SKEY HAVING been engaged for nearly Twenty years in the Education of Youth,{intends to Open a School on Monday next, the 22nd April, at his Residence, Official Bay, Auckland. He has received many honorable testimonials from the Parents of his former Pupils, and is permitted to make highly respectable references. Jfor Terms and Cards of Address, cpply to the Printer of this Paper. Would you, O Stranger, ascert in the role That guides, directs, and animates this School, Know that by stitty, and attention mute We raise the tree of learning from its root; Anxious a good Inundation to implant, That fruits of wisdom, we may never want. Into four Classes we areiall arrauged, By merit only, are our places changed To Class of higher grade,—yet still observe; ’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 the ground, and pave the way to pass With satisfaction to an upper Class. Again,—remark the furthest desk, ’tis there Geometry \s learnt, and facts from Blair, The Scripture Writers, and the English Kings, The Weights, aud 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, all designed To cultivate, enrich, and store his mind With sound religious principles; and prove Deserving of his Friends’ esteem and love. Here, Latin Classics and the French are taught: There, Scenes fiom Ancient Greece, and Rome, are brought By Mangnalls Questions, into daily view; 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, aud learnt with care, completely through. Each mom, before a Lesson has been said, A chapter from the Word of God is read; On altemootis, we Cipher, and we Write, We’re taught to reckon fast, an d reckon right ; On Thursday mornings, the First Class Compose: And, as the week is drawing to a close, We all, are made to Recapitulate, The studies, marked upon Magisters slate. Nor, are there motives wanting to excite, Our diligence aud zeal, in what is right ; Rewards of merit, are held out for those . Who, ('when the stated term, has reached its close) Shall tiumber 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, jYagister to us all, would be a Friend, >vhd ever to our happiness attend , 2j ut then, of course, he wishes us to Bee, The worth of Study, and Propriety.
