ENGLISH GRAMMAR TAUGHT IN SEVEN WEEKS.
SCHOOL NOTICE.
I take this method of informing the public, that I shall, on Monday the 11th of July next, open my school again at Wake Forest Pleasant Grove Academy. I have been induced to teach another school at this academy from the solicitations of several of my friends; and in consequence of several important engagements, I shall not be able to visit the neighbors in their individual capacities, which leads me to announce my intentions through the medium of a public notice. For the information of those who are unacquainted with my school, it may not be improper for me to remark, that it is an institution in which the English Grammar is taught upon a completely new and successful plan in seven weeks, at seven dollars per scholar. Any evidences of the superiority and efficacy of the system can be had by application to the subscriber. Board can be procured in respectable houses at $4 per month.
