Il the instruction of youth, and cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
to me during that period. The great pleasure which

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
pleasing and agreeable manners Ia order to accom-
psh these desirable Objects all my pupils reside
der my roof 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 strict aud firm, yet parental
parakes, nearly may be, Of the private, uniting
with it in some degree the benei of public nstIuc-
ton and is addressed the hearts and good of
my pupils, where pract cable rather than to their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement The num-
Der admitted will in exceed ID or l6, and none
