usual elementary branches includes all the higher
studies pursued in the most approved northern SEM
naries. The discipline is mild and afectonate, yet
decided and is maintained by appeals TO the affec-
tons and conscience of the pupil; it is designed by
proper development and cultivation of the better
qualities of the heart to bind more affectionaely the
pupil to her teacher and by it to secure obedience
