Should youth of ir regular, immoral, or Idissolute habits be found at anytime, connected with this school, un less they speedily reform, an early dismission will be the invariablfe consequence. -7 Without entering nto further details, the preceding exhibits" Jthe general features of the proposed school. It is the wish of the subscriber, to furnish the public on a limited scale, not with a shdwy, but a useful institu tion; one, which, bping reduced to th sim ple character: of a tteparatory Professorship, and freed from the distractions and draw backs incident to more extended plans of in struction; will, it is wiped, tend in some de gree, to promote th: interests of solid learning- A portion of public patronage is there fore respectfully solicited. It is not promis ed, nor need it be expected, that the pupils of this school Will be prepared with any unu sual despatch, for their Collegiate course. Too much haste, without doubt, is the grand defect of the present preparatory, system. No circumstance cap be more alarming to the literary j iriteresw of any country than a rage for entering Collegef with the least possible, or allowable amount of preparation. It has long been thejopinion of competent judges, that to ' lay the foundation 'of . a good education, requires much tim4, and a patient persever ing application ,1 ; , Parents and Guardians are moreover re minded that it is one thing for a boy to have within his reach,, the means of .acquiring an extensive and, finished education ; and ano ther thing, for him 10 have the talents, incli nation and zeal, sufficient to induce him to a yail himself of his Ijiappy advantages : After all that can be eftected by proper discipline, arid the most laborious and persevering exer tions, the fond expectations of Parents and Guardians will 1 sometimes . be disappointed. In such cases too, the blame, not unfrequent lv. falls where it du&ht not. But the well qualified and prudent instructor, will always find his surest reward in the consciousness of having honestly endeavored to discharge his duty. j i,-- -v !'':", : r-7-;V'.:i '.'"' -.-,7 A i 1 W.
