PRIVATE EDUCATION.
TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
Il the inst uc,ion Of yonth, and canDo. but feel
grateful for the patronage which has teen extended
to me during that period The great pleasure which
it gives To imp'ant the seeds of virtue and know
ledge, renders this of the most sh'fu periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for virtue and usefulness to give
them habits, of regular and close applicalion and
Pleasing and agreeable manners. In oider TO accom-
pIish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside
der my roof eat at the table with my family, Of
which they form part and none others admit
ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me,
the discipline, which is strict and firm, yet parental
aitakes, nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with it in some degree the benent of public nstIuc-
tion and is addressed the hearts and good Of
my pupils where pfact cable, rather than to their
fears NJ pupil is admitted for a shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement The num-
Der admitted will in exceed 10 or 16, and none
fourteen years, unless previously members OF my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances
None permitted To rambc at large, and all are
CURED to conform to the regulations, which are me-
lhodIcaI, and agieeabe 10 such vrtuJusy dis
