The "Course Of Study" viii be revised; proper
changes made in Text Books additional Teachers
Employed still more efficient means devised to Sc
cure for our bOarders " maternal care" by employ
ing Teachers devoted exclusively to these du-
ties
These improvements, together with the former
cost Of buildings and value of ground al in daily
use for our pupils, win raise the amount invested in
the academy, over 2OO, 600 dollars
TERMs.-The prices Of Board and Tuition have not
been changed in the Academy for at least 25 years.
In view Of the increased cost Of living and the
salaries we have to give to Teachers and also, the
obviously greater advantages secured by these i'm
proyements the following viii hereafter be the pri-
Ces for the Academic year of forty-two weeks:
Board and Tuition in the Preparatory Depart
ments, SEQ; in the Academic, $3.50 and S240; in
the Collegiate S275. Tuition to day pupils in the
Preparatory Department, $50; in the Junior Aca-
demic $40; Senior Academic, $50; in the Collie
giate, SEQ
Tuition includes instruction in al the studies Of
our Regular Course" Penmanship, Practice of
Drawing, mot instruction by the Regular Teachers
all Lectures and the use Of the Apparatus in all De-
psrtments.
The charges for the extra branches remain as
heretofore.
Board includes all that ought to be done for Daugh
tiers by their Parents outside Of the influence and
instruction Of Regular Teaohers-which duties Will
be discharged by Ladies who have nothing else to
, do.
If we admit any distinction between our Teachers,
these Hatrons viii be expected to excel in all that
constitutes the refined, pious and model
Teachers whose energies have been taxed during
the day in the recitation room and the Lady who has
chiefly had charge of this department, have done
much for our Pupils heretofore but I am persuaded
more still can be done. 1t needs the ever present
influence Of mother" in the inner chambers Of
ehilds heart to arrange the materials, balance
the influences and build up a true and noble woman

In what other school in the United States can Pa
rents find such provisions for maternal care?"
Five pupils in our largest rooms and four in all
others, is all receive. This restriction, tho
We have increased our rooms by more than one
third, will reduce family under present num-
Der. We have not been able to receive at least one
hundred applicants during the present year. though
we advertised we could take no more.
The only increase in numbers we provide for in
the Boarding House. is for the interesting and i'm
POrtant Glass Of ParIor BOarders.
The judcious use Of the Bath room, is, in our
opinion, in ITSELF worth the increased charge for
board
In view of all the facts known to our intelligent
patrons, am persuaded they viii not regard the
change of our prices as unreasonable. Any who
may still doubt this subject requested to sus
pend their judgment until they see the Institu-
ton in the order in which we propose to have it by
the first Monday Of next September.
Except with the full school I have in prospect,
could not at these prices venture upon my pre-
sent enterprise.
Instead Of the $50 900 per annum some have guess
ed 1 make here, have satisfied Members of tie
Board of Trustees that my profits have not exceeded
$1,000 year, for the eighteen years have been
connected with the Institution.
We shall have ample room for any Day Pupils
who are likely to apply. We advise those who intend
to patronize the Boarding House, to apply early;
since we cannot be induced to exceed the number We
have named in this Circular.
Our object in the present Circular is to give time
Iy notice of the change in prices and to say to all
our Patrons, that we expect prompt payment of all
bills for Board ard Tuition. The lots furnished by
the Trustees to meet their part of the expense,
yet to be sold: and when all bills now due and 10
be due at the close of this session are paid, shall
still have much to do to meet liabilities. The
7fesent improvements, new furniture, &C., involve
an outlay of over $4,000.
A Circular giving the statistical history Of the
Academy. during our connection with it, and also
our regular Circular relating the future, will be
ready for distribution by the close of the present
session c. D. ELLIOTT
