By Order of the Prelident,
JOHN COLCOCK, Secretary.
IT always has been and still is a Matter of DiA
pute, wrether a Publ ck or a Private Education of
Youh has most Advantages. Each <t these Syffems has
its Advocates and each rave offered very forcible Rea.
foes in Support of their Portion. It is aigued oh the cne
Sile, that the fu: eriotir Number of Boys generally attend,
ing a Pu h lick .ci ol stirs up th.t EMULATE ,N, which is
the mod < ffcflual as well a§ the most laudable, Principle
of exerting ,heii Genius: Whilst the Supporters of the
other Tcn^t main ain, th it both the Morals ^nd Learning
of Child en must be better guarded and improved by being
coeft ntly unde the Di cation of a Master, that they are
apt to forget or omit their Labours during the Hours of
ne elf ry iriennmin, when tcy cannot be under his im
mediate L fpeflio ; and that a Teacher is more or less
uftfiil to hr Pu'pds, as their Number is smaller or greater.
This Question, it is hoped, will be better de
cided, when the Education of Youth becomes
more a Subject of Publick Attention: In the
mean Time, the Children of such Gentlemen in
the Country, who have neither the Opportunity
of a Publick: School nor a private Tutor for their
Inftru&ioh, may be accommodated with BOARD

cerjure the Inhabitants of this Town, for &ir
fhameful Inattention, in a Matter which Jo greatly
concerns the Properties, and it ma, be, the Live; of

and take Care that they be carefully swept Once

Moreover it is expelled, and will be in fifed on,

down and properly rebuilt^
Were People to confder how little Engines could
avail in Case a Fire Jbould happen when the Wind
is high, the, certainly would be careful to present
Accidents of this Sort, as far as might be in their
Power : For even allowing the, had little or no
Property of their own to loje,yet the Duty the, owe

ought to induce them to guard againflfueb diJlr^ng
Casualties, whereby Numbers might be involved

Further, Joiners^ House-Carpenters, Cabinet
makers, and others who work in Wood, are hereby
cautioned to clear their Shop of Shavings every
