Friday afternoons and evenings, at the rate of five dollars
for the first quarter, and four dollars per quarter
afterwards, two of which to be paid at entrance. [pointing

as may best suit their convenience.  Any gentlemen inclining
to be instructed to play on the violin, shall be taught by
the lesson, either at their own houses, or at said Curtis's
School, at a certain price for every lesson.  Gentlemen who
will please to put their children under his tuition, may
depend upon their being taught in the most polite
manner;--and that he will strive to instill into their minds
the principles of good manners and genteel deportment.
