PRIVATE FEMALE BOARDING SCHOOL
In the Family of Prof. Phillips,
Chapel Hill.
This School has now been in operation eighteen months, and has sufficiently proved to its friends the groundlessness of their fears respecting its location. The many oportunities for mental improvement, afforded by the Libraries, Apparatus and Public Lectures of the University, present a strong claim to the attention of enlightened Parents and Guardians.
The next Session commences the 16th inst. and will continue five months. The price of board and literary instruction, varies from 75 to 85 dollars per Session. Music and other ornamental branches at the usual prices. The French language will be taught orally by Mons. Maret, an accomplished French gentleman, who will also give lessons in Drawing and Painting.
Payments, in all cases, to be made in advance.
Chapel Hill, July 7, 1838. Julia Phillips, Principal.
