SEVEN TEACHERS EMPLOYED AT THE ACADEMY, 1812.
RALEIGH ACADEMY.
The Parents and Guardians of Students at the Raleigh Academy, and the friends of the institution and of literature in general, may be gratified by being informed that the business of Education was never more prosperously conducted than at present. The Students are numerous and industrious, and are well attended by efficient instructors. Seveu teachers are now employed, viz.: In the Male Department, Mr. M’Pheeters (the Principal), and Mr. Mangum; in the Female Department, Mrs. Sambourne, Miss M'Intyre, & Mr. Forster. And in the Preparatory School, Mr. Dickson and Mr. Jones. In consequence of the increased number of students. Committees are appointed for weekly instead of monthly visitations, as formerly. Every exertion is made by the Trustees to sustain and increase the reputation which the Raleigh Academy has deservedly acquired, and the students are commendably zealous in this co-operation. Their two societies have weekly meetings for the exercise of their talents in the discussion of useful subjects, and considerable additions are made to the Library.
