THIS INSTITUTION is beautifully situated
l. in the centre OF the town OF Plaquemine,
between Court, Church and Plaquemine streets.
The buildings are large and commodiouS. ana
the grounds of good ample space for amusement
and healthy exercise. The Institution being
situated within a few minutes walk .. the steam
boat landing, enjoys the advantage OF easy and
frequent access. 1t is conducted by the Sisters OF
Holy Cross, who being wholly devoted TO the
important work of public instruction, spare no
pains 10 improve the hearts of their pupils III vir-
tue and store their minds with knowledge, and
they pledge themselves to return the children 10
their parents improved in virtue and learning.
To impart a thorough education in the highest
sense ofthe word-to train the moral and the in
tellectual being-to d~eyelope sound health and
elegant manners, is an object OF constant atten-
ton. The system of government is mild and
maternal, aiming TO guide rather than 10 drive
the pupils along the path ofduty. The comforts
and dersonal habits OF the young ladies', receive
the same attention as III the most refined family
circle.
