THE FOLLOWING IS THE PLAN OF THIS SCHOOL,

THE BASIS OF WHICH IS EMULATION AND REWARD.

All who will, may send their Children, and have them educated, Freely; (the Expence of WritingBooks excepted ;) and those to whom the above Offer may not prove acceptable, may pay for them at a very moderate Price.

This School is not established to promote the Religious Principles of any particular Sect; but, setting aside all party distinctions, its object is to instruct Youth in useful Learning, in the leading and uncontroverted principles of Christianity, and to train them in the practice of moral habits, conducive to their future welfare, as virtuous men and useful members of society.

SUBSCRIPTION

FOR TRAINING YOUTH AS SCHOOLMASTERS.

The Design of this Subscription is to provide a Fund for the Maintenance of young Men disposed to follow the Profession of Schoolmasters, for which they are to be qualified, by making them practically conversant in the new System of Education; this will be done in J. L.'s Institution, and under his own immediate Care. When this Object is attained, they will be recommended to Situations for which Schoolmasters may be wanted. If the Subscription proves sufficiently liberal, they will be

qualified to teach some Work of industry; as Shoemaking, Tayloring, Basket-making, &c. to the Children whom they may have under their Care.

The following quotation may be worthy the reader's attention:- "By way of sport, or to try the dexterity of the pupils, the master leads them to a clump of trees, and, while he is counting fifteen, every one must climb up some tree, so high, as tó be out of the reach of his cane; all exert themselves, with much laughter, to escape the stick, as if some wild beast were at their heels; if any one be defective in agility, he will be reached, and receive the penance of a few playful strokes.-Sallzmann's Gymnastics for Youth, page 225.

These playful strokes, from a companion or an equal, would most likely produce a tough battle, and black eyes; but from a master, a beating, we read, is taken very pleasantly. The effects of approbation,
