Wilmington, New-Caflle county, May 7, 1782.
TH E cruflees of the public grammar school in this
borough, held their ^half-yearly meeting here this
day, in pursuance of the charter, when the scholars
were examined, and p rformed their exercises 'o the
fatisfaaion of the trustees and several gentlemen of
letters who favoured this institution with their compa
ny on the occasion.
The ravages of war, which have disturbed the pro
secution of the plan of this promising seminary of
learning for several years, being, in all appearance
over, the trustees were desirous of reviving the indo
tution, and accordingly, last fall, engaged a gentle
man of learning to undertake the care of it until this
present meeting.
The great progress a number of youth have made
in a short time, and the excellent order which has been
preserved in the fchoo ? , Satisfied the truflees that the
abilities of the master are adequate to the undertaking,
and they have now established him here upon a foot
ing which they hope will be permanent.
The Salubrity of the air, the orderly manners of the
inhabitants and the very moderate price of tuition and
boarding, render this a very eligible place for the edu
cation of Such children, whole parents cannot place
them at good Schools in their own neighbourhood ; or
who chufe to avoid mere populous and expensive
towns ; and even those who mean to finifh their educa
tion in a college cr university, may find it to their ad
vantage to give them the early part of their learning
at this place ; from whence the transition to the oniyer
fity of Pennsylvania will be very easy; as the fame
books and methods will be used here as there.
The price of tuition for the Latin and Greek lan
guages is fixed at fix pound per annum; one quarter
to be paid at the time of entering; and boarding, in
reputable and decent families, may be had from twen
ty-five to thirty pounds per annum.
Such of the pupils as are masters of the Latin gram
mar and have an inclination, will be taught the French
or Italian languages grammatically, in the vacant
hours, either morning or evening; and if a class of
6or 8 (hall desire t, a course of Geography, with the
use of the terreflial Globe, will be exhibited upon
moderate terms.
[The Printers of Philadelphia, by inferring this in
their papers two or three times, at short intervals, will
oblige the trustees ; and, perhaps, afford to some of
their valuable customers an ufeful piece of intelligence.]
