The Institution is supplied with a Harp, anil
with new Pianos.
Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
College, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 20,1855.
Dear Sir:—ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolavsliip
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady l ever instructed. 1 speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon tliegenoralprinciple that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will be permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class until she
has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
Wo invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve it; but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modern science lias al
most mnihilated time and space, the mind
returns only its original qualities arid capabil
• itie:\ The ‘ntellect, in its onward progress,
.is Still dependent r.por* the principles of asso
■ datum, inn powers of judgement and memory.
Real advancement in knowledge now, as it has
ever been, is slow .land.
