The many defects in the present eystem OF

by Oral Lectures.
The year will be divided as follows, viz;
The first quarter will be devoted exclu-
sIveIy to English Grammar, including the
sounds of letters, the rules of Orthography,
aud proper oral instructions for reading.
The second, 10 Arithmetic, by unfolding its
principles and making the pupil thoroughly
understand the true philosophy Of numbers.
The third, to Geography, including Mod
ern History.
This science will be illustrated by Globes,
Maps, and Black-boards. The pupil will be
required TO draw maps Of The different coun-
tfieSs StdLeSi TVCTS4 showing Lat. Long. &C.
The last, to Natural and Moral Philosophy,
Rhetorical reading, EIocution, and a review
of the whole course of studies.
The class will devote about three quarters
of an hour to writing, each day.
