Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hector´s Inheritance: Or the Boys of Smith Institute Moreover, I employ competent teachers, and guarantee rapid progress, when the student is of good, natural capacity, and willing to work. "I think you will agree with me that it is unwise to economize when the proper training of a youth is in question, and that a cheap school is little better than no school at all. "I have only to add that I shall he most happy to receive your young nephew, if you decide to send him to me, and will take personal pains to promote his advancement. I remain, dear sir, your obedient servant, "Dionysus Radix." Mr. Roscoe threw the letter down upon the desk with an impatient gesture. "Five hundred dollars a year!" he exclaimed. "What can the man be thinking of? Why when I went to school, twenty-five years since, less than half this sum was charged. The man is evidently rapacious. Let me see what this other letter says." The second letter was contained in a yellow envelope, of cheap texture, and was much more plebeian in appearance than the first. Again we will look over Mr. Roscoe´s shoulder, and read what it contains. It was postmarked Smithville, and the envelope was disfigured by a blot.
