Bowery Academy,
L ocated eight miles
West of Talbotton on the road
thence to Columbus. The exer
cises of this School for 1876 will
commence on the First Monday of
Janunry.
Rate of Tuition:
Each pupil will be required to pay $10 upon
entrance. At tho close of six months $10 more.
This will settle tuition lor the first Term.
Board oan be had in good families for $12.60
per month. Everything furnl*hed except
lights.
The Principal feels grateful for the very lib.
era! patronage which he has enjoyed during
Twknty-Two Years. That his energies have
pot relaxed, his numerous patrons in twelve
counties of Georgia will testify.
Believing that unless the theory of a science
Is acquired in connection with the reason upon
which It is based is soon lout, the undersigned
adhere* to the “Why and Wherefore” system.
Thou^ . „
have made, arc making,and will make (as long
as there are any) the practical, useful anu
su^c ssiul meu of the world.
If wo look over this country, and through our
marts of trade, wo see that by far the larger
part of our business passes through the hands
of those whose school days consisted of at least
Ten ffourt each, while the pilots of evanescent
enterprises aud “hair-hrafned” projects are
the fruits of Four and Hix hour day schools.
Therefore, the Spring Term at Bowery will
continue through One Hundred and Twenty
Scholastic days of Ten Hours each.
Such boys and girls as are too delicate for
close mental discipline are not solicited at
Bowery.
Any patron who will visit he school regular
ly during a term, and feels at its close that the
pupil in whom he or she Is interested has not
received lull value of the tuition charged, will
he receipted gratis.
Tuition in Musio $4 nor month. In advance
