CLASSICAL SCHOOL.
rEyEIE subscriber will open school for instruction

VyHE, subscriber will open school for instruction
Il in the classics, sciences and modern languages,
at Tiuklinq Spring Church, Augusta, on wed,
nesday the first of September next. This school
is intended chiefly for the improyementot tine youth
of his charee but scholars from distance VIII De
boarded either in the family Of the subscriber OF IN
other respectable and christian families near the
school. The course Of instruction will embrace all
that is usually taught in Academies OF the hlgiest
class. The school will be brought habltually
under christian influence; and prayer and the
Study of the Scriptures will be part of its daily
exercises. , . "a,
=, The Subscriber may be permitted to say with
regard to his fitness for the office of teacher that
besides the usual professional education ofthe Pres
byterian ministry, the nature Of which is well
known to the public, he received a course of in
structioh at Hampden Sidney. College, and also
took the highest degree in the University of vtr-
einiarrithat Of Master of Arts-and has had four
years experience in the business of instruction, as
teacher Of classical School. Numerous references
Of the highest responsibility might; be gwen a,
nong the Professors of our learned lnstltaons and
the gentlemen who were pleased when ne was
formerly engaged in;teaching, to express ting high
est qualification with his success in the manage
ment of their sons and wards. But the subscriber
believes that this is wholly unnecessary.
The terms will be lower than is usual in schools
Of this grade because the chief object of the enter
prise is not pecuniary advantage but the promotion
of liberal christian education. The tuition will be
in every case $50 for the term of ten months. and
board may be obtained in the best. families OF the
neighborhood at about So, per month, both to be
paid semi-annually. No scholar will be received
for less than five months The months of July and
Auruct will he a vacation.
