 LORETTO CONVENT. 



OOTACAMtJKD, NEILGHEEEIES. 



PROSPECTUS. 



1. The Convent School, established at Ootaeanmnd under the care 

 of the Loretto Sisters, affords to parents residing in India, an opportu- 

 nity of obtaining for their children a hberal and distinguished educa- 

 tion, such as they would get in the mother-country. 



2. Gotacamund has been selected, on account of its very healthy 

 and salubrious climate, which has earned for the place a world-wide 

 and well deserved renown, as the best sanatarimn in India. The invi- 

 gorating effects of the cHmate render Ootacamund a place especially 

 favorable for children, whose constitution is generally more or less im- 

 paired by residence in almost every other place in India. 



The excellent situation of the Convent, near the Catholic Chapel, is 

 well known : it has a beautiful garden and very spacious ground attach- 

 ed to it ; commands the view of the lake ; and is in fact, one of the 

 best sites in Ootacamund. 



The utmost attention is paid by the religious Sisters to the profi- 

 ciency, health and comfort of the Pupils. 



3. The moral conduct of the Young Ladies is watched over with 

 the strictest attention, and while every effort is made to expand and 

 adorn the mind, the heart is trained to virtue. 



The character of the Pupils is carefuUy studied : they are taught by 

 reasoning to correct their errors, and are gradually formed to habits of 

 regidarity and order. 



The Loretto Sisters promise not to interfere in any ivay tvith the 

 different religions of their Fwpils. 



4. The course of Education comprises, Reading, Writing, Arithme- 

 tic, Grammar, Geography, History, the use of the Globes, French^ etc, 

 etc.. . . with every branch of useful and ornamental Needle Work.
