French Greek Boarding School.

The joRowing is published for the intor:
nation Of Parents
"AVING long believed that a School
III on plan different from most others
in many respects, would be beneficial TO
society, and apprehending that with all
its cares, and the responsibility insepara-
bic f.om such concern, ! could more
cheertully devote my time 10 the eduta-
ton of children than to any other .busi-
ness, / have concluded to establish a
BOARDING SCHOOL for GIRLS
With this view | have purchased the
FRENcH CREEK FARM. four miles east
Of the yellow springs, on the Nsrristown
and Philadelphia road, situated in Pike
land and Vincent townships, Chester
county, twenty.sevcn miles from Phila-
delphis, combining many convenieneies
for tie support oil such an institution /;
and having let the farm, etc. in a way
calculated 10 supply the family with pro-
visions, lpropose to devote my attention,
with the aid of suitable assistants, to the
education of the children who NAV be
placed under my care.
In selecting the pupils, it is not promo.
sed to be governed entirely by their ases,
nor to require that they shall ali be mem
bers Of the religious society of Friends
but as the school rules will be very few
in number and very simple, it is my wish
that none may Ice sent contra airy to .heir
own inclination, nor any one who would
not be likely to be good examples to tie
other scholars, and treat then with kind
ness and affection.
The price for board and tuition will BE
two hundred Dollars per anuum, one
quarter always TO be paid il ADVANCE
no restrictions respecting the kind Of
clothing are intended, nor respecting the
frequency of the changes that parents
may require; the washing will be char
ged AT the ordiaary price per dozeh--
children may be admitted for one quar-.
ter only, and such as are entered for a
longer period, may nevertheless be remu.
we'd at the expiration Of any quarter.
The communication with PhiladeIpbis
will be frequent and easy by stage, and a
house Of entertainment kept BY the far
mer for the accommodation Of persons
having business at the school.
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, En-.
gllsh Grammar, Geography and the use
of Maps and globes, will be taught, toge-
Their with such other branches as the pro-
gress OF the children and experience may
render expedient. The school to omen
the first of the 9Th month next. For fur.
