The time to be devoted to instruction, morning and evening, is intended to be so arranged as tiot materially to interfere with the regular studies of the pupils, at English schools. The recitations can be made to come probably within the compass of aw hour each, and it will be expected that each pupil will be prepared to recite, at the time the class may meet. The patronage of the Trustees of the Vincennes Academy, (now being organized) i respectfully requested, as it is believed this arrangement will operate- to the advancement of that institution.
