The course of Lectures on Chemistry will fol-
low the regular course of instruction now given
10 the class. MIR. IMBoDEN has had the advan-
tages of practical knowledge derived from the
Laboratory Of Prof. ARMSTRONG, who has eX-
pressed his high opinion of Mr.. IMBoDEN's at
iainments. Ladies Of town may be admitted TO
this course of Lectures by the payment of a
small fee TO aid in deiraying the expenses of en-
Perlments, which will accompany the whole
course.
Mr.. SMITHS Lectures on Church or Sacred
History will also be open TO the Ladies of town.
The course of studies embraces liberal Educa-

assistants the last year of their residence at the
school.
~ Parents who propose entering their daugh-
ters during the year, are reminded that the serer-
al courses IF Lectures WiU commence on The FIST of
January, and there will be special advantage
In commencing with them. Indeed the Begin
ming Of the year commences some new arrange
menis In the classes which renders il most suit
able time for the pupil to enter. The Principal,
therefore, would urge parents to notice this adj
vice.
10 correct some msapprehensons, 1t is stated,
that although the school is somewhat large i'm
numbers, there is not, and rarely ever has been
since It's organization, more than fifteen scholars
to one Teacher. In this feature of its organza-
ton, II has the advantage of most others, if not
OF erery OTHER public school in the Valley of
Virginia.
The Academic year commences on the frs,
monday OF September and closes on the last
week in June. Vacation, July and August.
The Academic year is divided into two ses-
sons of fire months each. The first session clo-
SEES on the first OF February and the second on
the last of June. There is no vacation between
them. few days Of recess only are given at
Christmas.
Pupils may enter at any time, and are charged
from the time they enter No deductions are
made for absence unless in cases of sickness, or
strict necessity.
The most respectable families in town are
willing to accommodate young ladies as board
ers, and parents will find no difficulty in procur.
ing arrangements, with the best maternal super
vision, for their daughters. Application may be
made to the Principal or any of the Trustees.
