For Boys and Young Men.
Grove Luhe, Mizsn

This school was established by the
undersigned after an experience Of over
| fourteen years connection with inst-i-
tutions of the highest order Of learn
ing, to meet a want Of our time and
country. It is an entire departure
from the old system. Young men can
no longer spend years and small for
tune LII acquiring an education which
by proper system of instruction and,
| a judicious division Of studies, can be
acquired in a short time. 1t is inten-
ded for young men who shall consider
that slime is money!" where they can
get "value received" Young men can
receive good education in five months,
such as could not be impaired in two
years in other institutions: This is
owing to the peculiarly of the system
pursued, and the time given to study.
We take only limited number. We
have no classes; each young man
studies what he needs most, and does
hot enter classes with others, but
receives individual attention. The
talented can ego ahead" The young
man who did not have early advantages
is helped on, and receives private les
sons.
There is no school in the State
working on such system, hence no
school can do as much for boys and
Young men. Instructions every week
in letter writing. What desirable
thing for young man to be able to
write good letter Exercises i'll
public speaking once week. Writ en
examinations every Saturday on the
WEEKS work, and the standing in merit
In the various studies which the
student pursues given to the public in
monthly bulletins. Every Saturday
evening Instructions are given in social
etiquette There is a Literary Society
for seif-imp"e vcment, to which each
Student must belong. It's exercises
are composed Of select readings, com
positions, essays, dc.
The School has succeeded in its
object beyond all expectations. Bust
ness commences at 6 o'clock A. Nj.
and ends at s IL =. NJ, including the
necessary time for recreation and
gymnastic exercises. The school is
removed from the distractions and
temptations Of town schools, beng
situated in most beautiful part of the
country, fourteen miles from Sank
Centre, Il town on the branch line of
the st. Paul & Pacific Railroad. The
grand distinctive feature Of this School
is that a young mans time is always
employed, that he is not obliged to
wait for others, that he studies all he is
able alone, according to his age and
capacity.
The buildings are spacious, and well
adapted to the end in view. The ex-
pense is moderate, within the reach of
all. A young man knows exactly
what he has to pay. The whole ex-
pense for one tenn of FIVE months
including tuition, board, washing,
mending, bed and bedding = is $50.
In case a Student does not find the
School all that it is recommended to
be, he can, alter one month, have the
balance Of his money returned to him.
The School is under the supervision
of a committee of learned gentlemen
from sank Centre, to whom ] re-
spectfully refer:
