The Thirty Fourth Annual Session Of st.
Johns Academy will begin September I'd, 1872.
The course of instruction is that of high school,

it affords as practicnt an education as any re-
ilccting man can desire for his sons, though 9TH
or subjects than bookkeeping and arithmetic
receive some attention. The short drill, under
arms, which precedes each daily session, having
been found most advantageous both to the health
of the students and the discipline of the school,
all who are not physically disqualified are re-
CURED to participate in it; though, as no stu
dent is expected 70 uniform until he needs new
clothing, there is no additional expense incur
red. TIE school is provided with fine set of

strumcntS, and has an extensive Cabinet of Min
erals, and School Library of thousand vol
umcs.
