THE REASONS WHY THIS INSTITUTION
HAS BECOME 30 POPULAR.


: I. It's sustained solely by the skill md
energy Of the tencherr, and not by endow>
ments donated for sectarian purposes, or BY
state appropriations for political influence.
z. The teachers are eelected for their pc
culiar htness for the laces they hold, KLd no
teicher is retained who does not give entire
satisfaction to the classes under his charge.
Every student feels that all the Teachers are
working ior his interest and adyHnI ment:
hence nearly all students influence their
friends to come and enjoythe same advants.

this and comparing II with oiheis, that they
can accomplish at least twice Ms much for
themselves, here In the same length Of time
as at any other institution. .- -

strnint promotes healthy religious activity.
making the voluntary religious exercises ale

dom IS daily prayer meeting sustained By
the students with great interest and with ".
creaslngly hopeful results.
G. Both sexes enjoy equal rights aud prlys
leges. The entire freedom from restraint
IN social intercourse so generally deprecated
or denounced IN other Institutions, is found
by the experience Of sixteen years TO promote
the physlcal health 0pd moral purity OF both
sexea;i while At tho rame time, We rely espef

good feeling, and earnest work .ineyery de-
aI.ment. -,
Z. Tue large attend0nce (the average term
attendance being over 6tO) enables ur TO
| maintain wide range Of recltAtIons and drills,
so that all who enter here atRny time can find
classes TO SUIT them in nearly all subjects.
=. The methods CONSTRUCTION and drill are
so much more thorough. gong, practical and

dlate success III whatever business they Un-
dertake after leaving here. .

increased salaries, or have calls to still better

work and rigid economy. The splril Of caste,
1 extravagance and show find no place amongst
us.
H. Every arrangement is being made by
| the Principal to diminish the expenses OF stu.
dents IN board, IN hooks, IN stationery, and
other items, from which many other instiLu-
| tlons derive their greatest profits. p
H. The management and government

pathy Of the large majority OF the students, is
