PKEFACE.
The completion of this first issue of the Educational Directory has been
attended with unexpected difficulties and delays to which reference is made, in
explanation, on another page.
Here it is the desire of the undersigned simply to say that the plan of this
book has become more comprehensive while its preparation was going on, and
that from this cause also an additional delay has resulted, which will be avoided in
subsequent issues. It is to be hoped, however, that the portly appearance of the
volume, whatever its imperfections, may be accepted as an indication of the
important place which the Directory is destined to fill.
The prominence given in this publication to Catalogues and Lists of Books
scarcely needs explanation. The corresponding portion of the Year-Boole of Edu-
cation for 187s has been pronounced of such importance by practical educators
as well as by booksellers, publishers, and librarians, that a retention of this feat-
ure, continually improved in each new issue, is forced upon the publisher, who is
only too glad to see his cherished labor thus appreciated.
In consequence of this, preparations have been made to considerably increase
the bibliographical part of the work. As publishers and authors are recognizi-ng
the importance of having their books enumerated in what will hereafter be re-
garded and consulted as a practical Guide to Books for the Teaching Profession,
and as the necessary material is also being diligently collected from other sources,
it is apparent that in future issues this portion of the volume will — like the List
of Educational Institutions — be brought nearer and nearer to that complete-
ness and usefulness which the publisher desires and strives to attain.
It may not be out of place to remark in this connection that the importance
of the several publications to which the Educational Directory belongs has been
acknowledged even beyond expectation. Thus the Cyclopaedia of Education, the
first work of its kind in the English language, in addition to the extraordinary
marks of appreciation bestowed upon it. in this country, has not only secured a
strong hold in England and other European countries, but it has also been
honored by the award of a Medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
In like manner the merits of the Year-Book of Education have also secured
recognition both at home and abroad, and notably by the Commissioners of Edu-
cation from foreign countries who examined the book at the Paris Exposition.
It may appear superfluous to state that in the present volume American Edu-
cational Institutions and American publications occupy the largest space. At the
same time, however, the publisher appreciates the growing desire in this country
for fuller information in regard to European Educational Institutions and publica-
IV
tions. It is therefore, his intention carefully to collect and publish in the sub-
- such information in these respects as may be deemed of sufficient
value while any additional particulars that may be desired will be cheerfully com-
municated at tlir Office of his Educational Bureau.
\\ thin the short time that has elapsed since the organization of this
reau its desirability no less than its efficiency has been established and
numberless positions have been filled through its agency, without any expense
cither to teachers or to employers. Gratified to feel that he is thus doing a
welcome Bervice to many persons, and cheered and encouraged on all sides,
the undersigned will continue to work in this direction, and further, with the
aid of an extensive collection of reference books, catalogues, and other material,
endeavor t" give full information in regard to educational matters at home
and abroad.
Cordial thanks are expressed to all who have aided in the preparation and
correction of this volume, and the request is added that whosoever can contribute
to the correctness and reliability of later issues, will do so at the earliest
opportunity .

BordentoH'ii.
Bordentown Female College. — Chartered 1853.
This college, located in the city of Bordentown. a
place of 6,000 inhabitants, in its location and access-
ibility is unsurpassed, it is believed, by any similar
institution, its proximity to the large cities affording
rare opportunities of visiting the libraries, art gal-
leries, and museums of New York and Philadelphia.
The college buildings stand upon a bluff, some sixty
feet above the Delaware river, presenting a landscape
of remarkable picturesqueness. They are supplied
with hydrant water and heated by furnaces. The
rooms are arranged with special reference to health
and comfort. The halls and public rooms are lighted
by gas. The winters are mild and the grounds are
well shaded and enclosed, affording ample scope for
recreation and exercise.
A prominent feature of the school' is its home-like
character. In their associations with the president
and his family and with the teachers, the students
find all the sympathy and care that is possible out-
side of their own homes.
The courses of study embrace a Preparatory De-
partment, a Collegiate Department, a Scientific
course, Ancient Classic, Modern Classic, Latin and
French, and Latin and German courses. Young la-
dies who have finished the Preparatory course, and
who do not wish to complete any of the Collegiate,
may take a Select course and recite in such college
classes as their qualifications will permit. A Normal
course, designed for those who propose to teach, can
also be taken, special instruction being given therein
upon Methods of Teaching and School Organization
and Government.
The Department of Music is very thorough and is
under the direction of Prof. C. B. Wingate. Students
having a good English education may enter for music
alone and graduate in this department. The Art
Course — embracing Oil Painting, Crayoning, Water
Colors, Pencil Drawing, and Wax Fruit and Flowers
— is under the charge of Miss Lizzie Brewer, who
has devoted years to the study and practice of the
various branches. A well-selected library furnishes
facilities for general information and culture. Ar-
rangements are made for popular courses of lectures
each winter.
Terms for the Preparatory Department, per year,

Chilton Hill School.— This school which has been
in successful operation for more than twenty years is
situated on Chilton Hill, in the suburbs of Elizabeth
and fourteen miles from New York with which there
is frequent communication daily. The school is de-
signed to afford boys a liberal, thorough, and pract-
ical training for college, business, or any sphere in
life which education may improve and adorn. It seeks
to inspire the pupil with a love of knowledge and
aims to teach him how to study. Individual in-
struction and special drilling are given where-
ever required. Parents are cordially invited to visit
the school to see its beautiful location, the spacious
grounds around it, and the family arrangements for
the comfort and happiness of the pupils. It is be-
lieved that this school offers excellent advantages for
the thorough education of the young. Board and
tuition per year of forty weeks* $400.00. French,
German, Drawing, Painting, and Music extra. The
school year is divided into two consecutive terms
with a vacation of eleven weeks in summer and one

lessons or take them in classes. There are four pu-
pils in a class, of one hour ; each one plays but fif-
teen minutes but is obliged to listen to the playing of
the other three, who all have different pieces. Ad-
vanced pupils are obliged to study Harmony. Lessons
in singing and in the instrumental branches are
under the direction of the most thorough instructors.
The rooms are pleasant and the finest Weber Concert

Freehold.
Freehold Institute. — The Institute was founded
in 1844, and passed into the hands of its present head
in 1868. It is situated on the outskirts of one of the
most pleasant and healthy towns in the United
States, and has enjoyed remarkable immunity from
epidemic or even local diseases. The standard of its
scholarship may be judged by reference to the list of
honors taken by its graduates at various colleges, as
given in the Catalogue for 1877-78. Equal success
has been met with in the English and Business De-
partments, the graduates from which occupy respons-
ible positions throughout the country. Its instruc-
tors are all College graduates and men of many years'
experience in teaching. The table is not surpassed
by that of any other school in the country.
There are three large buildings heated by steam
and lighted with gas. The two principal ones, both of
brick, three stories in height, one of them new, afford
ample accommodation for seventy-five boarders, with-
out crowding, in handsome, well-lighted rooms. The
gymnasium, bowling-alley, and a large, well-shaded
campus, afford every opportunity for exercise. There
is a good school library, besides that of the Clio De-
bating Society, and those of the teachers, which the
students are welcome at all times to consult. All
the students are expected to attend the Bible class,
conducted by the Principal on Sunday morning, but
can attend any one of the five churches in the town
which their parents may prefer.
The Institute has but one standard of teaching —
hard, earnest work, teacher and scholar laboring to-
gether, encouragement to bright boys, help and words
of cheer to dull ones, a spur to the idle, and a quick
exit to the vicious and dangerous, — these are the
means which have crowned the last ten years' labor
with such gratifying results. Success without labor
is an impossibility, and the recognition of this fact is
the one end diligently sought to be attained in the
course of instruction at the Institute. For catalogue and
information, address Rev. A. O. Chambers, Principal.

