The tablet of honor, weekly notes, monthly tickets, semi- annual examinations and bulletins, annual distribution of pre- miunis, gold crosses and crowns, are among the many means made use of to excite the love of study in the minds of pupils, and to reward the diligent.
The course of study is very thorough and extensive, cmbrac- ing all the hranches of a solid and ornamental education. Seven years are required to complete a full academic course, commenc- ing in the primary department, and four years, commencing in the senior department of French, or German and English. Addi- tional time will be necessary where pupils intend to graduate in a classical course.
All students entering the institution will be expected to take the regular academic, classical, artistic, or musical course, unless allowed, for satisfactory reasons, to pursue special studies. But every possible facility will be afforded to those students who find it desirable to devote their whole attention to single branches, or to a limited number, selected with some special reference, either in continuing favorite studies, or to fit themselves. for some future occupation.
The scientific departments receive careful attention. Lectures are given through the year by professors from the University of Notre Dame, or by distinguished visitors.
The institution possesses an excellent set of chemical and phi- losophical apparatus, choice and extensive herbariums of foreign and native plants, a fine library, and botanical garden.
Each department of the institution - that is, senior, prepara- tory and junior - has its own regularly organized reading society, presided over by their respective teachers, in which two hours every Wednesday afternoon are devoted to reading aloud care- fully selected works from approved authors. The pupils at this time are taught to exercise judicious criticisms, either orally, or in writing.
Great attention is given to rhetorical exercises, letter-writing, and The ability to read aloud, not only pressive power which brings out the full force and beauty of the

It often happens that pupils enter at St. Mary's who are far Are taught by native teachers, and are very familiarly spoken by Mary's, and the growth of each may well be a matter of just pride advanced in some branches, but quite deficient in others.

certain hours of recreation to conversing with their respective teachers in these tongues. The French forms a portion of the regular academic course ; German, Italian and Spanish are optional.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARIMENT.
While the solid studies are regarded as the most important, much attention is given to those lighter and more graceful accom- plishments which throw a charm over domestic life and contrib- ute so essentially to elevate the tone of society at large.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION,

Pupils of all denominations received; and while the utmost each.

they would not only find a home during the trying years of school- girl life, but from which they would carry the germs of those noble womanly graces which must be the guerdon of the future glory of our republic. With the energy which 'marks an earnest purpose, the house at Bertrand was brought to the banks of the St. Joseph, and made the nucleus of the wooden buildings which, until 1859, were nestled among these groves. The present substantial brick academy, with its spacious and airy halls, its study and recitation rooms, library and museum, music halls and studio its well venti- lated dormitories and refectories, is still only the beginning of good things to come. When the whole plan has been carried out. the present Si. Mary's will be found to occupy only one-third of the St. Mary's which stands in the far-seeing eyes of its superiors.
But even as we now see it, after twenty years of industry and conscientious labor, how richly has this labor been rewarded ! The stranger finds, on his first visit to St. Mary's, an unexpected charm in this spot, so removed from all the busy turmoil of the day and age, and yet full, to overflowing, with all the most sacred interests of humanity. Meeting here seclusion without solitude, simplicity without rusticity, he sees the very place suited to carry out his own ideas of education; while for those who have spent years among these scenes of peaceful beauty, no description of St. Mary's can ever convey an adequate idea of its charms for the eye, the heart and the imagination. The young girl coming from the secluded homestead of some western town or territory, loses none of her simplicity under this open sky, among these quiet groves, or along the varied path which follows the winding of this high bank overlocking the river, and the meadows, and
the distant town ; while the young girl from the city becomes and Syntactical Analysis finished), natural philosophy (Canot's), acquainted with Nature without losing the wholesome restraints of society, and even finds gracefulness of manner considered happy buoyancy of spirits, which it is so difficult to preserve for the young in the atmosphere of towns and cities, is the natural result of the out-door life at St. Mary's. Exercise comes as a matter of course, and brings pleasure; instead of being an irk- some necessity, as it is so often under less favorable conditions; since nature has done for St. Mary's what no industry of inven- tion on the part of the Sisters could ever supply.
Here, therefore, the "Grading System " obtains all the advan- tages it possesses, and sets aside the drawback to which it is exposed when a pupil is obliged to continue in his class until he is suffi- ciently proficient in every branch to be promoted to a superior one. At St. Mary's, pupils are advancing in each branch of studies according to their progress and proficiency in each.
