FREE SCHOOLS, FOR THE EDUCATION OF FATHERLESS AND OTHER POOR CHILDREN, Borough-Road, George's Fields, Southwark. "THE Boys' School was instituted as a Free School, by Joseph Lancaster, in 1801; and is actually extended to Seven Hundred Boys, who are instructed upon a Plan entirely new; by means of which, ONE + MASTER alone can educate One Thousand Boys, in Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, as effectually, and with as little Trouble, as Twenty or Thirty have ever been instructed by the usual modes of Tuition. "From the very great utility of this system of Education, a Subscription has been set on foot to support it; and several of the principal Subscribers are desirous of extending this Establishment to at least One Thousand Boys, and also to erect a School Room for Girls, upon a similar Plan, with the addition of Needle Work, under the care of the Two Sisters of Joseph Lancaster." It is proposed to extend this subscription, to erect a school-room capable of containing 1000 boys. The Miss Thompsons The Duke of Somerset.

All who will, may send their Children, and have them educated, Freely; (the Expence of Writing Books excepted;) and those to whom the above Offer may not prove acceptable, may pay for them at a very moderate Price. This School is not established to promote the Religious Principles of any particular Sect; but, setting aside all party distinctions, its object is to instruct Youth in useful Learning, in the leading and uncontroverted principles of Christianity, and to train them in the practice of moral habits, conducive to their future welfare, as virtupuş men and useful members of society. SUBSCRIPTION, SUBSCRIPTION FOR TRAINING YOUTH AS SCHOOLMASTERS. THE Design of this Subscription is to provide a Fund for the Maintenance of young Men disposed to follow the Profession of Schoolmasters, for which they are to be qualified, by making them practically conversant in the new System of Education; this will be done in J. L.'s Institution, and under his own immediate Care. When this Object is attained, they will be recommended to Situations for which Schoolmasters may be wanted. If the Subscription proves sufficiently liberal, they will be qualified to teach some Work of Industry; as Shoe-making, Tayloring, Basket-making, &c. to the Children whom they may have under their Care.
