Female Classical Seminary,
OXFORD, NORTH-CAROLINA-nnillS
Seminary has been removed from
A Mecklenburg, Va. where it has beeu in
operation for two years past, to this place.

ductive. This plan of instruction is em
ployed here, and extended, at far as practi
cable into the various branches of studv.
The School is arranged in three Cla'sses,
the studies of which are as follows:
I. Minor Ca&s Reading,Writing, Spell
ing and Defining, General outline of Geo
graphy, Mental Arithmetic, First Principles

continued, Syntactical Parsing, Punctuation,
Outline of Astronomy and use of the Globes,

States and Composition.

toric and Composition.

in a Preparatory Class. Those who wish
to pursue a more extensive course, compose
an Honorary Class.

ges, Needlework, Drawing and Painting,

pils in Music, one of which is a superior instrument.
Parents who wish to place their daugh
ters at School, where the course of instruc
tion is liberal and r.n Irnlfitpfl tr rlicrinlino
and enlarge the mind, while at the same
time, the ornamental branches .of female
education mav be attended to under th
most favorable circumstances, will, it is be
lieved, do well to place them here. The
situation is pleasant and healthy, and the
accommodations spacious and comfortable.
A parental care is exercised over the du-
pils, who reside with the instructors, and
plans employed for encouracrinc the im
provement of time and the practice of amia-
oie manners, winch are peculiarly power
ful in their influence.
The?Scholastic year is divided into twn
