PROSPECTUSOFSt. Francis' Academy for Colored Girls,Under the Direction of the State of Providence.

The Sisters of providence are a religious community, approved of by the Church, and established in Baltimore, in 1829. They renounce the world to consecrate themselves to God, and to the Christian education of girls of color. The object contemplated by their institution is truly important; for to instruction of a numerous portion of society in useful branches, suitable to their wants and convenience, it proposes to add the still more exalted acquisition of habits of solid virtue, and the exact observance of piety and correct principles of morality. Such education will necessarily be productive of the happiest effects among individuals and in society. Thus, whether destined to the care of families, or to be otherwise employed in the service of their fellow creatures, the pupils of this Institution will be found fully competent for the discharge of their respective duties.

In addition to their religious instructions, the pupils are taught the English and French languages, Arithmetic, Geography ,History, English Grammar, Orthography, Writing, Sewing in all its branches, Embroidery in Cotton, Silk, Chenille or Gold, Tapestry. Tufted Work, Bead Work, Lace Embroidery, Wax Flowers and Fruits, Music and Painting also, if desired.

No deductions will be made for absence or withdrawal, unless occasioned by sickness. The Institute will not incur the expense of furnishing articles of clothing, shoes, &c, must leave money for that purpose.

Every pupil must be provided with six regular changes of linen, six pairs of stockings, six napkins, a sufficient number of dresses, four night gowns, and if parents prefer to find bedding,00045they may bring three pairs of sheets, four pillow cases, two blankets, a quilt; also two spoons, goblet, knife and fork, over shoes, work box, toilet boxes, combs and brushes. To prevent a love of dress, a uniform dress for Sundays and Holidays will henceforth be adopted. In winter, purple merino dress, and large cape of same material, black straw hats, trimmed with purple ribbon. For Summer, blue de-laine skirts, white waist; black sacque, white straw hats, trimmed with blue ribbon. They should also have three black alpaca aprons, for school. Each pupil should have a white dress.

The pupils will not be allowed to spend Christmas or Easter Holidays at home.

Payment must be made invariably in advance, or within one month after the bill is sent, or else the pupil will be sent home.

Pupils whose parents reside in the city, are permitted to dine with them on the first Sunday of each month, and to remain until five o'clock in the winter and seven in Summer. This permission, however, may be forfeited by misconduct. Special permission is required to sleep out of the Institution, and this is granted only for urgent reasons. The vacation is held during months the months of July and August. The boarders are allowed to remain in the Institution during the vacation, and a deduction will be made if they spend it with their parents.

Attached to the academy is a Pay School for small boys, also a Free School for girls, and an Orphan Asylum.
