There will be no available appropriations for reopening the terms before next fall. It behooves the parents of children, therefore, to generously support the private schools that will be opened by the public school teachers and thus, while affording their children an opportunity of keeping up their studies will give employment to the teachers who have endeavored faithfully to serve them. By all means give your teachers good private schools and encourage the cause of education.
