HIGHBURY HOUSE SCHOOL, ST. LEONARDS-ON-SEA.

This school, established 24 years, is specially suited both on account of the well-known mildness of the climate of St. Leonards, and from its domestic arrangements, for the Sons of Gentlemen residing in South Africa.

The premises have been specially built for their purpose with lofty school and class rooms, Dining Hall, Gymnasium, Hot and Cold Baths, and Lavatories, and a Carpenter’s Shop and Chemical Laboratory have been recently added. The house is warmed throughout with hot water apparatus and thoroughly ventilated.

The whole school consists of Preparatory, Middle and Upper Departments, in which the ages vary from six to eighteen years.

When desired, arrangements are made to clothe and take entire charge of pupils during the Vacation.

“The Thistle,” the school magazine, now in its 15^th Volume, is published six times yearly, and contains besides literary matter, a full account of all events of interest in the school, such as the Athletic Sports, Cricket and Football Matches, Swimming Races, Concerts, Lectures, and the successes at the School or Public Examinations.

Full particulars and References to the Parents of boys now in the School in Canada, British Guiana, Calcutta, Ceylon, The Straits Settlements, and in the Cape Colony, Natal and Transvaal, can be had on application to the Head Master, or to Mrs. DUFF, the Lady Principal.
