There is no earthly way of giving satisfaction to all, except by granting the denominational system, thereby leaving to all sects and denominations, as well as to those who do not range themselves under any specific form at all, to apply a fair proportion of the school-money.
At the end of two weeks Ralph found himself exceedingly weary of Flat Creek, and exceedingly glad to hear from Mr. Means that the school-money had "gin out."

When he got to Lewisburg he had good news.
Billy Louise swung round in the saddle so that she faced them. "You needn't worry, Marthy, about that school-money," she called out angrily.
