In setting forth prospectus of his school,
the subscriber, while he deprccates any
attempt to blazon forth his pretensions to
the qualification Of a teacher, deems il not
improper to state that he was educated at
the University Of Cambridge, (Eng'and,)
and vas engaged as classical teacher in
Hazelwood Grammar School, near Biru.iug-
ham, for two years previous to his residence
in the United Ssate..-Moreover, lie ina
gines the public TO be more or less acc upin.-
ed with his character, inasmnch as he has
taught school in Jefferson county upeerds
Of eighteen months. His method of teach
ing will be as much as possible analy;ica!;
he will endeavor to instil into the m:,, of
the pupil correct knowledge of the Eag'ish
language, its idioms, anomalies, the deriva-
ton and formation of words. The pr,per
pronunciation and emphatic reading of the
English tongue, is often lamensab. neg
lected in public schools. He will hestow
particular c,re upon E!ocntion, and sill in
sist upon frequent recita:ions durn@ the
quarter. The Greek and Latin classics
will meet with his utmost attention. tn"
| right quantity ofwords, (invariably tn test
"fsound scholarship;) the precise meaaing

, Recitations also will be delivered bv tn,
pupils, and the teacher will read occasiona
/ essays on the suhjectof education, with
view OF encouraging the student in the pnl
+ su:: Of knowledge. -.
8 The requisites of a teacher, it is presan
; ed, are--frstly, an intimate knowledge
! the suljects'he proposes to teach; and S.
n condly, the faculty of impar,ing tha, knov
o ledge to his pupils. 1t is necessary ais
l. tnat no shouiu nlVe acquired oy eEhef
:, encc the power Of discriminating hctwee
the various dispositions of his pnpi's, 50 a
to enable him toaadminister to each lis pr'

he should combine in his person the snnaI
e ners gentle,' with the purpose firm in o
, der to command the respect and good will {
l. his pupils; and by precept and example
e should imbue their minds with a hir
sense Of moral feeling, and an eager desir
to obtain knowledge.
