THE AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY

The Annual Examination Of the Pupils of this
Institution, under the direction of the Rev. r. w.
BAILEY. was attended on the three last DAYS Of
June The classes were examined i'm the minute
analysis and philosophy of Grammar and Rhetoric,
IN Arithmetic. IN Modern and Ancient Geography,
IN History, IN Natural and Moral Philosophy. in
oneihistry, Botany, Astronomy, Geometry aud Al
gebra-in the Latin and French Lanyuagcs. and in
MUSIC as science. 1t is enough TO say that, by
general opinion, these examinations decidedly sur
passed the examinations of this school on any for
mer year. The general order of the school, and
'he evidence given of sound instruction and men
TAI improvement, has laid new claim to the conf
dence and patronage of the public.
The course of study has now been reduced to a
system, and the classes arranged in four depart
inents. AT the completion of this course, the Pu-