Academy of the Sacred Heart.
German-American Academy and Boarding School
(German, English, and French Academy). This in-
stitution, as is indicated by its name, strives to effect
a union in its system of education between the best
forms of German and English culture. It seeks to
communicate to its pupils the uecessary amount of
knowledge suited to the circumstances of American
life, introducing them also into the sphere of German
mental culture, and is, therefore, equally adapted for
American and German children. The institution
consists of five distinct graded classes and a Kinder-
garten.
The Kindergarten, intended for children from three
to six years of age, presents to them not disciplinary
instruction but practical knowledge. From this de-
partment the child passes into the Primary class,
which combines the more advanced instruction of the
Kindergarten with the elements of English and Ger-
man education. In the succeeding or Lower Class
still further advance is made in this elementary in-
struction, while in the Middle Class, Reading and
Writing are made subordinate to the other branches.
Arithmetic and Grammar are extended, and the study
of French is added. The Upper Class affords pupils
the instruction and accomplishments which will be
needed in active life.
In the Academic Class the main objects of instruc-
tion are Mathematics, Natural Science, and Book-
keeping, special consideration being given to Eng-
lish, German, and French Grammar and Literature.
Thorough instruction in all needle-work is given to
girls.
A Boarding School is established in connection
with the Day School, into which the sons and daugh-
ters of respectable families will be received, conscien-
tious care being given to their moral and physical
education and the formation of their characters.
The first quarter begins in September, the second
in November, the third in February, and the fourth in
April.

of four years' duration, and covers all that appertains
to the profession of a Mechanical Engineer. By
means of workshops provided with excellent
machinery, Physical Laboratories, whose appoint-
ments are without an equal, and with the finest
Cabinets of Instruments, every opportunity for the
acquisition of thorough and practical knowledge is
afforded. Faculty : Henry Morton, Ph.D., Presi-

Hopewell.
Hopewell Female Seminary. — The valley of
Hopewell is noted for the high moral tone of its in-
habitants, which renders it peculiarly desirable for a
Boarding School ; this, combined with its pure air,
excellent water, and ready access to our great cities,
renders this village unsurpassed by any of its rivals,
as a suitable place for the education of youth.
The building is thoroughly warmed by the best of
heaters. The Study Rooms, Music Rooms, and Reci-
tation Rooms are carpeted, promoting cleanliness,
quiet, and a home- like aspect. The sleeping-rooms
are finely ventilated and arranged for two occupants
each.
The Principal has had many years' experience in
preparing young ladies for the duties and responsibil-
ities of life, and care is exercised in the selection of
teachers, that the moral influences be such that the
character of the young ladies shall be improved and
elevated by their companionship. The discipline is
mild, but firm. It is the constant endeavor of the
Principal to render the Seminary, not in name only,
but in reality, a home for the pupils committed to her
care, and to that end all the rules of the Institution
tend.
Pupils sustaining a creditable examination in the
Literary and Scientific courses, and at the same time
preserving throughout correct and lady-like deport-
ments will receive a diploma in consideration of the
same. They can also pursue the study of the Langua-
ges in connection with this course, or adopt a Select
course, pursuing such studies as their circumstances
may make desirable, and reciting in such classes as
their advancement may permit.
Pupils, on entering school, will be admitted to that
department for which they are found prepared, and
promoted as they are able to pass satisfactory exam-
inations on the different branches pursued. The
course of study consists of a Primary, a Preparatory,
and a Senior Department. The Senior Department
embraces a Literary and Scientific course, and a
Classical course. Board and tuition in Literary and
Scientific course, per year, $175.00. Board and tuition
in Literary and Scientific course, French, Drawing,
and Music, per year, $225.00. Board and tuition in
Classical course, including previous studies named,
$300.00. Tuition in Wax Fruit and Flowers is given
at an expense in proportion to the style and quantity
desired.
The Fall Term opens September 12th, 1878. Pupils
admitted at any time during the session.

has been in existence for nearly three years and Miss

references. Terms, per quarter of ten weeks, are
quite low and will be given with other necessary in-
formation upon application to Miss Arnold (next
door to Steinway Hall, New York City) or to the
Principal, Miss S. S. Dunham, Young Men's Christian

The Misses Grinnell's School for Young Ladies and
Children. This school aims to give its pupils thor-
ough instruction in all the branches of an accom-
plished education with all the advantages which are
to be derived from a careful distribution of leading
and important studies. The course includes the usual
English branches with French, German, and Latin.
The languages are taught according to the natural
method, a system which has always afforded the best
results. Lectures are regularly and frequently given
upon Hygiene, History, and the Sciences, and especial
care is taken to render the course of instruction one
which shall be of advantage to the pupils in after
life. Calisthenics are taught in the Primary Depart-
ment.
The school year is divided into four parts, and ex-
tends from the middle of September to the middle of
June. Pupils may enter at any time during the year.
They will be charged for from the time of entering
but will be expected to remain until the close of the
school year. Reference can be made to any of the
parents of former and present pupils. For full infor-

Fr. A. Mollenhauer's School of Music— Established
1864. Not only in name but in reality will this be
found a thorough School of Music. Devoting all his
time, talent and energy to this end, Mr. Mollenhauer
has built up an institution, which is a source of pride
to all lovers of the art, and which may be safely recom-
mended to students, desirous of honest, capable, and
conscientious instruction in the various branches of
Music. All lessons are given personally by Mr.
Mollenhauer, but in departments where this is not
practicable, the most able teachers are selected (as
occasion requires) to assist him. Lessons will be
given in Vocalization, Pianoforte, Organ, (Cabinet or
Church), Violin, Violoncello, Guitar, Flute, Cornet,
and Harmony. Private Soirees will be given at short
intervals, having for their object the performance of a
high order of music, and the appearance in public of
such pupils as have distinguished themselves by rapid
improvement. In conclusion, it is necessary to state
that the taking of lessons, without the regular and
diligent practice of the same, is a waste of time and
money, and a source of chagrin both to pupil and
teacher. Music, as it is the most beautiful, is the
most difficult of accomplishments, and requires persis-
tent study to reach even a moderate degree of ex-
cellence.

for Young Ladies and Children. The location of the
school is pleasant and healthful and removed from
the centre of the city. The building is large and
commodious, and the close proximity of the school
to New York City is an especial advantage, inasmuch
as the pupils can frequently enjoy, in company with
a teacher, the refining and educating attractions of
the metropolis.
The principal, with the aid of efficient assistants,
offers to her pupils superior advantages for a thorough
education in the usual English branches, Music, the
modern Languages, Paintings, etc.
The course of study is, in fact, thorough and ex-
tended, and is intended to include all the branches
which are to be considered as essential to the finished
education of young ladies.
The course of instruction is divided into the Junior,
Middle, and Senior Departments, and the number of
pupils is invariably limited.
Terms, including board and tuition, $400.00 per
annum. Instruction, with board during school week
only, S300.00. Under these terms are included the
usual English branches, Latin and Drawing, washing,
fuel, and pew-rent. Particular attention is given to
orthography, penmanship, and composition during
the entire course. Instruction in Modern Languages
by native teachers, at Professors' charges. Music is
taught by a German professor of recognized ability.

a thorough training in the English branches will be
added all the accomplishments of a finished educa-
tion. The course of study will be carefully adapted
to the health and capacity of each pupil, and no ef-
forts spared to inspire a sincere and ardent love for
knowledge. Art, Music, Belles Lettres, and Modern
Languages will receive special attention, and parental
care given to the Physical, Social, and Moral culture
of the young ladies. The location of the school is
delightful, combining the advantages of city and
country. Charges extend horn the date of entrance

