charge Of the Principal, 1t is located in a
pleasant and retired. part Of the town, and in
the vicinity Of respectable families, where
boarding can be had on reasonable terms.
With the view to prevent extravaganza, TO
repress the love of display, and the spirit Of
rivalry in dress, the following uniform has been
prescribed:

of the same, with white or brown linnen apron.

each. Iii to be understood, however, that

The scholastic year consisting of ten months.
will be divided into two sessions of five months
ach, commencing respectively on the first Of

Canton is one Of the healthiest places in the
outh during the whole year; and for morality,
ltelligence and refinement, its citizens may
ell compare with those of any interior town j
the State.
II is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
build up and permanently establish an insti- -
ton of the highest order-one which will
OIu gIatuilous instruction IN the useful and -
I'D branches of education, and at the same \
on moderate terms, all the advantages to L
had any where else of amore thorough and
tended course; thus sparing our people the
pense and sacrifice Of feeling incurred in
lding their children abroad. Situated as our
cademy is, in the midst of a wealthy and
population, at a healthy point, con- m,
cted with all the principal places of the
ate by stage and mail facilities, and con-
cited by competent teachers, we see no
ID reason why our most sanguine hopes
,,uld not be realized. We call on our fellow
e our Academy a fair trial, and if fonnd
to sustain an institution here At
ne, where they can watch over the health.
