PRIVATE EDUCATION.

TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
i the instruction of yonth, and l cannot but ieei
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
20 me during that period. The great pleasure which
il gives me to mplan the seeds of virtue and know
ledps renders this of the most delightful periods
of my fe- F.
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 application, ana
pleasing and agreeable manners Ia oIder TO accom-
plsh these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
der my roof eat at the same table with my tamiy, OF
which they form part and none others are admit
ted Thus constantly brought into contact with me-
the discipline, which is strict and firm, yet parental
paItakes nearly may be-, of the private, uniting
with il in degree the benent OF public instiuc-
ton and is addressed to the hearts and good sense OF
my pupils, where pIact cable, rather than to their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement The mum
Der admitted will In no case exceed ID or Ito, and none
fourteen years, unless previously members OF my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances
None permitted to ramble at large and all are re-
CURED to conform to the regulations, which are me-
thodcal and agreeable 10 such are vrtuousy dis
posed.
