Already have several pupils applied for
admission, from the neighboring townships,
counties, and States, thus giving evidence, if
any were needed, of the excellency of our
Schools. All that have applied have been
taken and here, for the benefit of our
readers, other than in the city, we will state
the prices of tuition in the different grades
High School, per quarter.........S6,0 90
Grammar School, per quarter...... 400
intermediate School, per quarter. 800
! Primary School, per quarter.--.... 200
Boarding can be obtained in our city from
$500 TO $500 per week, aud VIC know, that
look where you may, you cannot find so
thorough a system of education. II is true
that the non essentials are neglected, but the
essentials are kept always in view. Will not
our citizens make it their duty to visit the
schools frequently during the year, and thus
encourage child and teacher. Our Commercial
College, too, ought not to be lost sight of. \
better one it is difficult to find and young
men can here get that part OF education so
essential to the merchant, mechanic, and
farmer. Young men who attend either the
free or commercial schools, have three Ii.
braries, from which they can obtain the best
works of the day, and if not free the charge
is so nominal that for so great boon it is
mere nothing.
We have heard that Mr. Behm intends to
take class of young ladies, and teach :hem
the art OF bookkeeping. We do not know
but the Principal of this college would get
some one Of the class SO far as compound
partnership and there keep her; the balance
of the class could, however, finish the
course
