Il the instruction of yonth, and cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
to me during that period The great pleasure which
il gives me to imp ant the seeds of virtue and know
ledge, renders this of the delightful periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for vir ue 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 un-
der my roof cat at the table with my family, Of
which they form part and none others are admit
ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me,
the discipline Which is strict aud firm, yet parental,
paiakes, as nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with it in some degree the beneft of public nstl NC
tion AMI Is addressed to the hearts and good sense OF
my pupils, where pIaci cable, rather than tn their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months unless by special agreement. The num-
Der admitted will in no exceed 10 or 10, and none
over fourteen years, unless previously members oil my

CURED to conform to the regulations whch are me-
thodcal, and agreeable TO such are vrtu0usy dis
