JOHN BRANDON PRINCIPAL, 1823.
FOREST HILL ACADEMY.
THE Exercises of this Institution commenced on the 16th instant, under the superintendence of Mr. John Brandon, who comes well recommended by Dr. John Bice, of Bichmond, and also by Dr. M’Pheeters, of Raleigh. The prices of tuition will be, for Beading, Writing, Arithmetic and English Grammar $6 per session; Geography $8; Latin, Greek and Sciences &c. $12.50 per session. Board can be had with the subscriber and in other respectable families for $30 per session. The strictest attention will be paid to the morals as well as the literary improvement of the pupils at this institution.—It is hoped that the qualifications of the teacher, the cheapness of board, the healthiness and agreeable society in the neighborhood of the Academy will ensure to this institution a liberal share of public patronage.
Forest Hill Academy is situated 15 miles north of Raleigh, on the road leading to Oxford.
