Van Yleck, a lady of extraordinary ability and of the highest culture, in the building known as the "California House," on Croton Avenue. The school was removed to its present location on the east side of the same avenue about a fortnight before the California House was destroyed by fire. In 1878 Miss Van Yleck sold her interest in the institute to Messrs. Rice and Jewett, who are still its proprietors. These gentlemen, who were already experienced educators, are aided by an efficient corps of nine teachers. The institute in-cludes a primary, English and classical department; ancient and modern languages, the natural sciences, music, drawing and painting, are all taught in regu-lar courses. The building is large and well adapted for its purposes, occupies a sightly and salubrious position, and is surrounded by ample grounds. The number of scholars during the past year was seventy-four.
