THE CANTON FEMALE SEMINARY,

Will be opened on the First Monday in Janu-
airy next, under the superintendent of Mr.
ROBERT ANDERSON, as Principal, and MIS-
McFARLAN and Mr.. PHILIP L. BoDE and Lady
as assistants. Mr.. nderson is 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 pres. de. He comes recommen-
ded to us by gentlemen of high character and
standing in this State, as an accomplished scht-
lar, gentleman and notwithstanding
with these qualities a talent for maintaining
discipline and happy faculty of imparting
knowledge. Mrs. McFarlun has had long ex-
perience in teaching, and is favorably known
to our community. Mr.. Bode, who has been
heretofore associated with Mr.. Anderson, is
represented by him as "a 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-
dation 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
under his immediate charge. The 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 extravaganza, 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.
Canton is one Of the healthest places in the |
South during the whole year; and for morality,
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
well compare with those of any interior town
in the State.
1t is the aim of the Principal and Trustees
to build up md permanently establish an insti-
tuition of the highest order, in which all the
advantages of athorough education to be had
any where can be ofered thus saving to our
people the expense and sacrifice Of feeling in
Cured in sending their children abroad Stu
ated AZ opr Academy is, in the midst of a
wealthy ard intelligent populaton,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 fair trial, and if found
deserving, to sustain an institution here at
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress of their daughters during
their course Of educalion-pledgng ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor-
thy OF patronage.
