COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
FOR YOUNG LADIES (!
REV. CHARLES A. RAYMOND,
Drsypoinn1
Principal.

HNHE Second Session Will commence on the !
i 9th of January 1852.
The Trustees congratulate Themselves, their
friends and the public, on W hat they now con-
slider the permanent establishment OF an lnsttu-
ton of learning Of so high character in their
District. The benefits which their own children,
with others, have experienced during the past
Session, enables them with the greater conf
dence. to recommend the Institution to the pat
ronaec of the community.
The School was opened on the 18TH OF Sep
tember last, with tllirty-one Pupils, and has
since been gradually increasing. 1t is confident.
~ expected that the number in attendance will
be greatly increased during the next Session.
The Institute building now contains seven
rooms. all of Which have been built, aud are
used, for purposes of Instruction. .
A fine apparatus; large collection OF Maps;
Anatomical Charts, Globes, &c; Museum OF
Natural History: Cabinet of Minerals and
Shells: furnish unusual facilities for acquiring
practical knowledge of the different branches
of Science.
The course of Study is of an elevated eharac-
ter, and more comprehensive. thar that ot most
female institutions of the highest reputation.
The PaJycIpAI devntes the whole Of his time
to the super :isiun and instruction Of the various
classes.
The Assistants are experienced in their diife-
rent Departments, and those only OF known sue
cess in teaching are employed.
The Acadcmical year is divided into Sessions
of ii weeks each. 1t is Of great Importance
that the student be present at the commence
rnent of the Session. The Classes are then
formed, and few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

MUSICAL DEPAR T Mem T /,
The Department of Music is under the super
visiun of one Of the most accurate and accom-
p!shrd teachers in the State: and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded fr 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 Of Pcs.alozzi.
They devote much time to exercises. adapted
to train the car. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
II they pursue ilIe prescribed course Of musi-
cal instruction. they acquire the art of reading
music with facility.
They arc required to he regular and systcmat-
ic 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, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visitcsf
BY large number Of the ladies and gentlemen
Of our village, who have invariably expressed
the highest degree of satisfaction, at what they
have heard ard seen Of the proficiency of the
Pupils and the arrangement of the Institute.
And the Trustees have only TO add in c"ncu-
sion, that while in their opinion, there are many
institutions of learning descrvedIy popular in our
State. yet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to Young
Ladies' than that under the charge Of Mr.. Ray
MoSD.
