Lafayette Female Academy
AT LA-GRANGE, ALABAMA.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace respectfully inform the public that the next session of this institution will commence on the first Monday in January next. The Course of study designed in the Academy embraces those Sciences which form a useful and accomplished Female Education, and is, therefore, very comprehensive, and intended to impart to Young Ladies a thorough acquaintance with modern Languages and Mathematics, (as far as taught in the most distinguished Female Seminaries in the United States,) and the usual and higher branches of a complete English Education. It is deemed unnecessary to mention those branches;--suffice it to say, they will be as general in this as in any other similar institution, and that the most approved Text Books will be adopted. The object of the Teachers will be, to make the Academy worthy of public patronage, by the closest application of their time to the mental culture of their pupils, and the most sedulous attention to their morals and deportment.
          The Lafayette Academy is beautifully situated on an elevated mountain, commanding an extensive view of the valley below, and the surrounding country, and is proverbial for health. Parents and guardians who send their sons and ward to the LaGrange College, can conveniently send their daughters to the Lafayette Female Academy.
          Board can be obtained in genteel private families in the village.
