It was the purpose of this study to examine all possible material concerning the Reidville Private High Schools, from their beginning in 1857, through their forty-seven year history, to reveal the facts in connection with the type of schools, to learn how and why they were started, supported, and expired, to consider the contributions of the schools to society, and to furnish the groundwork for a study of the public schools that followed the private schools. It is hoped that this study will eliminate some of the old opinions and unreliable traditions that prevail.
