' PisiNun»Ai..Cr,KMKNT L.WIGGINS, , Assisted by thoroughly efficient ( iM asters. Mil C. Ti. WIGGINS begs to announce that his now, spacious, and thoroughly commodious House and School have been handed over to liim by tlie contMotor, and lie is now prepared to receive a larger number of Pupils than heretofore. The "experience gained during the last tweh-e years in ie idling and the management of boys has enabled him to understand thoroughly all the requirements of such an institution, and as no expense has, been spared in any detail, he believes that ho can undoubtedly oiler unusual advantages. The Class-rooms ate large and of fine proportions, well lighted and ventilated, while the Dormitories and Lavatory combine complete comfort and convenience. The Play-ground consists of several acres surrounding the College, and a Gymnasium will be creeled shortly. The College is within a few minutes walk of the beach, which affords safe and convenient, bathing. The salubrity of Sumner is unrivalled, and its central situation renders it eminently suitable for a Boarding Establishment. There is communication by coach with Christchurch dai.y, and when the tramway has been completed there will be still greater facilities. The dietary is liberal and abundant, and tho domestic arrangements being under • tbe constant personal supervision of Mrs i Wiggins, all the comforts of home are i confidently assured to the Boarders. I Punctuality and order are strictly en- ; forced in all scholastic arrangements, and : every care is taken to promote gentle ? manly deportment both in the school and ; outer life. I An exact system of fortnightly cxami- - nations and periodical reports has been arranged, which cannot fail to supply i parents with accurate information as to F Ihe progress made by their sons in every [' branch of their studies. This Mr Wiggins r has long regarded as a desideratum. I The scheme of studies p-irsued in the 3 College comprises all the various branches < of a thorough English, Classical, ami Mera cantile Education, a good, sound, adequate knowledge of English being made to form ] the basis of the whole. ,' "TRIMS. t For pupils under Twelve years of rge, 1 50 guineas per annum.
