to me during that period The great pleasure which

of my life.
In the training Of youth the great points are To
form the character for virtue and usefulness To give
thrm habits Of regular and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In uider to accom-
ish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside Ut
der my roof cat at the same 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 stnct and firm, yet parental
paItakes nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with IN some degree the brncit of public nsliuc-
ton, /, addressed To the hearts and goud sense of
NV pupis where pact cable rather than t. their
fears. No pupil Is admitted for sh uter period than
ten months, unless 10y special agreement The Lum-
Der adj intel will in NJ exceed ID l6, and none
