DEING resident Of this locality, for the last four
I'D teen years, having assisted Mrs. Delaruee in
the direction of her school for Young LADIES' founded
in the year 1874, and which terminated only at the
death Of its oundress expect to be able fully to an
swer the expectation Of those parents who shall have
confded tAe education of their children to me. I
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development OF their intelligence and far as it
may be possible, to improve in them those inteec-
tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens Of free country may one
day call to fll the high stations in government, I
shall do al that depend upon me 20 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 COM
plete education. Religious ideas should also be in
culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
God is as rational as it issnecessary. Though the
rites by which we honor the Divinity differ as to form,
they prove one and the object that is to Offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Archtect Of the
U,.iyerse. Our religious motto should then be 1ole
ration, love Of God and our aaeighbor Every atten-
ton viii be bestowed upon the students food

their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, large and spacious play grounds In fine,
