STONY HILL ACADEMY, 1837.
The Examination of the Students at this Institution, will take place on Thursday and Friday, 15th and 16th June; at which time Parents and Guardians are particularly invited to attend.
The Exercises will re-commence on Monday, 3rd July, and terminate 1st December, at usual prices, for Board, etc. 40 dollars. Tuition will vary from 10 to 15 dollars, with a small tax of 50 cents for privileges of Students' Library.
The students of this school are treated as members of a family, and while their intellectual improvement is strictly attended to, a parental watchfulness is kept over them, to guard them against the now too prevalent vices of dissipation, extravagance and idleness, and at the same time to early impress on their minds the importance as well as the constant practice of virtue. The better to effect this object, the number of students will again be strictly limited, and none (if possible) received, who cannot submit to an easy, mild and parental, but a strict, firm and prompt discipline, under which the school at this place has prospered even beyond my expectations, and has suffered but few and short inconveniences from bad associations and immoral influences.
The situation of the school is one combining all the advantages of health and retirement, with not a Gill Shop within five miles.
