The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1880-08-25
The Dawnin. of Il New Era.

One week from next Monday marks
an epoch in the history of Hartford and
Ohio county, which will tell for good
upon the destinies of our children, and
children's children, as no other event
ever will or can.
We refer 10 our new school; which
will open upon that day, with dawn
ing such as has seldom greeted the
birth of any similar institution, in any
part of the State. Prompted by the
deep interest we feel in AN enterprise
that promises So much, we want To refer
10 some of its prospects and advantages.
In the first place we have the finest
school-building in this part of the State
situated IN the center of n district
possessing no other first class school
located in town remarkably healthy,
and famous for the hospitality of its
people-with corps Of teachers I'M
each of whom is peculiarly adapted to
his or her special department.
Under such favorable auspices, Hart
ford College will start of with a success
already assured and a future rs bright
rs lis most ardent friends could desire.
And now to those who contemplate
sending their SONS and daughters Ia our
school, We want Ia say: That we are
preparing Ia welcome your children in
such way ~ shall win their love and
confidence from the Very start.
Aside from the superior facilities this
or any other school may offer, there
is AN education not wholly secured
within the walls of a college. II is that
refinement and culture, which is only
secured by associating with refined and
intellectual people. Little may he
said upon this point, as few towns in
Kentucky will compare with Hartford
in this respect. The hrilliancy of its
women and the courtesy of its men
have ever been a subject of remarks by
visitors soiourning with us.
\ town may, however, possess II
school with all the above advantages,
and still the school may not he "A prof
liable one Ia those seeking speedy and
thorough education. There must he Il
master mind to govern-a man 81 pc
culiarly adapted tn fill the position of
Principal, that ninety-nine out of every
hundred educators are miserable fail
ures. And herein lies the fortune of
our school, and the fortune we offer to
every student struggling for Il speedy
and thorough education. w haze the
one huRoirCtiN man -the most remark
able educator in this part of Kentucky;
one who for seven years conducted IA
school of from one Ia two hundred pu-
pills with not single jar. y man who
rules 10y love alone, and about whom
there is magnetism that attracts pu-
pills of every age and every character of
disposition. His name is Il household
word where ever known, and any encO-
MUM of ours is unnecessary; but know
ing him, rs we have, for years, we feel
that it is due those who, living ut n dis
lance mayknow what kind of Il man shall
shape the minds and characters of their
children.
The school is not UNCONVENTIONAL and
is entirely free from sectional bias, but
we have one of the most pleasant and
entertaining Sabbath Schools in the
State-its doors open TO welcome the
coming students and its members are
already banking largely upon them to
make it still more interesting.
Such is the school and such the add
vantages il offers you. We ask you to
send us your children, that they may
secure an education that will reflect
credit upon them--us--and our school,
and we mean To help them 10y the
kindest encouragement that we know
how To give, 50 that when we send
them back 10 you, you will have il to
say that "The people of Hartford kept
their pledge"
The above are the sentiments of the
people rs we catch them on the streets,
i'm the parlors and business houses of
our towns and we have felt il our duty
thus Ia express them
