THE FALKENER SCHOOL REVIVED, 1813
EDUCATION.
At the solicitude of some Friends who are desirous of seeing us engaged in our former Location we propose taking under our care a number of Young Ladies and Gentlemen of tender age with a view of grounding them in such Principles as may conduce to enhance the pleasure of the Parents and promote their own happiness, by rendering them useful and ornamental Members of Society. Conscious how much depends upon a vigilant attention to the early bent of inclination, we assure those Parents and Guardians that may be disposed to confide their Children or Wards to our instruction and management, that every preceptive duty shall be diligently exercised—that Persuasion and Excitement will be preferred to Coercion—and that their literary pursuits will be so varied as to suit the genius, induce emulation, and render them eager of improvement. The School will be opened on the second Monday of next month, which will be the 11th of January, 1813. Warrenton, Dec. 19, 1812.                           Wm. and S. Falkener.
Terms for Boarding and Tuition will be 105 dollars per annum. For Day Scholars 20 dollars per ditto.    •    •    • —Raleigh Register, January 16, 1813
