under very fattering auspices. There are
present about 100 boarding pupils, repre-

the South. The Institute has never been
in a more prosperous condition or fur
nished better assurance to its patrons of
thorough moral and intellectual culture.
The corps of instructors is complete, COM
posed OF graduates in the classics, in art
and music of the highest attainments, and
bringing to the duties imposed upon them
that experience and training so essential
to success in their several departments.
The envia0e reputation which the lnsti

the results of the current session, and still
further fix its status as one of the fore
most educational Institutions for young
