THE HILLSBOROUGH ACADEMY
Will be opened on Friday, the 11th of January.
The principal is in correspondence with Mr. Hall, principal of the Andover (Mass.) "Seminary for Teachers," and hopes to procure a gentleman from that institution, to conduct the English Department. On the importance of this department in our classical schools, and the difficulty, not to say the impracticability in a large school, of giving to it a due share of attention, without an appropriate instructor, he thinks it needless to remark; and he presumes an additional charge of one dollar and fifty cents a session for tuition in English, will be cheerfully met by the community. In the event of procuring an English teacher, notice will be given, and a few English scholars will be received.
December 15, 1832. Wm. J. Bingham, Principal.
