its cares, and the responsibility insepara-
bic E. ON sach a concern, ] could more
cheerlully devote my tine 70 the ednca-
ton of children than to any other busi-
ness, I 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 Nerristown
and Philadelphia road, situated in Pike
land and Vincent townships, Chester
county, twenty-seven miles from Phila-
delphis, combining many conveniencies
for the support Of such an institution ;
and having let the farm, etc. in q way
calculated 10 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, il is not propo-
sed to be governed entirely by their ages,
nor to require that they shall all be MEM
bers Of the religious society Of Friends !;
but as tie school rules will be very few
in number and very simple, it is my ~isll
that none may be sent contrary to lheir
own inclination, nor any one who would
not be Likely to be good examples to the
other scholars, and treat them with kind
ness and affection.
The price for board and tuition will be
two hundred Dollars per annun', Gre
