In the training of youth the great points are, TO

plish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
der my roof, eat at the same table with my family, OF
which they form part and none others are admit
ted. Thus co stantly brought into contact with me,
the iscipine, which is strict and firm, yet parental
paltakes nearly may be, of the private, uniting
with it in degree the benei of public lnstIuc
ton, and is addressed the hearts and good of
my pupils, where pact cable, rather than to their
fears No pupil Is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The hu H.
Der ADMITTED Will In no case exceed 10 TO- and none
over fourteen years, unless previously members of my

quired to conform to the regulations, which me-
hodical, and agreeable TO such vrtuously dis
posed.
