MR. & MRS. HARDENS SCHOOL,
At Kelvin, near Pittsborough, N. C.
Is limited to 20 or 25 young Ladies, of whom 8 or 10 will be received into their family. The terms are, for those who board in the family $80 per session. This charge includes Board, Tuition, &c. except Music and Drawing. Tuition for day Scholars, $20 per session, Music $22.50. Use of Piano, $2.50. Drawing and Painting $10. The course of instruction includes all the branches usually taught in Female Academies.
The object in limiting the number of pupils is to give that particular attention to them which cannot be well afforded when the number is large.
The present session will close on the 27th of April, and the next will commence the 1st of June and close on the 27th of October. Thus making the vacations fall in the months of May and November.
