WESTERN COLLEGIATE AND COMMERCIAL
ACADEMY,
Albany Place, 362 Sauchiehall Street.
The above Institution provides mainly for a
thorough Eufjlish and Commercial Education, into
which the Classical element may or may not enter,
as the parents or guardians of pupils may think fit.
The course of instruction in the Latin language
embraces a period of two, or at most three sessions,
one hour per day, and is conducted so as carefully to
subserve the English and Commercial course. Thus,
pupils not intending to follow any of the learned
professions may draw all the advantages to be gained
from a study of the language, as aiding the acquisi-
tion of a knowledge of Natural Science in the higlier
branches of an English Education, and enabling the
Commercial pupil all the more easily and surely to
master the Modern Languages.
Mr. J. Macpherson, Principal of the Institution,
is responsible to parents and guardians for the edu-
cational management, and all other working arrange-
ments towards carrying out effectively the course of
instruction selected for pupils.
