FEMALE SEMINARY.

/
their daughters should be educated al
the Mt. Sterling Female Seminary:
/. This is distinctiyely a girls
school. We shall not discuss the cause
of education, but are content tc
leave the matter, with this statement
in the hands of those directly interest
ed.
2. This is the only school in Mont
gomery county which has to offer to
girls, at any price, any of the follow :
ing:
ID, A Shorthand Course; ~, a
Commercial Course ;(3), Vocal Music
(4), instruction on Mandolin and Vio-
lin, in addition to Piano and Organ, in
the department OF Instrumental Mu-
sic; (5), Drawing with pencil, crayon,
charcoal or pastel; CO.. Painting in
oils, water-colors or on China.
3. We offer any or all of these to
girls taking either our Academic
Course or our College Preparatory
Course at discount of 20 per cent.
Others must pay regular rates for
them, which are precisely the same az
are charged for them in the best
schools in Kentucky to-day. Girls
taking either the Shorthand Course OF
the Commercial Course are also allow
ed Music, Drawing or Painting at the
same discount; and this entire clause
applies to those who have finished any
of these courses of study and wish to
return for special study in Shorthand,
Commercial work, Music, Painting OF
Drawing.
4. We have five teachers, employ
ed with regard to their ability and moi
with regard to cost; teachers who arr
specialists and have spent years il
training for effective work in theil
departments, Parents send
ing their girls to us may feel assured
that they are not pdtting them into
the hands of experimentalists, but un-
Ter the guidance of trained teachers.
5. This is the only school in Mont
gomery county which even promises
development into college. Next year
We propose extending our College
Course three years farth-
II than laid down in this years ,cata.
ogue; and parents who enter theiI I
;irls in this school may do so knowing
hat no change will be necessary until
hey have graduated and received
Logree and diploma as honorable as
hat bestowed by any college in the
tate. :
6. A good showing this year will
make it possible to erect large, brick
ollege building next year, costing
'om $4,000 to 5000; all OF which
loney will pass directly into circula-
on in this county.
7 With such course of study,
acked by such building, and with
)rps Of teachers chosen from among
Re best in the South and numbering
lough to do ia frst-class shape all a
lat is required of them. we can draw /
ON other towns and from other !
'unties-particularly from the coun-
es lying east OF us-from two hum
'ed to four hundred girls to receive
eir education in Mt. Sterling. Do
III realize what this means? Are
u willing to assist in huilding such Z
school? Will you send your daugh !.
rs and lend your influence to make !,
Mt. Sterling Female Seminary :,
velope into The Mt. Sterling Female /,
'llege? j
8. Such school here would attract /.
ndreds' Of families who move, from q
az to year, out of the country and .
lntry towns into some college Town, 4,
order to educate their children. NJ
e increase in the volume of business !,
ne in Mt. Sterling, and the conse- u
ent rise in all property values, which !,
II result from this cause alone can. q
be correctly estimated. ~
}. We stand upon this double pro- n
'ition: First, that on have as good n
light to the best OF tuition as the re-
ents of other towns and counties i.
ond, that it should cost you no y
re than residents of other towns q,
! counties have TO pay when they :
ronize their own schools, We Of
you the best of tuition, as good as Al
can get in the State; and we Or
'rge you for it just exactly what 81
would pay at other fIrst-class COL Gu
late schools throughout Kentucky.
