■’ Nc,loot for Hoarding and Day Pupil* in tin; town
• >l Portsmouth, commencing MON l).\ V, tin- Ctli of
October next, and closing the last of July. Sin
will endeavor, by the most earnest exertions, to
make it, character u.s high as that of any other Fe
male School in the couture. The extent of the
"■'iV '"' i *' thoi oiiglmess of the instruction
wih, dn- hopes, rentier it unnecessary for any of
her Scholars to seek, else where, the completion of
their education ; and every facility will he •Iferetl
them in adding the accomplishments of society (,,
the sounder knowledge ot books and things. Ks
peetal care will be taken to cultivate a refined taste
and sin h cl licaey ot feeling as may in-press itscl
upon the actions anti iiianm i s.
It will also be the constant aim of the Principal,
to make th • discipline, the studies, and all the in
ternal an angements of the School conform to Chris
tian principles, and serve to implant in the hearts
of her pupils a deep love for sacred things, and a
ho:i*ty d»*votion t<» (»o l (In* Saviour.
Those in particular who become members of her
family will excite the same solicitude, and receive
the " line zealous care in this respect as her own
children : and they w ill thus he ex’-rctcd to govern
tlii-tr h-ii-t actions by the rules of Christian duty_
1 here will not, however, be in this system of edu
cation any attempt to inculcate purlin I anil sectari
an opinions.
Gentle influences, candid and truthful teaching
will lie the only Incan-, employed ; and to these it is
hoped, no one will object.
Mrs Oomegys will ho assisted by teachers of abil
ity and energy, thoroughly acquainted with the
branches entrusted to them; and o li.-rs will be
added to their number, whenever the size ,,f the
l.ool shall require it. Tln-ir exertions, her own
constant supervision—I lie many n itoral advantages
ami beauties of the place—the healthiness of The
sea-air, and bathing will, she trusts, induce the
citizens of Portsmouth and of Virginia to confide
