 It is very desirable that students enter the School at the beginning of the sessions, but they may enter at any time, and they will be charged according to the prescribed rates from that time till the close of the session, unless a shorter time be specified.

Applications for admission should be made early either to the teachers or to any one of the Board of Managers.

The scholastic year consists of forty weeks, divided into two sessions. The Fall session will open on the 30th of 9th 1862, and close the 3d of 3d mo., 1863—time, 22 weeks. The Spring session will open the 13th of 3d mo., after a vacation of one week, and will close on the or 11th of 7th mo.—time, 18 weeks.

Tuition for the Fall session will be $11.00; for the Spring session, $9.00, payable invariably in advance: and no deduction except by reason of sickness of students themselves, and then not for less time than one week of continued inability, in which case an order will be made by the Board of Managers to the Treasurer to make said deduction when the student shall have satisfied them of the reasonableness of his claims.

The discipline of the School is intended to be mild and liberal, but firm: as far as possible, students are made to feel that they are the rightful guardians of their own character, and that upon them rests the responsibility of the influence which they may exert upon the School.

When from any cause whatever, the influence of a student becomes hurtful to the School, he may be expelled, by order of the Board of Managers.

Scriptural instruction will be imparted in the School, and students will be expected to attend the meetings for worship of the different religious societies of which they may be members, as often as practicable.

The School possesses some valuable chemical and philosophical apparatus as a nucleus for further acquisition. It is also desirable to make a cabinet collection from the various branches of natural science nations to either will be gratefully received.

In the building is a library of over 400 volumes, accessible to the pupils, for a small fee.

The "Addisonian" has been in successful operation from the opening of the School, and has proved to be a valuable auxiliary. Its exercises are discussions, essays and declamations. It has a nucleus for a library.

Lectures on the various subjects of natural science, illustrated by experiments, and also on other subjects will be delivered during the year.
