The course of study will be sufficiently exten-

discipline and Development. thorough course of
mathematical and linguistic studies, which have
direct tendency to enlarge, invigorate, and dis
cipline the mind, will be chiefly relied on to Sc
cure the best results, in this very important de-

education must protest The number of studies
has been doubled in the last thirty years with no
corresponding advancement in good scholarship.
Experience in the art of teaching. with careful
observation of mental development. has wrought
clear conviction, that few studies adapted to
the wants of the youthful mind, and thoroughly
mastered, is preferable to the very extensive but
desultory, iragmentary, and superficial course
usually pursued in Female Seminaries.
The mind does not act clearly or forcibly when
diverted into many channels; does it proceed
so fast. Three studies and one accomplishment
are as many as ought to be pursued at one time
While governed by these principles in training
the intellect. special attention will be given to the
incubation OF sound moral sentiments. to the for
nation of correct habits, purity OF manners and
TO the acquisition of such accomplishments as dis
tinguish social life. That special attention may
De paid by the teachers to this very important
part of female education it is desirable that pupils
from distance, board with the Principal, who
has purchased the large and commodious resi-
dence, designed in its structure for the boarding
department of the Seminary.
Being determined to establish an Institution OF
the highest order, teachers of the best qualiica-
tions will be employed.
