Staunton, July II, 1919.
N. Is. 1t is very desirable that pupils from a
distance should board in the family; as Mrs
Shelley VIII thereby be better enabled to promote
their Improvement during the hours not devoted
TO study. For those, however, to whom il would
be more convenient To board elsewhere GOOD board
can be procured in gentee families, and on accom-.
modating terms.
Having for years past enjoyed the benefit OF
Mrs. Sheiieys school, we have from our residence
and our relations TO itas patrons had the most
pie opportunity OF forming a correct estimate of
its character. We deem it but an act of Justice
to express our opinion of its claims TO public ia.
vor. The ability, zeal and diligence of her teach
crs, and the motherly care and vigant circuul-
sPec,lon with which she supervses the conduc,
ana department of her pupils, are worthy of the
highest commentator. We have often witness
sed with admiration the proficiency displayed by
her scholars at her examinations. We are ac-
quaned with no institution where all the parts of
female charlottesville useful and the ornamental
solid attainments and the graceful accomplish
ments, are more happily combined and successful
ly taught. We, therefore, take great pleasure in
commencing it to the notice of parents and guard
ians' and to the patronage of generous public.

'NNtiE undersigned citizens Of Staunton, take
great pleasure in certifying that they have for
several years past been acquainted with the course
ofinstruction pursued at kalorama, as also with
the plan OF conducting the exercises Of the school;
and have no hesitation in expressing the opinion
that no similar institution in the State possesses
superior advantages for imparting both useful
knowledge, and graceful and adylike department
to its pupils. We have generally attended the
annual examinations of the school, and never
without the most unteigncd admiration of The ac-
curate knowledge of the subjects on which they
were examined, displayed by far the greater por-
ton OF the young ladies. In particular we have
often heard learned cergymen express their as
constituent at the proficiency of the senior classes
in that branch of education relating to Sacred
History. Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the conductors of the school, for the assduous
care and perfect success with which they have al
ways superintendent the moral as well as mental
education of the pupils.
