FAYETTEYILLE ACADEMY BUILDINGS FOR LEASE, 1825.
FAYETTEVILLE ACADEMY.
A PRINCIPAL TEACHER is wanted in this institution, well qualified to instruct youths of both sexes in all the branches of an English and Classical Education, and to prepare young men for entrance into the Junior Class of any College in the Union. His moral character, and qualifications for teaching the Greek and Latin Classes, must be undoubted.
It is the design of the Trustees to contract with a Gentleman who will take upon himself the sole management and responsibility of the School, comprehending both departments, Male & Female, supply the same with Teachers of his own choice, & furnish every other necessary, in consideration of which he will be entitled to regulate the price of tuition, and to receive all the emoluments derived from it.
This plan is recommended by the experience, that salary employments do not stimulate to that industry and zeal, which are necessary to the successful progress and reputation of a large School, and has its foundation in that principle of self love, which prompts the exertions most where interest lies, by identifying the interest of the Teacher with the character of the School, thus affording to the public the surest guaranty of having their children faithfully taught.
The Academy lot and buildings are situated in very pleasant part of the town, on one of the principal streets, and in the neighborhood of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches. The lot is large, and well shaded in the front yard, which communicates with the street over a stile: The main building and wing are three stories high, with a double Portico in front, and is surmounted with a beautiful Belfry—the length and breadth of the main building is about 65 by 45 feet, divided into large apartments, separated by large halls or passages through the centre.
They are sufficiently capacious to accommodate a School of 200 scholars and a family, and the lot is supplied from a Hydrant in the front yard with good and wholesome water.
Few prospects can be more inviting than the present, to a married gentleman with a family, qualified to assist in the school, or capable of taking boarders, (and such a person the Trustees would greatly prefer) for it combines the advantages of two fold profits, to be derived from teaching and boarding children from abroad. And when it is known that this Academy is situated in a town of 3000 souls, & that there is no Academy within 60 miles of it, in which the higher branches of learning are taught, the striking advantages of this offer cannot fail to make a strong appeal to the interests and enterprise of the first talents in the country, devoted from necessity to the vocations of Literature.
The Trustees will lease the buildings, lot, &c, from the first day of January next; (when the present lease expires) for one year: after which they will extend the term to any number of years the contracting
parties can agree upon.
Letters, post paid, may be addressed to the subscribers at this place.
