FRANKLIN ACADEMY EXAMINATION IN DECEMBER, 1807.
FRANKLIN ACADEMY.

On Monday and Tuesday last, the semi-annual examination of the Students of this Academy took place. They were publicly examined before a Board of Trustees, in Geography, and in the English, Latin, Greek, and French Languages. The Trustees have much pleasure in announcing to parents, Guardians, and others concerned, that the examination, as heretofore, proved highly satisfactory. They cannot refrain from giving their particular applause and distinction to the classes in Greek and Geography, and to those most advanced in the Latin and French languages, and generally the Students acquitted themselves with much honor; manifesting their own application and improvement, and the abilities, assiduity, and unremitted attention of Mr. Dickinson, the principal.

The Trustees have the further pleasure of adding, that during the three years that this Institution has been in operation, although attended by not less than seventy Students annually, the greatest order and decorum have prevailed.
