Jennie June says : " It is the brightest, most home-like and progressive boarding-school I ever saw."
A prominent physician in Utica, N. Y., says : " I don't believe my daugh- ter could have profited SO MUCH IN EVERY WAY in any other school .in the world." 1
Mary J .. Safford, M. D., of Boston, says : " I believe you are honestly try- ing to EDUCATE AND NOT VENEER young women for life's duties."
LASELL SEMINARY FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
AUBURNDALE (Near Boston), MASS.
Suggests to parents seeking a good school, consideration of the fol- lowing points in its methods : -
1st. Its Special Care of the Health of Growing Girls .- Our pupils receive the daily attention of a lady physician, and her instruction in matters of health, with constant references to their school life. Work and recreation are suited to individual cases. The table is supplied with an abundance of the best food, in unusually great variety, and well cooked. Hours are arranged for early and long sleep. There are fre- quent excursions that combine illustration with pleasant diversion. There are none of the oft-repeated but, in the main, useless and hurtful test examinations, and like nervous exhaustives are avoided.
2d. Thorough Instruction in a Broadly-Planned Course of Study quite above the grade of most seminaries, or in special courses to suit special cases. Students from our regular Freshman and Sophomore classes have gone without condition into the full classical course in Smith, Vassar, Boston, etc.
3d. Its thoroughly home-like air and character. - A judicious motherly care takes the place, for the most part, of given rules; the pupils soon feel that they are loved and trusted, and respond naturally to this trust and are at their best. The system of control (peculiar to this school), of self-goverment, after a successful probation, appeals to the best motives and rarely fails to strengthen in each young woman a sense of responsibility to herself and her honor that is most valuable forever. The number of boarding pupils is limited, giving opportunity for individual care in habits of person, reading, manners, etc., etc .- trifles, perhaps, but yet important in a woman's furnishing for life.
4th. The Handiwork Department .- Boston specialists instruct in cooking, dress-cutting, millinery, art needle-work, and other unusual branches deemed useful for women, whether ever required for self-sup- port or not. There is no requiring certain housework for each pupil, but these branches are placed upon the same basis as History, Music, book-keeping, or any of the branches taught.
The special facilities for instruction of a high grade, by reason of its nearness to Boston, and the consequent employment of teachers for certain work, who could not be had at a school further removed.
Parents are invited to consult the Catalogue. Regular expenses 8400 for the school year .- Atlantic, August, 1880.
