FARMWELL GROVE ACADEMY, 1820.
EDUCATION.
THE Trustees of the Farmwell-Grove Academy in the upper end of Halifax County, takes pleasure in informing the public that they have employed Mr. Levi H. McLean, of Guilford County, to take charge of the said institution, who comes well recommended for morals, scholarship and good school discipline. Board in genteel families can be had at 6 dollars per month. The terms of Tuition are, for the Latin and Greek Languages, and the branches of science taught in such seminaries $20 per annum; for the English Language $16. The Trustees flatter themselves that the great assiduity and attention given by Mr. McLean, where he has been teaching—the healthiness of the place, and the deserved celebrity of Mrs. Hines' Female School at the same place, will entitle them to a liberal share of public patronage. The school will commence the second Monday in January next—the early attention of Guardians and Parents is invited.