Rutgers College Grammar School. — Under the
control of the Trustees of Rutgers College. Established
1770. Situated in New Brunswick opposite the Col-
lege Campus, and standing in eight acres of ground.
This school is now under the management of Rev. D.
T. Reiley, the Professor of Latin in Rutgers College,
and it is his desire, as it is that of the Trustees, that
the Institution should maintain its place as a classi-
cal school for the preparation of boys and young men
for entrance to any college while adding thereto that
initiation into practical and scientific studies which
is required in entering the various Technical and Sci-
entific Schools, or in meeting the demands of modern
business life. For this purpose especial care has been
bestowed upon the selection of an efficient corps of
Instructors. Among these may be mentioned the Rev.
Samuel Lockwood, Ph.D., well known as an original
observer and as a contributor to our best periodicals,
who gives instruction in the departments of Natural
History, Technology, and Familiar Science.
The Corps of Examiners includes President Camp-
bell and leading professors of Rutgers College. Each
of the Examiners has his regular subjects, the exam-
inations in which are rigid and thorough, and are de-
signed not only to ascertain the progress of the stud-
ent, but also "to direct and assist the teacher and
thus secure the highest progress of each class. The
school is provided with a very complete cabinet of
Geology and Natural History. Students also have the
benefit of Prof. Reiley's and Prof. Lockwood's private
cabinets and those of Rutgers College.
The Rector resides few blocks only from the school
building. A limited number of pupils will be received
into his family and will be under his care and super-
vision. The location of the school at one of the prin-
cipal stations on the Pennsylvania Railroad renders
it easy of access for day scholars also.
Terms for Board, Tuition, Light, and Fuel, $100.00
per quarter. No extras except for washing, medical
attendance, and studies not in the regular course.

oughly classified, the course of instruction is thorough
and comprehensive, and the Directors feel confident
that the educational advantages here offered are un-
surpassed. French is taught by a native teacher, and
Drawing by a graduate from the School of Design, in
Philadelphia.
"It is now very generally admitted that children are
to be taught something more than simply to -read, write,
and cipher.' The first step in the business of education
seems to be to lead children to observe with attention
the objects which surround them and then to describe
with accuracy the impressions made upon their minds
through the medium of the senses. A knowledge of
lliings must precede a knowledge of words."
It is upon this basis that the course of study in this
Institute is arranged.

The Westfield Seminary for Young People.— This
School is now entering upon the sixth year of its
existence and has become a permanent institution.
In conformity with the times, prices have again been
reduced so that the terms are now as low as possible,
■consistent with securing competent assistance in the
various departments of instruction. Pupils entering
the Junior Department, can graduate in four years,
two years being given respectively to the Junior and
Senior Departments. Pupils can be received at any
time into any Department, by passing a satisfactory
examination in the studies of the Lower Depart-
ments. The classes in Light Gymnastics are free to
all pupils of the Seminary, a place in the class being
dependent only upon courteous deportment and care-
ful attention to the instruction given.
It is the constant aim of the Principal and her as-
sistants to inspire their pupils with a love of know-
ledge, and no efforts will be spared to secure their,
mental and moral culture, and to surround them with
those influences which shall tend to the formation of
an elevated Christian character. Although the Sem-
inary is designed primarily for young ladies, young
gentlemen are also received. In addition to an In-
troductory Division, the school is divided into four
Departments with a course of study for each.
Board and tuition in English branches and one
language, $350.00 per annum. Five-day scholars,
$200.00 per annum. Pupils may enter at any period
of the year and will be charged only from the time
the engagement is made, but they will be expected to
remain till the close of the school-year.
Westfield is delightfully situated on the Central
Kailroad of New Jersey, less than one hour's ride
from New York, with which trains connect frequently
during the day. The natural attractions of the vil-
lage, its delightful scenery, and its elevated and
healthful location, nearly two hundred feet above the
waters of Newark Bay, combine to make Westfield
one of the most desirable places for residence in the
vicinity of New York.

Principal in response to applications, either in person
or by letter. Address Mrs. E. H. Ladd, Principal,

been limited to eight, and a few day scholars will be
received.
English is taught in all the regular school branches,,
studies being assigned and advancement allowed ac-
cording to the pupil's age, proficiency, and progress.
French is the language of the family and will, there-
fore, become the daily language of the pupils, and, as
one of the family is a German, such pupils as desire
can receive correct instruction in the German lan-
guage.
Music is a specialty in this school ; many of the
young ladies, formerly in attendance, have been thor-
oughly educated and fitted as teachers in this branch
by Madame Groschel, and are now occupying good
positions in schools, north and south. Sight-readin«-
and instrumental music, for four and eight hands, are
taught, great attention being paid to regular and care-
ful practice.
Soirees and receptions are given monthly, when the
pupils receive their friends, entertaining them with
recitations and musical selections.
The school year commences September 15th, but
pupils may enter at any time. They will be charged
for from the date of entrance and will be expected to
remain for the balance of the school year at least.
Girls of seven or eight years of age are admitted into
the school, and the greatest care is given to their
physical and mental training, the family manners and
home life of the school rendering such especial care
possible. One of the teachers always accompanies
the girls to their own church.
Thoroughness is the aim throughout the entire
school course and careful attention is given that
the principles of every study shall be accurately
mastered and correctly understood.

Hempstead.
Hempstead institute. — A Home and School for
boys under fifteen years of age, twenty miles east of
Brooklyn, on Long Island. An experience of more
than twenty years has convinced the Principal that
young pupils ought to be placed in an Institution de-
signed exclusively for them ; this school is the prac-
tical result of that conviction. It is designed to com-
bine the requisites of a pleasant and healthy Country
Home, with a system of Instruction, Discipline,
Amusements, Exercises, and General Management,
better adapted to the right culture of young pupils
than could be possible in a promiscuous school.
Visitors pronounce the location delightful ; it is
proverbially healthy ; cool sea-breezes temper the
heats of summer ; no ague infects the place. A spa-
cious edifice, ample grounds, safe boating and skat-
ing ponds afford full scope for the gymnastic exer-
cises; military drill, gardening, riding, boating,
swimming, skating, and other amusements are in-
cluded in the system of Physical Education and De-
velopment. The system of instruction secures mental
discipline without cramming the young and growing
brain. For learning to speak French, the facilities
are superior.
The very successful experience of the Institution
has proved that the pupils learn faster, while retain-
ing a healthy tone of mind and body, in consequence
of the Physical Training received, than would other-
wise be the case.
Especial pains are taken that the pupils shall be
comfortable, and provided with an abundance of
healthful and nourishing food. The Institute Uniform
should be provided at entrance, or as soon after as
convenient. It is that of the Seventh Regiment, N.Y.
S. M., and costs no more than any other good suit.
The year is divided into two terms, of 21 weeks each,
commencing May 1st and November 1st. respectively.
Pupils can enter at any time, and remain during va-
cations if desired.
Expenses, including Board, English and French
Tuition, use of Books, Bedding, Washing, Seat in
Church, Military Drill, and Use of Arms, $125.00 per
term. Music on the Piano, from $20.00 to $25.00.
Foreign pupils enjoy superior facilities for learning
English, and pay from $175.00 to $200.00 per term.
No other extras. Payments in advance.

