Here, as elsewhete, the abolition of the Pettit- ary, and tbe establishment of (=Linn' Own ()lasses have tended to diminish the attendanee at high schools. The effect of the latter cause is seen ha the „relatively smaller number of county pupils now •in attendance. At one dine the county ,pupils formed' one- half of the school ; now the town pup- ils outnumber those from the county by nearly fifty per cent. As the con- tinuation Masses ate more within reach of many, the above, result is ua,t., urea enough.
