Education
THE subscriber announces to the public,
that I’isSehool for the education ot youth
will be opeaed for the admission of students on
Monday, 2d January, 1837, at the village of
Mount Zion, Hancock county, a place highly
celebrated for its institutien of learning.
The ancient languages Mathematics and the
Sciences, together with the primary branches
of education will be taught, and great care be
taken to give to each student a thorough, critical
and enlarged comprehension of the various sub.
jects of study pursued.
The principles which are employed by him,
who holdsthe important station of an instructor
youth, tn the management and direction of his
change, should he freoly stated to the public,
that they may judge of their correctness in
theory, and tneir applicability tn the wants of
the jisiag generatien.and the structure of socie
ty at large. I shall, therefore, present a concise
Aiew of those acted upon by myself. And first,
Government. This a fundamental article,
“ Order, is Heaven’s first law. Order, per
fect order, without a jar or one decrepancy
must be maintained. To secure this different
modes are used’ One, the compulsory, which
attempts to accomplish ilscbjecl by “ bolts snd
bars, rods aud stripes.” This is suited to the
blind despotism of the ctpnp or navy, but not
to train yenth for the social duties of an enlight
ened, independent republicanism. Fear may
curb the licentious and refractory'spirit of the
student, while under the immediate influence,
bnt as soon as it is withdrawn he is left without
any balance or guide to dirent his course. An
other is the persuasive, wdich seeks the same
end by addressing the possions of the student—
his pride, ambition, aud spirit of emulation ; a
mode equally objectienqlile with the former, as
it nouiishes that never sated love for distinction
which in the moral influences. This peints out
duiy, moral obligation, as the rule of conduct.
Its vast superiority over the pieceding methods
is apparent to every mind. The officers of
an educator do not stop with merely imparting
au amount of knowledge and the
outbreakings of violence and passrati during the
hours allotted to study. take hold of the
most secret windings of individuals social and
public interest. The heart, the social and mo
ral feelings, are to be trained and educated
as well as the tnind. Believing it to be the graud
and fundamental principle in government to
teach youth to govern themselves, this mode
seeks the establishment of character Its law is,
do right; its argument, is it right ? its tribunal
the student’s own conscience.
Such being our government, little need be ;
said as to the mode of teaching. It will be to I
lead by the attractions of knowledge to make
study pleasant and interesting, and to give clear
ideos so that the student, charmed by the light
he enjoys, may press on to greater attainments
improvement and science.

From the flattering encouragemet, we have
ceived during the present year, we have made
very e..ertion, and have succeeded in engaging
he services of first rate teachers in the several
departments of the Institution;—They bring
with them testimonials of religious characters,
and literary attainments fioni many of the most
itiHuential gentlemen in the United States.
We have made arrangements to have a Stew
ard’s Hail attached to the Institution, at the
head ol which will be Mrs. D’IESTE, an elder
ly lady, whose domestic habits and experience
iv th* government of young laeies, are very
highly extolled. We have been led to this
step, from the inconvenience which young ladies
experience in going lo and coming front their
boarding houses during inclement weather; from
the time they lose, owing to the domestic ar
rangements ol other houses, not corresponding
with our own; for the sake of having all the
yo mg ladies, at ail times, under the supervision
of the teachers, as many of them are disposed
to neglect their studies, and become careless of
their manners and language when not subjected
to such a check; and, finally, the teachers can
not feel themselves as responsible for those who
board elsewhere, as for those who board with
them. We do not wish to be understood as dic
tating to our patrons, but respectfully sub
mit the above hints to their sober consideration.
A contract has been made for having comple
ted early in the. ensuing year, a Female Gym
nasium, for physical education.
Young ladies who may desire to speak the
French language, will have uncommon advan
vautages afforded them here. Mrs. D’Este was

