THE KINGSTON BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

Established by the Rev. T. B. Turner, 1828.

   This Society has been in existence twenty-eight years. It is with much satisfaction the Promoter asserts, that not a week during this whole period has passed, in which some of its numerous members have not shared in its benefits.
   The proper management of its affairs is easily proved by the fact that, upwards of £3,000 have been distributed since its organization.
   There are at present about 480 members enrolled. This is an institution open to poor persons of every denomination, who may be desirous to provide for the time of sickness.  It is proposed to raise a fund for the purpose of extending its constant benefits to old and very infirm members. The Treasurer will, therefore, most thankfully receive whatever donations the charitable portion of this community may be disposed to contribute.

   The primary object of the Collegiate School is to furnish an education similar to that of the respectable schools at home. In addition to this, however, it aims at supplying one of a more collegiate character. Particular attention is therefore paid to modern languages, to classics and mathematics, and to the rules and practice of reading and composition. It thus affords means of preparation for young men entering the mercantile profession, the university, and the army.
   In the boarding department, the object is to treat the young  gentlemen as a family, and prepare them, by social and religious intercourse and duties of life.
   The arrangements are as follows:-
     The studies of each day are commenced with reading a portions of the Scriptures and with prayer. No pupil, however is asked to be present, if intimation to that effect be given either by his parent or guardian. There is no interference with the creed of any pupil.
II. The hours of attendance are from nine till three
III. There are two Vacations in the year; one at Christmas, the other at Midsummer.
IV. The terms are, for boarders, £45 including washing; and for day scholars, £12 per annum, to be be paid quarterly, and for boarders in advance.
P.S.-In connexion with, and forming part of, the Collegiate School, there is a Juvenile Preparatory Class, the object of which is to meet the wants of those who are too young to be benefitted by the ordinary classes. As the education is of the most elementary sort, no one can remain in the class after the age of nine. The terms are £8 per annum.
