This Institution is peculiarly adapted to meet The
wants of those parents who wish for their daughter:
careful and thorough training in all the branches
Of solid and polite education. Many parents prefer
10 place their daughters in select circle of pupils
rather than among the crowded inmates of large
institutions To such this Seminary offers peculiar
inducements by its perfect adaptation to their wants
It furnishes all the advantages offered in the mcs
extensive educational establishments. while it sc:
cures at the same time degree OF careful end
thorough training, hardly attanabe under other cir
cumstances.
To aid in the instruction of the pupils, no expense
has been spared in building and furnishing the In.
stitute. Its Maps; Charts, Cabinets, Chemical and
Philosophical apparatus, and Pianos have cost seve'
raj thousand dollars. These are regarded as helps
in the work of education, and in the hands OF in.
dusirous and experienced teachers they are Of great
assistance Their presence is also sufficient guar
anee, that on the part Of the Teachers, there is
liberality of view and an earnesness OF purpose, IN
the work of education without which success is
never attainable. The great ends which are pro-
posed to bo accomplished, demand the use OF the
best means, and these are literally furnished.
Five wears of prosperity and success sufficiently
demonstrate that the claims which are made by the
friends of this Institute for its superiority in all that
pertains to excellence, are not without foundation.
