SOUTHERN PLANTER— ADVERTISING SHEET 



MR. LEFEBVRE'S SCHOOL. 



Grace Street, Between 1st and Foushee, Richmond, Var 



The next session of our School begins on the first day of October, I860, and terminates on the last day 

 of June, 18GI. 



In consideration of the almost unprecedented success that has attended our efforts, we cannot refrain from 

 expressing our thankfulness to our many friends and patrons, and think we may be pardoned for briefly re- 

 lerring to some of the many advantages afforded, on which the permanen* prosperity of all such institutions 

 must ultimately depend. 



The buildings are large and commodious, planned for the wants and requirements of a large Female In- 

 stitution — and affording almost unequalled advantages for the comfort and convenience of our pupils. Only 

 two young ladies will occupy the same chamber, except when three may prefer to room together. 



The Principal has made female education the study and business of his life, and has Mow been engased 

 in successful teaching for upwards of twenty ye»rs; his assistants are well qualified and experienced, 

 selected with especial reference to the branches under their charge, and sufficiently tried in this Institution 

 to be referred to with entire confidence. 



Our system of education is thorough and complete, and while the best facilities are afforded for perfection 

 in the accomplishments of female education, Urn greatest care is devoted to insure the acquirements of 

 sound, practical learning ; the reason and judgment are exercised in preference to memory, and the,, latter, 

 while not wholely ignored, is made subsidiary to and dependent on the former. 



Our dailv system consists essentially in close, searching examinations, careful explanations, and familiar 

 lectures. The plan pursued fo*r many years in instruction in the French department has proved eminently 

 successful. It is the language of the family, and much time and attention is given -indeed every facility 

 afforded — to enable those pupils boarding with us to acquire an accurate knowledge of, and to speak with 

 ease and fluency, the French of common conversation. In this respect, we think our school possesses 

 advantages which can only be equalled by few Institutions of the kind in the country. 



Music, Vocal and Instrumental, Drawing and Painting, both from models and from nature, are under the 

 charge of Professors eminently qualified in their various branches. Most of these instructors are etn-r 

 ployed to teach exclusively in onr school, that by devoting their time and attention entirely to our pupils, 

 every advantage may be afforded for the acquisition of these accomplishments. 



Such rules and regulations are enforced as are calculated to promote the welfare and interest oT all the 

 pupils.
