SHILOH CLASSICAL SCHOOL, 1827.
SHILO CLASSICAL SCHOOL,
Granville County, N. C.
January 10, 1827.
THIS is to inform the Public, with a view of making this School preparatory to a College course as far as circumstances will permit, we have engaged Mr. Robert Tinnin, a young gentleman of excellent classical attainments, and from our knowledge of his talents as an instructor of youth, we have the fullest confidence that he will most faithfully devote himself to the instruction of his pupils, as a disciplinarian, he will be impartial and efficient, and as a teacher eminently successful. From full opportunity of judging, we believe his method of Teaching is well suited to make thorough scholars, and that no parent or Guardian, who may commit youth to his care, will have any reasonable hopes of their progress in learning disappointed.—The school will commence the 3d Monday in January inst.—Board can be obtained in respectable families of the neighborhood, and at moderate prices.—The price of tuition for the languages is $12.50 per session.
