AUGUSTA HERALD. Vol. XVII No 13.] QT A CARD. TO THE FRIENDS AND PROMOTERS OF Female Education. MRS. ANTOINETT E SMITH, an nounces to all persons interested in I the prosperity of FEMALE SCHOOLS I in this C.ity, that in consequence of Mr. I J. B. Brown’s appointment as Teacher of I the French Language in the Richmond I Academy, she came to the resolution ofsub- I mitting to the Key'd Ooctor Thompson a pro- Eosal to transfer her School to the Female lepartment of that Institution ; provided Ea coalition could be formed between herself, I Mr. Brown and Mr. T. H. Dixon, the ap- I proved preceptor of that Department. This I proposal being made, mutually concurred I with, and sanctioned by the President, the I design of consolidating the two Schools, I will be carried iuto operation after the an- I Dual vacation on Monday the 2d of October I next. The three upper Rooms in the East-wing I of the Academy at e appropriated for the Fe ll male Classes,and they will accordingly be B fitted up for the accommodation of the Pu- R pils. •* | The several branches which constitute B the literary eourse of instruction in English,, I ' V 'U he taught by Mr. Dixon in connection ■ with Mr. Brown, under the supervision of ■ the President; who will assign to each of ■ the Teachers his and her distinct province. ■ Mr. Brown will teach the French Language ■ to the Female Pupils in the forenoon, reser ■ ving to himself the afternoon for the tuition ■ of the male Pupils. Ihe advertiser, upon this occasion begs ■ leave to renew her unfeigned assurances#'* Bthe parents of the youth now under her ■charge, and to those who will henceforth ■ commit their Daughters to her care, that ■flhe will devote her whole time and attention ■to instrnct and further the advancement of ■the young Ladies, in all the branches of ■Needle-Work and other domestic acquire ■taeuts. she is qualified to teach ; and that ■she will zealously co-operate with Mr. Dix- Bon and Mr. Brown, in cultivating the minds ■of the pupils, by such methods as her expe ■rieuce in teaching the English and French ■Languages for a series of years, euables her ■to assert with confidence, to be best adapted Bo produce the desired effect. P Families at a distance from Augusta, who ■may be desirous of affording their Daugh ters, the benefits likely to result from the ■improved arrangements now made, in this ■important department of the Academy, are ■respectfully informed, that the advertiser ■ will continue to reside in her present dweli ■ing (Reynold-street) and she will convert P&l! the portion of that spacious house, hith ■erto occupied for the several classes of the ■school, into comfortable lodging-rooms, to ■accommodate an additional number of pu ■pils, as boarders in her family, and she ■pledges herself to the parents who will hon ■our her with their confidence, that she will ■be peculiarly attentive to the health and de ■pori merit of the children placed as inmates ■under her roof. To sensible mothers, id this enlightened ■country, it is superfluous to portray the ■advantages, or to urge the necessity, of bes ■towing on their daughters, a liberal and ■solid education, yet the advertiser begs ■leave to subjoin a short quotatiou from a fe ■mile writer of great celebrity, to illustrate ■her own opinions upon this interesting sub ■jet t:— <• Could the useful and the ornamental be ■“ properly blended, in the formation of our ■“ females, what happy effects might be ex ■ “ pected ! how much in general, would the ■“ world be consequently mended ! for, is ■ “ not the ground-work of the education of ■“ even the masculine race, laid by thejudg ■ “ meut of the feminine P It is, how impor ■“ tnnt, therefore, is the proper cultivation ■*‘ of their abilities ! how essential that their B‘ understandings should reeeive the best ■“ and most useful improvement ! else, they ■ 4 ‘ must necessarily implant frivolity, If no ■* thing worse, with the first consciousness of B 4 * their infant pupils, and prepare a foun ■“ dation too unsound to bear the weighty su ■*_* perstructure which wise architects would ■ 4 ‘ subsequently endeavour to erect.” “ A mother well informed, ■ Entails a blessing on her infant charge, 44 Better than Riches .” ■ *3* All persons to whom Mrs. Smith is Biot personally known, are respectfully refer- Bed to the Rev’d. Doctor Thompson, Col. ■B. W. Evans, Mr. George Adams, and ■Mr. Hobby, for satisfactory information in Bespect to her vigilance, and attention to the ■children entrusted to her care. <S September 14. 12 Robinson & Patton, COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
