Wo propose to com­ plete this course In two terms, which can be done by those who will give the subject their fell time.

Some one hm guld. uwc the lesson in drawing jffty times in every day life, where we use the rule for Cube Root oncc." With the pro­ gress of education, Art is beginning to occupy its true place as a meaas of culture,,and from every scouree comes a demand for attractions' Mi iastrutv tive pictures. MUSIC. Music.--Each pupil reoelvee twe les­ son* per week on Piano or Organ, in a • clasvof not over three students. A Musical Education is Imparted through a i* guffir graded course of technical "and melodic musical works termina* tiug with the most difficult, modern and classical piano-forte composition. The act of accompanyment and play- jng'is taught as an invaluable means -•of perfecting pupils in their time.-- *1 Le&KJiis in Theory throughout the ' 'courfo.- The class system Is theoreti­ cal acd practical. It has this advan­ tage over tiie system of private les- J-mmr That by participation of several In the same lessons and in the same studies, musical feeling Is awaVfe enedandsustained.it promotes induct try and emulation, and it is a preser­ vation against one-sMenees 5of educa­ tion and teste, ft tendency against which eyery artist, even In the student years, should be upon his guard. It has the further advantage: Th at for the consideration of a most moderate fee, all these means are offered which the individual can otherwise obtain only with great difficulty and at great ooet the theoretical knowledge and the practical dexterity he re­ quires, that he may henceforth worth­ ily satisfy those great demands which our age makes upon the musicians as well as all otfaefOtrtlrts. The private lesson Is not Ignored ui the oourse, but on the contrary, is usually recommend­ ed, to all Its students, who«i they shall have finished the cours^jof technical training, then comes the period of Imitation. The best interpretation of composition of the higher order of the Musical Art is what the student wauls. Examples and Illustrations alone will advance them. A spacious hall ha* been procured and a piano placed therein, in which Soirees will be given every two weeks, at which the most advanced pupils, with the assistance of their teachers, will perform selec­ tions from the pieces learned at ^their lessons, in the presence of their par­ ents and friends, who will thus have the best opportunity of judging of their Improvement, while the pupils are en­ abled to exercise their powers and also to acquire the confidence which Is no necessary to a creditable per­ formance before others. At the dose of each term a Grand Concert will be given by the best available talent, affording the student the hear­ ing of a more pretentious musical en­ tertainment. (Students admitted to all Soiree».) A very competent Prof, has been secured to give instructions on the Cornet, or any band instrument, and so soon as the pupil can play suffi­ ciently well, he will be passed into the High School. Band and receive the benefit of the Band-drill, without ad­ ditional charge. A class In Violin music will also be formed each term and as soon as the pupil Is competent will be parsed into the orchestra, without additional charge. Instruc­ tions will be given on the Clarionet and Guitar If desired. Telegraphy.--A school in this highly important branch of education is es­ tablished with a competent teacher at its head. Cpmmodious rooms will be fitted up for the accommodation of those who wish to pursue Telegraphy. Lectures will also be given on Blew tricfty and explanations of the Tele­ phone and the Phonograph so that students may fully understand the study they are pursuing. Elocution.--Every Friday afternoon, students alternately speak and read Compositions and receive special In­ struction In both elooution and compo­ sition. In addition to this, the Prof, of this department will form classes for particular drill as often as It shall be deemed expedient, and give spe­ cial instructions in the production of sound, in the proper use of the voice and in everything that pertains to a chaste and ^graceful public address, JOHN8BURCH nntr >.? i'l t fl'f* ; T < " V'"" Selling all tlte < UHlJlois, In the market.
