This is a Select School, established by and un-
der the independent control of the Principal, who
has had a successful experience gilmore than twent
ty years duration in the education and 90 vernmen-
of Southern Boys. The Academy has been
recently erected on his own Lot, in a quiet and
retired portion of the village. and surrounded by
a handsome grove. The ScIool-room is spacious
airy and comfortable.
In the Select Classical and Mathematical
School, Boys are taught to THINK, and are fur
nished with the best means tor prosecuting their
studies. The memory is cultivated, but not at
the expense of the solid faculties of the mind
The understanding is enlightened and the reason
! improved by mental discipline and boys are
y taught to rely chiefly upon their own powers for
improvement and success in scholarship. They
/ are required MOrouqhy to comprehend and,
4 when necessary, satisfactorily to explain what
: they recite. The training is calculated to make
them understand the principles Of the various
branches OF science which they study, and to
qualify them for severer and moe elevated du-
ties. In fine, the foundation is made strong and
> s%teadfast, as upon this must rest the entire super
. structure of their education. Boys are fitted for
the higher classes of any College in the Union
d or for the useful pursuits oflife.
