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

TNHE property of the Anderson Educa-
tional Association, known as the
University, having been leased to other par,
ties, I beg leave to inform my friends, and
the public generally, that l will open
School for Young men and boys in the City
of Anderson on the 3OLh August next.
Having spent thirty-seven years of my
life exclusively in the business of teaching
-twenty-eight in Anderson County and
nine elsewhere-thc 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-
1t is my purpose, by careful and unree,,
mitting attention, to teach thoroughly al
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
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.
I trust will be excused if ! refer with a
pardonable pride, as o result of my lifes
work as an educator, to the large number
of nv 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.
It is not my intention to antagonize 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 proportionate share of the public
patronage.
The scholastic year extends from August
3Oth. 1856, 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 3rd, 1887. There
will be an intermission of one week at
Christmas.
Charges will be made by the session, and
when student enters school, he will be
charged from the day of entrance to the
end of the session in which he enters. No
deduction will be made for loss of time, cx-
cept in cases of long, protracted illness.
Tuition fees must be paid promptly at
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 I gain live!i,
hood, and it is as reasonable that should
require prompt payment for my work when
il is done as any other laborerin any other
work. The merchant can give long credit,
but he always charges proportionateiy
higher prices. The rates offer are strictly
cash-payable monthly.
Tuition fees will be Sl2 90, $1,000 and
$50. 90 per session, according to the studies
pursued by the student. Contingent fee
fifty cents per session, to cover incidentals.
Arrangements have been made by which
students can be boarded at reasonable prices
in the City.
Students of my School, boarding at any
place, will be responsible to me for their
conduct.
Further information with regard to
my School will be cheerfully furnished.
Don't hesitate to apply for it.
