SHIELDS' LANCASTER SCHOOL, 1820.
A School on the Lancastrian plan is established in Greensborough in this state, The Teacher Mr. WILLIAM W. SHIELDS, we are informed, is a gentleman well qualified, as the examination of his students of only a few months standing will amply prove.
Young men disposed to qualify themselves to teach on this plan, and who have become pretty well acquainted with the English Language, can do so at the expense of about sixty dollars, including board. We hope many will embrace the opportunity.
