KILPATRICK'S SCHOOL IN 1820.
LATIN SCHOOL.
As I have been frequently solicited through the summer and autumn to commence again the business of teaching, I have taken this method to give public notice, that I design to commence with the first of the ensuing year, if the number of students who offer will justify the attempt. It is not my wish to attend upon a large number. Decent boarding can be had in the neighborhood for $65 or $70 per annum. Tuition, $16. I design to take a few in my own family. It is my wish that those who design applying or sending their sons, would communicate such intention or wish previous to the 20th of December.
