ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me,
the discipline Which is strict and firm, We, parental
partakes, as nearly may be- of the private, uniting

my pupils, where pact cable, rather than to their
eers. No pupil is admitted for a shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The num-
