TUT AX» TT Mn/YPT? IIIv/ \J -Lb JJ, . . Principal, Miss OLIVIA BOND, - - . Assistant. Fall Term Will Begin Monday, July 19th., 1897. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION: The course of study will be thorough, practical, and systematic. It is believed to contain enough for business pursuits, and, all that is necessary for a basis on which may be reared a classical education. Students may choose and pursue a select course; but ii regular, system¬ atic course will be recommended and insisted upon. EXPENSES: 1st Grade, per month, $1.00. 2nd 4# 4 » »4 1.25. 3rd “ 4 4 % 4 1.50. 4th “ 4 4 44 »* 75 * Pro rata of public fund will be deducted from above rates. BOARD: Board in good families, per month, $5.00 to $S.oo. DISCIPLINE: The Discipline of the school will be mild and persuasive, but firm and decisive. The strictest surveillance will be held over the moral and intellectual training of the pupils. It ..is believed that boys and girls should be inspired by lofty motives to govern themselves; that they s | JOU | d 1^. taU ght to do right, not from fear, but from a sense of duty and honor; to do right, not because they' are watched, but because it is RIGHT Thus inspired and taught, they go into the world men and . women in all that the words imply; otherwise, they go out as mere machines, unable to control themselves,—slaves to their own appetites an d passions. Proper punishment will not he spared when it becomes necessary; but we wish it emphatically understood that we want no pupil in school who delights in raising-disturbances and in doing wrong because he thinks he will never be detected in it.
