GREENSBOROUGH ACADEMY COURSE OF STUDY, 1821.
The Exercises of this Institution commenced on the first Monday of January last, under the superintendance of the Rev. Wm. D. Paisley; but as the English Language has heretofore been only partially taught, the Trustees think it necessary to announce to the public that they have employed Mr. Jonathan Worth, as an Assistant Teacher. No Young gentleman, we believe, sustains a fairer character than Mr. Worth; and we can confidently pronounce him well qualified to discharge the duties of his station.
The Female Department will as usual be conducted by Miss Paisley, under the superintendance of the Principal of the Male Department, and the Managers. * * *
