London, August 26. The announce
ment that King Manuel of Portugal is
soon to pay a visit to England and the
intimation that his visit is connected
with his betrothal to Princess Alexan
dra, daughter of the Duke of Fife and
granddaughter of. King Edward, has
had the effect this week of throwing
the great white light of publicity up
on that young lady, who has only re
cently been presented to society. Her
picture today adorns the front page
of many of the weeklies, while the so

her.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT.
The English Course will be taught in a practical manner.
Principles rather than rules will be preferred. We know no
reason why English Grammar should not be made as inter

paying particular attention to analysis and parsing. When
the foundation is properly laid, English will be studied with
great pleasure and profit.

We teach Arithmetic analytically. This causes the stu

LAW DEPARTMENT.
The year in this Department begins with the first Term,
and continues for two Terms of sixteen weeks each.
Requirements for Admission.
The applicants for admission to this Department will be
expected to have a fair education in the Common School
Branches. ,
Methods of Instruction.
The method of instruction will be by the study of text
books, illustrated with the occasional study of cases. The
instructors will expound and explain the text, meeting and
removing the difficulties of the students by examination and
explanation. Illustrative cases will be read and applied.
f Lectures upon the different subjects taught in this course
will be given from time to time either by one of the instruc
tors or by eminent lawyers engaged in the actual practice
or the profession.
Course of Study.
To complete this course will require two years.
First Year. Ewell's Essentials, 3 volumes; Clark on Cor
porations; Sehouler on Executors; Bisham's Equity"; Clark's
Code ox Civil Procedure.
Second Year. Revisal of North Carolina ; Constitution of
North Carolina; Constitution of United States; Bagehot's
English Constitution; Sharswood's Legal Ethics; Shep
pard's Constitutional Text-book; Cooley's Principles of.
Constitutional Law.
EXAMINATIONS.
si Written examinations will be given in all departments of
the School at the close of each term. These examinations,
will be made as thorough as possible.
No student will be permitted to pass any branch of study
until he shall have passed a satisfactory examination upon
the same. We believe that one subject well understood is
better for the student than a great number but partially
mastered. -
LOCATION.
This School is situated in Goldsboro, North Carolina, in
the Law Building, which is located on the corner of John
and Walnut Streets, opposite the National Bank. We re
gard this as an ideal location in an ideal town.
Our town is one of the greatest railroad centers t f the
State, among a people second to none in intelligence, morals,
or that natural goodness of heart that make them so we I
known,
COST.
The cost per Session will not be very great. Our idea is -to
make the tuition charges so reasonable that it will be in
the reach of all who may choose to better their intellectual
condition, - igjtftmmm
We are more anxious to aid those who need our help than
to make the School a great financial success.
