In 1826,the New York Free School Society changed its charter and renamed itself as the New York Public School Society. Accompanied with this single substitution of Public for Free was a transformation of tution system. In this year, the Society firstly charged tution fees according to economic abilities of parents. But in 1832,only six years' experiences, this tution system was abandaned. In this study, I try to examine why the tution-system was changed between 1826 and 1832. Part 1 deals with rationales proposed by the Society, for and against tution fees. In Part 2,Special attention will be focused upon controversies between the Society and the Working Men.
