Loving it but where are the day students?

I have visited the Higgins Classical Institute and find the description outstanding. I am enjoying reading about the history of the school as well as learning more about Charleston, Maine. My great grandfather was a farmer in Charleston, Me. He attended the Institute as did his five daughters. (my grandmother and aunts.) I was a bit disappointed however that the day students are not mentioned very much. The kids in the town (many of them farmer's children and not well to do) went free as I understand it. They too contributed to the historical value of the Institute. I would like to contact the author to see if she ran across the name Benjamin Dyer, or Roxanna Dyer in her research. I am not finished reading this book but am enjoying it.
