PRIVATE EDUCATION.

TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
Il the instruction of youth, and cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
IL me during that period. The great pleasure which
il gives me implan the seeds of virtue and know
ledge renders this of the most delightful periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for virtue aud usefulness To give
them habits of regular and close application, and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In OIder TO accom-
psh these desirable objects all my pupils reside
der my roof, eat at the same table with my family OF
which hey form part; and none Others are admit
ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me-
the discipline which is strict and firm, yet parental
paItakes nearly may be, OF the private, uniting
with il in some degree the benent Of public instiuc-
tIn ant Is addressed the hearts and good sense Of
my pupils, where pfact cubic, rather than to their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The mum
Der ADMITTED will in exceed 10 or 10, and none
over fourteen years. unless previously members of my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances
None permitted to rambe at large and all are re-
CURED TO conform 10 the regulations, which are me
rhodca and agreeable TO such are yiruousy dis
posed.
