MATTHEW MAGUIR F,
Preceptor to young Ladies, only, in the English
Language, Penmanflrip, and Arithmetick,
PR ESENTS his service to the Public, and his
grateful thanks to his refpe&able employers,
and begs leave to inform them that he has lately
fitted up eery suitable apartments, for different
schools, at his dwelling house, in Carter's-alle, be
tween Second and Third-streets, where he conti
nues to inftruft in the above mentioned branches.
In the English Language a particular atten
tion is paid to accuracy in fuelling, and all the
grammar rules, and the grtateft pains taken to ena
ble the pupil to lead with a true pronunciation, and
a due regard to the flops.
In Penmanship a like careful regard is had to
write with jreed., M and ease, from examples feleded
from the ablest penmen; and when Efficiently ini
tiated into this ufeful art, they arc. instead of bein~
confined to a formal copy line, exercised in trail
fcr,nf e P ittolar y an d other precedents, from the
most esteemed English authors, and their own abi
lities occasionally put to trial, in inditing and im
proving their taste and fancy for ornamental
strokes in penmanship, their performances examin
ed and corrected in their presence, and every en
deavour put in pa&ice to make them fenfire of
and avoid all improprieties in didion, and all inac
curacies in writing; and in Arithmetick they are
well grounded in the tables and principles of, each
rue ° A. n edifying talk will be given, each time
they go from School, to be rehearsed on their next
attendance, and a part of one day in the week will
be appropriated for a general repetition ; and for
their more Speedy improvement under his tuition,
their books, copies, pens, &c. shall be so prepared, in
the school intervals, that they may, on their next
attendance, apply dire&ly to bufineis.
His Public School will absolutely be limited to
twenty pupils, in the morning, and the like number
in the afternoon; a regulation which v ill nil>le
him to do the greatest justice to each, and whereby
they may make a much greater proficiency than
they probably would by attending a whole day at a
numeious school. School hours from halt after
Eight to half after Eleven, in the morning, and
from Two to Five, in the afternoon.
His Private School will be conduced in a diffe
rent apartment (elegantly prepared for the purpose)
and limited to tenyoung Ladies, who (hall b< form
ed into two clafles, afid carefully inftr&d in the
aforefaid branches, in which the tutor flatters him
felf, their improvement will (dm be conspicuous
(hould he be favored with their own clcle applica
tion and confant attendance. Houisof attendance,
from half after Eleven, in the forenoon, to half after
One, in the afternoon, during the winter, and from
Eleven to One, in the (ummer season.
A Night School for girls only, is opened by him
at his ibid house, for the admission of such (iris a ;
cannot be spared, by their parents, @r guardians, in
the Jay time; and of such servant girls as can bring
a good character from their makers and mifireffes.
Punctual attendance will be given, and all diligence
used for their speedy improvement in fuelling, read
ing! writing, ^nd arithmetick. This school is pro
posed for the convenience and Satisfaction of those
well dilpofed persons who are desirous of affording
their girls a necessary education (the greatest ben.?
fit, perhaps, they can confer upon them) end who
do not chose they (hould intermix with, or be liabe
to the rudeness of boys, at Evening Schools, This
prudent obj^ftion is,' nevertheless, produaiveof a
very grievous, and sometimes an irremedi able dis
advantage to girls who lose the opportunii, of an
education, in their early and most fufeept b e years,
which, it is hope<l, the present proposal will have a
great tendency to remedy and prevent.
