The undersigned, now Principal of the Charles
town Academy, Jefferson county, w: Va, be-
ing under the necessity of making such changes
in his present residence as will involve con-
siderable expense to meet the increasing de-
mands of his school. has had suggested to him
and proposes to remove his school to STAUN-
TON, if sufficient local patronagecan be assured
to him. While greatly encouraged in his present
location, he realizes the increased advantages
of Stanton as an educational centre, and the
better opportunities for the successful prose-
c9tion OF his efforts with Inc aaaea lneentiXe

ginia, he claims fitness for his work in thor
ough preparation and in the dilligent and sue
cessful prosecution of the profession thro a
period Of twenty years. He proposes to estab-
fish a first-class preparatory school for boys,
thorough in all its departments. not only toifit
boys for our Universities, but to meet the
growing and imperative demand for the accur-

careful attention has been given to instruction
the school has large and we'll selected colec-
ton of apparatus. and in addition to the usual
appliances for instruction in general Chemistry,
all the apparatus such analytical balances,
reagents, &C., for complete laboratory work.
The success which has attended the use OF the
orally ignored in schools, has convinced him of
| their value in the school curriculum, and finds
! its endorsement in the strongly expressed
opinions Of some of the best thinkers and
writers upon the subject of education in this

erals, selected by one of the best mlneralogists
in Philadelphia with special reference to school
work.
In the discipline of the school he proposes to

result in permanent good to the pupils and
unquestioning obedience of the pupil to the

suppression of any habits which may tend t to
attainment of the best success of which he is

unremitting effort to establish the kindest and

My Dear Sir:-My first information of the eff
fort to have your school removed to Staunton
| comes in your letter of the 22d inst, just re-
ceived here. AS your friends suggest, that city
| is an educational centre and presents, undoubt-
edly, a wider and broader field of usefulness to
to one SO fitted to occupy it. as believe you to
the methods which you have so conscientiously
employed at Charlestown, that am sure the
measure of your success, there, must be greatly
increased under conditions SO favorable as
would surround you at Staunton. AS to your
not place them upon testimony Witch
| sincere, would be as valueless as mine. Your
| modesty may not have admitted the fact to
yourself but am entirely sure your reputation
for both is too we'll established, throughout both
Virginias, to need testimonial or assurance from
any quarter. l shall share, with many, regret
that you go from our immediate region, but l
cannot deny the necessity which drives so many
