| MUSIC. \
In Music it is the aim at the Seminary to give a thorough I
knowledge of the theory as well as the practice of Music, so
that the pupils at the close of the course may be perfectly Sj
able to pursue both the science and the practice, and not as \
is often the case when from the pointing of the teacher, for- \
get all that may have been attained, and be utterly unable \
to learn a new piece without assistance.
s
CHEMICAL & PHILOSOPHICAL APPARATUS.
More than $350 worth were added to our Apparatus s
during the present session, including a fine Telescope and
s Magic Lantern, and it is expected (hat at least $200 worth
S more will be added the next session. (

CALISTHENICS. j
These beautiful exercises will be taught to all the mem- ^
bers of the school. They are admirably calculated to bene- \
fit young ladies, by imparting ease and gracefulness of mo- c
tion, and are as pleasing as profitable. s

! THESEMINAEY 1
S
\ Is located in the immediate vicinity of the city. The build- \
< ing is 00 feet by 35 feet and two stories high. The upper
story is all in one room and the lower divided into a suite of «,
^ six. There are two acres of ground attached; entirely \
shaded with large native oaks, with shrubbery, flowers and
I1 blue grass interspersed over it.
s The popularity of the Seminary may be learned from the ^
\ fact that it began a little more than four years ago with \
\ three pupils in a private room of one of the Principals, and
1 it has continued to increase up to its present number. \
^ This popularity has not been induced by any aid afforded
^ by the personal popularity and exertions of Trustees, nor by
< the influence of a charter. The Seminary has neither. It
( has had to depend wholly on its own merit. By this alone
s it desires to be judged. And of that merit its increase may
be presented as evidence.
As a place af health there is certainly no city of the
1 whole South-west that is superior to Knoxville. No epi¬
demic has ever visited the place ; the purity of the water
and the salubrity of the mountain air are guaranties of the
<>
\ continuance of its healthiness. Parents, therefore, need
fear nothing on that subject.
GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL
• S
\
We utterly repudiate the system of espionage adopted in }
most Institutions of learning, as irrational, absurd and crimi- <,
nal. It may promote an eye service, but can never promote
honorable, gentlemanly or lady-like conduct. S
The Government is designed to be parental; which the
instructors believe to be a union of kindness, love, firmness
and dignity. ^
The Bible will be the foundation of all discipline. It Ij
will be read in the School every day by a teacher, and all ^
the pupils who are able to read, and followed usually, by s
singing, and always by prayer. This is the first exercise of j,
the morning, and singing and prayer the last in the evening, s
The observance of the laws of the School-room is placed J-
simply upon the sense of honor and truth of the Pupils; and
the Instructors are able to say this has generally had the <;
most happy effect. There is no corps of monitors and ^
watchers, nor do the Teachers watch the Pupils. Their sense (
of honor as ladies has been found sufficient.
The Pupils will be required to attend Church twice on s
the Sabbath, and those who board with the Principals, wi!l
be expected to attend with them, unless their parents ex¬
press a desire that they should attend elsewhere.
