XTOTICE is respectfully given, that a
x Public EXAMINATION, in tiie
Quanky Academy is to commence on
the 23d of July next, and to be continu
ed that day and the two following, dur
ing the usual school hours and that 1
A Rhetorical Exhibition,
Is to take place on Thursday the 26th,
to begin at 9 o'clock, A. M.
On Monday the lower, and. on Tues
day the higher branches of English edu
cation are to undergo examination
and, on Wednesday, mathematicks, phi
losophy, and the languages. Previous
to the Exhibition, or on Thursday morn
ing, will be read the respective merits
or demerits of the scholars, as evinced
from the Examination; also, a report of
conduct and progress during the whole
of the preceding session, or the result of
wceklv notices nn
f ch individuals standing. Honors
ana" Premiums, then, to be conferred on
scholars who have especially distin-
S,,,snc" themselves.
'P . -i n .
ro the above Exercises the Trustees!
and Principal solicit the attendance of
the Parents and Guardians of the youth
committed to their care, and of other
gentlemen and ladies friendly to the pro -
motion of literature.
Our Institution first went into opera-
tion in January last with about twenty
scholars, and has since increased its
number to upwards of forty. Previous
experience on the plan of Mutual In
struction, or that of the Monitorial and
Lancastrian combined as circumstances
required, connected with the facilities
afforded by having a uniformitjT of the
most approved school books, have ena
bled the Principal, the Rev. Sidney
J Feller, A. M. to conduct the School
himself, with no
of his scholars. Should any, not ac
quainted with the above plan, doubt the
facility which it affords an individual for
teaching a large number advantageously,
let them not hastily decide against (what
is thought by many whose opinions are
entitled to deference) an improvement
in education; but as one means of get
ting light on the subject, let them attend
the coming Examination and judge for
themselves from the effect of the plan.
The next term (to continue about four
months) is lo open after a recess of a
few days, or on Mondav, the 5th of Au
gust. RICE B. PIERCE,

N. B. As there is a prospect of a
further accession to the School next ses
sion, therefore, in order to lighten the
task of the Principal, a suitable compen
sation would be made to some young
man, coming well recommended as to
morals, who might be qualified as
JIN ASSISTANT,
And who might wish to improve him
self in study, and as a teacher on the
above named plan of Mutual Instruc
tion. THE TRUSTEES.
