Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Loggerville Literary Society Grammar School. This ancient establishment was founded for the education of young gentlemen in every rank of life; either for the aristocracy or country gentry, or the learned professions; for official appointments, or commercial pursuits; for competitive examinations of every description, or any other position in life. For this purpose, the curriculums are of the most extensive and varied description. The studies of the younger pupils commence with the English Grammar and spelling, calligraphy, and the first quaternion of Arithmetic. Thence with increasing years, studies for increasing intellect are gradually introduced, until in the higher forms, the Greek and Latin Classics are introduced, including Homer, Virgil, Æsop, and Cornelius Nepos; Mathematics, comprising Euclid; Algebra as far as simple equations; the modern languages, with book-keeping by single and double entry. Lectures are periodically given on botany, architecture, political economy, electricity, geology, telegraphy, conchology, photography, chemistry, dissolving views, and other popular and applied sciences, with illustrations where requisite. Music, drawing, and dancing, are inculcated by skilled and accomplished professors. A rifle company, to "teach the young idea how to shoot," and a cricket club are also established, together with theoretical lessons in swimming, for which an extrasized bath is provided, there being no piece of water of sufficient size to apply the art practically. The whole conducted by Dr. Homer Dormouse, and able assistants. There are two exhibitions for senior pupils at the University, one of £6. 13s 4d, and the other of £5 - annually.
