MUSICAL DSPAR TM!gN1 r..
The Department of Music is under the super
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
p,ishrd teachers in the State; and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded f"r acquiring
thorough knowledge Of this difficult science.
In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils
in this department are divided INFO classes: and
taught OH the plan of Pcstsiozzl.
They devote much time to exercises. adapted
to train the car. and the voice, and to lmPart an
easy and brilliant execution.
Ii they pursue the prescribed course OF musl-
cal instruction, they acquire the art ot reading
music with facility.
They are required to be regular and systcmat-
ie in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation Of the voice,
receive an unusual degree of attention. The
science of Elocuton is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
BY a large number of the ladies and gentlemen
of our village, who have invariably expressed
the highest degree of satisfaction, at what they
have heard and seen of the proficiency OF the
Pupils and the arrangement Of the Institute
And the Trustees have only to add in conclu'
son that while in their opinion, there are many
institutions Of learning descrvedy popular in oul
State, yet there are none which can furnish
greater or moro substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge OF Mr.. RAY
4oSD.
