Tnn cANToN rEMALn AcADnMY.

Is now in successful operation under the SUI
perintendece Of Mr.. ROBERT ANBRRsoN, as
Principal, and competent Assistants. Mr..
Anderson is a graduate Of the South Carolina
College, and has been engaged in teaching
in this and the neighboring States for several
years past. He is a teacher by profession,
and by the arrangements made with him his
interest is intimately identified with the pros
perity of the institution over which, he pfesides.
He comes recommended to us by gentlemen
of high character and standing in this State, as
an accomplished scholar, a gentleman and II
notwithstanding with these qualities a
talent for maintaining discipline and a happy
faculty of imparting knowledge. Chemical
and Philosophical apparatus, Globes, Maps,
&C., will be provided.
The Academy building is spacious and COM
Portable, and besides the School Rooms, is in
tended for the residence of the Principal and
his family, and the accommodation OF all the
boarding pupils whom parents and guardians
may wish to have placed under the immediate
charge of the Principal 1t is located in a
pleasant and retired part of the town, and in
the vicinity Of respectable families, where
boarding can be had on reasonable terms.
With the view to prevent extravaganza, to
repress the love Of display, and the spirit Of
rivalry in dress, the following uniform has been
prescribed:
For SPRING AND SUMNER
Plain Blue Bingham Dress and sun-bonnet
Of the same, with white or brown linnen apron.
For FALL AND WINTER
Dress of Wooden or Worsted Of any des
cription, Of a solid green color, bonnet of the
same color, with linnen or brown Holland
apron, and thick soled shoes.
Pupils are strictly prohibited from attending
dancing or social parties.
The Trustees are gratifed in announcing,
that with the means at their disposal, they will
be enabled, commencing with the next regular
session, to afford gratuitous instruction to all pu-
pills residents of this county, in the following
3 branches: Spelling, Reading, Writing and ARR
thmetic. Either English Grammar or Geography
| may NC tuuRuL Ill duultlOn ut NJ pei bOSSlOLIS
for each. Ii is to be understood, however, that
if the pupil should be taught any other branch
g es of the higher classes, she. will be charged at
j the full rates of that class 1t has been deemed
expedient to adopt as a rule, that no pupil un-
der the age of six years shall be received for
gratuitous instruction.
The scholastic year consisting of ten months,
will be divided into two sessionso Of five months
each, commencing respectively on the first OF
October and March Of every year. At the
close of the Summer Sess on a public exami-
nation will be held, after which there will be
a vacation during the months Of August and
September. Pupils will be received at any
time, and will only be charged from the time
OF entrances; but after that no charge will be
made for a less time than a Session, unless in
1 case Of continued absence for more than a
month, on account Of sickness or death.
Canton is one Of the healthiest places in the
South during the whole year; and for morality
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
we'll compare with those Of any interior town
in the State.
It is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
to build up and permanently establish an instr
tuition Of the highest order-one which vii
afford gratuItous instruction in the useful anC
solid branches of education, and at the same
time, on moderate terms, al tne auVdntaSes "
be had any where else Of more thorough ant
extended course; thus sparing our people th'
expense and sacrifice Of feeling incurred ii
sending their children abroad. Situated as on
Academy is, in the midst Of a wealthy ant
intelligent population, at a healthy point, con
nected with all the principal places OF tn
State by stage and mail facilities, and con
Quoted by competent teachers, we see n
y good reason why our most sanguine hope
should not be realized. We call on our fellow
y citizens of this and The neighboring counties t
give our Academy a fair trial, and if fOun,
deserving, to sustain an institution here q
: home, where they can watch over the health
comfort and progress of their daughters durin
their course Of MISUNDERSTANDING o%urselve
that no efforts shall be spared to render it woI
IN thy Of patronage.
