A reduction of 10 per cent, on any of the higher rates above specified where more than one member of the same family is sent at the same time.

The Proprietors of this Institution cannot but express their satisfaction at the interest which a large section of the intelligent public has manifested in its progress and welfare, and tender warm thanks to their numerous supporters and friends. At the same time they take this opportunity of soliciting the continuance of their cooperation, and more especially for the following reasons : — 1. The Institution having been founded purely for educational and not for commercial purposes, needs public favour to prevent its becoming a serious burden to its original tors. As a pecuniary speculation it is not encouraging, but should it be deemed still to deserve, and therefore be permitted still ! to enjoy generous and extensive support, , its proprietors will not be distressed by any fears arising from its necessarily large outlay ; and some large proportion of the youth connected with the middle and higher classes of the colony will, it is hoped, be moved to choose, and qualified to attain, intellectual and moral excellence. 2. The course of study will therefore bo constantly SO modified as to square with the actual exigency of the times. As the object of the school is educational efficiency, each class has its own teacher— an arrangement which adds greatly to the cost, but as greatly to the success of such an institution. And, lastly, every effort will be made to adapt the terms to the convenience of those whose patronage we desire and need. The present scale will be found reduced in almost all its items. The domestic arrangements are designed to suit the habits and tastes of respectable families — so far as they can be adapted to the health and comfort of all alike. On these and other j grounds we cherish the expectation of a ' prosperous year. Our prospects were never so animating, and, without desiring to depreciate other schools^or to seize their territory, we shall strenuously attempt some i notable contribution to the intelligent and I Christian education of the youth in this ! Colony. ! (Signed on behalf of the Committee.) Joseph Horneu. Fletcher N.B. — The next term will beginfon Monday, January I9th. Pupils should be on the premises by 9, a.m. Auckland, 6th January, 1852.
