BROOKVILLE ACADEMY.

YTNHE Trustees Of this Institution, situated in
l. Brookville, Montgomery County, Mary
land, about 20 miles from Washington, and %
from Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem il
proper to inform the public that they have en-
gagged NATHAN G. Books, A. M. as Principal of
this Academy. Mr.. Brooks is gentleman o.
most unexceptionable character, Of high standf
ing as scientific and classical scholar, and Of
| very considerable experience in the education
of youth, having been very advantageously
known for some years past as the Principal Of
Franklin Academy at Reisterstown; and the
high reputation which that school attained un-
der him, is strong evidence of his qualifications
| for such a station.
The central position and convenient distance
of BrOokvile Academy from the cities Of w ash
ington, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired 81
| tuation and location in healthy moral, and
intelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of
spurious liquors is prohibited by an express act
Of the Legislature, and where there is, conse-
quently, less danger Of the youthful mind beco-
ming contaminated by the frequent observa-
ton of vice and immortality; together with the
high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr..
Brooks, the Board of Trustees fatter themselves
will give their Academy claims upon public pa
tronage which are surpassed by none, and per-
haps equalled by very few similar institutions
in the State.
Mr.. Brooks will enter upon his duties in the
Academy on the 9Th September next, and will
be assisted by three gentlemen well qualified to
instruct the pupils in their respective depart
ments.
The terms for tuition in English, Maizena,
tics, and Ancient Languages, Board, Washing,
Rent, and Fuel $50 373 cents per quarter. The
modern languages are Sc per quarter each. No
money will be required in advance, for either
board or tuition; but respectable references
must be given to the President Of the Board Of
Trustees, on application for admission.
For more detailed statement of the course
of studies, regulations, &C. of this Institution,
the Board will refer the public to the accompa-
nying prospectus of the Institution.
