free from all ~sectarian bias-thc pupils being
permitted to attend any place of worship pre-
scrbed by their parents, and the teachers be-
longing to four or five different denominations.
To prevent competition in dress, clothing of
a uniform style and quality has been prescribed,
and jewelry Of every description prohibited.
Vacation holds from Christmas to the lst of
March; but those pupils who remain through
the vacation, are as regularly instructed, if de-
sired, as during term time. All pupils from a
distance are required to board in the Institute,
under the immediate supervision of the teach
ers.
The Principal might refer to hundreds of
prominent individuals throughout the Western

to be entirely unnecessary, after having taught
at the same point, with most signal success,
for nearly twenty years.

There are many Female Seminaries in the
West, in which the expenses of a pupil rlay
be $40 or 500 per session less than the above;
but, in very few of these, it is confidently as
serted, will the fare be found so good-the ca
phal invested so large-and the reputation Of
the Teachers so distinguished.
