THE OOLOGIST's DIRFXTORY. 
19 
The Granville Military Academy ten years ago became 
the successor of the North Granville Seminary. The school was 
incorporated in 1855 by the Regents of the University of the 
State of New York, and the buildings were soon filled to their 
utmost capacity. In 1871, the old buildings were destroyed by 
fire. In 1872-3, after an earnest effort to secure the best plans, 
the present very beautiful and commodious buildings were 
erected. 
The entire building is warmed with Gold's steam apparatus 
and has water in abundance on every floor. It is confidently 
believed that few school buildings are so admirably planned, and 
in all their appointments so attractive. The entire investment 
in grounds, buildings, furniture, library and apparatus, exceeds 
;$6o,ooo. 
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. 
The whole plan of study occupies four years, and includes a 
Classical, an English and a Commercial course. The first pre- 
pares, in the most thorough manner, for admission to any Ameri- 
can College; the second includes an extended course in mathemat- 
ics, the Natural Sciences, English Language and Literature; and 
the last gives a faithful preparation for business (including Book- 
keeping by double entry. Commercial Penmanship, Arithmetic, 
Commercial Law and Telegraphy), equal to that offered at the 
best business colleges, with the added benefits of wholesome 
discipline, and constant and careful supervision.
