PRIVA rE EDUCATION.


TNWENTY years have elapsed since | commenced
i the inst uc ion of youth, and ! cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
To me during that period. The great plea .ure which
it gives to imp ant the seeds of virtue and know
ledge renders his of the most deli III full periods
of my life
In The training of youth the grsat points are, Ia
form the character for vrue and abtu!ness 10 give
them HABITS of regular and Close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In older to accom-
lish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
der my roui lat at the same table with my family, Of
which they form part and none Others are admit
ted. Thus constantly bTuugh t into contact with me,
the discipline, Which is strict aud firm, yet parental,
pilakes, as nearly as may be-, of the pNatc, uniting
with in degree the benefit Of public Inslruc-
ton, i, addressed to the hearts and good scHse OF
my pupis, where pact cable, rather than t. then
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The nun-
Der adhille will in no case exceed ID l6 and none
over fourteen years, unless previously members of my
family except under extraordinary circumstances
None permitted to ramble at large, and all
quired to conform 10 Tie regulations, hch are me
thod cal, and Agreeable TO such virtuously dis
posed.
