Only such, however, as are between the ages of 7 and 16, are permitted to attend the free school. Those under $550 00 seven, attend female private schools. The persons between the ages of 7 and 16, are divided into five classes, of 52 each. Each class attends school ten weeks, and then goes out for the residue of the year, to give opportunity to the other four classes to attend, during their respective terms.
