The many excellent and well supported

that parents are alive to the Importance Of
educating their daughters. Noticing this

in company with a friend, and just at the

respectable patronage now extended, with the
promise of increase from many applicants,
may truly be regarded as proof of confidence
in the faithfulness and ability of its President
and faculty.
