PRIVATE EDUCATION

TINWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
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 to implanl the seeds of virtue and know
ledge renders this of the most deli. ful 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 application and
p leasing and agreeable manners. In oder to accom-
pish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
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 aud firm, yet parental
paitakes, nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with it in degree the benent of public Instiuc-
tinn ami is addressed 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 adj nilieJ will in no case exceed ID or 10, and none
over fourteen years, unless previously members OF my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances
None are permitted to ranble at large, and all
qured to conform to the regulations, which are me-
ihodca and ieeoble 10 such are virtu usly dis
posed. 3.a
