HILLSBOBOUGH FEMALE SEMINARY, 1833.
The Winter Examinations of this Institution took place on the 3d inst. The next Session will commence on the 11th January, 1833.
The true test of character of all Schools is the proficiency of their pupils in sound and useful learning, and not in the number and title* of the names by which they are recommended.—As the above Institution has now been more than seven years in successful operation, its Instructors would fearlessly, though modestly appeal to the fruits of their past labors in proof of the honesty and ability with which they have hitherto fulfilled their trust, and as the surest pledge of their fidelity for the time to come. Their pupils are now scattered in every section of the State, and of their profiency generally an enlightened public can judge for themselves.
The health of the Superintendent being restored, he will again take part in the instruction of the higher classes, as well as exercise a general control over the whole School.
Board may be obtained in the most respectable families of the place at from $8 to $10 per month. Tuition from $10 to $15 per Session. Music, $24. Drawing and Painting, $10. Needle-work, from $1 to $3.
Hillsborough, Dec. 1832. W. M. Green, Superintendent.
