grateful for the patronage which has been extended
t. during that period. The great plea which
il gives to impanl the seeds of virtue and know

Of my life.
In the training Of youth the great points are TO
form the character for vr and usefulness to give
them habits of regular and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In oider TO accom-
pish these desirable objects all my pupils reside
der my roof eat a, the same table with my family OF
which they form part; and none others are admit
It'd. Thusconstan,ly brought into contact with me,
the discipline which is strict and firm, YET parcna
paltakes, nearly may BE-, of the private, uniting
with it in degree the benedt of public inst NC
tior and i addressed to the hearts and good sense of
my pupils, where pract cable, rather than t. their
fears No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months unless by special agreement. The nu n
Der admitted will in no case exceed 10 IT, and none

CURED to conform to the regulations which are me-
hodcal and agreeable to such are virlu usly dis
