RI^HIS Educational Establishment combines all the advantages of a GRAMMAR SCHOOL 8 with those of an ACADEMY. There is an efficient staff of Resident and Visiting Teachers, whose duties are to promote, as rapidly as possible, the Pupils, in those branches of study which will be most useful to them in their respective future occupations. The satisfaction in the progress of the pupils so generally expressed, which the earnest efforts of the Rector have given, justifies him in prosecuting his successful routine of practical instruction and education Grateful in learning that his labours, as an experienced educator and instructor, Lre appreciated, he feels certain that the more his peculiar methods of education and instruction are known, in their results, the natronaee bestowed upon his establishment will be even yet more extended. Taking an active share m the duties of the School Hall himself, the Rector can, with great confidence, submit SPA VILLA ACADEMY to the patronage of Parents and Guardians, who are desirous of sending out their Boys to an efficiently-condui'tecl Educational The same principles which have hitherto prevailed throughout the Domestic Department, and which have received the unqualified approbation of all who know them, will still be followed out. The Dining Hall Tables are supplied on a scale of the utmost liberality. The Dormitories are spacious and well-ventilated, every care being taken to maintain health and promote comfort. The situation and air of Spa Villa are well known to be very conducive to the strengthening of the Puptl.' physical powers.
