on plan entirely new. At the opening of the
spring term, it will be committed to the care of
three young Ladies of whose skill in government
and instruction, the most satisfactory testimonials
can be provided. The course of instruction will
be adopted with the greatest care, and the method
of communicating it will be judciously selected.
1t is understood that the Preceptress and her Sc
nor Associate will visit some of the principal Fe-
male Academies, for the purpose of learning the
effect of different modes of instruction, and of
gaining all the information necessary guide them
in work, in which every benevolent heart will
wish them success.
