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.

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

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.

admitted at any time during the session.

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.

The building is pleasantly located on one of the finest

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.

offers to her pupils superior advantages for a thorough 
education in the usual English branches, Music, the

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.

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

Young Ladies' Institute. — This school is thor- 
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.

Westfield. 

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. 

Further information will cheerfully be given by the 
Principal in response to applications, either in person 
or by letter. Address Mrs. E. H. Ladd, Principal,

Madam Groschel's Select Family School for

the Principal to make this school* as select as possible 
in order that pupils may receive all possible atten- 
tion. The number of boarding pupils has therefore 
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. 

For terms or circulars, apply to Madame Oroschel.

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.

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.

Kraus-Boelte, Principals. 

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, 
nestled among the hills of north-eastern New York, 
oilers rare attractions to thougthful parents. It docs' 
not contain a single saloon, or haunt of vice, nor can

and discipline are most earnest and thorough. The 
table compares favorably with that offered by sensible 
parents to their children at home. Itsgrounds, build- 
ings, and equipment have cost $00,000, and are unsur- 
passed. The school is not "cheap" in any sense, 
but its facilities are confidently offered to such pa- 
trons as desire to give their sons the best advantages, 
and are willing to pay for value received. Send for

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.

Portchester Commercial, Collegiate, and Military 
Institute. — Portchester is pleasantly situated on Long 
Island Sound, twenty-five miles from New York City, 
and is in frequent daily communication with it, by 
the New Haven and Hartford Railroad. It is noted 
for its healthfulness, its pleasant surroundings, and 
its beautiful scenery. 

The buildings of the Institute are ample for the 
accommodation of twenty-five boarding pupils. The 
entire building is heated by steam, lighted by gas, 
and furnished with bath and wash-rooms of modern 
appointment. In these respects the building is sec- 
ond to none in the country. 

The course of study in 'the Institute is liberal and 
designed to qualify tlie pupil for his entrance in any 
of the business pursuits of life, or for his admission 
into College, the Naval Academy, or West Point. 

The Principal has had twenty -one years' experience 
in his profession. He will be the companion of those 
entrusted to his care that he may be their constant 
mentor in their studies, in their recreations, and in 
the home circle, and thus avail himself of every 
opportunity, as it arises, for their improvement. He 
is assisted by a liberal number of Professors, gentle- 
men of excellence and ability in their respective 
departments. 

The grounds comprise four and a half acres. They 
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.

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

New York. 

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 
charge is made of $2.00 for stationery, .?.">. 0*') for pew rent. 
A charge of $5.00 is also made to cover, in part, the 
expenses of closing exercises, also $1 .00 for library. 
Music $70.00 per year and $10.00 for use of piano. Rev.

appointed. 

'1 he curriculum embraces three Courses of Study, 
designed to prepare boys for the Universities, the 
United States Military Academy, the Naval School, or 
Lusiness: 

1. A Classical Course, including Latin and Greek. 

2. A Semi-Classical Course, including Latin, and 
German or the Elements of Physical Science.

Science. 

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

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. 

Terms : For board, ordinary washing and mending, 
bed and bedding, fuel, gas, and tuition in all the En- 
glish branches, the Classics, and Modern Languages, 
per School- Year, $450.00.

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.

and a Temperance 'Charter. Address Swithin C. 
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-
