The Westfield Seminary for Young People. This School is now entering upon the sixth year of its existence and has become a permanent institution. In conformity with the times, prices have again been reduced so that the terms are now as low as possible, consistent with securing competent assistance in the various departments of instruction. Pupils entering the Junior Department, can graduate in four years, two years being given respectively to the Junior and Senior Departments. Pupils can be received at any time into any Department, by passing a satisfactory examination in the studies of the Lower Departments. The classes in Light Gymnastics are free to all pupils of the Seminary, a place in the class being dependent only upon courteous deportment and careful attention to the instruction given.

It is the constant aim of the Principal and her assistants to inspire their pupils with a love of knowledge, and no efforts will be spared to secure their mental and moral culture, and to surround them with those influences which shall tend to the formation of an elevated Christian character. Although the Seminary is designed primarily for young ladies, young gentlemen are also received. In addition to an Introductory Division, the school is divided into four Departments with a course of study for each.

Board and tuition in English branches and one language, $350.00 per annum. Five-day scholars, $260.00 per annum. Pupils may enter at any period of the year and will be charged only from the time the engagement is made, but they will be expected to remain till the close of the school-year.

Westfield is delightfully situated on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, less than one hour's ride from New York, with which trains connect frequently during the day. The natural attractions of the village, its delightful scenery, and its elevated and healthful location, nearly two hundred feet above the waters of Newark Bay, combine to make Westfield one of the most desirable places for residence in the vicinity of New York.

Further information will cheerfully be given by the Principal in response to applications, either in person or by letter. Address Mrs. E. H. LADD, Principal, WESTFIELD, N. J.

Sight-reading and instrumental music, for four and eight hands, are taught, great attention being paid to regular and careful practice.

Soirées and receptions are given monthly, when the pupils receive their friends, entertaining them with recitations and musical selections.

Girls of seven or eight years of age are admitted into the school, and the greatest care is given to their physical and mental training, the family manners and home life of the school rendering such especial care possible.
