is located in the west part of the town, at
about a mile and q half from the DEPOT. II
isa graceful and substantial structure of
brick, fitted up in appropriate style, capa-
BILE of accommodating two hundred and
fifty pupils. The surroundings are charm
ing, the ground extensive, and laid out with
excellent taste. This tnstitetioh is CON
Quoted on tho Mount Holyoks principle
All the teachers and pupils board in tie es-
adjustment. The family and school are so
organized that they form constituent parts
of the same whole, each advancing the in
terests of the other, and both uniting to pro-
mote the improvement and happiness of the
household. All the members of the school
aid TO come extent in the domestic work Of
the family. The portion Of time thus occu-
pied is so small that it does not retsrd their
progress in study, bnt rather facilitates by
its invigorating influence. 1t is no part of
the design of this Institution to teach young
iddies domestic work, as home is the proper
place for the daughter to receive instruction
on this important subject It is designed
to furnish to young ladies all the requisites
for a thorough education, and recognizes no
distinction but that of talent and merit.