The Academy Mount St. Vincent, conducted by
the Sisters of Charity, first opened in 1847. is now
permanently located on the east bank of the Hudson,
a little above Riverdale, at a point where the river
concentrates its most forcible claims to its beautiful
appellation, ''The Rhine of America." The graceful
structure known as Font Hill Castle, reared by the
classic taste of the former proprietor of the grounds.
Edwin Forrest, Esq., lends peculiar attraction to the
site so favored by nature and adorned by art. The
locality is now known as Mount Saint Vincent, the
title of the railway station on the grounds, three
minutes walk from the Academy. Hourly trains to
and from New York, starting either from the Thirtieth
Street Depot, or the Grand Central, render access easy.
The grounds immediately pertaining to the Institu-
tion number sixty- three acres, a large portion of
which is tastefully laid out and thrown open to the
pupils. The undulating lawn and fine grove in the
rear are attractive resorts to the pupils during the
hours of recreation. The roads are macadamized,
and a flagged walk, extending in handsome curves
through the entire grounds, from the Depot to the en-
trance on Riverdale Avenue — a distance of three-
quarters of a mile — affords opportunity at all sea-
sons for healthful out-door exercise. A morning walk
before studies is a fixed regulation. At the suggestion
of several eminent physicians, and their assurance
that every advantage enjoyed at regular sea-bathing
resorts could be found in this locality, a convenient
bathing-house has been erected.
The Academy building, in the Byzantine style, pos-
sessing great architectural beauty, is one of the largest
educational structures in the United States. The
tower rises two hundred and ninety feet above water
level, affording fine opportunities for astronomical ob-
servation.
By its charter, the Academy enjoys all the rights
and privileges of the first collegiate institutions in the
State. The course of study embraces the various
branches of a solid and useful education. Arithmetic,
Algebra, and Geometry form the mathematical course.
In the regular English course, the pupils on entering
are ranked according to their proficiency in Grammar.
Particular attention is given to Rhetoric, Composition,
History, and the Natural Sciences. Latin enters into
the regular course of the last three years. For French
there is no extra charge, and every advantage for its
thorough acquisition is provided. A portion of time

is allowed to each pupil for Plain and Ornamental
Needlework, Wax Flowers, etc.
The services of distinguished Professors are secured
in the musical department for those who prefer mas-
ters. Lectures are delivered by able Professors who
have philosophical and chemical apparatus at their
command. Calisthenics and Dancing are also taught
by Professors. A fine Library of selected works, em-
bracing a range of varied literature, is at the com-
mand of the pupils. The entire " Arnold collection "
of minerals, donated to the institution July 4th, 1872,
by Dr Edmund S. F. Arnold, its munifiuient friend,
has so enriched and extended the cabinet that it is
now one of the finest and most valuable in the United
States. The classification of the minerals is so per-
fect that the value of the cabinet is thereby very
much enhanced.
Monthly reports of deportment, proficiency in study,
etc., are read in presence of the Mother-Superior, Di-
rectress, teachers, and assembled pupils. Medals and
honorary ribbons are then awarded to the most de-
serving. At the Annual Distribution of Prizes, those
who have been considered models of polite and
amiable deportment are crowned by His Eminence,
the Cardinal Archbishop.
The correspondence of the pupils is under the su-
pervision of the Mother-Superior. Parents may rest
assured that every attention, consistent with the
spirit of a firm but mild government, is paid to the
comfort of the young ladies placed at the Institution,
whilst the utmost care is taken to nourish in their
minds those principles of virtue and religion which
alone can render education profitable. No undue in-
fluence is exercised over the religious opinions of
non-Catholic pupils ; however, for the maintenance
of order, all are required to conform to the external
discipline of the Academy.

given to preparation for college, no branch of an
ordinary English education is neglected.
Instruction in French is given by a competent pro-
fessor without extra charge.

open fire and are unsurpassed in the city.

Manhattan College.— The object of this Institution
is to afford students the means of acquiring the high-
est grade of university education, by combining the
advantages of the college and of the polytechnic
school. The plan of studies embraces a thorough
course of humanities, and both the higher mathe-
matics and the natural sciences receive more atten-
tion than is usually bestowed on them in literary
institutions.
Care is taken that every branch prescribed be
thorougly studied, and that nothing be learned
merely by rote. With this view the students discuss
the subject-matter of each lesson in class, independ-
ently of the language of the text-book, criticise one
another's performances, and give free expressions to
their opinions on all points open to debate. They
thus accumulate ideas instead of mere words, they
digest what they learn, and acquire thoughtfulness,
self-reliance, and facility of expression.
A commercial department has been formed for the
benefit of young men who cannot command the ne-
cessary time to pursue the whole course, either in the
Classic or the Scientific Department. To those attain-
ing such proficiency in this course as will enable
them to undergo a thorough examination, certificates
of competency are given as a guarantee of their fitness
to engage in mercantile pursuits.
As the college is conducted by the Christian Broth-
ers, it is presumed that they need hardly assure the
public that the utmost attention is bestowed on the mo-
ral and religious training of all committed to their care.

The Model Kindergarten, and the Intermediate and
Advanced Glasses, will re-open October 1st, 1878, and
close on the 2nd of June, 1879. The Seminary for
the Training of Kindergartners will re-open Novem-
ber 1st, 1878, and close at the end of June, 1879.
A Mothers'' Class for Nursery Management will be
held during the winter as usual.
The Kindergarten proper comprises three Divisions
and the Elementary Department three Classes. These
Divisions and Classes are arranged, according to the
ages of the children, as follows :
Kindergarten.
Third Division, for children from 3 to 4 years old.
Second Division, for children from 4 to 5 years old.
First Division, for children from 5 to 6 years old.
Elementary Department.
Intermediate Class, for children from 6 to 7 years old.
Advanced Class, for children from 7 to 8 years old.
Elementary Class, for children from 8 to 10 years old.
Elementary instruction in German and French will
be given; Singing, Drawing, and Gymnastics will also
be taught. Arrangements can likewise be made, if
desired, for class-instruction on the Piano.
It is, strangely enough, a very general impression
that the Kindergarten is a school. This idea is, how-
ever, entirely erroneous ; for the Kindergarten and
the School have different objects in view, and are
conducted according to different methods. It cannot
be too often repeated that the most essential part of
the whole Kindergarten system is the methodical ar-
rangement of the exercises and the games, and the
explanations given by Froebel to those who are
to conduct them. To become acquainted with them
all is a study ; to apply them well, an art; to under-
stand their significance, their effect, and the
order . -and manner in which they should he
givtttt to the children, is a science. Nothing but a
long, and careful study of the system and its actual
workings can give such a knowledge of it, as will
New Y ork.
enable a person to practice its peculiar mode of in-
struction or to fully understand its many important
points.
While the Kindergarten will afford the child, pre-
vious to its entering the school, the right occupation
and requisite training for a course of regular in-
struction, the Intermediate and Advanced Classes
will be taught according to Froebel's method, his
ideas being more fully developed and more completely
realized. " First the blade, then the ear, then the
corn in the ear."
Prof. John Kraus is a disciple of the Pestalozzi-
Diesterweg- Froebel School, and one of the first propa-
gators of the Kindergarten in this country. For many
years he was connected with the Bureau of Education
in Washington, where his efforts were unceasingly de-
voted to the Kindergarten cause. Says the U. S.
Commissioner of Education : " Prof. John Kraus,
whose devotion and enthusiasm on the subject of
Kindergartens is M-ell known among all educators in-
terested in that topic, will also in New York do his
utmost in the same direction.''
Mrs. Maria Kraus-Boelte is a pupil and a co-
worker of Froebel's widow. She is aided by an ex-
perience of twenty years in Germany, England, and
America. "Mrs. Kraus-Boelte has been pointed out
to me by Mrs. Louise Froebel (Froebel's Widow) in
Hamburg, as the best Kindergartner in Germany,"
says Dr. Nathan Allen in the New England Journal
of Education.
As to her work in America, The Galaxy, in an ar-
ticle on "Kindergartens," says: "Mrs. Kraus-Boelte,
of all American Kindergartuers, holds the highest
place. She comes to us most directly from the found-
er of the system. It is to the labors of this lady,
more than to any other perhaps, that the increasing
success of Kindergartening in America is due, and her
pupils have accomplished more than all the rest. The
reason is simple, they are the most thorough ; the
reason of that again equally simple, their teacher was
the most thorough."
Says Miss E. P. Peapody: "Mrs. Kraus is the first
authority upon the subject, unsurpassed certainly
by any one in her knowledge of Froebel's principles
(according to the testimony of his widow with whom
she has studied for three years); she has twenty
years of great success in practice. Without referring
to her previous eminent success in England and Ger-
many, the Kindergarten in New York is sufficient re-
commendation of whatever Mrs. Kraus writes, espe-
cially upon the training of Kindergartners."
Speaking of Mrs. Kraus' work in America the
Northern Christian Advocate says: "Here, as else-
where, her mission is to plant and nourish the Kin-
dergarten in its purity, in the profound simplicity and
consummate art of nature. The perfectly plain and
unpretending establishment of Mr. and Mrs. Kraus
impressed us as a commentary at once on their in-
tolerance of show and on their exalted repute, empha-
sizing the genuineness ofboth. Such a repute entirely
unassisted by the expensive style and exclusive loca-
tion, which satisfy the demands of society, must of
necessity by wholly made up of sterling substance."
Says The World: "There may perhaps seldom an in-
stitute be found where the beneficial influence upon
children by female and male co-operation is more felt
than by Mr. and Mrs. Kraus ; their congeniality, their
perfect sympathy and harmony can be seen and felt
everywhere. They both are born Kindergartners and
that is also what gives the preference to their 'Kin-
dergarten Guide,' 1 everything is not only seen
through female but also through male lenses in an
educational point of view." "The Authors," says the
New England Journal of Education, "are the most
experienced Kindergartners in America and arc re-
cognized a8 the best .-authority in this country, on
Kindergarten education." Says Mrs. Horace Mann;
"I am indeed, delighted -with 'Jhe ; minuteness, ^hor,-,-
oughncss, and clearness of (lireetion. .. . it is, cer-
tainly by far in advance of 1 any Guide I have yet seen. 1 *

