STONEGRAVELS . NEAR CHESTERFIELD ; SCHOOL for YOUNG LADIES , conducted hv the Reverend ALFRED TURNER BLYTHE and Mrs BLYTHE . Terms ( exclusive of Masters ) , Fifty Guineas per Annum . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe ( with the help of Mrs . Blythe ' a sister , Miss Williams ) devote their whole time and attention to the duties of their School . They do not wish to have under their care , at one time , more than ten pupils . They can provide for the thorough comfort of this number ; and can treat them , in every respect , as members of their own famil y . Their great object is to aid their pupils in becoming truly refined , intelligent , and conscientious women . It is not , they think , of so much importance to crowd into the mind , during the comparatively short period of the school life , a large mass of information on a great variety of subjects , as to furnish the mind with those principles of thought and means of judgment which will enable their possessor , in after years , to acquire sound knowledge fot herself , and to dispense it to others . They think it most important of all to show the moral bearing and uses of knowledge , and to impress upon the mind the fact that its chief value consists in its application to practical and benevolent purposes . The physical health of a girl between the ages of ten and seventeen ( which may be called the school time of life ) requires the most anxious care . To overtask the brain during this period is almost to ensure future weakness , both of body and mind . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe pay , therefore , unremitting attention to the health of their pupils , and , besides securing to them daily active exercise , they never permit the work of the School to be carried on for more than between two and three hours consecutively ; adapting the amount of work to be done by each pupil during the day , to her age , her state of health , and her mental capacity . By pursuing this system , they have , in more than one case , seen a child of delicate constitution strengthen under their hands . With respect to religious instruction , Mr . and Mrs . Blythe would only say , that while they use their utmost endeavours to foster in their pupils the religious feelings and affections , they think that they would not be justified in enforcing specific opinions , notwithstanding the strength oi their own convictions on this subject . At the same time , they are willing and anxious to give explanations whenever they are asked , and to aid in removing difficulties whenever they are felt . They believe , however , that a decision on theological matters ought to be left to an age when the powers of thought and judgment are fully matured . The ordinary course of study in the School embraces the subjects of History , ancient and modern ; the History of Literature ; Geography , mathematical , physical , political , and descriptive ; Writing , Grammar , and English Composition ; Arithmetic , and the elementary branches of Geometry ; and , with a special view to encourage the powers of observation , the elements of Natural History and Natural Philosophy . The Reverends Joseph Hutton . LL . D ., London ; William Turner , Jun ., Halifax ; James Martineau , Liverpool ; Samuel Bache , Birmingham and Charles Wicksteed , Leeds ; Frederick Swan wick , Esq ., Whittington , near Che 3 : erneld ; and Mrs . Turner , Lenton Field , near Nottingham , have kindly permitted reference to them .
