EUPHRONIAN ACADEMY, 1812.
The subscriber informs the public that the building of this Academy is finished and will be opened for the reception of students on the second Monday of next month. The Rev. M. M'Millan is appointed principal teacher: a gentleman whose learning and piety; whose suavity of manners and correctness of deportment, eminently qualify him for the discharge of the duties of his appointment. He is an experienced and approved instructor of youth. This Academy is situated in the county of Moore on the south side of Deep river about one mile from M'Kenzie's Store. No situation can be more healthful. At the base of the eminence on which it stands issues from among the rocks, a pure and never failing stream.
The price of tuition, to be paid in advance, will be, for spelling, reading, writing and arithmetic, $2.50 per quarter. For English Grammar, Latin, Greek, Geography, Natural and Moral Philosophy $4 per quarter. Board can be had in genteel and respectable families in the neighborhood, including firewood, candles, washing, &c. for $60 per annum or $15 per quarter. Those who may think proper to entrust the education of their children to the guardians of this Seminary are assured that the utmost care will be taken of their morals.
The abilities and experience of the Principal of the Academy; the healthiness of its situation, and the low prices of board and tuition, present the most flattering prospects of success to the friends and patrons of this infant institution. Thomas Tyson,
March 28, 1812. President of the Board of Trustees.
