THB CANTON FEMALE SEMINARY,
Will be opened on the First Monday in Janu-
ary next, under the superintondance of Mr.
RoBsRr ANDERSON, as Principal, and Mis-.
McFARIAN and Mr.. PHILIP l.. BoDE and Lady
as Assistants. Mr.. Anderson is a 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 a 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 m recommen-
ded to US by gentlemen of high character and
standing in this State, as an accomplished scht-
lar, a gentleman and Notwithstanding
with these qualities a talent for maintaining
discipline and a happy faculty Of imParting
knowledge. Mrs. McFarlan 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 ga thoroughly educated
German Musician, who has taught for many
years with decided appreciation in several cities
Of the United S%tates;" 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 borders. With the liberal
means annually at their disposal, it is the inten-
lOn 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 a 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 a standing rule, that
no pupil will be permitted to attend dancing or
social parties, either public or private.
Cantonis one Of the hcalthiest places ii 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.
II is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
to build up md permanently establish an instl-
tuition of the highest order, in which all the
advantages Of a thorough education to be had
any where can be offered; thus saving to our
people the expense and sacrifice of feeling in
Cured in sending their children abroad. Stu
ated as our Academy is, in the middle of a
wealthy and intelligent population, at a 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 neighboring cOuntiesto
give our Academy a 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 educatiOn-pledging ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor-
thy Of patronage.
