The following notice of the Bradford Academy from the "Salem Gazette"
reminds us of the days of small prices,--"Tuition $3," or "$3.50 to those
who paint and embroider"!

_Bradford Academy._

THE Female Apartment in Bradford Academy, half a mile from
Haverhill Bridge, will be opened the first Wednesday in May,
under the direction of approved instructors. The Male
Apartment will be continued as usual. Young Masters and Misses
will be instructed by such as are assigned to their respective
Apartments, in all the branches hitherto taught in that or in
any other Academy. The preceptor will spend less time than
usual in the female apartment, and the preceptress will have
an assistant. The price of tuition, except those who paint and
embroider, will be three dollars a quarter. To those who paint
and embroider, three dollars and fifty cents. Very particular
attention will be paid to inculcate virtuous sentiments and
preserve the moral character of the scholars.

Bradford, April 9, 1805.
