THIS institution was opened for the recep
tion of pupils, on the first of September, 1916
at the house formerly occupied as the LAM
OFFICE, in this town.
Tho location is one Of the most desirable
for an institution of the kind, and retired from
the street, so as to afford all the benefits o
physical exercise without exposure.
The school room is large, the dormitory con,
%venient, pleasant and airy-the play ground
spacious and shady, and in fine, the situation
for a school is unrivalled. The discipline oil
the school will be such as kind and judicious
parents would practice towards their own
children.
The principals, grateful for past patronage,
pledge themselves to give their entire care and
attention to the moral and physical education
OF such pupils as may be cOnfided to them,
endeavoring always TO render the course of
instruction interesting and pleasant to the
scholars. Their great object will be to make
education thorough and freed as far as possi-
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 it will be seer by this
prospectus,
The principal has for the last nine years
devoted all her time to the education Of fema.

cd from infancy, and pupils DESTROYS of becom.
ing familiar with the French language will
find it much to their advantage to be in this
institution. The plan of instruction is such,
that after short time they will be able to COM
mence 10 converse in both languages, as the
and practical knowledge Is combined
in the course.
