EING resident of this locality, for the last four
A9 teen years, having assisted Mrs. Delaruelle in
The direction of her school for Young Ladies, founded
III the year 1914, 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
conGded the education of their children to me. l
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development Of their intelligence, aud as far as it
may be possible, to improve in them those ntellac
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. l
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 an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the offspring of ignorance and su-
persttion, 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
llcated 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 as to forn
they prove one and the same object, that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Architect Of the
U,,iuerse Our religious motto should then be 1ole-
ration love Of God and our ,eighbor. Every atten-
tion will be bestowed upon the students.-Their food
will be healthy and abundant Phey shall have for
their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, large and 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
