NAMES NJ. GARNETT proposes 20 omen a ScbooI
oU on the LIST OF January next for Boys of IL years
age ana upwards. The general and supcrnerl-
dence OF them will be by himself but their
in all the various sciences and languages necessary In
prepare them for regular College Education, will be
conded to the best qualified and most experienced In
structor he can any where engage. The number of
Pupils will be limited 80, but the School will b.,
commenced with 20, il 50 many be possibly engaged.
NO day scholars will be received Should any parents
and guardians be disposed TO send, they respectfully
requested to make known their intentions as soon as
practicable, by letter (pos paid directed to Loretto,
Essex county, va. To guard against disapponlmcn;s
1t shall be publicly announced when thc number 20 is
made up. But should that number not be engaged by
the lst of October public notice will hen be given that
the plan is abandoned. This will give time to all who
may have engaged scholars 10 procure places for
them in other schools which generally open about that
period The charge will be $3.50 for the scholastic wear
of ten months--payablc half yearly in advance: end
will include board and every other expense except ap
parel, mcnling the same-booSS and stationery. The
two last will be furnished, if desired for cash. al yey
small advance wholesale p,ices while the mendin,,
can be done very tiing by sempstresses in the
neighbourhood, who will receive and deliver their
clothes when wanted.-The experience of many wears
justhes the accommodation OF Elm Wood as place
where in all human probability, boys will enjoy as much
physical hsaIh as al any spot in the United States
HOW 1t may be with their moral health, should the
school be established, time alone can discover Suffice
it TO say dat they will be under the constant care and
supervision OF one who is deeply AMI most thoroughly
convinced that good moral education is first and above
all things essentially necessary, whatever may be the
profession trade, calling for which boy is desfined
that iot0f S knowledge OF all arts, sciences and lam
guages whatever, will confer only additional power TO
mar human happiness: and that loth it, the youth of
our country will have the best outfit they possibly can
have for any avocaton they may wish 10 follow. Ignay
perhaps be proper to add thatby good moral eiucaio-
mean system OF rules and prin .p!es for correct con-
duet through he,-5uperinluccd neither by the uso
OF the rod nor by the usual simuans emulation and
ambition, but resulting wholly and entirely from true
iaith--no in any particular sectaan creed, but in
The Christian religion. Upon this principle and on
no other do offer to undertake the direction of a
school, for although perfectly willing aid all can il,
preparing boys live useully and honourably iss the
world, never will be instrumental teaching any hu-
man being TO live for it, and for it alone which is I'M
quesonably the effect whatever may be the desig,, of
Tar too many OF our systems education for both sexes
There will be but one law for the general govern
ncnt of the schooit is, that all pupils who behave
young gentlemen should do, viii be treated lie gen
Heaen and that thoso who find such conduct too great
a restraint-shoud there be any such--wil after a
sufficient trial DithoR amendment be requested to
seek instruction elsewhere.
