  The 
  text 
  books 
  used 
  in 
  this 
  institution 
  are 
  such 
  as 
  are 
  

   used 
  by 
  our 
  most 
  prominent 
  higli 
  schools 
  and 
  colleges. 
  

   The 
  discipline 
  of 
  the 
  school 
  is 
  firm, 
  yet 
  high-toned 
  and 
  gen- 
  

   erous. 
  Pupils 
  are 
  taught 
  to 
  emulate 
  all 
  that 
  is 
  lovely 
  and 
  

   beautiful 
  in 
  female 
  character, 
  and 
  to 
  act 
  always 
  from 
  a 
  high 
  

   sense 
  of 
  honor 
  and 
  duty. 
  The 
  duties 
  of 
  each 
  day 
  begin 
  with 
  

   divine 
  worship, 
  — 
  reading 
  the 
  Scriptures, 
  singing 
  and 
  prayer. 
  

   Without 
  the 
  taint 
  of 
  sectarian 
  bias, 
  religious 
  instruction 
  

   constitutes 
  the 
  basis 
  ot 
  all 
  sound, 
  faithful 
  teaching. 
  It 
  is 
  

   religion, 
  without 
  regard 
  to 
  sect 
  or 
  creed, 
  which 
  imparts 
  lo 
  

   learning 
  its 
  intrinsic 
  value 
  and 
  character, 
  its 
  crowning 
  

   glory 
  for 
  time 
  and 
  for 
  eternity. 
  

  

  Having 
  all 
  the 
  modern 
  im{)rovements 
  and 
  appliances 
  for 
  

   systematic 
  and 
  efficient
