The Kelvin School

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1835.
FEMALE SCHOOL.
The Exercises of Mrs. Edward Jones' Private Boarding School for Young Ladies at Kelvin, near Pittsborough, having just closed for the Second Session of the present year, will be resumed on the 1st Monday in February next.
In order to prevent misunderstanding, it is thought expedient to mention, that as Mrs. Jones has been obliged to refuse many applicants for places in the School, and does not wish to depart from her original plan of accommodating only such a number of young Ladies as may be subjected to family government, Mr. William Harden, whose residence is near that of Mrs. J. has been induced by his interest in the School to receive into his family a small number of pupils, who will be, as far as practicable, subjected to the same government as those placed in Mrs. Jones' family.
The aid which Miss C. Jones will necessarily require in giving instruction to an increased number of pupils, will be rendered by Mr. Harden and the Rev. P. B. Wiley, gentlemen already experienced in the instruction of youth.
Persons wishing to place their children or wards in this school, are requested to give early notice.
Terms.—$75 per Session for Board, Tuition, Books, Stationary, &c. &c.
Music, Drawing and Painting are taught by experienced instructors, and form separate charges.
