THE SELECT SCHOOL


 lN will, on the first Monday of October next, commence new session, under the superintendence of T. MAGRUDER and T. MANNING.
 Instruction will be inparted upon the in- ductiue method; or that in which we ascend from particular to general truths. This mode is now in use in the most celebrated schools, and is believed to be the most natural and successful one of introducing the elements of science to the mind. Its excellency over the mode commonly pursued, consists in this, that it brings into exercise and developes the reasoning powers, at the same time that it improves the memory, thereby rendering study pleasure rather than task.
 The pupils will be governed by the laws of kindness. Moral motives will be used as the chief means of government; and severe mea- sures resorted 10 only when all others have failed.
 The instructors will be so far companions of their pupils as their station will permit.- Every attention will be paid to develope the intellectual powers, to refine the taste, to inn prove the heart, to kndle the love of science, to fix the habit of observation, and to form the manners.
 We intend sparing no expense in providing ourselves with every necessary facility ot in struction. We have already ordered globes, maps, diagrams, and other articles ot appa- ratus for Illustrating various subjects ot study. The courses of study will be such as to fit either for college or for active life.
 There will be two sessions a year, of five months each.
 No student will be admitted for less time than session.
 Terms of tuition S15 per session, to be paid in advance.
 Among the text books to be used, we emu merate the following: National Spelling Book; Colburn's 1st and 2d Lessons in Reading and English Grammar; Grammar of Elocution, by J. Barber; Smiths Practical and Intellec- tualG Grammar; Colburn's 1st Lessons in Arith- metic, Sequel, and Algebra 1; First Lessons in Practical Geometry, by w. K. Johnson j; Grund's Geometry Malte-Brun's School Ge- ography; Gould's Adams Latin Grammar i; Walkers New Latin Reader; First Five Books of Cesar's Commentaries, with Eng fish Notes New Latin Tutor, by F.

 NOTE. At the suggestion of some of our patrons, we have thought proper to change the tuition of our school from S20 to S15 per session. The cause for the other alterations will readily be perceived.

 July 27, 1881. )
 At the request of MT. Thomas Manning, we state, with pleasure, that he has been em- ployed the last three months, which was the whole time for which he was engaged, as tutor in this University that during this time he has taught the more elementary and prepa- ratory studies; and that, in our opinien, he is entirely competent to fit students, he ele- mentary branches of English andiC Classical Education, for admission into this University.
