The Scholastic year commences on the
second Monday in September, and termi-
mates on the first Wednesday in August
An aflectionate, but firm care is constantly
exercised over the young ladies'; and in Or
der to advance their morality and polite de-
pertinent, it is required that they be attentive
to the rules and regulations adopted for their
Improvement, and for good order.
No visits are received or paid, unless au-
,horzed by parents. Episolary correspon-
dence is subject to the same regulation, and
liable to inspection before delivery.

a knife and fork, (too, if convenient large

ell articles belonging to their wardrobe, be
marked in full.
With regard to Dress, parents are left to
their own choice. 1t may, however be we'll
TO observe, that from four to six changes of
linen are required, and a neat and respecta.
bic supply, of rather dark color, and suitable
to each season, asjewery and all expensive
superAuous clothing are quite unnecessary
and useless. A pink sun-bonnet for sum-
mer, and hood and cloak or shawl for their
daily walks in winter. 1t is required that all
letters addressed to the young ladies be post
paid.
The location is proverbially healthy as
the patrons of the School can testify.
