PRAISE MRS. LADD.
ROLESVILLE ACADEMY,
Wake County, N. C. The undersigned, Trustees of this institution, convened at the Academy on Monday the 17th day of June, 1833, and, after patient and diligent attention to the examination of the pupils attached to the institution, think it no exaggeration to say, that, considering the youth of some, and the imperfection of nearly all in the rudiments of education at their commencement in this Academy, coupled with their present attainments in geography, grammar, arithmetic, spelling, reading, writing, painting, fancy work, and such other scholastic exercises as are generally comprehended in an English education, that Mistress LADD, the preceptress of the above institution, may, with impunity, compare the progress of her scholars with that of the pupils of any other English institution in this section of the State, and as the second session will commence on Monday, the 24th day of June, 1833, the Trustees feel no hesitation in recommending the institution to the public.
