THIS institution was opened for the recep.
ton Of pupils, on the first Of September, 1916
at the house formerly occupied as the LANE
OFFICE, in this town.
Tho location is one Of the most desirable
for an institution of the kind, and retired from
the street, so az to afford all the benefits oil
physical exercise without exposure.
The school room Is large, the dormitory con.
v%enient, pleasant and %airy-the play ground
spacious and shady, and In fine, the situation
for n school is unrivalled. The discipline Of
tho school will be such as kind and judiCious
parents would practice towards their own
aiiIdren.
The principals, grateful for past patronage,
pledge themselves to give their entire care and
attention 10 the moral and physical education
OF such pupils as may be Confded to them,
endeavoring always to render the course of
instruction interesting and pleasant to the
scholars. Their great object will be 10 make
education thorough and freed as far as posi-
BILE from the common routine too often practic.
ed in our schools. Being themselves able to
teach all the following branches without the
assistance Of others, their terms can be made
very reasonable, as IL will be seen by this
prospectus.
The principal has for the last nine years
devoted all her time to the education of fema.
les in both languages. Although born an
American, she Is Of French parents, and the
knowledge OF French and English was acquir.

ing familiar with the French language will

that after n short time they will be able to com.
mence 10 converse In both languages, az the
orettcal and practical knowledge IL combined
