l. I'D feen years, having assisted Mrs DeIarueile in
the direction of her school for Young Ladies' founded

death Of its foundress expeeefo be able fully to
swer the expectation of these parents who shall have
. confided the education of their children to me. I
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development Of their nteligenca anda far as it
may be possible to improve in them those inteec-
tua qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens Of free country may one
day call to fill the high stations in government
shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers of families. Foe this pur
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the offspring of ignorance and SUI
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
Eculcated in their young minds. The belief IN one
God is as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which we honorthe Divinity dier as TO orm'
they prove one and the Object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the ATchtect Of tie
U,tiyerse Our religious motto should then be Tote
ration, lossvaf God and aeiyhbor Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Their food
