MISS BOBBITT’S SCHOOL, 1830.
The public are informed that the subscriber will recommence the duties of her school on Monday next, and will be prepared to accommodate young ladies, as boarders, at the moderate price of fifty dollars per scholastic year of ten months.   Tuition for advanced students will be ten dollars per session; for those in the minor branches, seven dollars and fifty cents. The course of studies in this Academy will embrace spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, rhetoric, moral philosophy, history and painting; also plain and ornamental needle work. To the moral deportment of the pupils, as well as to their literary acquirements, particular attention will be paid. For further particulars, reference may be made to those who have attended the different examinations of the students of this institution. In conclusion the subscriber would add, that the academy is situated in a healthy and elevated section of country; nine miles from Louis-burg, Franklin county, on Sims' road. This, added to an experience of three years devoted to the instruction of youth in Virginia, will, it is hoped, secure a share of patronage.
