SOUTHERN FEMALE INSTITUTE. 



RICHMOND, VA. 



THjP Principals of the Southern Female Institute, with this announcement of its 7th session, 

 tender their thanks to the Public for the liberal and increasing patronage they have received at its hands. 

 As this Institution had its origin in individual enterprise and has been fostered neither by aid from the 

 State, nor by denominational influence, it is with pride that they point to the appended list of patrons, believ- 

 ing as they do that it evince? the estimation in which their labours in the cause of female education are held 

 by men of eminence and high character. 



The Principals are Virginians, and were educated in Va. They selected teaching for a Profession and have 

 dev*,.;d themselves earnestly to it for a nu nber of years in their native state. Relying upon the support 

 of the Southern people they established, six years ago, this Institution, Southern in every feature and in all 

 its teachings. No expense" has been spared to make it worthy of patronage, and they hope to be supported 

 in the effort to make the South independent of Northern schools and teachers. 



The Boarding Department will hereafter be under the immediate and sole control of D. Lee Powell who 

 has taken a large new house on the South-East corner of 1st and Franklin Streets, for the purpose of accom- 

 modating a number of young ladies as Boarders. 



The Principals are determined that the opportunities offered for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the 

 French and other modern Languages in their school, shall be equal to those of any institution in the country. 

 One or more Parisian ladies will reside in the family of Mr. Powell, who will he required to converse habitu- 

 ally in French with the Boarders. 



The most experienced and accomplished teachers of music, vocal and instrumental, in the city will he em- 

 ployed, and every effort will he made to secure improvement in this valuable accomplishment. It will 

 be ti.e duty of one of the teachers to see that the music scholars practice regularly and properly.
