SALEM FEMALE BOARDING SCHOOL.
The Trustees of the Boarding School for Female Education in Salem, Stokes county, N. C. under the direction of the Rev. Abraham Steiner, deem it their duty to give notice to such Parents and Guardians, as may have it in contemplation to avail themselves of this Institution, that the Seminary is at present much crowded, and a sufficient number of candidates on the list, for the vacancies which may take place in the course of at least eight months, and to refer them particularly to that part of the terms of said Institution, in which it is requested, "That no child may be brought or sent without previous application having been made to the Inspector, the Rev. Abraham Steiner, and leave obtained by him in writing, appointing the time of admittance."
