The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1843-09-30

TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
l. the instruction of youth, and | cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
10 me during that period. The great pleasure which
gives me To imp ant the seeds of virtue and know
ledge renders this of the most delightful periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for vru and usefulness to give
them habits of feguiar and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners In oider to accom-
pish these desirable objects all my pupils reside
der my roof eat at the same table with my family OF
which they form part; and none Others are admit
ted. Thus constantly broug hit into contact with me-
the discipline, Which il strict and firm yet parental
paItakes, nearly may be, of the private unit ng
with 1t in degree the benent of public uc-
lion, AMI j. addressed to the hearts and good sense OF
my pupils, where prscl cable, rather than 70 their
fears. No pupil is admitted for a shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The num-
her adnucj will in exceed ID or i6 and none
over fourteen years. unless previously members Of my
family, except under extraurdinary circumstances
None are permitted to ramble at large and all
quiTed To conform To the regulations which me-
thodcal and agreeable TO such are vinuously dis
posed.
