Intelligence and Miscellanies. 387 



that, those students, who have been sufficiently long in a 

 course of education, and have made the requisite attainments, 

 will be permitted to attend the course of Lectures on Chem- 

 istry, Mineralogy, and Geology, by Professor Silliman ; and 

 the course on Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, by Profes- 

 sor Olmsted. 



The religious instruction of the pupils will be parental. 

 The great aim will be to train them up in the fear of God. 

 Each day will begin and end with reading the scriptures and 

 prayer. The Bible will be a class-book on the sabbath ; and 

 the pupils will attend church at the place designated by their 

 parents. 



This is our general plan : we shall aim to execute it with 

 fidelity ; reserving, however, the right of making such altera- 

 tions as experience shall show to be necessary. With the 

 subject of education, we are not wholly unacquainted. One 

 of us has been occupied for a considerable period, in a course 

 of collegiate instruction. Both of us have had the privilege 

 of surveying many of the principal seminaries of Europe ; 

 and one of us, during a long residence in Germany, has exa- 

 mined, with the utmost attention and care, the system of ed- 

 ucation pursued in several of her Universities, and in her Aca- 

 demic and Commercial Gymnasia. 



There will be two vacations in the year, each of three 

 weeks ; the first to commence on the first Wednesday of 

 May ; the other on the second Wednesday of September. 

 During both, the boys may remain at the school without ad- 

 ditional expense. 



We shall have a valuable library of the best authors in 

 English, Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, and German. 



The annual charge for boys of ten years and over is three 

 hundred dollars ; but a deduction will be made where two or 

 more come from one family, at the same time. The charge 

 for boys under ten is two hundred and fifty dollars. In this sum 

 are comprized all charges for instruction, including the tickets 

 for the college lectures, board, washing and mending, room, fu- 

 el, lights, and furniture, except a bed or mattress, and bed- 

 clothing, to be furnished by the pupil. These may be procured 

 on the spot, at a fair price. Where it is wished, the cloth- 

 ing of the boys can be procured by us, and on terms advan- 

 tageous to the parent. 



It is intended to open the institution on the 1st of May,
