Individual instruction,
FOR BOTH SEXES.
Students Taught individually
Instead of in Classes.

The success of this method wherever
pursued has fully demonstrated its supe
rior advantages. The plan is universally
approved by intelligent well-educated
business men, many OF whom have long
deplored the artificial arbitrary system
which has been forced upon SO many
schools. Each pupil is put upon an in
dependent standing and the quickest in
tellects often complete the course of stu
DIV in half the average time.
While suitable for all students this
school is specially adapted:
lst. For unusually rapid learners, for
whom the average rate Of class progress
is too slow, involving waste of time, tai
ents and money.
3D. For those who wish to take only
certain studies.
Sd. For normal instruction and partic-
ularly for those who wish to review before
passing examination for teachers certifi-
Gates.
4th. For adults who wish to renew any
of their school-day studies, or take special
branches
5th For szo7v learners who are often
discouraged, or driven from school by
vain attempts to keep up with classes.
Properly taught these often develop into
superior students.
9th. For Pupils tn poor health who are
often necessarily irregular in attendance
and are hence for two reasons unable to
keep pace with class of healthy pupils
Special advantages Of this School,
lst Each learner takes only such stu
dies as he or his friends select, whether
one or more; advances according to his
own talent and application, without any
kind of hindrance from classmates; and,
as soon as one study is COMPLETED is passed
into another without waiting for others.
! If. for sickness or other cause, his studies
are interrupted, he resumes where he
left off, instead of skipping over lessons
unlearned in order to keep up with the
class"
3D. Teachers, instead Of spending their
| whole time in clearing recitations" Zen
| curing what pupils have learned OF Them
selves, or, at the cost of the time OF the
zvAole class, making explanation only
needed by the idle or stupid few spend
| far the greater part of their time in teacA-
| 1ug-passing from desk to desk to help
| wherever needed = without taking the
| time of others, thus saving the students
time in the best hours Of the day. The
| direct mental contact Of teacher and student
in individual teaching makes explanations
easy and inspiring and what is more i'm
| portant ,..results in teaching the pupil hon
to study.
Sd. Whenever the class method can be
employed to advantage it will be resorted
! to.
| Persons intending to avail themselves
! of the advantages of this school are re-
quested to communicate with the Princi-
pal as soon as possible, stating the course
of study they intend to pursue, in order
that necessary arrangements may be
| made. Quite number ofeducators stand
| ready to assist in the work, feeling assur-
| ed OF its permanent success in this field.
Board or rooms will be procured at
reasonable rates, and further particulars
as to courses of study intructors' sessions,
| terms, ETC., can be procured by addressing
