I'D teen years, having assisted Mrs Dearuelle 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
swer the expectation of those parents who shall have
confded the 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 intelec-
tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
ief mem Hhanthe citizens uf 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 aud good fathers of families. For this pur
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required; education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas the offspring Of ignorance and su
perstition, her ordinary companion.
But a knowledge of science, the exercise of the
polite arts will not suffice by themselves for COM
araete 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 object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Architect Of the
Universe. Our religious motto should then be lole-
ration, loue Of God and our eighbor. Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students.-Tfer food
will be healthy and abundant. They shall have for
their recreation and the exercise ssary to their
health, large and spacious play grounds. In fine,
every thing will be dose for the physical and moral
Improvement of the students.
