C. FAINTED AT T«K OFFICE OF TMl 8TA*. 1841. r V. ■i CIRCULAR or THE UPPER CANADA ACADEMY. The U. C. Academy, chartered by tlie BritiHli Parliament in 1835, is located at Cobourg, on tlir nortiiern shore of Lake Ontario, about 70 milcH east of Toronto, and 100 west ofKinjrston. The coursh of Instruction in this Institu- tion enibraces the following Departments, viz : L — Juvenile Department ; n. — (Commercial Department ; IlL — Department of Science and Arts ; IV. — Department of Letters and Fine Arts ; V, — Female Department. A view of the studies in the several Depart- ments will shew that special reference has been made in the arrangement of the studies to the wants of the community. The course embraces all the various branches of a most extensive and thorough education, preparatory to the common avocations of life, and to the study of the learned professions. The outlines of the studies given below, will shew that the plan of instruction is more com- prehensive than that of any similar Institution in America. The Studies are so arranged that the pupil, in passing through the several departments, from the Juvenile to the highest, enjoys the benefit of a systematic ftoiirso ofcfhication, hy which the Jntellectiinl powers are aradiially developed, and at the same time the mind is stored with infor- mation in the various branches of Knowledffe.— The Youn^ Gentlemen's Department comprises all the studios usually pursued in Colleges, in addition to the various branches of an Enfflish Education. ° The following are the outlines of the course of study in the Male Department : JUVENILE DEPARTMENT. Spelling, Reading Introductory Arithmetics, and Geographies, Writing, Pinnock's Catechism of Geography, living's Catechisms of the Histo- ries of various Nations, English Grammar and the elements of Natural Philosophy. In this Department are taught the elementary principles of correct reading and declamatian, and the con- struction of Maj.s. As an exercise in the definl tion and use ot ivords, and the structure of lan- guage, the pupils are daily required to incorpo- latein sentences to be written by them, words given them by their teachers. I he Junior Students are under the eye of their Teachers, who have the supervision, not only of their education, but also oftheir habits and morals! COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. This department is intended for boys, who have made some progress in elementaryTtudTes course. 1 o such pupils will be given as tho- rough a preparation, as through the English and Modern Languages can be imparted, for the ac 5 live busineBs of life, oillier as Mcrclinnts, Engi- neers or M(3clidnicR. The oullinos of tlio course of study in tiiis D(;|)nrtinent nrc tlio following : 1. English Grnminar and Composition. 2. (Geo- graphy and History. 3. Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. 4. Penmanship and Book-Keeping. 5. Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Astronomy. G. Rhetoric, French and other Modern Languages.

The Method of Instruction, particularly in the languages, is that pursued in the London University. The following outlines of this course are taken from the London University Calendar, for which they were prepared by the Professors. The instruction in Latin and Greek is communi- cated by daily recitations '^in certain portions of the author ; by questions on the subject — ma'tter and words ot the author; by remarks on the pe- culiarities of the Language ; and by requiring from the students translations both oral and writ- ten, from the Greek and Latin into English, and from the English into Greek and Latin. The habit of thoroughly analyzing sentences upon grammatical principles is early formed. Eng- lish sentences are given to the Students, which they are to translate into Latin and Greek on the black board, until they acquire facility in wri- ting the original text. The Professors translate and explain difficult portions of the languages, and lecture on the history, antiquities, and lan- guages of Greece and Rome. As the Student advances, his attention ir turned to various points by suitable exercises. It is of the utmost importance that the languages be commenced in early life. The course of in&truction in the Mathematics equally thorough.

The attention of the entire class being constantly directed to the ope- rations on the board, each student obtains as clear a knowledge of the subject, as if he himself had performed the whole. In every Department, the Professor or Teach- er being confined to a prescribed course, and lim- ited number of studies, the system of instruction must be more thorough than in any private school in which the attention of the teacher is necessarily directed to a wider range of sub- jects, Ktvmu unti Wntntion^. The Academic year is divided into two ses- sions ; the Summer Session consisting jo 18 weeks, commences on the last Thursday in May, and is preceded by a vacation of five weeks ; the Winter Session consisting of 26 weeks, commen- ces on the third Thursday in October, and is pre- ceded bv a vacation of three weeks. A Public examination is held at the end of the Winter Sessioti about the 20th of April. EXPENSES. 1. Board, including Room, Furniture, Washing, &c.— per £.fL. am - - - ^^2 2.

LIBRARY. The Library is yet small, but the Trustees de- sign to enlarge it, as the funds of the Institution will warrant. A Flourishing Literary Society is associated with the Academy, with a Reading-Room, which is furnished with the best journals of the day, to which all Students have access at a trifling ex- pense. Parents and Guardians are earnestly advised not to furnish " spending morey^'' to Students, es- pecially when young. Those who send children under sixteen years of age, should place their pocket-money in the hands of one of the Officers of the Academy, to be furnished to the children, when it is deemed necessary. Parents and Guardians are informed, that daily bills are kept of the merit, and demerit, of each Student — the former denoting the excellencies of each, in his recitations, and other Academic ex- ercises — the latter, the deficiencies and delin- quencies of each in his respective duties. The Principal will furnish an exhibit of these records in any particular case, when requested by the stu- dent or his friends ; and in all cases where the delinquencies exceed a certain number, and wh6»e private and public admonitions have been given without effect, a statement of the bill of demerit will be forwarded to the friends of such delinquent scholar. This will be the last step of discipline, proceeding the final one of suspen- sion or dismission.
