School in St. Charles for several years past, by Mrs.
Allen, | can freely and cheerfully state that | have had
some opportunity Of becoming acquainted with che rep
uta,ion of the school and the merits and qualifications
Of the Teacher.
! have never known n better female school in any
place, and l believe that Mrs. Allen has very few supe.
riors as 4 Teacher.
Her requirements and qualifications as an instructress
are believed 10 be of the first order, her experience
in teaching has been considerable, her industry ana at
tention to her school are unusual, her mode OF impart
ing information and instruction is natural and snc-
cessful, and her manner of treatment and govern
meni is well calculated to gain and secure the con-
fdence, respect and good will of those entrusted 10 her
care. Such is her reputation among those who have
had the bos, opportunity Of being Intimately acquainted
with her mode Of teaching and conducting her school.
have never known any person who was well &C.
GRANTED with the School who did not form a ve-y high
have awarded il to tho most unqualified expression of
their confidence and appreciation. l consider the
