Lake Erie Female Seminary, at Paines-
Vile, Ohio

Mr. EDITOR II had the pleasure Of
attending the examination Of the classes
In this excellent school for young wO-
men, ON Monday and Tuesday OF last
wteS. l heartily wish the fathers aud
mutlers Of all the young women on the
Reserve could have been present and
heard those examinations for then
there would never more be q vacant
room in that Seminary. Monday eve
ming there was q large social reunion
which was highly enjoyed by teachers,
parents. visitors and citizens generally,
until about eight O'Clock when all re-
paired to the spacious chapel, Ia listen to
Compositions, aud vocal and instru-
mental music. There was not what Is
usually denominated "a schoolgirl COM
position" in the whole number. All
were fresh, breezy, we'll written and full
Of beautiful and rich thought. Tues
day the examinations we're in U. S. His
tory, Nat. Philosophy, Algebra, Chem
tstry, Sailust. Modern History and Men
tai Philosophy, in all OF which the
young ladies acquitted themselves well,
and proved the thUrUughness with
which they are taught. This Seminary
ranks among the very highest OF is
class in the whole country. A reference
70 its curriculum Of study will show
that II aims ut thorough education and
solid acquisition, and Is fully equal to
these schools which affect the more am
bilious name Of college" The studies,
together with the social, moial and re-
liginus influences OF the Seminary, fur
nish just such an education as every
young woman needs to tit her for the
highest usefulness and happiness in this
life. There Is nothing seCtarian OF de-
nominational in the religious influences
eIerted, and yet there is always a pure
and healthy religious atmosphere CON
stantly surrounding the pupil. At the
present time there are nearly ninety
young ladies in the Seminary, and all
but about twelve are christians. What
ever helps 70 make the true christian
woman, and the faithful. benevolent
worker I'm the cause OF truth and hu-
mznitv, Is wisely inculcated 50 that
the pupils feel that they have q higher
mission than that Of seeking self-indul-
gence, or ease and pleasure Every
thing about the Seminary and its lOcali-
ty cOmmends il to the favorable notice
OF the public. It's terms are but a frac-
ton Of what It costs 20 send q young
lady to-any Of our fashionable Semiua-
ries. For the small sum OF $50, this
school furnishes room, board and tui-
ton. which cost from three hundred 70
six hundred dollars in another class OF
schools. If farmers, mechanics mer-
chants, preachers and all other parents
having only limited incomes, would Le-
stow q little serious thought upon the
fact that there Is within q few hours ride
a Seminary that will, for $50 per yea,
give their daughters as full and complete
an education as the rich man can get 5or
his $500 or 81 ZOO dollars, / am sure they
would hasten to bestOW that blessing
upon their daughters by sendilg them
to the Lake Erie Female Seminary.

ian and other accomplishments, or rath-
er, embellishments, are all very well, 10
they are supported by these solid, forms
Of education that eUery woman ought 70
have 10 make her most useful and hap
DIV in whatever station in life a wise
Creator may see ft O. place her. But
for nine out of ten OF the young women
Of America, these accomplishments are
Of little or no practical use after the seri-
Gus responsibility and duties d life are
taken up. Then they all, rich and poor,
need the help of a true, wOmanly educa-
ton, which viii give heart and courage
to battle with the trials and work OF this
matter-oEfact world. Such an educa-
ton may be- obtained at the Lake Ere
Seminary. I can confer no greater hvor
on the young woman 81 this part Of
Ohio, than TO urge them 10 attend that
school. And II any One Is blessed with
q liberal spirit, which Is seeking 70 de-
velop itself in noble deeds, let him So
lect some worthy but poor young wo-
man and educate her at this Seminary.
He could not make a better use OF .
little money. One large hearted chris
tisn gentleman Is this year paying the
expenses Of ten young women in that
Institution. Reader, will you nOt send
al least one pupil next year!
