THE UOWOkl. SCHOOL,

Al Ike Ualrisnrl far Jahkaf •■•'•) Mpiing., near ka
lew, % a.
THE SCHOOL founded by the subscriber a
Liberty, will, on the first of Alsrch, betrsns
lerred to the rery pleasant Watering place, original
ly established bv hm uncle, Mr. Charles Johnston
I and lately kept hy Mr. Daggs
The quietness and beauty ol ths place; tlis ele
, gancc and extent of its accommodations ; the bene
fit for the young, of its excellent Mineral Waters
the fertility of the region ; the fineness of the Sce
nery around ; the command which the Situation af
forila, ol Walks, Shades. Gardens, green Fields—
of whatever makes the country fittest to breed up the
voting III—adapt this place so singularly lor an
l.Ktablltihinout of Educatioii, that the «ub
ecTiber has been induced to purchase the property, in
order to devote it permanently to that exclusive pur
pose.
Experience has shown him that,in the difficult work
of giving an Education, such as Education should be
—high and pure, every influence capable ol aiding
in an elevaied result must be courted : that, fur this
purpose. Situation is an agent sure Co woik ureut
iiooi! or decisive ill : ih.it the Associations which
you bring to act on tho young—the circumstances,
the habits, tho very objects of external Nature, with
which you surround them, enter Inin the Education,
alone with the studies, and either powerfully assist,
01 perhaps totally d* feat them: that to breed up
girls to any thing solid in Knowledge or coned in
Manners is impossible, in situations whcie a perm
cious Indulgence offers them the ruinous delights o(
mixed Society, (it only to spoil the very young, as
they spoil it : that not only the access of Company,
but its distant sight,or even the notion that it is at hand,
mn*t be excluded, as certain to put to (light the
quiet tastes,the pure thoughts,the steady disciplining
of •he mind, which should make the solo business
of this pan ol life : that out ol this period of youth,
(already rendered but too short, by premature intro
duction into company,) there is nothing to spare to
mere Vacuity or F rivolity, to occupations that teach
no good, mid Amusements that steal the affections
from all knowledge or virtue: tint, in a word, it is
only in the midst ol Nature, I.»r from all bustle, out
of the way ol Idleness and Dissipation, in the centre
of a quiet, animated only by improving studies, and
the healthy and innocent pleasures of the country,
that woman can be properly brought up—at least by
Schools.
1 o such ideas as these is the system adapted,
which ilie Principal is labouring ?o set on foot.—
Without the privacy, the tranquility, «lie sin pie
tastes, the rational occupations ol the country, it cnn
be carried into only very imperfect effect. With
iheir assistance, one may keep out Nonsense ami
precocious F oily long enough io allow some Sense
lobe put into thu Mind, somo serious Virtues into
the Character, some unaffected Graces into the Man- ;
ners. Without this help of Privacy, littlo can be
done against the prevailing fault* of Education ;
wh ch lie almost as much perhaps, in the extreme I
Indulgence, ol which children are the sacrifice at 1
home, as in the Quackery of which they ate so often I
the victims abioad.
Thp plans pursued in the original establishment of |
the School, have satisfied of their advantage, all (the
Principal believes) tvho have seen their operation.
I hey will of course, he continued, with ev> ry im
provement which the Public Encouragement prom
ises at all hi requite. It will be the Piincipal's aim
lo render the establishment not less solidly good, ns a
School, than it is agreeable, as a residence.
Visitors will lor the future, be excluded, except j
the married or female connexions of Inn ates. The »
Institution will form, with its teachers and pupils, a
little community of its own. A Post Office is at- |
(ached to it ; but no Store nor place of Entertain- i
went. The transfer of Pupils to »he prt sent School
"ill be made without cost to their parents.
N. I).—New Pupils must endeavor to be teady j
to join their classes on the 4th of March, when the ,
School will organize itself.
I erms .is heretofore published, with only one
change—that those who have, in the School, learnt ■
French well enough to begin to make it the medium
of other Studies, will he taught Italian, without any
additional charge. Such a class will be set out, at
the term now beginning. The arrangements as to
Teachers remain yet unchanged. An additional
French Master will probably be employed. The
Farm attached to the fnsiuuiion contains near 500
acres. '1'lie Stage from Fincasllc to Salem passes
the place3 times a week* The main Building (or
Hotel) is ol brick, and large enough to accommodate
60 pupils, in an excellent manner The Cabins are
also of brick, and will be used as School and Music
Rooms, and as lodgings fur Teachers. Pupils will
not sleep in iliein, except under the care of married
persons. Dress and Expenses will he regulated as j
heretofore. Pupils must bring a Table and Tea
Spoon each ; 6 common Towels; 6 each of every ,
article ol dress, except Under Frocks and Robes:
of the former, four Summer and two Winter; of the
latter two Winter and three Summer. Outer Dress, j
good Calico, of small paJe blue stripes or vines, for j
Summer, with Capes and Pantalets of the same.— !
Winter Dress, plain bottle green Circassian, with
Capes, &c. A111 Clothing marked. Two pair of
good leather Shoes; one or two of black Kidd, Mo- 1
rocco. or Prunella. Bonnet. Cane or Chip, Nun’s i
pattern, trimmed with sky blue for Suinmei, and (
crimson for Winter.
N. B.—The School at Liberty will pass into the '
hands ol the Reverend Nicholas H. Cobbs,a gentleman !
in whose caie it gratifies the late Principal to leave,
the children of a place, to which he owes much kind- ,
ness and cstcim.

Since the days of the Mrrry Monarch of England,
the srcniul Charles, and bis hair brained crony Kor

riiuro incompetent hands. -
Mr. Kennedy said lie might perhaps except from

depart—a personage mure notorious than distill-,
