FEMALE ACADEMY ANNOUNCEMENTS.
MORGANTON FEMALE ACADEMY.
This institution will continue the current Year under the management of the Rev. Chauncey Eddy, Mrs. Eddy, and Miss Parkman, the same as the last year.
The discipline and course of studies are the same as those adopted in the most approved seminaries of New England and New York.
The first quarter of the present year has already commenced, but admission can be obtained at any time, and the bills will be made out from the time of admission.
As the object of the institution is the intellectual, and religious improvement of the Young Ladies, the instructors feel themselves bound to exercise an attentive guardianship over them,—to check their desires for vulgar and degrading amusements, and to direct their attention to such things as are calculated to refine the manners, enlarge the mind and improve the heart. Good boarding can be obtained, either at the Academy, with the Instructors, or in the immediate vicinity, at the rate of eighty dollars per year.
Terms, $6.25 per quarter; or $5, when instruction in Painting is not required; payable at the end of each quarter.
