_
_The following Paper of_ Hints _towards forming a Plan for that
Purpose, is so far approv'd by some publick-spirited Gentlemen, to
whom it has been privately communicated, that they have directed a
Number of Copies to be made by the Press, and properly distributed,
in order to obtain the Sentiments and Advice of Men of Learning,
Understanding, and Experience in these Matters; and have determin'd
to use their Interest and best Endeavours, to have the Scheme, when
compleated, carried gradually into Execution; in which they have
Reason to believe they shall have the hearty Concurrence and
Assistance of many who are Wellwishers to their Country._
_Those who incline to favour the Design with their Advice,
either as to the Parts of Learning to be taught, the Order of Study,
the Method of Teaching, the Oeconomy of the School, or any other
Matter of Importance to the Success of the Undertaking, are desired
to communicate their Sentiments as soon as may be, by Letter directed
to_ B. Franklin, _Printer, in_ Philadelphia.