The College year consists of a session of thirty-two
weeks, beginning on the 1st of October and ending
with the third week in May.
The plan of instruction in this school is arranged
to secure a gradation of studies through the three
years of the student's course. For this purpose stu-
dents must attend three entire sessions.
First Year. — During the first year they will be
principally occupied with the elementary branches of
Anatomy, Physiology, Materia Medica, and Chemistry,
with practical work in the Anatomical Rooms and
Pharmacy. Second Year. — In the second year they
will continue these four branches and receive instruc-
tion in Hygiene, Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, and
Pathological Anatomy. Third Year. — In the third
year the instruction in these departments will be con-
tinued, and the students will engage in practical med-
ical work under the direction of their teachers, and
be required to furnish clinical reports of cases so at-
tended.
This progressive mode of study does not increase
the length nor the expense of the student's course, as
no extra charge is made for the third year.
An annual course of lectures in any accredited
school will be received as equivalent to a course of
lectures in this school.
Students from such schools may enter as second or
third year students in this school, according as they
bring tickets for one or two courses of lectures, bat a
certificate of rending under a preceptor, will not be
received as equivalent to a course of lectures.
Students desiring to avail themselves of the clinical
advantages of the city, without going through the
whole course of the College, or graduating from it,
may, by special arrangement, attend such lectures as
they desire in connection with the clinics of the
school, without reference to its graded course.
Any one course of lectures may be attended sepa-
rately by students, or ladies wishing information on
that special subject.
Examinations. Students entering the graded Col-
lege course will be required to pass a preliminary ex-
amination in English branches, unless they bring a
diploma from some established literary school. An
examination will be held at the end of each term when
every student will be examined in the studies pursued
during the term. The final examination will be passed
in Anatomy. Materia Medica, Physiology, and Chem-
istry, at the end of the second year, and at the end of
the third year in Hygiene, Practice, Surgery, and Ob-
stetrics. All candidates for graduation after having
passed the Faculty of this College, go before a Board
of Examiners composed of eminent professors from
the several Medical Colleges of the City. Each suc-
cessful candidate receives a certificate bearing the
several signatures of the Board, which is an additional
guarantee of the bearer's fitness to practice.
Clinical Advantages. — The best clinical advantages
are within reach of the students of this College ; for
the New York Infirmary, with its long established
practice, places annually over seven thousand patient9
under the immediate observation of its students, and,
in Practical Obstetrics and Diseases of Women, the
students of this school have special advantages, as
all candidates for graduation are received as residents
in the Infirmary for a sufficient time to give them the
opportunity of attending a certain number of cases,
also of having practical experience in pharmacy —
putting up prescriptions, &c. The City Dispensaries
are also open to women ; one of the best of these — the
Demilt Dispensary — is within a few minutes' walk of
the College. Here over 22.000 patients are treated
annually. The diseases are divided into different
classes, as : Diseases of Skin, Heart, Lungs, Ac, and
each class is treated at specified hours, by separate
attending Physicians, and Clinics are held from 9 a.m.

students w hose means are very small, every effort will
be made to render the expenses as light as possible.
Communications from such students to the Secretary
will be considered confidential and meet with kind
consideration.
Requirements for Graduation. — Candidates for
Graduation must be twenty-one years of age — must be
of good moral character, and have received a good
general education. They must have spent three years
in the study of medicine, during which they must
have attended three Winter Sessions of lectures, and
received clinical instruction, according to the course
laid down by the school. A thesis on some medical
subject must be submitted; passing satisfactory ex-
: urinations before the Faculty and the board of Ex-
aminers will also be required. A course of lectures in
any recognized school will be accepted as one of the
terms required by the College, but the last course be-
fore graduation must have been attended at this Col-
lege. The Faculty also reserve the right to refuse
examination to a student on the ground of what
they deem to be moral or mental unfitness for the
profession.

dents may apply by letter, or personally to Dr. Mkrcy

Conn., and was then transferred to its present loca-
tion, to i scape the distracting and vicious influences
of a large suburban town. The principal graduated
at Yale, in 1847, and thirty yeais experi nee in train-
ing boys has taught him that to reach the highest re-
sults certain things are indispensable, viz: A healthy
location, an abundant, nutritious, and varied diet, en-
ergetic, systematic and yel pleasurable excercise,
thoroughly competenl and faithful teachers, ami abso-
lute freedom from vicious surroundings. The quiet,
healthful and beautiful village of North Granville,

and discipline are most earnest and thorough. The
table compares favorably with that offered by sensible
parents to their children at home. Itsgrounds, build-

passed. The school is not "cheap" in any sense,

Nijack.
Ny'ack Home Institute. — A boarding and Day
School for both sexes, pleasantly located in the vil-
lage of Nyack, N. Y., a place of rare attractions and
only 28 miles by rail or steamboat from New York
City. The pupils enjoy the advantages of a refined
and cultivated society, away from the vices and re-
straints of larger towns, whi'le the well-known health-
fulness and purity of the climate make the situation
of especial advantage for a boarding-school. The In-
stitute has a Junior and Senior Department, with Pri-
mary and Academic Studies, and is designed to
afford in the wholesome retirement of a rural neigh-
borhood and at a moderate cost, the best opportu-
nities for acquiring a thorough education.
Mrs. Lee has had a successful experience of many
years in her profession, and is acquainted with the
most advanced methods of teaching. Thorough
Scholarship in each study pursued, and a moral
training based upon religious principles are kept
constantly in view.
Having a large local patronage, the Boarding De-
partment is limited to eight, permitting a personal
supervision, and watchful care — combined with home
influence and culture — unattainable among a large
number, and affording advantages especially desir-
able for the young.
Great pains are taken to lay a good foundation
in preparatory studies, and then to carry on the work
regularly without loss of time, and with due regard to
age, health, and strength. The aim is not solely to
teach the contents of books, but to awaken an interest
in study, to impart a love of books, and, most im-
portant of all, to form habits of steady attention,
of self-control, and of thoughtfulness. The Primary
department affords thorough instruction to girls from
seven to twelve years of ajie, and is designed to prepare
them for the higher branches. Parents can feel as-
sured that in all respects a pleasant home under care-
ful supervision is provided for their children.

