It is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
to build up and permanently establish an insti-
tuition of the highest order--one which will
afford gratultous Instruction in the useful and
solid branches of education, and at the same
time, on moderate terms, all the advantages to
be had any where else of more thorough and
extended course; thus sparing our people the
expense and sacrifice Of feeling incurred in
sending their children abroad. Situated as our
Academy is, in the midst Of a wealthy and
intelligent population, at q healthy point, con-
nected with all the principal places of the |
State by stage and mail facilities, and con-
Quoted 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 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
heir course Of education-pledgfng ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor-
hy OF patronage. M ..a
