TEACHERS WANTED—QUALIFICATIONS.
The Inhabitants of Raleigh, in North Carolina, having lately erected a House for an Academy in one of the Squares of the City given them by the Legislature for the purpose, are desirous of engaging a fit person to superintend the Institution. If they could meet with a Clergyman of liberal Education and Principles, who would take charge of the Academy and give the citizens a weekly Discourse, such an one would be preferred, and for such a Character, it is believed, a handsome salary would be provided.
Raleigh being the seat of the State Government, and esteemed a healthy situation, would doubtless prove an agreeable residence for a person of the above description.
An Assistant Teacher to initiate young Scholars in Reading, Writing and Accoumpts, is also wanted.
Application to be made, by letter (postpaid) to J. Gales, Raleigh, Secretary to the Board of Trustees.
March 10.
