PITTSBOROUGH ACADEMY UNDER DAVID CALDWELL, JR.
PITTSBOROUGH ACADEMY.
The Trustees are happy in having it in their Power to inform the Public, that the Academy will be opened on the first Day of January next, under the Superintendence of Mr. David Caldwell, Son of the Rev. Dr. Caldwell, of Guilford County, as Teacher of the Latin and Greek Languages, and the useful and ornamental Branches of Learning; assisted by Mr. German Guthrie, former Teacher at the Academy, in the English Grammar, Reading, Writing and Cyphering. The Trustees feel assured, from the known Abilities of the Teachers, and the strict Attention that will be paid to the Morals of the Students, that general Satisfaction will be given. The healthy situation of Pittsborough, together with the Cheapness of Board, being generally to be had for Boys at fifty-two Dollars per Annum, must give it a decided Preference to most other Institutions of the kind.
Price op Tuition. The Latin and Greek Languages, and Sciences, sixteen Dollars per Annum.
English Grammar, with Reading, Writing, etc. thirteen ditto.
Reading, Writing, Cyphering, etc., eight do.
By order of the Trustees,
December 1, 1801. James Baker, Secretary.
