For Terms and Cards of Address, apply to the Printer of this Paper. Would you, O Stranger, ascertain the rule That guides, directs, and animates this School, Know that by study, and attention mute We raise the tree of' learning from its root j Anxious a good foundation to implant, That fruits of wisdom, we may never want. Into four Classes we are all arranged, By merit only, are our places changed To Class of higher grade,—yet still observe j ’Tis as Magister finds that we deserve; On yonder forms, our young disciples vie With one another, in Orthography, The Figures formed, the Alphabet defined; These rudiments of learning are designed To clear tbe ground, and pave the way to pass With satisfaction to an upper Class. Again,—remark the furthest desk, ’tis there Geometry is learnt, and facts from Blair, Tbe Scripture Writers , and the English Kings , The Weights, and many other useful things, The Art of Penmanship , and casting Sums ; Learnt, as their known appointed season comes. The First Class, occupies these nearest forms; And here, each Pupil steadily performs His various tasks and duties, ail designed To cultivate, enrich, and store his mind With sound religions principles; and prove Deserving of his Friends’esteem and love. Here, Latin Classics and the French are taught; There, Scenes from Ancient Greece, and Rome, are brought By Mangnalls ‘ Questions , into d aily view 5 And thus, our Studies, are profound and new. Some practice Short Hand, and the rest Recite, And by Dictation, learn to spell aright: Maps and Geography we understand, With Towns and Counties, of our native land; The States, and History of Europe, too — Are read,and learnt with care, completely through. Each mom, before a Lesson has been said, A chapter from the Word of God is read; On afternoons, we Cipher, and we Write, We’re taught to reckon fust, and reckon right', On Thursday mornings, the First Class Composet And, as the week is drawing to a close, We all, are made to Recapitulate, The studies, marked upon Magisteis slate. Nor, are there motives wanting to excite, Our diligence aud zeal, in what is right; B.ewurds of merit, are held out for those Who, ( when the stated term, has reached its close) Shall number most, of Tickets, red Or gold , After their numbers, have been fairly told. Whilst merit earns these Tickets, yet too true, •. For faults and negligence, wo lose them too, Magister to us all, would be a Friend, And ever to our happiness attend ; '• But then, of course, he wishes us to see. The worth of Study, and Propriety.
