MALE SEMINARY.

HNHIS Institution will commence lts otn ses-
i sion on the 9th instant under the superlnten-
dence of S. L. Slack, A. M. The trustees take
pleasure in announcing that they have perfected
an arrangement with Prof Slack, by which,
while his attention will still be given; as hereto
fore, to the Female department, he VIII also De
stow a portion of his time upon the duties OF the
Male branch of the Seminary. They would,
therefore in full confidence that the present ar
rangement will meet the wants OF the commune
ty present the claims of the Institution to the
favorable consideration of all, with the assurance
that every facility will here be given for the ac-
QUESTION of thorough classical mathematical, and
business education. The prices will remain as,
heretofore.
S. T. SANDERS, Secretary.
In entering upon the duties belonging to the
superintendency of the Male department of this
Institution would inform the public, that 1t is
not my design to neglect IN any particular, the
interests of the Female school with which have
been so long connected. The two departments
will continue as heretofore, entirely distinct and
separate but the thorough instruction OF the pupils
of both will receive my constant and unremitting
attention, aided by corps of faithful and COM
petent teachers. have engaged the services OF
Mr. James A. Johnson, in the Male department
and will add to the number of teachers as the
interest and wants of the school may require. 1t
is the wish OF the board, as well as my own, that
a Classical and Mathematical school OF no mean
rank should be established and no effort will be
spared to render it altogether worthy of the sup
port of an intelligent community. The course
of study will be full and complete, embracing the
entire range of English studies, the Latin, Greek,
and French languages,-the Natural Sciences
illustrated and explained by lectures and exper-
lments,-and Mathematics in all its branches
pure and mixed including special attention to the
science of Ciua Engineering. In assuming the
additional and heavy responsibilities OF this
double position, would respectfully urge upon
the parents and friends who desire to avail them
selves of the advantages thus offered, that their
cheerful cooperation be given in sustaining the
regulations of study and discipline, and thereby
promoting the interests of the Institution. The
government of the school will be kind and pa
ternal, but firm and decided, enforcing attention
to duty by every consideration that can be pre-
sented to the youthful mind. 1t is recommended
that pupils coming from distance should board
at the house of Mr.. Smith, who has been ap-
pointed the Steward, where the regulations as to
study and department may be enforced, and the
pupils be under the immediate control of the
teachers. 1t will also be understood that when
pupils are once entered, no deduction will be
made for the session. except in cases fprotracted
illness.
