La, setting forth prospectus of his school,
the subscriber, while he deprecates any
attempt to blazon forth his pretensions to
the qualification Of a teacher, deems it not
improper to state that he was educated nj
the University Of Cambridge, (EngIand,)
and was engaged as a classical teacher in
fiazelwood Granular School, near Birming-
ham, for two years previous to his residence
in the United Statcs.-Moreover, he ina
gines the public TO be more or less acquaint-
ed with his character, inasmuch as he has
taught school in Jefferson county upwards
of eighteen months. His method Of teach
ing will be as much as possible analytical;
he will endeavor to instil into the mind of
the pupil a correct knowledge of the English
language, its idioms, anomalies, the deriva-
ton and formation of words. The proper
pronunciation and emphatic reading Of the
English tongue, is often lsmentably neg
lected in public schools. He will bestow
particular clre upon Elocntion, and will in
sist upon frequent recitations during the
quarter. The Greek and Latin classics
| will meet with his utmost attention. The
right quantity ofwords. Invariably the ties,
of sound scholarship;) the precise meaning
Of radical words in composition; the Literal
translation Of the Greek and Latin langnag
es, (as far as their different idioms will ad
nifty will be enforced. Greek and Latir
exercises will be required; the construc
ton Of Hoxameter and Pentameter verses
the metres OF Horace and Greek Iambics
vii! be examined.
4
i Quarterly Examinations will be Instituted
in the school, to take place on the last Fri
day IN every quarter, at which the teacher
will request the presence Of the parents
and friends Of the pupils, and will examine
the pupils in those studies which they have
pursued during the quarter: thus enabling
the parents to ascertain what progress their
children have, from time to time, made
REGULATIONS also will be delivered by the
pupils, and the teacher will read occasiona
essays on the suhjectof education, with q
view of encouraging the student in the pur
suit Of kn,wle'ige.
The requisites of teacher, it is presum
ed, arc--irstly, an intimate knowledge o.
the subjects he proposes to teach; and Sc
condly, the faculty of imparting that know
ledge to his pupils. 1t is necessary as
that he should have acquired by expert
ence the power Of discriminating between
the various dispositions Of his pnpis, 50 a:
to enable him to administer to each its pro
Ipertreatment; and again it is requisite tina
he should combine in his person the sman
ners gentle: with the purpose firm in or
, der to command the respect and good will o
his pupils; and by precept and example
should Undue their minds with a higl
sense Of moral feeling, and an eager desire
, to obtain knowledge.
