The Female Collegiate Institute WAS or@an-
lied in 1888, and has enjoyed without any tluc-
tuations, an unusual share Of public favor, ay-
eraging for the ten years past about one hum
dred pupils.
1t is furnished with Il fine Philosophical and
Chemical Apparatus, a Select Library, &c, and
affords unusual facilities to students of Music,
French, Spanish, and the like. Ii is entirely
free from all s~ectarian bias-the pupils being
permitted to attend any place of worship pre-
scribed by their parents, and the teachers be-
longing to four or five different denominations.
To prevent competition in dress, clothing Of
Il 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
and South Western States, but he ~plcsumes it
to be entirely unnecessary, after having taught
at the same point, with most signal success,
for nearly twenty years.
Georgetown is accessible by daily Stages and
Steamboats, from Louisville and Cincinnati. 1t
is seventeen miles from Frankfort, and is ad-
mitted to be one of the healthiest locations on
the Globe. -

There are many Female Seminarics in the
West, in which the expenses Of a pupil Ray
be $50 or $50 per session less than the above;
but, in very few of these, it is confidently as
serted, will the fire be found so good-the CO.
pital invested SO large-and the reputation Of
the Teachers so distinguished.
