recommendation to our School that il places boys
and girls in such relation to each other to afford
opportunity for the most refined emulation in earrf-
| ing and manners.
I. DISCIPLINE. This is 10 be firm, but mild and
uniform. We desire no pupil who is not disposed
to yield ready and cheerful obedience to the in-
ternal and external regulations Of School. The
discipline respects these three circumstances: 1,
Attendance; 2, Conduct; 3, Scholarship. Daily
records Of these are kept. Students who become
refractory even Indifferent TO their daily record,
are quietly dismissed. Both for teachers and pu-
pills, our motto will be that Of a celebrated En-
glish school, Dbce, Dice aut Discede. - sTeach,

portant pieces Of Philosophic Apparatus, and with

servation in the problems of Spherical Astronomy,
such as Time, Latitude, Longitude, Echpses, &c
