McCORMICK college,
(MALE AND FEMALE,)
Opelika, Russell County," Alabama.
riMIE Building for this Institution is now
1 completed, and the Board of Directors
invite the attention of Parents and Guardians
to the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded and
better cultivated in live months than by the old
system in five years.
Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist,
early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn
very fast; 3rd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from all illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.
Rates of Tuition :
PER TERM OF FIVE CALENDAR MONTHS.
Orthography, &c sls 00
Arithmetic, English Grammar, &c 25 00
Mathematics, &c.. with use of Inst’m’ts. 37 50
Double these rates will be charged for every
day that a student may be unnecessarily ab
sent.
After students are well learned in the Na
tural Sciences, they will be allowed to enter
any ancient or modern Language at $25 per
term.
