| seminary.-The Autumn Term of this insti-
tution opens to-day under the most fattering
auspices We understand that the boarding
department is already fan to its utmost capaci-
ty, while the number of dayscho'ars is very
large. 1t cannot be otherwise than most graft
flying to those gentlemen who have been instru-
mental in founding this institution of learning
10 our midst, to see their labors so soon and so
fully appreciated, and their anticipations, in the
very start as it were, ripen into fruitition.
This immediate success may be attributable
to two causes--the great demand for such an
institution, ana probably the greater Of two
causes, the popularity and emminent qualfica-
lions of the Lady who has taken charge of it as
Principal. As teacher and educator Of young
ladies' Mrs CRAWFORD, is said to have no
superior, and her assistants have all been cho-
sen with sole reference to those qualifications.
There is one point that should not be over
looked though it may not come under the edu-
cational, exclusively. Everybody who knows
anything of Boarding Schools, knows tie i'm
portance of the housekeeping department, to-
the health, happiness and moral and inelectu
al progress of the pupii-. With this view of
the subject, we can congratulate the young la
dies who are to make home at St. Claire Hall,
as well as their parents and friends, on the fact
that Mrs. JULIA FRANCS, q lady of large ex-
perience and notable reputation, has been in
duced to accept Tie situation Of Housekeeper at
the Seminary.
We understand that the trustees of the Semi
nary in view Of the number of applications for
scholarships already received that cannot be re-
ceived for want of accommodations, are already |
making arrangements for the erection, at an
early day, of another large building for the
Seminary.
We take the following fiattering notice of the
Semin airy from the Northeastern Church pub
shed in Chicago, and edited by Rev. H. NJ.
THOMPSON, Prof. of Ecclesiastical History, Ma
,hotah Theological Seminary
KENosHA SEMINARY.-We call attention to
the advertisement, in another column, armour
cling the opening of the Second Term of ST.
CLAIRE's Hall, at Kenosha on the 18th of Sep
Lember.
We attended the exam nations at the close of
the First Term, on Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, and were delighted with the evil |
dences of thorough teaching then exhibited. The |
opening term was a short one of only ten weeks |
and, in some sort, merely tentative. 1t has fully
justified, however, the hopes Of the friends OF |
The Seminary. The accomplished ladies CON
Quoting the institution are quite sure 10 build |
up a successful school.
The Fall Term will open quite full, we under
stand. Those who are thinking of sending
daughters will need to apply early, as, until the
completion OF the new building, the number of
ooarders must be limited. Next summer the
capacity of the School will be trebied
We confess to great interest in this new ed
lcational enterprise SO near cur city. We are
'ure it only needs to be known in order to be
abundantly patronized, from Chicago esp ecially.
But two hours ride over the most pleasant road /
,arries one to the beautifully shaded streets of
xenosha, and a few minutes walk from the
iepot and the lovely grounds of the Seminary
Ire reached. The institution could not have
been more judiciously located in the North
vest. We see no reason why, with proper
an institution may Dot be built up
1t Kenosha for girls, quite as abundanty sue
,essful and useful as Racine College has been
or boys. That at least is he hope and en-
leavor of those who have begun this enterprise
