THIS Institution of Learning was opened I'M
der most encouraging auspices on the 18th Janu-
airy, 1859. 1t is proposed to make it q thorough
and practical Gymnasium for training the Physi.
cal, Intellectual and Moral powers of the Pupils.
Upon ats success an this 1T expects to reIy for
all ats Patronage. 1t is under the control of no
particular church. The Teachers belong to diff
ferent Denominations and are selected on account
of their fitness for the posts they occupy, without
regard 20 their ecclesiastical connections.
Professor RADCLIFFE, a graduate of the South
Carolina Military Academy, has charge of the
Male Department. In addition to the English,
Mathematical and Classical branches, the Pupils
have the advantage of the Infantry drill of Mill
tary Academies. To secure interest and success
in this, we have an ample supply of Cadet Mus
kets. The uniform of the corps is neat, plain and
cheap. It is furnished at the Institution as near
ly at first cost as practicable. Pupils need only
bring their usual wearing apparel. The uniform
aids in securing discipline and preventing extrav,
agance. The Drill does not interfere with the
studies. 1t is an excellent discipline furnished
our pupils after school hours, without extra
charge for tuition or use of muskets.
Professor O'BEIRNE received his degree from
Cambridge University, England, and has had expe-
rienca in training hoys and vounO man in Eurnne
and America. As thorough a classical course
can be pursued in this School as in any College.
