HEMDON ACADEMY.

The Exercises of this Institution will close on Friday the 8th December ensuing, with a public exhibition of the students, and will be resumed again on Monday the 15th January, 1838. The undersigned, being Proprietor and Principal Instructor in the Institution, would be glad to accommodate eight or ten boarders at seven dollars a month.
TUITION.

For Mathematics,       do      ........................    10 00
For Latin or Greek,     do      ........................    12 00

No student will be taken for less than a session.

The institution, though not incorporated, will hereafter be managed as such, a number of gentlemen having consented to act as Trustees. A strict and rigid discipline will be kept up. No large student will be received who is unwilling to submit to all the rules and requisitions of the school. Students boarding with the subscriber in particular will be required to be very orderly in their conduct. They will not be allowed to make a noise about the house, be out of nights or run about on the Sabbath. They will generally be kept at school a part of the day on Saturday, and on Sunday will be required to recite on Bible questions at the Academy. The subscriber would remark, however, that in answering Bible questions, everything bigotted or sectarian will be carefully avoided. There will be a female assistant. Little girls under 14 years of age will therefore be gladly received. Should any be entrusted to the care of the subscriber, every attention will be given to their morals as well as education. Adams' Latin and Valpey's Greek Grammar; Worcester's Geography; Emerson's Arithmetic; Murray's Sequal Reader and Introduction, will be used exclusively.

All persons wishing to board with the Subscriber, will please inform him by letter, directed to Louisburg, N. C.               John Y. Hicks.
Hemdon Academy, near Louisburg, Nov. 25, 1837.
