PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

AVING understood that, in addition TO the
A1 Schools now IN operation in Columbus, 4
private school for boys is needed, Mr.. Agernon S.
Vgus proposes to conduct school during his res
idence in this place Tor the instruction of bows in ey
cry department Of English, Classical and Scientific
study.
It's properly an object with parents to place their
SONS at select school, but it is well known that most
schools, so termed, are merely nominay such,-the
only principle Of selection heretofore adopted by
Teachers being the ability Of the parent to pay.
No discrimination between pupils offered to the
teacher has ever BEEN nor can, with propriety, be
made. The end in view can he attained onv bv
the adoption Of the fundamental principle in educa-
ton, that youth to be ,ceH taught. must be reH gor-
e,ned, and the determination to retain none who
cannot be brought under sautary control.
Mr.. V. will be pleased to have under his charge
the sons ofparents whose views coincide with these
and assures them that neither their hopes will be
disappointed, nor their money thrown away Mr. V.
vcrd remark TO those who have made education
SUBJECT Of any reflection, that the instruction of
youth is not with bun subsidiary Or temporary en-
ployment, that he is professionally Teacher and
has devoted many years TO the study of the science
ofEducaton and the successful application of its
principles.
The school will be opened on the 2lst August,
and continue 10 the 2lst Dec.
The charge will be made from the time Of en-
trance to the close Of the session, al the rate Of $l5
per quarter for boys over ten years Of age and SI2
for boys under that age. The tuition Zee payable
one half in advance.
The number of pupils will be limited to twenty
five. 1t is desirable that those who may wish TO
send at any time during ie session. should intimate
their intention as early as convenient
Mr.. V. may be seen at the residence Of Col.
