I location. j

Williamsport is one of the most beautiful and healthful places in (
the State. It has never been subject to epidemics of any kind. No ^
student has hitherto suiFered in health by a residence here. On the \
contrary, many, coming to the School sickly, have returned fully re-
stored. In point of intelligence and morality the citizens will com-
pare favorably with those of any other place. The location is central
and accessible from all quarters. The Kailroads, almost completed,
will soon bring us within a few hours ride of Elmira, Danville, Potts-
ville, Harrisburg, Hollidaysburg, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
most distant of these places are now within a few days travel. No
more desirable position for a Seminary of Learning can be found.

©rgatiisation^

The School is organized on the most approved plan, of the best In- ^
stitutions of New York and New England. It embraces both sexes,
under the same government and instruction. The PrincipaFs family
and the Assistants, occupy apartments in the building and have a
constant oversight of all the Students.

The Ladies' private and public rooms are entirely separate from the
others, and there is no association of the sexes but in the presence of
their Instructors. The Ladies and Gentlemen, have less freedom of
intercourse here than at home.

The happy influence, mutually exerted in their slight association in
the recitation-room, at the table, and in the public exercises of the
Chapel, is to be seen in the cultivation of a cheerful and amiable dis-
position,— in the formation of good habits and manners, — in ardent
devotion to study — and in the attainment of high moral character.
These, with many other valuable results, have established the fact,
that, the best plan for a school, is, according to the evident design of
Providence in the constitution of society, on the basis of a well reg-
ulated, christian family. Ladies, equally with gentlemen, are bene-
fited in this arrangement.

The Trustees have been able to make new arrangements in the )
Boarding Hall, by which a large expense will be saved to the student. )
Bv the following list of pric^is, it will be seen that our total expense is ^
quite as low as that of any Institution of like grade in this state ; not I
excepting those schools in which cheap scholarships have been sold. )

point possible, and thus afford to the masses, sound, intellectual and ^

moral culture. )

(Slalcntiar.

The Acaaemical year is divided into three Terms, commencing as c
follows: ^

Fall Term, Au^st 24th, 1854.
A^inter Term, December 4th, 1854.
Summer Term, March 16th, 1855.
The year will close June 27th, 1855.

^ Wotlr to ^Parents.

1. Try and have your children here at the commencement of the
Term. The classes are then formed, and it will be better for all con-
cerned, for the student to start regularly with his class.

2. If possible, do not call them away during the session. Absence,
if only for a few days, disarranges the classes, and is generally the
beginning of irregularity on the part of the scholar.

3. Supply them very sparingly with spending money. The free use
of money is one of the greatest banes of a school, and a fruitful source
of evil to the student. Parents cannot be too cautious on this point.

4. Select for your child, one of the Instructors, as a Patron to dis-
tribute his funds. In this way a more judicious use of your money
will be made, and your child be kept from many temptations.

N. B. — These last two suggestions are to be regarded as established
rnles of the schooL
