NASHVILLE FEMALE ACApEMY.

A new Chapel so by IS f.; 50 rooms for thu
use Of the Boarding family the present building
somewhat changed and thoroughly repaired and al
if possible heated with steam hot and cold Oatg
and bath rooms IN all parts Of the house; cooking
and washing arrangements in the best modern style;
the whole house furnished anew old Musical Instru-
ments replaced; new Philosophical and Chemical
Apparatus, constitute the material improvements al
ready commenced and which will be in complete or
der by the first Monday of September next
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 more Teachers devoted exclusively to these du-
ties.
These improvements, together with the former
cost Of buildings and value of ground all in daily
use for pupils, viii raise the amount invested in
the Academy, over 200, 900 dollars.
TERMs.-The prices Of Board and Tuition have not
been changed in the Academy for at least % 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
provements the following will hereafter be the pr-
ces for the Academic year of forty-two weeks:
Board and Tuition in the Preparatory Depart
ments, 5000; in the Academic, $3.50 and $40; in
the Collegiate S275 Tuition to day pupils in the
Preparatory Department, $50; in the Junior Aca-
demic, $40; Senior Academic, $50; in the Cole
giate, 500
Tuition includes instruction in all 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-
Partments.
The charges for the extra branches remain as
heretofore.
BOardincludes all that ought to be done for Daugh-
tiers by their Parents outside of the influence and
instruction Of Regular Teachers-Which duties will
be discharged by Ladies who have nothing else to
do.
If We admit any distinction between our Teachers
these Matrons win be expected to excel in all that
constitutes the refined, pious and model woman
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 am persuaded,
more still can be done. 1t needs the ever present |
Influence Of a mother" in the inner chambers Of |
a chlds heart to arrange the materials, balance /
the influences and build up true and noble woman |
in whose tongue is the law of kindness"
In what other school in the United States can Pa
rents find such provisions for maternal care?" |
Five pupils in largest rooms AID four in all |
others is all we can receive. This restriction, tho
we have increased our rooms by more than one
third viii reduce our family under our present mum
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 Class of Paror Boarders
The judicous use of the Bath room, is, in our
opinion in itself, worth the increased charge fer
board.
In view Of all the facts known to our intelligent |
paarons, am persuaded they viii not regard the !
change of ON prices as unreasonable. Any who |
may still doubt this subject are requested to sus-
pend their judgment until they can 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 1 have in prospect, |
I could not at these prices venture upon my pre-
sent enterprise.
Instead Of the $50, cooper annum some have guess
ed I make here, have satisfied Members Of Il |
bodN VI 4AotNSe ttt my lloutS nave LOL tACetteA
$1,000 year. for the eighteen years I have been |
connected with the Institution.
We shall have ample room for any Day Pupils .
who are likely apply. We advise those who intend
to patronize the Boarding House, to apply early; |
since we be induced to exceed the number We
have named in this Circular.
Our object in the present Circular is to give time
ly notice Of the change in prices and to say to all
our Patrons, that expect prompt payment of all .
bills for Board and Tuition. The lots furnished by
the Trustees to meet their part Of the expense, are
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 our liabilities. Tie
present 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
sssson. C. D. ELLIOTT
