THE CANTON FEMALE ACADEMY,

as A ssstants. Mr.. Anderson is o graduate OF
the South Carolina College, and has been en-
gagged in teaching in this and the neighboring
States for several years past. He is teacher
by profession, and by the arrangements made
with him his interest is intimately identified
with the prosperity of the institution over
which he is to preside, He comes recommen-
ded to us by gentlemen of high character and
standing in this State, as an accomplished scht :
lar, gentleman and a notwithstanding
with these qualities talent for maintaining
discipline and happy faculty of imparting
knowledge. Mrs. McFarlan has had long ex-
perence in teaching, and is favorably known
to our community. Mr.. Bode, who has been
heretofore associated with Mr. Anderson, is
represented by him as ga thoroughly educated
German Musician, who has taught for many
years with decided appreciation in several cities
Of the United States;" and his lady is well
qualified to instruct in all the ornamental
branches of female education. Chemical and
Philosophical apparatus, Globes, Maps, &C.,
will be provided
The Academy buildings, now in the course
of erection, and shortly to be completed, will
be spacious and comfortable, and are intended.
besides the School Rooms, for the residence of
the Principal and his family, and the accommo-
daton OF several boarders. With the liberal
means annually at their disposal, it is the inten-
ton of the Trustees, hereafter, to extend the
buildings, SO that all the boarding pupils may
be placed in the family of the Principal, and
| 81, The A ACADEMY
is located in pleasant and retired part of the
town, and in the vicinity of respectable fami-
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms.
With the view to prevent extravagance, a
plain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be
prescribed, of which due notice will hereafter
BE- given: And it will be standing rule, that
no pupil will be permitted to attend dancing or
social parties, either public or private.
| Cantonis one Of the heathiest places in the
South during the whole year; and for morality,
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
we'll compare with those Of any interior town
in the State.
Ii is the aim of the Principal and Trustees
to build up and permanently establish an insti-
tuition of the highest order, in which all the
advantages Of thorough education to be had
any where else can be offered; thus saving to
our people the expense and sacrifice OF feeling
incurred in sending their children abroad. Sit
uated as our Academy is, in the midst of
wealthy and intelligent population, at healthy
point, connected with all the principal places
Of the State by stage and mail facilities, and
conducted by competent teachers, we see no
| good reason why our most sanguine hopes
should not be realized We call on our fellow
citizens Of this and The neighborng counties to
give our Academy a fair trial, and if found
deserving, to sustain an institution here al
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress of their daughters during
their course of MISUNDERSTANDING ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor-
thy Of patronage.