contain a gymnasium, ball and croquet grounds. They
are tastefully laid out and abound in a variety of fruit
and shade trees, and shrubbery.
Provisions for physical development have been
made with unusual* care, the necessity of a sound
body for a sound mind being fully appreciated. The
military drill, the gymnasium, the play-ground, and
boating and bathing in their seasons are the acces-
sories to this object.
Reports of the progress of the pupil are sent to
parents and guardians at the close of every second
month, and of their examination and standing in
their studies at the close of the year.

merchandise are actually used and have a real value,
and every transaction is just as legitimate and bona
fide as in anv mercantile, banking, or business house.
Each day's business is based upon quotations in the
New York market. It is the only institution that
turns out practically educated business men, and that
assists its graduates to situations by a systematic ar-
rangement with business houses and corporations of
the country. Tuition fee for prescribed course is

Poughkeepsie Female Academy.— This Institution,
li.cated in the beautiful city of Poughkeepsie, on the
banks, and amid the enchanting scenery of the Hud-
son, is midway between New York and Albany.
For ease of access, by railroad and steamboat ; for
healthfulness of climate, both in summer and winter;
for literary and refined society, and numerous educa-
tional, moral, and religious institutions, the location
is unsurpassed in this country.
The buildings are ample and commodious. The
rooms are large, well ventilated, lighted by gas, and
furnished with regard to taste, convenience, and com-
fort. In the Laboratory is an extensive Philosophical
and Chemical apparatus. A spacious Gymnasium,
properly furnished, is connected with the other
buildings.
The instruction, in every department, is systematic
and thorough. The Principal is assisted by Mrs.
Wright, as Matron, and by accomplished and experi-
enced Teachers. The Hector gives familiar lectures
on moral and religious subjects; also, the duties and
habits ni daily lite for the development of a strong
.mil vigorous physical system. During the year Lect-
ures are given by others on literary and scientific
subjects. The Bible is the basis of all moral and re-
ligious culture, and by it pupils are taught to form
those principles which arc essential to the aocom-
plisht a woman.
Languages. An accomplished English education,
as it is of the first importance, is heregiven the pref-
erence; but. when pupils are sufficiently advanced,
they are urged to enrich their minds with the treas-
ures of the Latin tongue; also, the German and
French. The latter is in charge of a French gentle-
man of rare accomplishments and many years' expe-
rience, who not only devotes the most of his time
to the pupils in the class-room, but meets them
New Yor k.
daily at table and in social intercourse. German is
also taught by a gentleman thoroughly qualified for
the place.
Music. — In this Department, both instrumental and
vocal, — as in every other, — there is nothing super-
ficial, the aim being to impart a thorough knowledge
of the science. A study of the old masters, as well
as the most classical composers of modern times, is
continually inculcated upon the more advanced pupils
for the development of a scholarly taste.
Course of study. — The course of study is arranged
in two Departments : Academic and t ollegiate ; the
former preparatory for the latter, which is designed
for four years, including Modern and Ancient History,
Rhetoric, the Higher Mathematics, Natural Sciences,
Mental and Moral Philosophy, Logic, English Liter-
ature, Names' Elements of Criticism, Butler's Anal-
ogy, the Fine Arts, and the Literature of the French,
German, and Latin Languages. The completion of
this Course, or its equivalent, entitles the student to
a Diploma.
In both the Academic and Collegiate Departments
much attention is given to Composition, Elocution,
and Penmanship.
Parents desirous of having their daughters enter
the Collegiate Department of Vassar College will here
find every facility for a thorough preparation. Refer-
ence is made to Faculty of the College respecting the
qualifications of those who have gone to that institu-
tion from the Academy.
Domestic Department. — Careful attention is paid by
Mrs. Wright to the health of pupils ; and, as Matron,
she endeavors to act a mothers' part towards those
entrusted to her care. The table is always plentifully
supplied with the best the market affords ; and every
effort is made to make this not only a first-class
school, but also a pleasant, happy home for girls
while being trained for life's work.
Government is parental. The manners and habits
of pupils are vigilantly supervised by all who have
charge of either Academic or Domestic Departments.
A conscientious regard for right is cherished in the
minds of the pupils; each one reporting daily her ob-
servance of the rules.
Unnecessary Expenses. — A large part of the ex-
penses of many young ladies at school is entirely un-
necessary, and what is worse, decidedly detrimental
both to themselves and their mates, and a source of
great trouble to their teachers. As to dress, we
would have our pupils "adorn themselves with
modest apparel," not with "gold or pearls, or costly
array." Let the whole school outfit be characterized
by simplicity, freedom, comfort, and perfect neatness.
Good taste requires this ; health and the interests of
the institution require it.

This Institution has one of the most beautiful and
picturesque sites in this section. The grounds are
tastefully laid out and offer every inducement for out-
door exercise. Every laudable incentive to study is
employed and the utmost care is paid to the moral
and intellectual education of the pnpils as well as to
ease, grace, and amiability of deportment, habits of
neatness, and economy.
The course of study pursued embraces the English
and French languages with all useful and ornamental
branches taught to young ladies. The Academic year
consists of two sessions : the first beginning the first
Monday in September; the second, the first Monday
in February. New pupils received at any period and

tastefully arranged, within three hundred yards of
railroad depot, and elevated, affording a view <>f the
Sound. The beautiful walks and drives, the delight-
ful scenery, and the refined social character of the in-
habitants, are among the attractive features of the
place.
The Course of Study is liberal and thorough ; none
but experienced and efficient teachers are employed
in the several departments. Strict attention is given
to the moral and religious culture of the young ladies.
Religious truth is inculcated without sectarian bear-
ing. The social intercourse between pnpils and
teachers is sought to be based on mutual confidence,
and is only limited and regulated by such rules as are
observed in cultivated families. The heart is aimed
to be cultivated as well as the manners, so that the
latter may but express the kind feelings of the former.
The usages of refined society are carefully observed.
Ample opportunities are afforded for exercising in
to open air, which is encouraged and facilitated by
large and attractive grounds handsomely laid out in
garden and lawn, ornamented by shrubbery, suffi-
ciently shaded by trees of various kinds, and sur-
rounded and intersected by walks and drives. There
are large and well-arranged croquet-grounds, so as
to be inviting to those who may wish to entertain
themselves with this species of recreation.
Frequent reviews and examinations occur during
the course, from which no pupil is excused, except
in case of sickness. Certificates of proficiency are
granted to those who have pursued their studies to
the satisfaction of their teachers, and diplomas are
awarded to those who have completed the full
course.
The school-year consists of forty weeks, commen-
cing September 16th. Board and tuition in English

