~. q. 1t is very desirable that pupils from a
distance should board in the family as Mrs.
Shetfey will thereby be better enabled to promote
their improvements during the hours not devoted
to study For those, however,, 70 whom il would
be more convenient to board elsewhere, good board
can be procured in gcntcel families, and ON accom-
modatIng terms.
Having for years past enjoyed the benefit of
Mrs. Shefley's school, we have from our residence
and our relations to it as patrons, had the most ann
pie opportunity of forming a correct estimate Of
IT'S character. We deem il but an act Of justice
to express our opinion Of its claims 70 public Ia
vor The ability. zeal and diligence Of her teach
ers' and the rnotherly care and vigant circum-
specton with which she supervises the conducs
and department of her pupils, are worthy Of the
highest connfendation. We have often witness
sed with admiration the proficiency displayed by
her scholars at her examinations. We ac-
quanted with no institution where all tho parts OF
female educaton-the useful and the ornamental
solid attainments and the graceful accomplish
ments, are more happily combined and successful
~ taught: We, therefore, take great pleasure in
commenting it to the notice of parents and guard.

'ENIIE undersigned citizens OF Stanton, take
- great pleasure in certifying that they have for
several years past been acquainted with the course
,t instruction pursued at kalorama, as also with
he plan OF conducting the exercises of the school,;
IND have no hesitation in expressing the opinion
hat no similar institution in the State possesses
superior advantages for imparting both useful
knowledge, and graceful and lad ylike department
o its pupils. We have generally attended the
annual examinations of the school, and never
"ttnout the most unieIgned admiration oil the ac-
'urate knowledge OF the subjects on which they
we're examined, displayed by far the greater por-
ion Of the young ladies' In particular we have
'iten heard learned clergynen express their as
enlistment at the proficiency of the senior classes
n that branch of education relating to Sacred
history. Too much praise can:.ot be awarded to
he conductors of the school, for the assiduous
ARE and perfect success with which they have all
ways superintendent the moral as well as mental
education of the pupils.
