 holiday on Friday, instead of Saturday, which 

 would enable him on Friday to visit the several 

 schools in rotation, in order to give instruction to 

 the teachers; and on Saturday the teachers might 

 attend, occasipnally, at his school for that purpose.

 with the premiums to be paid by the training 

 pupils, would nearly equal the amount of the salary 

 guaranteed. So that a small amount only would be 

 required from the pubKc chest. In case that I shall 

 be continued in the office of inspector, and that my 

 visits be rendered less frequent, it will afford me 

 much pleasure to relinquish a part of my small 

 emoluments, if it might in any way assist in attain-
