with the Institution, beg to announce that the Schools will
E the
RE-OPEN under his superintendence and direction as Prin-
cipal, on FRIDAY. the 28th July.
In introducing Mr. Mac Ilveen as Principal, it is quite un-
necessary to offer any formal testimony of his fitness for the
post to which the Directors have seen it to be their duty to
appoint him. As the Head Master of the Lower School, Mr..
Mac Ilveen has occupied a prominent position in the service
of the Institution for the last Fifteen Years ; he is well known
to the public of Liverpool, both as a Gentleman and as a
Scholar, while the uniform success which has distinguished
the department so long under his charge entitles him to the
utmost respect and confidence, as an experienced guide and
efficient instructor of youth.
The Two Schools will continue to be conducted as wholly
distinct and separate branches of the Establishment, and it
will be the constant aim, both of the Directors and the Prin-
cipal, to secure for the Pupils in the respective departments
such a course of instruction as may be best suited to their
several wants and purposes in society.
A Programme, containing full details, statement of terms,
&c., may be had on application. W. NICHOL, Sec.
Mount-street, June, 1854.

T lIVE [WOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION
HIGH AND LOWER SCHOOLS.

Referring to his appointment by the Board of Directors to
the charge of the HIGH and LOWER SCHOOLS, as Principal.
Mr. MAC I LVEEN begs to assure the Patrons and Supporters of
the Mechanics' Institution that it will be his earnest and con-
stant endeavour to secure for the Pupils in both of these im-
portant Schools such an Education as may be of real practical
value in after life, and in every way suitable to the various
positions they are destined to occupy in Society.
Mr. MACILVEEN having been engaged for the last fifteen
years in the management of one of the largest Schools in
Liverpool, feels it to be quite unnecessary to enter into any
minute statement of his views on the subject of Education.
He desires to state generally, however, that he has always
acted upon the belief that a schoolboy's days to be profitable-
must be rendered agreeable to him; that therefore his labour
must on the whole be made interesting and exhilarating; and,
further, that no system of instruction should be regarded as
satisfactory which does not include among its leading ob-
jects the culture of refined manners and becoming personal
deportment as well as the accumulation of the requisitestoreis
of knowledge and the development of the intellectuat anti
moral powers. _ . _ _

The iiishSchool provides a superior Commercial, Scientific,
and Classical Education, calculated to fit young men either
for Business or for entering the Universities.

The Lower School affora a superior English and Scientific
Ec4ucation, peculiarly calculated for young men devoted to
commerce or the practical arts.
A prospectus, containing full details as to terms, &c., may
bei2ad_on application. _ _

Mr. Macllveen receives into his house a limited number of
Boarders, and Pupils attending the Schools may also be re-
ceived as Daily Boarders.—For terms apply at 9, Sandon-
terrace.
