ration for a number of years past, under the care
Of The Rev. A. J. LEAvENwoRTn and LADY is now
in charge Of the subscriber ms Principal tho hopes
Ia render il attractive for its literary advanta-
ges as il is for the beauty of its natural scenery.
As the general PLAZA only, can be presented in a
prospectus of this kind the attention of the public
is respectfully solicited to the following remarks
comprising some OF the leading lectures Of the
school
\ l. The Principal stranger in this section OF
/ the country, must be allowed 10 say, that he enga-
ges 10 the business of instruction permanent
J one and one TO which his attention has been d.
rected for years. His whole time, and exclusive
attention " i'll therefore, be devoted to his work
and he will not rest satisfied till this Seminary
takes its rank among the very first.
/ 2. The course Of study in the Institution, en-
braces such instruction as is given IN the highest
order OF schools, in the elementary and higher
branches OF English-tbe elements of the Natural
Sciences--M athenatcs-Greek and Latin-and
! will, practicable, embrace French, Mu.
sic, Painting ana Drawing at all events; and what
ever others, patronage NAV warrant
! s. In giving instruction, it will be the constant
aim Of the Principal to excite in the minds OF his
pupils, high degree ofinterest in hatever branch
they may pursue-to eradicate TO the utmost OF
his power, the feeling that any particular study is
dry and void Of interest
| For the purpose of adding interest TO a large
proportion OF the studies, well rendering
them much more rapidly ard easily understood,
the Seminary is furnished with an extensive set of
apparatus, by which. experiments will be made in
Natural Philosophy and Chemistry; and the prin-
cpes OF Ari,htnetic, Geography, Geometry End
Astronomy illustrated. In addition to the use Of
Globes, Maps, &c, in the study of Geography,
large outline Maps ada pied to w oocbridge's Uni
versal Geography, will be used in advanced class
es, and from wheh they will reeite. These where
yer introduced have been attended With nvaTiable
success.
! Al the same time that we hope to throw an in
teres by various means into every study pursued,
we far from intimating, or even limiting, any
thing approaching 10 suporhcialtY We aust be
thorough-we must go over the ground inch by
zach, and parents must wait patiently the result.
We know Of no " royal road our only hope is in
patient, and long continued effort. Hence, after
parents perfectly satshed-and not till then
Of our competency as instructors, we ask that pu-
pills may be under our care for series OF terms
Disc pine of mind requiring years of uoiniugis
no way advanced by change ofschools and books.
A. Parents are weekly informed, By regular re-
ports of the attendance department and scholar
ship of their daughters II the friends of the pu-
pills altach Sufficient importance 10 these reports,
they are almost sure TO produce happy results; as
the principals own experience, and knowledge OF
their use, has fully demonstrated. The business
ef training nind--of fitting it for strong and en-
ergetie as well correct moral action, Is one of
almost unequaled responsibility and hence, tho
most faithful and best directed efforts OF teachers
will prove comparatively futile, without the gene
raj cooperation Of the patrons of the school.
). H. the government of the school, moral sua-
sion is deemed the best influence and IN ne case
will rigid rules be introduced, without patient and
protracted efforts to show their necessity, and OBJ
tain the sanction Of the pupils Still, the govern
ment of the school must be efficient, and its de-
tails have a clock work regularity. The prlncl-
pies of the Bible upon the common ground of all
orthodox denominations, will be the standard Of
our morality
