This institution maintains the efficiency
of its educational advantages. The do
nestle training of the girls is excellent,
and their school room education is unsur-
passed by any institution in the land. 1t
is to be regretted, however, that the par
ents ofsome of the pupils do not pay their
school bills more promptly.
Those parents and guardians who send
their girls to the family boarding schools,
and pay $50 or less per annun for board
and tuition, should bear in mind that they
do not pay the whole cost thereof. The
capitation fees from the Board of Educa-
ton, contributions from benevolent So
cieties and individuals, gratuitous services
of some Of the teachers, aud others, free
rent. etc, make up the large deficiency.
The interests of the schools and the cause
of education call for more strctness in
collecting the bills for board and tuition.
The natural inclination Is to undervalue
those good things which are received with
out effort or cost,

Although the number ofpupils attend
ing this school has decreased, its excellence
is unimpaired. There has been a consider
able amount of sickness at the school dur
ing the past few months, probably caused
by the unusual amount Of rainy weather,
and one pupil has died. At present the
health of the pupils is good, and their pro-
gress in education fair.

This Seminary has had many obstacles
to contend against during the past year.
Its moral health has suffered, and twelve .
Of the older pupils have been expelled on
account of gross insubordination The
trustees may be carrying on the school
with too small teaching force to main
tain an efficient discipline, and the board
ing fee charged is too small to give . sat
bill of fare and pay the current
expenses of the establishment Instead
Of $50 per annum, the charge should be
1t least $40, and $50 would not be too
much.
The principal and her assistant are la
POROUS, conscientious teachers, and at the
present time, the seminary appears to be
gaining q more healthy tone. The pupils
in it are, for the most part, very
-oung, ranging from three to sixteen or
eventeen years Of age
