to the instruction of 'young beginners" For
young ladies unable to remain long enough in
school to accomplish the entire course oc studies
presented below, such selections shall be made,
from the course, as may be deemed of most practi-
cdimportance, and best adapted to their respective
circumstances; avoiding in all cases, the too COM
mon error of attempting to instruct them in the
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. The