SCHOOL FOR Civile
ENG-miEERS,.
GE ORGE TO WN, KENTUCKY.
THIS SCHOOL was opened in May 1835,
in connexion with the Georgetown Col
lege Ky. It will hereafter be connected with
the Bacon College lately established at the same
place.
The great and increasing demand for Civil
Engineers throughout the United States, affords
to young gentlemen who embark in this business,
a more lucrative salary, than any other profes
sion in our country.
Well instructed assistant Engineers now re
ceive from SIOOO to S3OOO per Annum, while
Principal Engineers readily obtain from S4OOO
to 10,t Oil a year.
Several young gentlemen have finished their
course at this School and immediately obtain
ed employment at sl'loo to S2OOO per an
num.
The favourable manner in which they have
been received by the most scientific Engineers
in the Union, has induced the subscriber to ex
tend the course of studies—to increase the fa
cilities for acquiring a thorough and correct prac
tical and theoretical knowledge of the science,
and to adopt many valuable and important im
provements, suggested by the most eminent En
gineers in the I 'ni’ed States.
A Student who has completed a regular course
of Mathematics may graduate in this school in
six months at an expense of $l2O or $l5O.
Others will require at least twelve ixontlls—all
things being favourable
COURSE OF STUDIES AND INSTRUC
TION.
Ist. The full course of Mathematics studied
at We-t Point (Davies’ Mathematics,) from A

The following extracts of letters from two of
the most scientific men in *ur country, will show
the utility of this School.
FRANKFORT, July 19 th 1836.
Dear Sir—The four young gentlemen from
the Georgetown Mathematical School, who arc
engaged as assistants in the Engineer corps ol
the State, have performed the duties assigned
them in a very satisfactory manner. Among
the young gentleman of my acquaintance who
have embraced the Profession of Civil Eng;- :
neering, those who have been educated at Ma- j
thematical Schools have generally succeeded I
better than the graduates of our common Colle
ges.
A knowledge of Mineralogy and Chemistry
is of great advantage to the Engineer ; and it is
absolutely necessary that he should be acquain
ted with Architectural or Line Drawing. The
Student should be taught the principles of con
struction at the same time he is taught to make
his drawing.
Very respectfully,
your obedient servant.
SYLVESTER WELCH,
(Engineer in Chief for the State of Ky )
ToT. F. JOHNSON Esq.
Professor of Civil Engineering, George
town Ky.
LOUISVILLE July 29th,1396.
Sir—lt affords me pleasure to testify to the
very correct and satisfactory manner in which
the two young gentlemen from your School
have conductod themselves during the time they
have been in the service ; and the ability mani
fested by the prompt and skilful discharge oi
their several duties, is alike creditable to them
and the character of the institution in which !
the> were instructed.
The Books comprised in your course of stu
dies arc appropriate and well selected. I am
pleased to hear that Topographical and Archi
tectural Drawing is to form a part of yonr fu
ture course. This is an elegant accomplishment
to an Engineer, and in the early part of his ca
reer will frequently bring him into notice and
hasten his promotion to more responsible sta
tions, where his talents may be fully devel
oped.
Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate
the profession, I trust they will be crowned with
success, and I assure you it will afford me very
great pleasure to render any aid in my power to
second your views.
Your most obedient,
THOS. F. PURCELL,
Engineer in Chief Lexington and Ohioß. R.

Professor of Civil Engineering, George

EROM A GRADUATE OF THE LAST
SESSION.
Indianapolis, Oct. 1836.
Dear Sin—We are about to commence the
location of a Canal, 34 miles in length, to meet
the Central Canal,- which will take us till late
in the fall. lam perfectly satisfied with my
situation, and shall never regret the money
spent in obtaining it. I consider the fact es
my having attended your schfiol one Session to
have saved me at least three years bard labour,
for it would have required that time (had I not
joined your Class) to qualify me forthe discharge
of the duties I now have on hand. 1 believe
this isthc opinion of each member of the class
which graduated last Session.
FROM A CO RESPONDENT OF ONE
OF THE.STUDENTS.
Geneva, N. Y. Oct. 29th, 1836.
Your intention of going to Georgetown Kv.
is, I think an admirable tine and you would be
very much to blame, not to go through with it
—sot, from all accounts, the School in George
town is better adapted for preparing Engineers
than any others in the United States, t have
spoken to several Engineers on the Subject and
they all agree in recommending it very strong
ly.
