HOOPER'S SELECT CLASSICAL SCHOOL, 1824.
SELECT CLASSICAL SCHOOL.
THE subscriber proposes to open a select School for instruction in the Classics and the usual Elementary Branches of Education. He hopes, by confining his attention to a few, to give parents a greater security for the industry and thorough improvement of those whom they may entrust to his care, than is practicable at larger schools.
It must be obvious, that as those belonging to a school of the kind proposed, will enjoy superior advantages, so they must expect to make a somewhat higher compensation. On no other condition, would the plan offer any adequate remuneration. The subscriber having been for several years engaged in the task of education in the University of the State, flatters himself that he will be able to qualify his pupils well for entering that Institution. His terms will be $50 per annum to be paid semi-annually in advance. There will be a vacation of two months in summer. Those who intend to send their sons, will be pleased to give the subscriber immediate information, as he wishes to open the school on the 1st of January next. Care will be taken to obtain Boarding in eligible houses and on reasonable terms.
Fayetteville, November 22.                                  William Hooper.
