Plan for a high school in Savannah Texas style debate
The discussion argues for a graded high school funded by town taxes, projecting 150 pupils with four teachers at 1200 each. Forecasts include 400 from Peabody Fund and 400 from the State School Fund, leaving 2500 to be raised and about 16 per pupil per year. Additional attendance from abroad could offset costs.
