ANDERSON
MALE ACADEMY.
w. ]. LIGON, Principal.

THE property of the Anderson Educa-
tional Association, known as the
University, having been leased to other par
ties beg leave to inform my friends, and
the public generally, that l will open a
School for young men and boys in the City
of Anderson on the 3Oth August next.
Having spent thirty-seven years of my
life exclusively in the biisltless of teaching
--twenty-eight in Andetson County and
nine elsewhere-the fruits of my labors are
we'll known, not only to this people, but
also to many others outside of this County
and in different parts of the State; and it
is therefore, with confident expectation
of liberal support from my former patrons
and others that I offer my services to the
people of Anderson and surrounding coun-
try,
1t is my purpose, by careful and unre.
mitting attention, to teach thoroughly all
the Classical, Mathematical and Scientific
branches usually taught in High Schools
and Academies, and at the same time equal
care and attention will be given to those
engaged in the elementary and less advan-
ced studies using for both classes of stu
dents the latest and most approved Text
Books, and adopting such modern methods
of instruction as have received the endorse
ment of the best educators of our time.
Special attention will be given to the
preparation of students for College, and to
those who are unable, for lack of time or
means, to take Collegiate course, my ear
nest efforts will be given to aid them in
acquiring solid, well-grounded education
which will fit them to discharge creditably
and efficiently all the practical business du-
ties of life. 80
I trust l will be excused if refer With q
pardonable pride, as result Of my lifes
work as an educator, to the large number
of my former students, of both sexes, who
have won the first prize at several rigid
competitive examinations and, also, to the
long list of young men who have achieved
success in the learned professions, and con.
spicuous success in other honorable busl-
ness avocations.
1t is not my intention to antas sonize any
other institution of learning in our City
there is room for all; but by faithful, con-
scientious work, hope to merit and re-
ceive a proportionate share of the public
patronage,
The scholastic year extends from August
3Oth. 1885, to June 3rd, 1887, divided into
two sessions. The first ends Jan. 10Th, 1887
and the second begins on the following
Monday and ends June Srd, 1887. There
will be an intermissfon of one week al
Christmas.
Charges will be made by the session, ano
when student enters school, he WILL be
charged from the day of entrance to the
end of the session in which he enters. NC
deduction will be made for loss of time, ex-
cept in cases of long, protracted illness.
Tuition fees must be paid promptly al
the end OF each month, Or satisfactory
arrangement made with regard to them
No student greatly in arrears will be al
lowed to continue in the school. Teaching
is the business by which gain liveli:
hood, and it is as reasonable that l shoulo
require prompt payment for my work Wher
il is done as any other laborer in any othel
work. The merchant can give long credit
but he always charges proportionateiJ
higher prices. The rates offer are strictly
cash-payable monthly.
Tuition fees will be sl200, $1,000 ant
$40. 90 per session, according to the studie'
pursued by the student. Contingent te
| fifty cents per session, to cover inc:dentals
Arrangements have been made by which
students can be boarded at reasonable price
in the City.
Students of my School, boarding at an!
place, will be responsible to me for thel
conduct.
Further information with regard t!
nv School will be cheerfully furnished
Don't hesitate to apply for it.
