It is a neat pamphlet of 48 pages, printed by Jas. W. McEwen. Monticello National: We are just in receipt of a catalogue of the Rensßelaer public schools. It was nicely printed and contains many pages of advertising. It was gotten up by J. W. McEwen, of the Sentinel office, and would be a credit to any printer. It contains 51 pages, and was paid Tor out of funds arising from advertising in the pamphlet. Do the trustees of the Monticello schools pay for their catalogues out of their own poakets or out of the school funds? If the latter, there is no law for it, and we can’t see where the economy comes in at. Will our trustees please make a note of this fact?
