SALISBURY ACADEMY TEACHERS AND COURSE OF STUDY, 1838.
SALISBURY FEMALE ACADEMY.
Mrs. Hutchison begs leave to inform her friends and the public generally, that the exercises of this Institution will, by divine permission, recommence on the 10th of October next.
With the hope of rendering the new Female Academy of Salisbury, worthy the liberality of the founders, and of North Carolina, she has associated with herself, teachers, in whose talents and acquirements, as well as dispositions and principles, she feels the highest confidence, and thus she is enabled to recommend them to the patronage of a deserving public, and to engage in her own name and theirs', that every measure shall be pursued, and every exertion used, which promises to promote the moral, mental and personal improvement of all who may be entrusted to their care. She believes the measures pursued in her School-Room, happily calculated to form the female character for stations of high usefulness in society. She appeals for living examples to the multitude of her scholars widely scattered over the Southern and Western States, who, she trusts, will be to her School a sufficient letter of Recommendation.
The Literary Department will be under her own personal charge, the Ornamental under that of her neice, Miss SARAH LOUISA NYE, of New York. To Miss EMMA J. BAKER is committed the Department of Music. The high qualifications of this young lady, as a teacher on the Piano and Guitar, place her among the most successful teachers of the present day. To the Rev. S. FRONTIS, whose character is too well established to need recommendation, and whose superior talents as an instructor in the French language, (his native tongue,) are extensively known, will be entrusted the class in French.
Excellent Board can be obtained for the Pupils, either at Col. Lenity's with the teachers, or in other highly respectable families, where every proper care will be taken to promote their improvement and conduct.
