Day scholars will be admitted at an annual charge of $50, but none will be received as such except the children of parents resident in town.
It may be proper to state, that though this Institution is avowedly Episcopal in its character, it is open to all parents who may choose to send their children; and on application for admission, no inquiry will be made as to the religious creed either of the parent or of the pupil.
The operations of the school will positively commence on the 1st day of April.

*As a matter of convenience to parents, steps will be taken by the committee to have the requisite books and stationary and Mattresses supplied to the students on reasonable terms.
