W. B. STRAIN PRINCIPAL, 1833.
TO THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.
The Trustees of Pomona Academy take this method of informing the public that they have succeeded in engaging the services of Mr. William B. Strain, to take charge of this Institution, a gentleman eminently qualified for the station. The School is now in operation, and is considered as fixed on a permanent basis. All the preparatory studies to entering College will be taught by Mr. Strain, who has himself acted in the capacity of Tutor in our University. Female pupils will also be received, and the strictest attention paid to deportment and instruction. Pupils will only be charged from the time of their entrance.
The price of Tuition per session, will be $12.50 for the Languages; and $6.50 in the English Department. No extra charges made.
Board can be procured within 200 yards of the Academy, for $30 per session. The healthiness of this situation is so well known, that it is unnecessary here to repeat its advantages.
Pomona Academy is situated 14 miles north-east of Raleigh.
