/ D teen years, having assisted Mrs. nearueile in
the direction of her school for Young Ladies' founded
in the year 1874, and which terminated ony ct tae
death ofits foundress, pect to be able fully to
swer the expectation fthose 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 far
may be possible to improve in then those :ntellec-
tual Qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens of free country may one
day call to gil the high stations in governments. l
shall do all that depend upon 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 8 knowledge Of science, the exercise Of the
polite arts will not suffice by themselves for
plete 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 form,
they prove and the same object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator the -drch:teet of the
Uniuerse. Our religious motto should then be 1Gle-
ration, loue Of God aud our ,aeighbor Every .tten
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Theirfo food

their recreation and the exercise esary to their
health, large and spacious play grounds. In line,
every thing will be done for the physical and moral
improvement of the students.
