Michael S. Clarke
Returns his sincere Thanks to his numerous Friends, of all
denominations, who have, during a period of nearly twenty-six years,
so amply supported his School.
Grateful for past and present favours, he is determined to give
up his whole time and attention to the advancement of his Pupils, on
a plan, embracing at once all the sound modern improvements in
Science, and methods of teaching the Ancient and Modern languages ;
and to aid his intention has engaged an Assistant, from the College
of Dublin, amply qualified in the Classical Department, to enter
those who are design for Academical pursuits.
Along with the English, French, Latin, and Greek Languages, his
plan will include the best modern Courses of Geography, History,
English Grammar, Elocution and Composition; also Natural and
Experimental Philosophy, for which purpose he is provided with a
complete Philosophical Apparatus, and a Library of well chosen
Books, Globes, Charts and Maps for the use of his Scholars.
He purposes to keep up public Examinations half-yearly, whereby
opportunity will be given of judging of his plan that the
proficiency of his Pupils, Strict attention paid to the morals of
the Scholars.
From the above considerations, and the zeal and attention of the
Principal, he hopes for an accession to his number of Boarders ; and
his Day-School, deriving all the advantages of the above courses,
will claim the attention of the Inhabitants of Carlow and its
vicinity.
The Person who thus presents himself to the Public for whom he
has so long laboured, seeks no Competition, and only wishes to unite
his humble efforts with the other Professors of Learning in the
delightfully situated and healthful Town of Carlow.
Terms, for Boarders, 30 Guineas per Annum, paid half-yearly in
advance; no Entrance Fee required. For Day Scholars, 4 Guineas per
year, paid Quarterly in advance.
