periods each day to exercise in the open air,
thereby promoting health and increasing mental
vigor. For this purpose considerable extent

49, REMARKS OF TRUSTEES.
The Trustees of the Camden Point Female
AcademV would OHer tHelr nearly cong IdIuid-
tions to the Patrons and Friends upon the sue
cess and prosperity of the Institution during
the present term.
The distinguished principal has abundahtly
sustained the high reputation he had previous
Iy acquired, and has succeeded in inspiring US
and the community generally, with still greater
confidence in his entire qualification to fill so
responsible trust as has been committed to
him.
His powers az a disciplinarian are certainly
unsurpassed, if equalled, by any in the Union;
while his affability, great moral worth, PIety,
freedom from sectarIan bias, his superior liter
ary attainments, his happy method of inspiring a
thirst for knowledge and the great facility with
which he imparts it, all conspire to render him
most admirably suited to the honorable yet try
ing station he occupies. We would cherfuliy
recommend the Institution to all who may have
daughters wards to De educated, as 1T possess
scs so many advantages over similar institutions:
fine healthy country location where no excite
ment or improper influences are calculated to
withdraw the attention from the attainment OF
knowledge.
With full assurace of its success while in such
able hands, we have committed the Academy and
all its interest to the Principal to manage and
regulate as he may deem most advisable.
REMARKS OF THE PRINCIPAL.
The Patrons and Friends of Camden Point Fe-
male Academy will accept my grateful acknoWl-
edgments for the continuance OF their very lIber-
al patronage, and the numerous manifestations
of kindness and confidence which have had the
honor to receive at their hands.
NV station as principal of the Institution is
laborious and responsible one; and feel, when
parents commit their daughters to to be edu-
Gated, that the charge is of the most Interesting
and sacred character, imposing upon me mani
duties, for the faithful discharge of which am
responsible to them, to society and to my God,
With the blessing of Heaven, hope still to
merit their confidence and patronage
The past term has been exceedingly prosper
Gus; we have had larger number of regular
Boarding Pupils than in any previous session.
The vacation during the present summer will
be rather longer than heretofore.
The principal has much outstanding busioess
to settle up, requiring his personal attention
which could not be properly dispatched during
the ordinary acation; added to this, large Boar
ding Schools should n IT commence their exer-
cises till the warm unhealthy weather, usually
had from the 1st to the Goth of September, is
past.
The next Academic year will commence on
Monday, 24th of September, and continue Forty
y Weeks. The term will be divided into two ses-
si0ns OF 20 weeks each, No vacation between
the sessions
