Greenfield High School
FOR
YOUNG LADIES.

THE Trustees of this Institution, after q
personal acquaintance of more than two
years with the Principal, Rev. L. L. Langs-
| troth, and with his success in teaching, are
able to add their testimony to the high recon-
mendations which were furnished him from
various sources, among others, by the Pro-
fessors of Andover Theological Seminary, and
the Faculty of Yale College. As a scholar,
he sustains an elevated rank, and as a teacher,
he is interesting and thorough, possessing the
happlest qualifications for exerting an eleva-
ting influence on the mind and heart of the
young. Having been Tutor in Yale Col
lego, and having also been much engaged in
the instruction of Young Ladies, he has had
ample opportunity for acquiring experience in
the business of teaching. He is assisted in
the various departments of instruction, by La
dies who have devoted much time to similar
pursuits. While he exercises constant super
vision over the whole system of instruction,
he dovotes the greater portion of every day to
his school: the higher branches in Mathe-
mates, in Ancient Languages and Philosophy,
being under his sole care. Those who remain
in the school sufficient lenght of time, will
be carried through systematic course of study,
and furnished with the opportunity of making,
substantially, the same acquisitions as are
embraced in Collegiate Education.
Instruction will be given in French, BY a
native teacher of superior qualifications, who
will reside in the family, and converse in
French with the pupils. The Institution is
strictly family school, the number of board
ers being limited to twenty five, which enables
the Principal and his Lady, to exercise con-
slant and parental supervision over each
pupil.
The Village of Greenfield, is one of the
| most beautiful and salubrious in the valley OF
| the Connecticut, and is distant only one days
journey from Boston, Albany, and New York,
with each of which cities there is daily com
munication. 1t contains places Of religious
worship for Trinitarian and Unitarian Congre-
gationalists, Episcopalians, and Methodists, at
either of which, the pupils can attend as direc-
ted by their parents.
The building is elegant and spacious, and
surrounded by extensive and ornamental
pleasure grounds, which offer unusual induce
ments to invigorating exercise in the open air.
The situation is believed to be unsurpassed by
any other in New England. The Trustees
feel assured that this school affords unusual
facilities for Il thorough and accomplished
education, combining the solid and useful with
the polite and ornamental. They have mark
ed It's influence on their own daughters, in cul
tivating habits of thought and application, anC
/ in directing their minds TO the highest anC
noblest objects fpursuit. They would there
fore commend it TO parents and guardians, a:
a school to which they may commit their chill
dren and wards with entire confidence. There
are two terms in year, of twenty-five week,
each, and two vacations of four weeks
each.
The next term will commence on the 20
Wednesday of November. Circular, con
tanning terms, &C., will be fusnished on ap
plication to the Principal, or to either Of the
| Trustees
