The ends chiefly aimed at in this school are, the acquisition of the necessary knowledge of the Principles and Methods of Education, and of the various branches of study, the attainment of skill in the art of teaching, and the general development of the mental powers. From the beginning to the end of the course, all studies are conducted with especial reference to the best ways of teaching them. Recitations, however excelare not deemed satisfactory, unless every pupil is able to teach others that which she has herself learned. In every study the pupils in turn occupy tempo-

Institution has a valuable Library, containing, in works for general refer-

An
important addition to the means of practical instruction in Chemistry has been made, whereby a large number of pupils can, at the same time, engage in chemical investigations, free from all danger of inhaling injurious gases. The friends of the higher education of women can confer a great benefit upon the Institution by making donations to its Library and Museum. Any aid in this direction will be gratefully acknowledged.

paid by the pupils for board, 'i,(not usually including washlights,) varies from $3 to $4 per week, according to the
and

who come
to the School daily
by railroads, obtain season tickets
at one-
half of the usual rates.
For the assistance of those who find even the moderate expenses "of the School burdensome, the Commonwealth makes an annual appropriation. This aid is distributed at the close of each term, among pupils from Massachusetts who merit and need the aid, in sums varying according to the distance of their residences from Salem, but not exceeding in any case $1 50 per week. In this distribution, the first term of a pupil's connection with the School is not reckoned, unless she'enters prepared to complete the prescribed course of study in less than two years. Aid is also rendered, in cases of special merit and need, from the income of the fund of Five Thousand Dollars, for which the School is indebted to the munificent bequest of
