The Domestic Department will be conducted by

Ample provision will be made for warm and cold
bathing, and other preservatives of health. The
Primary Department will be re-orgauized, and
placed under the care of a suitable Teacher.
The Institute has a Library, a Reading Room,
and n Cabinet of Minerals. The Chemical, Astron-
omical and Philosophical Apparatus is not surpass-
cd by that Of any similar Institution in the South.
The Literary Society Of the Institute sustains a
monthly periodical which is read at the regular
meetings Of the Society. Extensive courses of lee
lures are delivered, accompanied with experimental
illustrations. The Music department is furnished
with ten new and very superior instruments and is
conducted by a gentleman Teacher, aided by four
lady colleagues. Musical Soirees are held month
ly. There is also a large and valuable Organ for
daily religious services. The Bible is regularly
studied, and throughout the whole course, regard is
had to the moral culture of the Student. The young
ladies do not visit the stores nor Post Office, but
make all purchases through the agency of friends.
All letters received pass through the hands of the
Principal, and where there is suspicion of a clan
destine correspondence, the letters are sent unopen-
ed to the Parent or Guardian. The Students do
not 90 abroad without a proper attendant. They
are not allowed to visit, nor to receive calls, nor to
attend any exhibition without permission from the
Principal. They attend divine service on the Sab
bath at such place as the Parent or Guardian may
direct. To prevent rivalry in dress, a simple uni
form is prescribed. There are two sessions of five
months each, commencing on the I'd Wednesday,
of October and March. The vacation is from the
last Thursday in July to the I'd Wednesday in Or
tOber. Students can enter any time and are charged
accordingly. No deduction for tuition will be made
after entering, except in cases of protracted illness
when one half the bill will be deducted. Parents an,
Guardians are earnestly requested not to bring no
remove young ladies on the Sabbath.