The building which lias been greatly enlarged and
improved possesses conveniences adapted to the wel-
fare and comfort of the pupils. The play and parade
grounds are ample and a Drill Hall is attached for
dailv excercises and as a resort, in stormy weather.
Dr. Holbrook lias had more than thirty years" expe-
rience as principal of a school and his success has been
attested both numerically and by the warm and last-
ing friendships that have been formed with pupils and
parents. The discipline of the school is pursuasive
rather than imperative.
The chief aim of the Principal is to build up manly
Christian character, and to secure, as he feels justified
in saying he has heretofore so successfully done, a
voluntary submission to law
Those hours have been selected for recitation and
study which, in the long experience of the Principal,
have proved best adapted for the purpose. It is the
aim of the Principal to engage competent and earnest
teachers who shall stimulate vigorous effort on the
part of pupils.
The Military Department, under the charge of a
competent instructor, might properly come under the
head of discipline. It is found to be promotive of
habits of order and obedience, and thus facilitates
mental pro esses and studious habits. It also se-
cures a sufficient amount of exercise to any who
may not be inclined to go to the play-ground, and
also begets an erect carriage, a fuller physical de-
velopment, and good manners. It will, however, be
subordinated to the higher purposes of the school
as an academical institution. To promote the in-
terests of this department and secure uniformity, a
prescribed dress is required.
Terms: Board and tuition for the year, including
Latin, Greek, French and German, all the English
branches, washing, light, and ordinary mending,
$400.00, payable $200.00 at the beginning of the school
year, and $200.00 on the first of January. An extra

In History, Mathematics, and English studies gen-
erally, the three Courses are identical. French may

taken in all the sanitary regulations of the school.
The rooms are well ventilated, thoroughly warmed,
and furnished with regard to comfort and convenience.
The table is always carefully and abundantly sup-
plied. A portion of each day is set apart for out-door
exercise*
The school combines the advantages of a first-class
Literary Institution with the well ordered proprieties
of a Christian home. Since the number of boarders
is limited, the individuality of the pupil is not lost.
Each comes under the direct influence of the Princi-
pal, and particular care is given to culture, deport-
ment, health, thorough systematic study, and orderly
habits in all things. No pupil will be retained in the
school who is persistently negligent of duty, or whose
influence is plainly felt to be injurious.
The Course of Study i3 comprised in four Depart-
ments — Primary, Junior, Academic, and Collegiate.
There is a special course for those who design to en-
ter Vassar College, or prepare for the Harvard exam-
inations.
Instruction in French is under the direction of an
able and experienced native teacher, and the lan-
guage is spoken at prescribed times by the pupils.
Instrumental Music and Vocal Culture receive much
attention. All pupils in music are expected to take
part in frequent private rehearsals. Vocal Music in
class is taught by a Professor, without extra charge.
— The pupils are thoroughly instructed in the prin-
ciples of Elocution by a competent teacher. Lect-
ures on Philosophy, Chemistry, &c, are given during
the year.
Pupils can enter at any time and will be charged
from the date at which they enter to the end of the
school year, unless otherwise provided by special
agreement at the time of admission. A liberal dis-
count made in favor of the daughters of clergymen of
all denominations, also for two or more pupils from
the same family. The school year commences on the
Wednesday nearest the middle of September, and
continues till the fourth week in June. It is divided
into four quarters of ten weeks each. Terms : for
Boarding Scholars — Board and Tuition, Primary and
Junior Departments, each $300.00 per annum ;
Academic and Collegiate Departments, each $325.00
per annum. For further information, address Miss
M. W. Metcalf, Principal, Tarrytown-on-the-Hud-

Irving Institute. — Located at Tarrytown, on the
Hudson River, within an hour's ride from New York.
The buildings are eligibly situated on high ground,
command charming views of the Hudson, and are
sufficiently retired to be exempt from the unfavorable
influence of town life. The sleeping apartments are
light and cheerful, supplied with gas, and well venti-
lated. The Assembly Room is spacious and airy, is
furnished on the most approved plan, and is supplied
with all needful apparatus to conduct the work of
education. A Library and Reading-room, adjoining
the parlors of the Institute, has been handsomely
fitted up and liberally supplied with books and peri-
odicals suited to the tastes and necessities of youth.
The grounds are ample and attractive, well-shaded,
and afford every facility for out-door recreation.
The object of the school is to prepare boys for
business or college. The instruction is designed to be
thorough. The Principal has had a wide experience in
the work of education in this and other institutions,
and will spare no pains to make the progress of
the pupils under his charge a real one. Students on
admission are examined and classed according to
their abilities and attainments. To insure the highest
culture, frequent lecturers on instructive subjects are
given to the school, and a special course, illustrated
with experiments, on Chemistry and Natural Phi-
losophy.
The school is limited in number, with a view both
to maintain its select character and to secure to the
scholars that degree of personal care and attention
which is not practicable in a large institution. The
New Yo rk.
health of the pupils is regarded as of first importance
and the aim constantly is to combine study and rec-
reation, mental labor, and physical exercise. liy
gymnastic exercises, properly and judiciously con-
ducted, all the best results of the military drill are
secured, without any of its evils.
The school-year consists of one session, commencing
on the second Thuesday in September and ending on
the third Friday in June. There are two intermis-
sions, one at Christmas, and the other at Easter.
There are two courses of instruction, a C lassical and
a Commercial course, designed respectively to pre-
pare for college or business. Those pupils, who are
not sufficiently advanced to enter upou either course
will be assigned to preparatory studies.
Terms : For board, tuition, and necessary expenses,
per annum, $500.00; Instruction on the Piano, or
other instrument, or in vocal culture, per half- ses-
sion, $40.00 ; Drawing, or Painting, $20.00. Tuition
of Day Scholars, per annum, $100.00. Address for
catalogues and all desired information, A. Armagnac,
A.M., Principal, Takkytown-on-the-Hudson, N.Y.
Jackson Military Institute.— The plan of this school
is framed with judicious reference to the best culture
of the pupils, imparting to them a thorough prepara-
tion for business, or admission to college, to the West
Point Military Academy, or to the Naval Acadtmy at
Annapolis. The locality is especially free from temp-
tations, and is one which, in all respects, is most
desirable for a boarding-school. The buildings and
grounds are ample, well-shaded, attractive, and home-
like. The school-rooms are commodious, well yenti-
lated, and supplied with furniture of the latest
style, adapted to the greatest comfort and health oi
the pupils.
After more than twenty-five years of personal ex-
perience in school management the Principal cher-
ishes an abiding faith in the doctrine that the per-
fection of discipline consists in the union of kindness,
decision, and firmness. Corporal punishment is never
allowed. Rather than resort to such extreme, not to
say doubtful, measures, the incorrigible offender will
be restored to his parents. Due attention is given to
physical training. To secure the best development
in this direction, those methods are adopted which
unite Recreation with Exercise, including gymnastics
and the Military Drill. The military feature made,
not the end, but the means to a higher end, as it exists
in this and other similar institutions, has proved its
great utility as an element in the system of education.
It is enough to say — what experience confirms — that
without any evils, it has, among others, the following
important advantages: ( 1 ) It is regular and system-
atic. (2) It produces the best muscular development.
(3) It gives an erect, manly, and graceful bearing.
(4) It promotes neatness of person and of dress.
(5) It fosters gentlemanly deportment. (6) It secures
ready obedience to proper authority. (7) It teaches
order, self-control, promptness, and exactness, all oj
ivhich are essential elements of success in any depart-
ment of business or professional life.
The Business Department is designed to meet the
wants of those who may desire to devote their atten-
tion exclusively to those branches deemed essential
in preparation for commercial pursuits. Special pro-
vision is made for those who desire to fit themselves
for employment in the attractive and ever-widening
field of Telegraphy. Pupils will be thoroughly in-
structed, theoretically and practically, making them
masters of Telegraphy, both as a Science and an Art.

glish branches, the Classics, and Modern Languages,

Trinity Kindergarten.
Ursuline Convent of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
This Institution, incorporated with the privileges of a
College, is under the direction of the Ursuline Nuns,
whose principal end and aim being the instruction of
young girls in Christian piety and becoming manners,
every incentive to virtue, science, and refinement is
strenously employed.
The spiritual charge of the house is intrusted to one
of the Rev. Jesuit Fathers, and the greatest possible
attention is given to the religious training of the pu-
pils ; this feature, combined with the thorough method
of instruction, and the unrivaled advantages of the
musical department, renders this Institution worthy,
in a peculiar manner, of the patronage of a discrim-
inating public.
The system of discipline is firm and uniform, yet
mild, the "home principle" predominating. Every
care is taken to promote the health of the pupils ;
active exercise in the open air is enforced by rule.
The Course of Studies embraces all the branches
necessary to the acquisition of a solid and refined
education. Gold medals and diplomas are conferred
on graduates. Special classes are formed for those
who wish to become teachers.
A fine library of choice and standard works is open
to the young ladies (free of charge), and every effort
is made to refine their minds by a judicious course of
reading under the direction of their respective teach-
ers. No boarder received unless well recommended.
N. B. — On account of the great scarcity of money
at the present time, applications for the admission of
pupils at reduced terms, will receive the most favor-
able consideration that the circumstances of the In-
stitution will admit.

