DEING resident of this locality for the last four
I'D teen years, having assisted Mrs. Delaruele in
the direction of her school for Young Ladies' founded
in the year 1874 and which terminated only at the
death Of its foundress expect to be able fully to an
swer the expectation of those parents who shall have
contided the education of their children to me. l
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development Of their intelligence, and as 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. 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 Dc in
culcated in their young minds. The belief IN one
God is as rational as it is necessary: Though the
rites by which honor the Divinity differ as to form,
they prove and the same object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the architect Of the
Universe. Our religious motto should then be 1ole-
ration, love of God and aeighbor Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Their food
will be healthy and abundant. They shall have for
their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, largeand spacious play grounds 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
health and progress Of th cir children.
