cessfully sustained in McCoysHille. Pa,
is solved. That which heretofore was
hope INDUCED. though with many mis-
givings and doubts of success. has now
become an established fact. The select
school which was taught in the base
ment Of the U. P. Church, at the above
place-closing On the Goth Of June-we
a,e happy to learn is about to reopen its
session on the 18th of August, under the
supervision and instruction of Prof. r.
W. Kidd
MIR. Kidd graduated with honor at
Westminster College. in June last. and
to his literary requirements he brings
into the work of public instruction an
experience in teaching of several years
in common school and academy. He has
always born good moral character in
his own community, and has for many
years been justly regarded as constant
and efficient patron of an advanced edu.
cation and we now feel sure he will re
ceive the cordial support and coopera-
ton IF an appreciative community
Already the prospects of the opening
session encourage the belief that the
school will be more largely patronized
than during the former year. We are
not forgetful that the embers left burning
upon the altar of education under the
diligent and euccessful tuition of Prof.
John Laird in the old Pine Hill Semi
nary. are in some measure to be credited
as the instrumentality of crowning with
success our efforts for a select school
during the past year.
This school. during the last year. un-
der the supervision and instruction of
Prof. I. Huggart. gave such general eat
isfaction to the patrons of education in
this community, that they have resolved
20 try it again; and the hope now seems
to be INDUCED that McCoysville, if not
centre. may at least be a patron and trib-
atary agent of an advanced education in
our land
Prot. Kidd proposes to teach the Eng.
lish, Latin and Greek language mental
and written arithmetic. algebra, geometry
and other branches usually taught in
academies and seminaries to fit the pu-
pills for the classes in college; or to pre-
pare them as first class teachers in COM
mon schools. Tuition for any. or all of
these branches Will be three dollars per
month per scholar.
Instruction in piano and organ music
will be given to scholars by Miss Ella
Campbell, a, the rate of $40 90 per "a
lessons. Miss Campbell has already
proved herself to be an efficient instruc-
tress in this accomplishment, and enjoyed
liberal patronage during the last scs-
sion.
