SYSTEM OF TEACHING.
Our system of teaching is
very largely by lectures, and
full explanation upon the text.
The teacher who never imparts
I to his pupils one thought be-
yond the dull routine of the text
book, does not appreciate the
Responsibilities that rests upon
him and fails to discharge the
duties of his office. All diff
cult and underlying principles
should be unfolded and elucida-
ted by lectures and demonstra-
tons. The mind of the pupil,
from time to time, should be in
spired and elevated by an oral
enunciation Of the most striking
and beautiful thoughts Of which
the subject will admit. In this
way the mind Of the learner is
elevated, enlarged and exalted.
The recitation becomes no Ion
ger lifeless and mechanical
task, but a pleasing and profita-
bic study.
Pupils will be required to
make notes of lectures as they
are delivered and whenever prac-
ticable, to give an analysis there
of. A physician will lecture the
class in Physiology upon that
study, and j. G. Woods, Esq.
will deliver occasional lectures
on Moral Law. As may be
seen, our course of study is di-
vided into Grades and Classes.
No young lady will be allowed
to pass from one Grade to an
other without a certificate of
proficiency in the lower Grades.
Parents are sometimes anX-
ious that their daughters be adj
vanced according to age and
not to advancement. In all such
cases the young ladies will be
placed in whatever Grade or
class the parent may designate,
but in TO way will the princi-
pal be responsible for the result;
nor will he confer a diploma UNI
less the pupil reaches the stand
ard, Of requirement in all the
Grades and classes. We are
determined that diploma from
the Fayetteville Female Acade-
my shall be an honor to the
young lady who wins it. We
meet Graduates" all over the
land who are fatally deficient in
observation-disclosures principals Of
schools should be more particu-
lar and conscientious in confcrr-
ing the honors Of their Ins6tu-
tons.
MUSICAL DEPARTMENT.
Thisdepartmentis in the hands
Of an experienced teacher, whose
past success is a full guarantee
of the successful management
Of this department i'll the future.
Special attention is given to the
cultivation of the voice. In no
school in this county can there
be found greater facilities for
training in music. Prof. War
rem, our music teacher, will give
private lessons to any one who
may not wish to prosecute 9TH
er studies.
BOARDING DEPARTMENT.
The Principal is now having
erected a commodious and con-
venient building in order that
he may accommodate all who
wish to attend the Academy
from a distance. Board, in
Guiding fuel, lights, &c, can be
at as reasonable rates
as can be found at any other
school Of the same grade in the
State. Hence it is rot necessa-
ry to send your daughters else
where on account of cheap
boarding. Send them to Fay
ctteville. Here they can have
the advantages of as thorough
training as any Female school
can offer, besides the church ia
cilities afforded by our pleasant
town. Services are held att
three churches. every Sunday
and nights Sabbath
School at each church every |
morning. Pupils can
attend the church of theirchoice.
