MUSHAT CONTINUES STATESVILLE ACADEMY, 1820
EDUCATION
The connexion formerly existing between the trustees of Statesville Academy and the subscriber as Teacher having dissolved, Parents and Guardians are hereby informed that the different branches heretofore taught in this academy, he will still continue to teach in a suitable house prepared for this purpose. The satisfaction which the discharge of his office has given during the term of five years, and the respectable standing of his students in the different higher seminaries which they have entered, afford a well grounded hope that the usual liberal support and encouragement will be continued. Parents and Guardians may rest assured, that every necessary attention shall be paid to the deportment, the progress, and accuracy of pupils.
The school will commence on the first of January next. To accomidate the people of South Carolina, there will be but one vacation in the year, to commence on the 16th of November, 1821.
Boarding can be had, as usual, at the houses of Messrs. Work, Hart, and McKnight, &c.
