Cmcago, Feb. 10.—To parents who regard the education of their girls as 2 matter of per- manent importance, I commend the Young 1adies’ Academy of Deportment, at DesMoines, s Mare than one Chicago girl bas been- train- dintbewyche chonld goat that establish- ment, and the thriving business done by the ‘Principal testifies that we have among us jothis democratic population an element that strives ambitiously for perfection of social edu- cstion. The sristoeracy with - which the land is yow blessed i beginoiug 10 feel the necessity of s carefully upholstered society, and it has con- luded, end perhaps properly, that learning is pot sn escential thing compared with repose and wsined muscles, The aucient idea, that the female vouith of Hhe nstion should be well up in wples of the day, §s exploded, and the newer schemeof preparing the raw material for sud- den effuigence in the social rank, has given birth 1tothe institution I shall describe, one which possibly will soon find imitators ‘all over the country. The Young Ladies’ Academy of Deportment is founded on a superstition that the female mind should be utterly unburdened by any approach 1o solidity of acquirement. . A aamsel entering f2¢ doors is examined mentally, as the applicant 10 the ballet troupe is examined physically. She is carefolly cousidered solely as to her «cpazity for becoming & nonentity, for none others are presumed to sccomplish “repose.” 1 by any untoward combination of educational sdrintages she manifests a familiarity with Tooks, ehe I assigned to the lower grade, where ‘her traininig commences with lively lectures on 1he sbsolute necessity of formetting every atom «of rseful knowledge with which the mind may bave been unfortunately imbued. She is taught 1 shiding faith in the virtue of knowing literal- Iy nothing, 2 state of mental ‘‘repose’ io- cispensable 1o imparting 1o her visace that im- passiveexpression and to her eyes that stony stare beld by authorities the best evidence of i The *“system ™ seems to under- suand that ce s incompatible with a <ldand ‘perfectly immobile countenance, and while it is difficalt, 70 compel a spirited girl to, foreet what it afforded her pleasure to learn, it must be accomplished, or she cannot evefit by the system. Iremember my own experience with rather a Tively sense of its ridicuious aspects, and though 1 would scarcely like to bold myself up 25 an ex- “ample upon which parents might model their dsugbters, I.5till point to my reputation in so- cietv and accord my tutelsge in the Academy of Deportment with™ all that £ have since be- come. Atthe age of 17 years I was extructed, Iikeatooth, from 2 very superior article of banding-school, and seut'to Des Moines to be g\:hs oft. When called up for examination by tle profound exponent of the “system,” I 2esumed, of course, that a good account of my ftewardship was expected of me, and I 1ellto work on mathematics, natural history, 2odlogic after a style supp by me to be bighly creditable to the institution I nad just loned. Nothing in the worthy Principal’s sceled me to hope for the best or fear the Forst. That face was 2 stamped and sealed cer- tificste of the efficiency of the systen.” It beard me through patiently. and dssigned me to Towest e, and I learned shortly after- Fards that the highest girl in the Academy hadnever been 1o school. My first leszon re- minded me of Loo Bounderby, nee Gradgrind, for 1 was admonishied that I must neyer think orwonder, - The habit of thought, the system uced sn expression.of intent- Zetsand that of wondering, a cast of abstrac- tion equally fatal to the well-organized society countenance.
