TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
the instruction of yonth, and cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
70 me during that period The great pleasure which
il gNes ne to impant 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 viru and usefulness TO give
them habits of regular and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In oder 10 accom-
psh these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
der my roof eat at the table with my family, oil
which they form part and none others are admit
ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me,
the discipline which is strict aud firm, yet parental,
paItakes, a nearly may be- Of the private, uniting
with in some degree the benefit of public insiiuc-
ton and is addressed the hearts and good sense OF
my pupils where p,aci cable rather than to their
fears No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten mo nths, unless by special agreement The num-
her admitted will In no exceed 10 or TO- ana none
over fourteen years, unless previously members OF my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances
None permtt.d 10 rambe at large, and all are Ie-
uuired to conform TO the regulations which are me-
lhodcal and agreeable 10 such as are vrtuousy dis
posed.
