N. Is. lt rs very desirable that pupils from a
distance should board IN the family Mrs.
Shelley will thereby be better enabled to promote
their Improvement during the hours no, devoted
to study. For those, however To whom IL would
be more convenlen, 10 board elsewhere rood board
can be procured in gen,ccl families, and ca accom-
modatlng terms.
Having for years past enjoyed the benefit of
Mrs. Shelley school, we have from our residence
and our relations 10 itas patrons had the most am
pie opportunity oil forming a correct estimate of
Its character. We deem il but an act OF Justice
TO express our opinion of its claims TO public ia
vor. The ability zeal and diligence OF her teach
ers, and the motherly care and viuilant circum-
specton with which she supervises the conduc,
and department of her pupils, arc worthy of the
highest commentator. We have often witness
seu VIII, admiration the proficiency displayed by
ner scholars at her examinations. We are ac-
quainted with no institution where all the parts of
female educaton--,he useful and the ornamental.
solid at'ainmcnts and the graceful accomplish
menis, are more happily combined and successful
~ taught. We, therefore, take great pleasure i'm
com'nendlngi 10 the notice of parents and guard
ians' and to the patronage of a generous public.

's'llE undersigned citizens of Staun,on. take
- great pleasure in certifying that they have for
several years past been acquainted with the course
oil instruction pursued at kalorama as also with
'he plan oil conducting the exercises of the school;
and have no hesitation in expressing the oppion
that no similar institution i'm the State possesses
superior advantages for imparting both useful
and graceful and lad lke department
to its pupils. We have generally attended the
annual examinations OF the school, and never
withoat the most unieigned admiration of the ac-
curate knowledge of the subjects on which tlev
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 assiduous
care and perfect success with which they have al
ways superintendent the moral as well as mental
education of the pupils.
