KELVIN SCHOOL UNDER W. H. HARDIN, 1836.
Private Boarding School, for Young Ladies, at Kelvin, Near Pittsborough.
This Institution, long known as Mrs. Edward Jones' School, will hereafter be conducted under the joint superintendence and instruction of Miss Charlotte C. Jones, and Mr. W. H. Hardin. The next session will commence on the first Monday in February next, and continue until the middle of July, including a short vacation, when the second session of the year 1836 will commence; which will terminate on the 12th of December. A competent Assistant will be employed, if necessary. It is in contemplation to enlarge the accommodations for the school, and before the beginning of the next session, it is expected that every school-room convenience for each Young Lady will be provided.
As it is determined to preserve the private character of the school, the Pupils will board in the families of the Teachers; exceptions to this rule will only be made to meet peculiar circumstances and the special wishes of friends and relations.
Terms—Board, (including every necessary), Tuition, Stationary and the use of School Books, $75. per Session. Music and Drawing will form Separate Charges. Books and stationary will be furnished to the day scholars who reside in the Village and Vicinity, and those who may board in other families, at moderate prices.
