This Institution is peculiarly adapted to meet the
wants Of those parents, who wish for their daughters

OF u solid and puite 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.
1t furnishes all the advantages offered in the most
extensive educational establishments. while it Sc
cures ut the same time a degree of carefu and
thorough training, hardly alianable under other cir
cunisiances.

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
dus,rious and experienced teachers they are OF great
assistance Their presence is alo sufficient guar
antee that on the part Of the Teachers, there is
berality of view and an earneslncss ui purpose, in
