WAsHMGT0N ACADEME

ONE year has elaPsed sinc'
/ the trusteestof this institution de
clined employing . steward, and
| have permitted the Students q
engage boarding for themselves
| in the vicinity Of the Academy.
The experiment was new and
sosnewhat doubtfnl; but We are
now authorized TO assure the P.ib.
lie II has, hitherto, proved satis-
factory to the friends Of the insti-
tuition. ) The Students during the
sboSs period. hsve been orderly
and iihgene, and have. GENERALLY,
made I very aA.tering proficiency
IN their studies.
To eoutiuoe, q far ~ il our
power, this pleasing state of #.
fairs, we have thought proper to
recommend \ few things to the at-
teution Of such parents As may
commit pupils to our cafe, not
doubsingbut they viii cheerfully.
cooperate with US in any mea.
sures which may appear eondu.
Give 70 4 purpose in which they,
are 50 deeply interested. :
In the first place it is desirable,
that young gentlemen should
board 10 private rather than in
public houses. Enquiry has been
made relative to this matter, and
it has been ascertained that Stu.
dents may be accommodated in q
number Of private families Of the
first respectsbility ia Lexington.
This Recommendation, we admit
is Of the less importance, Is there
are some public houses in Lexing-
ton ofVery good character /; and
also. n the students lodge 10 the
Academy bGildings, and are ceu-
fined to them and to their studies
during die greater part Of the day,
so as toleaVe but little opportuni-
~ for spsociating with Improper
companf Still, however,, when
the morals Of young men are ia
question, too much caution can
not be xercised. - !.
Anosher consideration, and. of
much higher importance, is that
parents would not be too liberal
in their peeuniarv supplies. A
superahundance Of money, in the
hands Of Students, has furnished
matterof complaint to all semina-
ries, aud, 10 too many instances,
Of lasting regret 70 parents them
selves. And perhaps the case be.
comes worse, when, instead Of
actual money, the Student OBJ
tains unlimited credit. The best
way, undoubtedly, u, to send
any surplus money 10 some friend
or guardian Who may suPerintend
al peeuniary disbursement. And
that parents may form a just est.
mate Of the expenditures, absox
lusely necessary, we win subjoin
