CHARLES EDWARD HERBERT ORPEN, M.D
M.R.1.A., Member of. the Royal Colleges of Surge
of London and of Ireland ; AssociCi Etranger de la 5,
pour l'Enseignement Elementaire, Paris; MP—'
rary, or Corresponding Member of several Literary and Sc.
entific Societies; late Chairman of the Court of Examiners
of the Royal I. College of Surgeons, for Chemistry, Minera-
logy, Botany, Natural History, Materia Medica, Toxicology
and Medical Jurisprudence; formerly Physician and Sur-
geon, by appointment of Government, or of Public Bodies,
to various Institutions and Hospitals; Author of " The
Contrast," " Anecdotes and Annals of the Deaf and Dumb,"
" The Pestalozzian Pritner," &c., &c.. has associated with
himself MONSIEUR LOUIS ALBERT DU PUGET.
Mr. Du PUGET, having been educated by the celebrated
PESTALOZZI, was early initiated, by that great and good
man, in the Science of Education and Art of Instruction,
while residing with him in his Institut at Yverdon, first as a
Pupil, and afterwards for five years as Professor. He was
subsequently connected, as Teacher of Mathematics, French,
&c., &c., for eight years, with the well-known Abbeyleix
School, originated by Lord DE VESCI, for the Sons of the
Higher Orders of Society; and has been since for fifteen
years Head Master of the Birmingham Deaf and Dumb In-
stitution ; a department of Instruction, which above all others
qualifies Teachers for devising, testing, and perfecting ra-
tional and philosophical principles and plans, applicable
alike
to every branch of Education.

ber, Hono-

Dr. CHARLES ORPEN, aided by Mr. Du PC GET, and
both devoting their united time, acquirements, and experi-
ence to the Education and Instruction of Children, with the
assistance of the best Masters in special departments, will
receive such Pupils as their Parents or Guardians may be
desirous of .entrusting to a parental care, under a conviction
that they will be treated with judicious and uniform kindness,
while governed as if part of a family, by gentle means, coin-
bined with a strict discipline.
The advantages of public and of private education will thus
be associated, as much as practicable, under paternal manage-
ment; and a constant and affectionate personal oversight of
all the Pupils will be exercised, not only in the School-room
and while studying, but in their leisure, plays, recreations,
and social intercourse; in order to prevent that depravation
of feelings, principles, and manners, and destruction of the
" Physique" and "Morale " of children, which so often
lamentably occurs at public schools.
The younger children will also enjoy the special benefits
of maternal care and female superintendence, which will
render school as like home to them as possible ; and thus
too the moral advantage of not separating brothers will be
secured, as well as means provided for the culture of domes-
tic feelings and virtues, on which the character in after-life
so much depends.

The Course of Instruction is intended to prepare Pupils
fully, from the very first steps, for the Universities and
Learned Professions, while at the same time meeting the
other wants of society, by providing for the requirements of
Mercantile and Commercial, or of Literary and Scientific:
life,; by superadding Modern Languages, as well as Natural,
Theoretical, or Practical Sciences, to a sound English Edu-
cation, united with a thorough Instruction in the Ancient,
Classical, and Sacred Languages and Authors.
In order to carry this plan into successful execution, it is
desirable that the children should be admitted young, and,
if possible, know already how to spell and read pretty well,
in order to save their time.
The Religious Education will be wholly Scriptural, affec-
tionate, cheerful, and practical.
With all Pupils, Dr. CHARLES ORPEN will be thankful
to receive written memoranda, as to their previous general
health, sicknesses, progress, habits, intellect, peculiar ta-
lents, and probable destination in life, &c., &c., which he
may keep by him, to assist in their good management in all
respects. _

Doctor CHARLES Onrms's long and extensive practical
knowledge and experience, as a Physician, ensure judicious
attention to health, even in the case of delicate children.
There are Hot, Cold, and Shower Baths in the House,
and facilities in the vicinity for Sea-bathing in summer.
Each Pupil will have a separate bed.
Woodside is beautifully situated on the hanks of the Mer-
sey, nearly opposite to Liverpool, from which steam ferry-
boats cross the river every half hour of the day. The loca-
lity thus combines proximity to the advantages of a large
city, in its facilities of obtaining the best Masters in special
branches of Instruction, with complete separation ; and
equally secures to the Pupils, while growing, the benefit of a
residence in good air, amid cheerful maritime and naval sce-
nery, and opportunities of healthful exercise and recreation,
in a part of the country highly esteemed for its salubrity.
Liverpool too, being now the great centre of steam com-
munication, both by sea and land, offers unequalled facilities
for easy, cheap, and rapid access, without multiplied delays
on the journey, evil associations, or changes of conveyance,
for Pupils even from the remotest parts of the United King-
dom, or from foreign countries, especially the East and West
Indies and our other Colonies.
