REMARKS UPON THE COURSE OF STUDY.
Much care has been taken in arranging a course of study so as to pro- vidle for those who wish to prepare for College, as well as for those who do not anticipate the completion of more than an academic course. It will be noticed that in Literature and Natural Science, the course is but little shorter than that laid down in most colleges, while a sufficient amount of Mathematics and Latin has been retained to afford good mental discipline, and also to meet most of the practical demands of a business life. Opportunity will be afforded to pursue those studies further when- ever classes sufficiently large can be formed.
EXAMINATIONS.
Public examinations occur at the close of the 2d and 3d Terms. Stu- dents are frequently required to pass written examinations on the ad- vancement made during previous portions of the Term. No student, either when first entering school, or afterwards, will be allowed to enter any Grade or Department who can not pass a satisfactory examination on the preceding studies of the course.
LECTURES.
Lectures are given frequently on literary and scientific subjects. Those on Natural Science are illustrated by experiments with chemical and philosophical apparatus when the subject requires them.
The Lecture Association, formed by the citizens, furnishes opportunity for hearing some of the most distinguished lectures of the United States. Anna B. Dickinson is among those engaged for the coming winter.

LIBRARY.
There is a valuable library of several hundred volumes in connection with the school, to which students have access upon the payment of a very small fee. Two thousand dollars have been subscribed by the citi- zens of the vicinity for the purpose of increasing the library, five hundred dollars of which will be expanded the ensuing year.
BOARDING.
The cost of boarding the past year has ranged from $3.00 to $3.25 per week. There is a boarding-house near the school, the rooms of which will be rented to young women who wish to board themselves. To these, the cost need not exceed $1.50 or $2.00 per week. A stove, bed- stead, two chairs and a table are provided for each room, the occupants furnishing such other articles as they may need. The proprietors of the building or the Principal of the school will attend to furnishing wood and provisions when it is desired. There are some rooms in the village which can be rented by young men desirous of boarding themselves. The boarding house will be under the care of competent Superintendents.
GENERAL ITEMS.
The school is under the care of the Society of Friends, and students will be expected to attend their Sabbath School and meeting for worship. unless they attend those of some other denomination. Each student should be furnished with a Bible.
Students are required to observe study hours during the evening. Evening parties and late hours strictly prohibited. A majority of those taking boarders have agreed to assist the Principal in carrying these regu- lations into effect, so that parties from a distance who may place their children in this school, may rely upon having them under their watchful care and a home influence.
A gentleman who resides in the village owns an excellent Telescope with a four and a half inch Objeet Glass, and six feet focal distance; and arrangements have been made with him for classes in Astronomy to have the privilege of using the instrument.
The are no beer, liquor or billiard saloons in the village.
No student will be retained in the school whose influence is known to have a corrupting and immoral tendency.

'There is a valuable library of several hundred volumes in con- nection with the school, to which students have access upon the payment of a very small fee. Two thousand dollars have been subscribed by the citizens of the vicinity, for the purpose of in- creasing the library, five hundred dollars of which will be ex- pended the ensuing year.
