pose of finishing this information that se mas fonciu-
ded to send out the present Circular.
She has it in her power to multiply references IN re-
spect to her school; but contents herslf with calling
attention to the following testimonial from o gentleman,
who is well and favorably known throughout the State
Il was furnished in reply TO a letter from another gentle.
man, who requested his opinion of the school:
ST. CHARLES, Mo, APRIL IA. 1s40.
In reply to your enquiry of my opinion ofthe Female
Schoolin ST. Charles for several years past, by Mrs.
Allen, I can freely and ~cheerfully state that l have had
some opportunity of becoming acquainted with ;e rep.
utation Of the school and the merits and qualifications
of the Teacher. .-
have never known q better female school IN any
place, and I believe that Mrs. Allen has very few suPe-
riors a. a Teacher.
Her requirements and qualifications asan instruciress
are believed to DO of the first order, her experience
in teaching has been considerable. her industry ano al
tention to her school are unusual, her mode OF lmPart.
iug information and instruction is natural and snc-
csssful, and her manner of treatment and govern
ment is we'll calculated to gain and secure the con-
6dence, respect and good will of those entrusted 10 hei
care. Such is her reputation among those who have
had thu best opportunity Of being Intimately acquainted
with her mode Of teaching and conducting her school
Ihaye never known any person who was well &C
ouainted with the School who did not form a very high
opinion of its merits and those who have patronized 1t
have awarded it to the most unqualified expression o
their confidence and appreciation. 1 consider thu
School worthy Of the highest confidence and liberia
patronage.
Very Respectfully,
WIN, N. CAMPBELL.
