the Rev. G. N. Campbell, some years ago at

been marked from its establishment, and with
its fine new building and other equipments, it

Being a patron of the STEPHENSON Ffs-
MALE SEMINARY, / bear testimony that II
is in all respects an excellent school for young
ladies. Its course is taught with a thorough
ness that commands my admiration, and it is
at the same time SO taught as to become at
tracttye to the scholars. Its accomplished
Principal and Teachers have solved the prob
lem of making hard study pleasure to the
student.
It's discipline is ali that any Christian or
prudent parent can desire Exact and firm
1t is gentle, affectionate and home-lilte so that
girls who board coon learn to regard themselves
as members of the Christian family No pains
are spared TO preserve health. and to make the
young ladies comfortable and happy. No
school can offer greater advantages for moral
and religious culture.
Rev: 9; n. Campbell has abundantly shown
his peculiar adaptation to teaching and train
ing young ladies. and he has shown this in en-
inent degree in his selection of teachers to rs
sist him. a. C. HOPKINS,
