FrenchC Creek Boarding School.

The ftRoping is published for The intor-
nation Of Parents
EHAVING long believed that School
IN plSn dlfferent from most Jihers
in many respects, would be beneficial to
society, and experimenting that with all
its cares, and the responsibility insepara-
bic ON such concern, | could more
cheerlully devote my time 10 the educa"
ton of children than to any other BUSH
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

delphia, combining many cohTeniencies
for tie support Of such an institution
and having let the farm, etc. in way
calculated 20 supply the family with pro-
visions, Propose TO devote my attention.
with the aid Of suitable assistants, to the
education of the children who may be
placed under my care.
In selecting the pupils, it is not propo-
sed to be governed entirely BY their ages.
ncr to require that they shall all be mcm.
bers of the religious society Of Friends
but as tie school rules will be very few
in number and very simple, it is my wish
that none may he sent coEtlary to heir
own inclination, nor any one who would
not be like to be good examples to tie
other scholars, and treat them with kind
ness and affection.
Tie price for board and tuition will be
two hundred Dollars per annun, 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 pafenis
may require the washing will be char
ged at the Ordinary price per Dozen
children may be admitted Tor one quar-
ter only, and such as are entered for
longer period, may nevertheless be reno.
we'd at the expiration Of any quarter
The communication with PHILADELPHIA
will be frequent and easy by stage, and a

having business at the school.
