MUSlGAA, DEPAR MEMITo
The Department Of Music is under the super
vision Of one Of the most accurate and accom-
plishcd teachers in the State: and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded for acquiring
a thorough knowledge Of this difficult science.
In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils
in this department. are divided into classes, and
taught on the plan nr PeStalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises. adapted
to train the car. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course OF musi-
cal instruction, they acquire the art of reading
music Will! facility.
They arc required to be regular and systcinat-
c in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation Of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. The
science of Elocution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, witt, great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
bv largo number Of the ladies' ami gentlemen
Of our village. who have invariably expressed
the highcs, degree Of satisfaction. at what they
have heard and seen Of the proficiency Of the
Pupils and the arrangement Of the Institute.
And the Trustr,s nave only TO add in eoncu-
sion. that while in their opinion. there are many
institutions Of learning hescrrcdTy popular ir our
State. yet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge pf MIR. RAY
