Fentonville, Mich., Jan. 15, 1858.

IRA MAYHEW, Esq., Supt. Public Instruction, Lansing, Mich.

DEAR SIR - Your favor of 28th December, is at hand, desiring a report from our Union District. I will answer as near possible your several questions.

Union School District No. one, township of Fenton was formed the 3d day of October at an adjourned annual meeting.

Site of school house not yet located.

Two hundred dollars has been raised to purchase site for school house.

No apparatus. Three hundred volumes in library.

School is taught in both district school houses. Two male teachers; one female teacher. The male teachers receive each $30 per month; the female $12 per month.

We think the school will be nearly free to citizens of the district.

It is impossible to make any extended remarks in relation to the result. The schools are much better than under the single district system.

Very Respectfully,
CHAS H. TURNER,
Director Union S. District No. 1, Fenton, M.
