TRENTON ACADEMY.
A NUMBER of the inhabitants of Trenton
and the country adjoining, in order to ren
der the means of education more easy and certain,
have formed a regular permanent establishment
for that purpose. A commodious handsome Rone
building has been erefted, and is now finifhed
for the reception of scholars. A school, in which
reading, writing, common arithmetick, and book
keeping, are taught, has been formed some time,
under the care of an able teacher, and is carried
on with great propriety and success. To improve
the system, another is now opened, in which are,
taught the English, Latin and Greek languages
grammatically; geography, practical mathema
ticks, the principles of natural philosophy and as
tronomy, publick speaking, and the rudiments of
any other branch of ufeful education, either to fit
pupils to finish a course at college, or to go imme
diately into business. The fubferibers, the prelent
trustees of this institution, are determined to spare
no pains to render it as beneficial as possible; to
which end they have put it under the care of
George Merchant, B. A. a gentleman graduated
at the college of New-Jersey several years ago,
who has, from the time he completed his Rudies,
been engaged in teaching, and whose prudence and
'ability have been highly approved. the lituation
of the place is pleasant and healthful; boarding
may be had in genteel reputable families, and on
reasonable terms; and Ibid attention will be paid
to the morals and behaviour of the youth. A
school for the Rudy of the French language will be
opened, as soon as a fufficient number or scholars
to support a teacher are engaged.
It is not the intention of the fubferibers to trou
ble the publick with strained and pompous repre
sentations in favour of this academy; they are
persuaded the success and ufefulnefs of it will soon
recommend it more effectually.
