SELECT SCHOOLS.
The Male Academy and Female Semin

j ~ will Dro volente, commence their Fall Ses-
sions the first Monday in September.
The school year consists of two sessions OF q
weeks each; the tuition payable quarterly as hereto
fore. Pupils can commence atany time, though II Is
exceedingly desirable and important that they enter
at the beginning of the term. when subjects OF study
are begun and classes organized for the Session.
No pupil will be received for less time than half
Session. Deduction will be made for absence in
case of protracted illness.
The Seminary comprises two departments, PRlMA-
Ry and AcADEMIcAL, occupying distinct yet contigu-
apartments, being under general supervision,
and constituting I'm reality but one schools thu studies
OF the Primary Department being preparatory TO the
more advanced ones OF the Acadenical course.
The Academcal Department is arranged into three
classes, characterized by the branches studied by
them respectively, and denomnated for convenience
sake, the Junior, Middle and Senior Glasses.
JUNIOR STUDIES-Arlthmetic. Geography, Ancient
and Modern History. Eng. Grammar, Watts on the
Mind, and Natural Philosophy.
MIDDLE CLASs-Arithmetic (finished,) Algebra.
Natural History, Botany, Chemistry, Astronomy,
An atomy, & Physiology
SENIOR CLASs-Algebra tfinished,l Geometry Men.
tai and Moral Philosophy, Rhetoric Logic, Natural
Theology and Evidences of Christianity.
The above course is the more common, and in our
judgment one which should, in its general outlines
be pursued by those desiring systematic and thor
ough education.
The Male Academy, designed more particularly
for those studying the classics, and higher English
branches, will be conducted on the same plan and
terms as during the past year.
VOCAL MUsC-A course Of forty lessons, two each
week. will be given out of school hours. the ee
mentary principles of vocal music for those who
not members OF the day school as well as for those
who are. Those who have never studied music "a q
science, will find the course adapted to them.
