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.
