The Reason a1hy this Institution has be-
come so Popular.

L. 1t is sustained solely by the skill
and energy of the teachers, and not by
endOwlnents donated for sectarian pur-
poses, or by State appropriations for po-
litical influence.
2. The teachers are selected for their
peculiar fitness for the places they hold,
and no teacher is retained who does not
give entire satisfaction to the classes I'M
der his charge.
3. Every student feels that all the
teachere are working for his interest and
advancement; hence nearly all students
influence their friends to come and enjoy
the same advantages.
4. Most students are convinced, after
trying this school and comparing it with
others, that they can accomplish at least
twice as much for themselves here in the
same length of time as at any other in
stitution.
5. Freedom from sectarian bias and
restraint promotes a healthy religious ac-
tivity, making the voluntary attendance
on regular religious exercises almost
universal. Another result of this free
by the students with great interest, and
with increasingly hopeful results.
6. Both sexes enjoy equal rights and
privileges. The entire freedom from re-
straint in social intercourse so generally
deprecated or denounced in other insti-
~tutions, is found by the experience ofsiX-
4een years to promote the physical health
and moral purity of both sexes; while.
at the same time, we rely especially on
this feature to sustain good order, good
feeling, and earnest work in every de-
partment.
1.-THE large attendance {the average
term attendance being over 500, enables
us to maintain a wide range ofrecitations
and drills. so that all who enter here al
any time can find classesto suit them in
nearly all subjects
: s. The methods of instruction anC
) drill are so much more thorough-going
: practical and objective than in mos
: other institutions, thatour pupils, for the
a most part, make animmediate success il
, whatever business they undertake aftei
i leaving here.
0 8. The large majority OF teacher
:. trained here find immediate employment
with good positions; and, what is better
r hold them with increased salaries, o.
= have calls to still better places.
e 10. The spirit of this school is that O
r hard work and rigid economy. The spiri
ofcaste, extravaganza and show, finds n
place amongst us
IL. Every arrangement is made b,
" the principal to diminish the expenses o
d students in board, in books, in stationery
and other items, from which many othe
institutions derive their greatest profits
= II. The management and government
having the moral support and heart
D sympathy of the large majority of tn
! students, is carried on without any en-
, acted laws. 1t is found to be immeasur
L ably better to win any individual case
of irregularity than to trammel the larg
majority of good, earnest students wit
D rules and regulations required only b
4 the few.
