NORTWEST CORD ER OF CHESTNUT and EIGHTEENTH STREETS. REV. CHARLES A. SMITH, D.D., PRINCIPAL. This Seminary has beon in successful operation for several years at 1530 Arch street. A new locality has been selected, not only because it is more central in its relations to the most densely populated portions of the city, but also because, the school-rooms are un usually large and airy, and admirably adapted to the 'purpose to which they are designed. To the present and former patrons of the school it is needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches pursued, so that the scholar may understand the principle involved in every investigation. The classes are arranged in three departments:— Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa rate and ample accommodations for primary Pupils, as well as for those belonging to the higher departments. All the departments are subject to the same discipline and general supervision. Circulars containing Course of Study, and other in formation, may be obtained at the Presbyterian 80u5e.1334 Chestnut street; also, at 1226 Chestnut street, or address Box 2611, Post Office, Philadelphia.
