  erection

  ADVANTAGES 
  TO 
  NON-RESIDENTS. 
  

  

  The 
  superior 
  advantages 
  afforded 
  by 
  our 
  Graded 
  School 
  

   are 
  not 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  citizens 
  of 
  the 
  town. 
  Pupils 
  from 
  

   the^Clntry 
  and 
  from 
  other 
  towns 
  will 
  be 
  received 
  upon 
  

   payment 
  of 
  fees 
  amounting 
  to 
  onl}' 
  about 
  one-half 
  the 
  regu- 
  

   lar 
  charges 
  of 
  other 
  schools. 
  Many 
  are 
  availing 
  themselves 
  

   of 
  these 
  extraordinary 
  facilities, 
  and 
  this 
  number 
  will 
  con- 
  

   tinue 
  to 
  increase. 
  The 
  school 
  stands 
  in 
  the 
  foremost 
  ranks 
  

   of 
  the 
  educational 
  institutions 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  and 
  when 
  a 
  good 
  

   thing 
  can 
  be 
  procured 
  at 
  half-price 
  people 
  are 
  not 
  slow 
  to 
  

   tivail 
  themselves 
  of 
  it.
