one teacher is employed, 1t 10 impossible, for want OF
time, for the teacher to devote that constant, personal at
tention tina, is needed. Iu such schools, the little pupil in
music is necessarily .ent to the piano to learn and Prac.
ten scholars, and q half hour only devoted BY each "a
music. the teacher being present, Eve hours Of the teach
cr's time will be consumed, and but little left for the in
s,ruction in other studies. To this may be traced many
OF tue complaints Of Female Schools.
The grea, object OF my Scholastic secure the constant
personal attention of the Teachers to every Department
For this purpose. two teachers are employed. One to at
tend to the ordinary English Branches. including Ma,he
mates and the Sciences, and the other TO Music, French
and Ornamental Branches. Miss E. 4. SCOTT will again
have charge Of the rrst Department. By her fidelity and
her ~aniability Of character. she secures the love OF all
her pupils; and from my own examinations, ! know thai
those under her instruction progress with extraordinary
rapidity and proficiency.
In the other Department, embracing Music, French, and
the Ornamental Branches. Miss IRENE KSAurr is cnSss'
ed, a lady educated with great care. As 4 teacher.
she has given the highest satisfaction TO her employer and
patrons. All that hear OF her 10 exceedingly conpl'
inen,ary. Observe, that in Music the Young Ladies' take
their lessons invariably in the presence OF the Instructor,
and then retire 10 another Piano TO practice.
frequently examine the young ladies, especially on
such branches as arc generally in Female Schools, very
imperfectiy learned. When this is to take place is not
generally known by them. The consequence Is that they
are always prepared.
In closing, | feelit due to the Young Ladies who have
attended this School. 10 express my grateful appreciation
of their uniform kindness to each other, and 10 every
member Of my family. Their extraordinary decorum,
their handsome observance of those social prophecies
which contribute 80 much to the or nanent of female So
ciety, their diligent application to their duties, and their
proficiency, merit nare than ordinary praise.
When notified on$xhst day Studcnts will reach Blacks
