pEING resident Of this locality for the last four

the direction of her school for Young Ladies' founded
in the year 1884, and which terminated only at the
death Of its foundress expect to be able fully a
the expectation of those parents who shall have
confded the education of their children to me- !
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development Of their intelligence, and as far as
may be possible to improve in them those ntellsc.
tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens of free country may one
day call to ell the high stations in government. I
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-
persthon, 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 n-
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 object that is TO offer
hommage to the Great Creator. the architect Of tie
Universe. Our religious motto should then be Ioze-
ration love Of God and our neighbour Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Their food
viii be healthy aud abundant. They shall have for
their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, large and spacious play grounda. In fine,
every thing will be done for the physical and moral
improvement of the students.

will receive once every three months bulletin OF the