Shortlidge, Principal, Media, Pa.
(From Media Record, Media, Pennsylvania, June J9th, 1878.)
"A recent visit of inspection to Mr. Shoktlidge's Media
Academy has afforded us much pleasure, which we are
sure our readers will be glad to share through the col-
umns of the Recobd.
Pennsy l vania .
This institution has, in Media, a favored location, on
account of our temperance charter, the churches, mail,
telegraph, railroad, and other facilities. But aside from
these, its brilliant success is due largely to other eau-<
which we shall briefly note.
The school and grounds at this season present a fine
appearance, and the students who remain lor the sum-
mer, are enjoying in turn a short daily school session,
base ball, quiet and rest on the lawn under the beautilul
shade trees, fishing, boating, and a score of amusements
which only a schoof boy knows.
The building which presents such a fine exterior, is a
model for school purposes in its appointments. As you
enter the large half, you notice on each hand fine cabi-
nets of minerals, fully illustrating Dana's Manual, and at
the far end of the large school room, cases of philosoph-
ical apparatus, to afford full practical experiments in the
ordinary text-books on pneumatics, hydraulics, hydro-
statics, mechanicat powers, efectricity, galvanism, optics,
acoustics, astronomy, etc. On the wafis hang charts' and
maps to expfain many subjects, such as geography, his-
tory, physioiogy, literature, etc., and there is biackboard
surface by the hundred square feet. Adjoining the school
room are two other class rooms, all supplied with ap-
propriate furniture, maps, etc., for class work. In the
story below the school rocm are two other class rooms,
and a laboratory fitted tip with cases, gas, and the other
appointments for chemical analysis. In the three upper
stories are the students' rooms, which look like first-
class hotel accommodations. You see here nothing of
the old boarding school dormitory. These rooms are for
two, and are fitted out with neat cottage suits, including
bureau, wardrobe, singfe or double bedstead, as the pu-
pils prefer, good mattress and piflows, blankets, neat
white spreads, etc., wash-stand, wash-bowl, pitcher, etc.,
and towel-rack and table. Most of them are tastefully
ornamented with pictures, and have a strip of carpet
spread on the clean looking oiled floor. There are filty-
five of these rooms for the students. While in the upper
stories we enjoyed a view of theDef aware river nearty as .ar
as Philadelphia. On our return to the first floor we noticed
the large dining room, capable of seating one hundred
pupifs. This is used af so lor some of the school lectures,
of which Mr. Shortlidge has a large number each year,
on the different branches pursued. The dining and culi-
nary departments of the school are complete and receive
no less attention from Mr. and Mrs. Shortlidge than the
scholastic department. It is the testimony of the entire
school, instructors and students, without exception, that
the tabfe is excellent, and everybody knows that a school
boy's appetite needs a good caterer.
Looking over the catalogue and circular, we notice the
academy is recommended and patronized by some of the
best known men in the country. By Judge Van Hoesen
of New York, Governor Routt of Coiorado, Chief Justice
Hawfey of Nevada, John F. Robinson, Esq., of Arkansas;
J. Lee Hopkins of Tennessee, Gen. Martin, M.C., of Illi-
nois,[Commander Breese, of the U. S. N., Prof. Btauveft,
U. S. Navat Academy, Gen. Chas. H. T. Collis, of Phila-
delphia, Samuel Bancroit, of Pennsylvania, Col. Joshua
Clayton, of Delaware, Col. John Tilghman, of Maryland,
Mr. C.A. Trowbridge, of N. Y., Manuel Garcia, etc. During
the past year Hon. Fernando Wood of New York City, had
two sons with Mr. Shortlidge. But whether the sons of
men so well known as the above or not the students are afl
of the best and most desirable class of patrons, as the
reputation they have established in Media will attest.
The testimonials from many of the patrons are of the
most discriminating and flattering character, commend-
ing the location, the accommodations, the diseiptine and
home-like character, the methods of instruction, the
thoroughness and efficiency characterizing the entire
institution.
We might add much to this hasty sketch, but space
wiit not aftow. It is sufficient to quote so good an
authority as Richard J. Hinton of California, whose sen
was at the school three years. '' Parents find it not only
a good school, but a home-like, cheerful establishment,
where rational ideas of training combine to make that
wholesome mental, moral, and physical atmosphere
which is so necessary to the growth of heafthy youth."
(From the Media "American," Media, Penn. , June VAili, 1S78.)
"This Institution closed its fourth schoof year in Media,
on Thursday last. Mr. Shortlidge did not interrupt the
regular class work at the end of the term by any exercises
which may be called a " Commencement." We are glad,
however, in reporting the closing exercises of our insti-
tutions of learning, to include the Media Academy, re-
ferring in general to the work of the year. The school
opened September 10th, and closed June 14th, 1878.

STEIGER'S EDUCATIONAL DIRECTORY FOR 1878
Penn syl vania .
There were ten teachers and one hundred pupils. The
corps of instructors comprises one Harvard graduate,
four Yale graduates, a French professor, a German pro-
fessor, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a
professor of book-keeping and penmanship, and a pro-
fessor of vocal and instrumental music. The courses of
studv are English, business, scientific, and classical. Pu-
pils have bi en fitted at the Academy this year to enter
Yale, Princeton, Lehigh, and Latayette Colleges, but a far
larger number were fitting for business.
Altogether the past year was the most successful Mr.
sli> ir i hi 1. The class ofyoung men and boys was
unusually excellent. The students won the respect of our
citizens by their uniformly gentlemanly demeanor: they
always sho we I a lignifled self-respect, not generally char-
acteristic >i school-boys, which speaks well for the disci-
pline and influence of the Academy. We gladly make re-
cord of this, as it was noticed by our people, and favorably
commented upon by all. But it is not surprising that
Mr. 8hortlidge has built up a first-class Institution in our
Borough. He is unwearied in his work, scarcely ever
leaving the Academy for even an hour at a time during
school sessions : every department thus feels at all times
the master's presence. We predict for the Media Academy
increased popularity and usefulness."

Academy of the Visitation. — Established 1848.
Commandingly situated at Mount de Chantal, about
three miles from Wheeling. The unrivaled health-
fulness of the locality, the pure mountain air, whole-
some country diet, and facilities for out-door exercises
and innocent amusements offer peculiar advantages
to pupils of delicate constitutions.
The course of instruction embraces all the usual
requisites of a thorough and accomplished education.
The institution possesses an excellent philosophical
and chemical apparatus and also a library of choice
and standard works. French is taught, not merely in
the class but practically, by conversation. The re-
nown for superiority in music is so wide-spread as to
have made this Academy almost a national one. One
point in particular that should recommend Mount
de Chantal to the sensible parent is the influence
exercised to form the pupils in views and habits of
economy. Simplicity in dress is enforced by rule. The
rates for board and tuition are exceedingly moderate.
Terms, per session of five months, $100.00 ; Music,
$21.00. For further particulars, address the Dikec-
