AS this institution is designed 10 furnish a
thorough and systematic Of instruction from
the alphabet up, very special attention will DO given
to the instruction of "young beginners" For
young ladies' unable to remain long enough in
presented below, such selections shall be made,
from the course, as may be deemed Of most practi.
cal Importance and best adapted to their respective
circumstances; avoiding, in all cases, the too com.
mon error OF attempting TO instruct them in tho
higher branches Of science, before their minds have
been sufficiently prepared and developed by vigor.
Gus exercise in the acquisition of thorough
knowledge of the more elementary branches. Tho
TOO prevalent practice OF permitting pupils TO mem
oriSe the language of hooks, without comprehend
ing its import, and to run specifically over the
whole encyclopedia of science, acquiring mere
smattering Of each branch and thorough knoul-
edge of none, is deemed perncious, and shall find no
place an this institution. Here, pupils will be re-
quired rigidly to anal we, and as thoroughly as
possible to understand the principles of every sub
ject presented for their consideration. Their rea.
soning powers, their affections and moral faculties
will be called into constant requisition and vigor.
Gus exercise upon objects calculated to elicit their
activity, and best adapted to promote their harmo-
NOUS and extensive Development In short, they
shall be aided, and required to think and reason and
Judge, and act for themselves, and upon their oun
responsibilities and not merely, to repeat, mechan.
ically, from memory, the dictums Of either men or
books, which they do not comprehend, or regulate
their conduct by the Judgement the whims, or pre-
iudces Of others. ..-s

ence of committee of Trustees of the College,

The undersigned is prepared to receive into his
family as boarders, some twelve or fifteen Young
ladies'. who will be associated with, and under the
immediate supervision of their instructor. out of
school as well as in it. ~ rH -
As it is desirable that the attention of young
ladies be less occupied about their Dress than adj
dress, as much economy and painness in apparel
as is consistent with neatness, is earnestly recon-
mended to all.
