Female Classical Seminary,
OXFORD, NORTH -CAROLINA.
rSlIIIS Seminary has been removed from
oL Mecklenburg, Va. where it has been in
operation for two years past, to this place.
The appellation of Classical is adopted,
from its being used to designate those Fe-r
male Academies in which the method of in
struction pursued, is the Pestalozziun or In
ductive. This plan of instruction is em
ployed here, and extended, as far as practi-
caoie into trie various branches, ot study.
The School is arranged in three Classes,
the studies of which are as follows:
J. Minor Class Reading, Writing, Spell
g and Defining, General outline of Geo
graphy, Mental Arithmetic, First Principles
of Grammar'and Etymological Parsing, the
Composition of Sentences and Simple De
scriptions. II. Jimijr Class The three first of the
above continued, Geography, Arithmetic
continued, Syntactical Parsing, Punctuation,
Outline of Astronomy and use of the Globes,
Natural Philosophy, History of the United
States and Composition.
III. Senior Class Arithmetic continued,
Chemistry, History, Ancient and Modern,
Chronology, Mythology, Astronomy, Rhe
toric and Composition.
Those who are not prepared to enter the
first of these Classes, are retained for a time
in a Preparatory Class. Those who wish
to pursue a more extensive course, compose
an Honorary Class.
Instruction is also given in the Langua
ges, Needlework, Drawing and Painting,
and Music.
Lectures are delivered to the Senior Class,
on Mineralogy, Botany, and Mental and
Moral Philosophy. The School is furnish
ed with a considerable collection of Minerals
and Botanical Collection, and with Appara
tus for performing experiments in Natural
Philosophy and Chemistry.
The branches .mentioned in the List of
Studies are taught by Mr. and Mrs. HOL
LISTEH, to be assisted by such other
teachers as the number of pupils may re
quire. The Lectures and Instruction in
Latin and French, are given by Mr. Hollis
ter. Plain and ornamental Needlework,
Drawing in Perspective, Painting in water
colors, including Landscapes, and Painting
on velvet, are taught by Mrs. Ilollister.
The Department of Music is under the di
rection of Miss E. F. Humphreys, who has
maintained a high reputation for the two
last years as a teacher of Music in Oxford,
and who had previously been at the head of
the Music JJepartment in the celebrated
Moravian School at Bethlehem, Pa. Two
Pianos are provided for the use of the pu
pils in fylusic, one of which is a superior in
strument. Parents who wish to place their daugh
ters at School, where the course of instruc
tion is liberal and calculated to discipline
and enlarge the .mind, while at the same
time, the ornamental branches of female
education may be attended to under the
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 pu
pils, who reside with the instructors, and
plans employed for encouraging the im
provement of time and the practice of amia
ble manners, which are peculiarly power
ful in their influence.
ThelSchoiastic year is divided into two
sessions of five months each, the first com
mencing on the second Monday in January,
and ending early in June, when the second
session commences and continues until about
the middle of November.
