This old, well established and efficient
Institution located at Independence,
Washington county, is again commended
to the attention of the public. Now in the
twentieth year ofits existence, it has been
for fifteen years under the management of
the same Principal. It has graduated ten
classes, and its Alumina evince tbe breadth
of instruction, the depth of intellect and
moral culture, and the tone and character
of tbe institution.
For ability, for professional akill and
moral fitness for the discharge of their
duties, the Faculty is not surpassed by that
of any other similar institution. All are
professional teachers. The Principal has
an experience of twenty-five years in tho
management of literary institutions and in
the instruction of youth.
Modern languages are taught by native
instructors—Music by artists of the high-
est giade; and the various branches ot'a
solid and useful English education togeth-
er with tho classics are under the direction
of teachers ofeminent skill and experience.
Peculiar advantages are offered to young
ladies of energy and talent who wish to
bualify themselves for teachers. A Diplo-
ma from this institution is a passport to
any position as an educator of youth.
The discipline is mild, practical and
efficient. Tbe moral tone of the institu-
tion is pure and elevated; and while tenets
exclusively sectarian are conscicnciously
avoided, the cardinal principles of evange-
lical Christianity are exhibited and in-
culcated upon all suitable occasiocs.
Two literary papers are sustained by the
pupils, which are submitted to tho public
in semi-monthly readings. Exhibitions of
prjficicncy in vocal and instrumental
m isic are also made semi-monthly.
Gratuitous instruction is given to all tho
pupils in tho elements of vocal music, tfml
those desiring instruction in tho higher
departments of vocalization, and in all tbat
pertains to the management, development
and culture of the voice, will find hero
advantages of the highest grade.
The location iscelebrated for the health-
fulness and for the beauty of the surround-
ing scenery. We add to our list of facili-
ties a Library, Apparatus, and accomoda-
tions for200 pupils. The number of young
la lies in attendance last year was ItiO.—
Present Senior class, eleven.
