As the school was opened only seven months ago, it is too 

 soon for us to offer to its friends any accurate estimate of the 

 cost of maintaining it each year. It will be seen at once, 

 however, that many of the items stated in the foregoing 

 account should not be counted as part ol its ordinary expen- 

 ses. The outlays for construction of green-house, for house- 

 furnishing, and a large part of the cost of garden tools, of 

 advertising, and of express, are to be charged to the cost of 

 opening the school, even though for some time to come we 

 must expect similar expenditures. Perhaps it is safe to say 

 that about five hundred dollars a month (including rent) seems 

 to be at present about the current expense of the school, and 

 that, even with the present small number of scholars, nearly 

 one-half of that amount is received for tuition, board, and sales 

 of produce. If the number of scholars should be increased to 

 the full capacity of the house, and all should be able to pay, 

 for themselves or by free scholarships, the same charges for 

 board and tuition as are now paid, we may reasonably expect
