PRIVATE EDUCATION.

TWENTY years have apzed since commenced
l. The inst uclion of yontb and | cannon but feel
grateful for the patronage which has hcen extended
1, me during that period. The great pleasure which
it gives me 10 impant the seeds of virtue and know
ledge, renders this Of the deli III ful periods
of my life.
In the training Of youth the great points are, TO
form the character for vrue and usefulness to give
them habits of regular and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. Ia order to accom-
plish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside
der roof, eat at the same table with my family, OF
which they form pari and none others are admit
ted. Thusconstaniiy brought into contact with me,
the discipline, which is strict aud firm, yet parental,
paitakes nearly may be-, of the private, uniting
with it in degree the beneht Of public insttuc-
ton, and Is addressed to the hearts and good of
my pupils, where pact cable, rather than t. their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The nun-
Der al nii'ed will in case exceed ID or l6, and none
fourteen years, unless previously members of my
family, except under extraordinary circumstance
None permitted TO ramble at large, and all are Ie-
CURED TO conform to the regulations, which are me-
ihodcaI, and agreeable 10 such virtu usly dis
posed.
