The Schoolhouse is so constructed as to afford ample accommodation for 70 or 80 Children, and is allowed by competent judges to be a most suitable site for its required purpose. Parents desirous of sending their children to this School are requested to make known the number they may each purpose sending, either to T. J. White, Esq., or James Blacklock, Esq., merchants, or to Mr. C. S. D. in person, as soon as is convenient. Mr. C. S. I). also begs to acquaint the public that as he does not receive any assistance whatever from the Board of Education, it remains for him eagerly to solicit the patronage of Parents who have children, who, though they be daily increasing in growth, yet are hourly decreasing in their first requirements for a profession or trade. At the sanietime he begs to assure those Parents that nothing shall be omitted by him in endeavouring to° gain not only their good esteem, but also that first and most essential point in every master— namely, the love, gratitude, and, finally, the respect of all their young ones entrusted to his trainin", always bearing strictly in mind the purpose for which they are so entrusted, and carefully guarding against the least encouragement of those vices which are but too prominent in the minds of most young people. Until further notice, this School will only consist of Daily Scholars. All the required Books will be supplied by the Proprietor at the lowest cost price. Dancing, in all its latest improvements, will also be taught to those dewrous of learning it. ~~ — — -~ — . — — PUBLIC NOTrCE.
