HOLLISTER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR 1831.
SOUTHERN FEMALE CLASSICAL SEMINARY, Oxford, N. C.
The next session will commence on Monday the 10th of January next. The School will continue to be conducted by Mr. & Mrs. Hollister, to be assisted by a young lady well qualified for the business and acquainted with their plan of instruction. Miss Huntley, whose superior qualifications are well known, will continue to instruct in Music. She will bring with her on her return from Philadelphia, an additional Piano, so that the pupils in Music will have the use of two good Pianos.
The course of instruction is more extensive than in most female academies, calculated to improve the judgment and the reasoning powers, as well as the memory of the pupils, and adapted to their moral as well as intellectual nature.
The pupils who reside with the instructors, are under a parental care, and have the advantage of a genteel and intelligent society in a circle where their moral feelings as well as manners may be improved.
The terms for board and tuition in the branches comprised in the course of study, are $55 per session; Music $25; Drawing and Painting $10; French or Latin $10, payable in advance. No other extra charges are made. Books and stationary are furnished, if desired, at the New York prices. Scholars are received at any time, and charged only from the time of their entrance. Application for admission of scholars may be made to the Rev. E. H. Hollister, Oxford, N. C.
