This Spring session of this school will commence on the 21st day of the present month. A card from J. Milton HUBBARD, principal, appears in another column. It will also be seen that Mr. HUBBARD intends to secure the services of a competent assistant whenever the patronage of the school justifies it. It is evident that the present number of students in attendance at the academy is not sufficient to employ two good teachers. It is true that Mr. HUBBARD has been teaching a large number of boys for the past year, (upon an average about thirty-four), but it must be gratifying to the patrons of the school that during a scholastic year, about two hundred and fifty hours more are spent in teaching than in any other school of the same grade. The principal challenges comparison as regards the scholarship of his students with those of any other school. It rests with the friends of this school whether or not it shall have an assistant teacher.
