Philosophical Plan.
In this Seminary we have been led to adopt
the Philosophic plan of each Professor and his
class devoting their whole time and energies to
a single study, until completed. We have been
led to this by seeing so many students
disheartened, or rendered superficial by being
required to carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
quired to hear so many recltations and the time
was so broken up that it was out of the question
TO give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In'introducing this method we ex-
pected to be able to make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are we
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
ticular, but we are accomplishing a great deal
more in the same time, as well as doing it much
better. In graduating, one-third of the time
and expense is saved, matter of great consider
alton TO every one. After thoroughly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
Scientific Course in two, instead of three years.
as heretofore required; devoting three months
to Algebra, two to Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one month each to all the other stud
les. Our course is full and practical, and the
time allotted to each study enable us TO do vast
ly more with II than is usually done. We ex-
plain this ON the principle, that men show the
greatest results in a given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing. 1t has
been claimed that students devoting their whole
time to one study would become weary, but we
find instead of this being true that the student
having an opportunity to concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as a
result of his success an enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools: the student be-
comes genuine philosopher IN search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired. Classes for Fall and early Winter, will
be formed September lith, October 18th, and
November 9Th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9Th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics. By our plan we propose 10 make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing to
enter it, would do well to engage rooms soon-
The department of Music and Painting, are
now offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short, but the
most practical and useful. All is left out that
will not De practiced in woman's appropriate
sphere. And they are made so thorough, and
such a love of science is induced that they will
carry it into and adorn every department oflife;
and not as Is too frequently done lay all aside
as soon as they graduate.
