Augusta Academy.
INTENDING to decline the Refloifllip
' of the Richmond Academy, after the expi
ration of the nrefem year —the Rev. JOHN
R. 1 HOMPsON, a m. will open,
A Private Academy, in Augusta,
upon Monday 2*l January, iSog, for the
rece'.itl'r.n, of students of every defeription.
Li this itiflifution, the various branches of
education will be taught by instructors cf
competent sbUities, who will have the
improvement of their pupils much at heart
—& as one of its objects will be to afford
the mean* of education those young gen
tlemen, who dccime entering a College, or
who wciild defer this until prrparrd for the
jr, or fr. daft—an annvalcemnencetnt will
Ik! held upon the firft Wednelday in Au
gust, when a certificate, granted to the
meritorious of the senior daft, willaufwer
either pnrpofc, which the student may
have in view. # Thi» academy, however,
w?,l no; he limited to those, who ate in
pnrfnit of a liberal education —Evglijh Un
dents whose proficiency is even the final
left, wid he received, and inftzu&ed under
the eye of theredorby pihen competent,
and lefpeflable, There will be two pub
lick examinations every year, ani a beard
of vifiiors , competed of gentlemen of Au
gusta, will attend at the academy, and
infpeft the progrsft of the Undents at the
• clofs of every quarter.
The advantages, which private jeminar
riei of learning have over those of a dif
ferent defeription may be clealy seen in a
neighboring as well as in more distant
ft«e». Havicg bat one principal who
yreferibes rhe plan of education, which
when entered upon is not liable to change,
cither by change of teachers. or other
riicomftanccs—tha progreft of the student
is rendered rapid and delightful, and the
damping talk of retracing his ftepj to learn
fomc uniaterefting particular from a new,
and ignorant teacher—is entirely obvia
tad. The meed of acadesuick honors held
out to view, Si the f parks of commendable
emulation among youths of similar talents,
fa-- sd into a dime by teacher*, who feel
themselves the fathers of their pupils—
caute every impediment to dwindle into
nothing.
Students, whote families do not refi in
in town, will be accomodated with
hoard ft lodging upon moderate terms, by
Mil. Handley—a lady whofc worth is
known with her name j and thus placed
under the eye of their inftrufton, every
attention can be paid to their morals.
_ The rates of tuition, board, and other
circunvtmcfs will be publilhed two weeks
previous to the opening of the academy,
