REING resident of this locality, for the last four
- teen years, having assisted Mrs. Delaruelle ir
the direction of herschool for Young Ladies' founded
in the year 1884, and which terminated only at the
death Of its onndress, expect to be able fully to
swer the expectation of those parents who shall have
conided the education of their children @ me-
will do every thing that depend upon me b assis,
the development Of their intelligence, and far as it
may be possible to improve in them those ntellec.
tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens eta free country may one
day call to Gil the high stations in government. 4
shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers Of families For this pur-
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the offspring of ignorance and su
perstition her ordinary companion.
But knowledge Of science, the exercise of the
polite arts will not suffice by themselves for
plete education. Religious ideas should also be in
culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
God is as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which we honor the Divinity differ to form
they prove one and the same object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Architect of the
U,siuerse Our religious motto should then be Iole-
ration, loue of God and our ,seighbor Every atten
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Theirfo food
