OCIIOOL for YoirxrT^nM^sTiw"
- mouth, Va.— Mrs. COMEGY S, intends to open
a School lor Hoarding ami Dav Pupils in the town
I’orUinouih, commencing MONDAY', the 6th of
October next, and closing the last of July. She
wul endeavor, hy tin- in >st earnest exertions, to
make its charaoti r as lii?li us that of any other Fe
male School in thi- country. The extent uf the
i ourse <>| study, the thoroughness of the instruction
will,, she hopes, render it unnecessary for any ol
her Scholars to seek, elsewhere, the completion of
their education ; and every facility will be offered
them in adding the accomplishments of society to
the sounder knowledge of hooks and thin?*. Es
pecial care will h» taken to cultivate a refined taste
and sin ii d licacy ol feeling as may impress itsel
upon the act ions and manners.
It a ill also he the constant aim of the Principal, !
to make the discipline, the studies, ami all the in- i
tcrnal nr nn?eme,its „f 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
hen'tv devotion to God the Saviour.
I hose in particular who become members of her I
family will excite the same solicitude, and receive ]
i *i f ,mC zcal°u' care in this respect os her own I
children ; and they will thus bo expected to govern
their least actions hy the. rules of Christian duty —
I hero will not, however, he in this system of edu
cation any attempt to inculcate partial and sectari
an opinions.
Gentle itinuences, can !id and truthful teaching
will he the only means employed ; and to these it i”
hoped, no one will object.
Mrs. Comcarys will he assisted bv teachers of abil
ity an I energy, thoroughly acquainted with the
branches entrusted to them; and o'hcrs will he
added to their number, whenever (ho size of the
School Rhalt require it. Their exertions, her own
constant supervision—the many natural advantages
and 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
their daughters to her care.
