TIME board Of trustees tor Charlotte han
4 school deem it their duty to announce
to the ubic, the present fourlshlng con
dition of this institution. Since the intro.
auction of the present professors, the school
has rapidly progressed in the public est-
nation.
When Philip Briscoe, esq. was cai'ea 10
assume the office of Principal, there we're
but 81 pupils. The liberaity Of the State
Legislature of 1877, enabled the trustees TO
retain his services and t!ose OF Mr. 'iiiu-
more for the classical depaitment--the ne
.erend MIR. Neaie II. Shaw has also been
retained as professor of mathematics, ana
he is aided in that department by Mr.
Sweetsee, gentleman in high estimation
as professor. Under the management OF
these gentlemen the school has now 80
boys; aud very many applications have al
ready been made for entrance and board.
Heretofore a portion of the boys have been
compelled to board at the neighborlng hou
ses at too great distance from the schooi;
the trustees are now making arrangements
which will enable fifty boys more to be ac-
commodated Immediately at the school; so
that at all times the Principal will be ena-
DtGu I'd EXERCISE Il StiCi'i
over their moral department to the corrup-
ton of which, the boys in this retired vii
lage have but few temptations). The
board will remark to those who are unac-
quainted with this place, that no part OF
Maryland is more distinguished tor its ge-
neral healthiness. The price OF boah is
only 100 dollars year. The tuition is
now but eS dollars year! 1t will be rails
ed after Augustto 80 dollars price much
lower, however, than any OF the public
schools of our state.
1t is intended then by the trustees to Sc
lect four boys [of poor and INDECENT pa
rents) of promise, and to board, clothe,
and educate them entirely at the expense
of the institution, and afterwards 10 labor
to procure them that station to which their
talents and conduct may entitle them.
