INGToN has been employed as assistant Teacher,

petent Teacher of French have also been secured
Mr.. II. KRAMER, professor Of Music, will give les.
sons on the Piano Forte, and Guitar. He will
make Fayette the place Of his residence, and will
furnish two or three Pianos, and the undersigned,
one, for young ladies to practice on.
: As this institution is designed TO furnish
thorough and systematic course ofinstruction from
the alphabet up, very special attention will be given
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 pracii-
cal importance, and best adapted to their respective
circumstances; avoiding, in all cases, the too
mon error of attempting to instruct them in the
higher branches of SCIENCE before their minds have
been sufficiently prepared and developed by vgor-
Gus exercise in the acquisition of a thorough
knowledge of the more elementary branches. The
prevalent ils IN DlcT
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 o thorough knocl-
edge OF none, is deemed pernciouS and shall find no
place in this Institution. Here, pupils will be re-
CURED rigidly 10 anay and as thoroughly as
possible to understand the principles of every sub
jcct presented for their consideration. Their rea-
sOning powers, their affections and moral faculties
will be called into constant reqrisiion and vigor-
Gus exercise upon objects calculated to elicit Their
activity, and best adapted to promote their harno-
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 own
responsibility; 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-
JUDGES Of others. .H
At the close Of each session pubic examna-
ence OF a committee of Trustees of the College
and Board Of visitors consisting of nine gentle
men whose duty it will be TO report, as well to tie
public, as to the Missouri Annual Conference
such facts relative 10 the institution as they may
deem useful or important.
The undersigned is prepared 10 receive into hi.
family as boarders, some twelve or fifteen Young
ladies', who will be associated WITH and under the
immediate supervision of their instructors out Of
school as well as in it.
AS 1t is desirable that the attention of young
ladies be less occupied about their Dress than cd.
dress, as much economy and plainness in apparel
as is consistent with neatness, is earnestly recon-
mended TO all.
