The Due West Female College.

Inlleu of anything we might write we make
the following extracts from the last catalogue
of this institution. At Duo West the young
ladies arc treated with the greatest respect.
The Professors address the youngest Of the
young ladies as "Miss Julia, ""Afiss Mary" as
the case may be. AT one Female College we
regret TO say the young ladies are addressed
as "girls," at another, they are called "chil-
dren,' and at still anontier, they are address
cd as servants, viz: as "Julia," Mary
&c. For our own part, we are OF opinion thai
parents should not tolerate such o lack OF
courtesy on the part Of teachers TO their pu-
pills. II We can't be good, We ought At lenst to
ne polite. Good manners are all important
actor In life, and no teacher OF youth should
ne deficient In this respect. From the catn-
Ioguc Mt Due West we take the following.
