of late to note the rapid growth OF
this institution under its present
management. The wise ami vigo-
rOus policy pursued by Prof. w. K.
Jones is fast giving it the influence
and prominence to which it is so
Justly entitled. The fall session
now closing was one of the most
prosperous in it's history. The
number of boarding pupils was
double that of any previous year
and the number of students in reg
ular attendance was also much lar.
ger than ever before. Many of
these are from abroad and their
number is steadily increasing, which
is sure as well as gratifying indi
cation that the superior education
al facilities, and other advantages
offered by the institution, are be
ing appreciated elsewhere. We
can say without exaggsration, and
with absolute truth and candor, that
there is not an educational institu-
ton in the south that offers greater
advantages for the moral and intel
lectual training of young Ia
dies than Martin College. Its
healthy location; its large and well
ventilated apartments; its excellent
table, equal to that of q first-class
hotel, and the assiduous attention
paid to the health and comfort OF
pupils are also important consider
atoms which should have due
weight with parents and guardians,
1t is a rule with Prof. Jones anc
his excellent lady to stint their pu
pills in nothing that will contribute
to their health or comfort, and fol-
that reason they supply them with
the best and most palatable food ano
see that the recitation rooms and
their private apartments are KEPT
warm and comfortable during the
winter months. Besides, they
treat them as members of their
family and throw over ell kind
and parental protection which makes
them feel perfectly at home. AS
to educational facilities, the college
as we said before, cannot be sur
passed in the south. The faculty
is composed of thoroughly compe-
tent and highly cultivated teachers
who take pride in their profession
and feel the full weight of the re
sponsibility resting upon them
The course of instruction, In every
department, is thorough, and any
thing like superficial culture Is
sternly avoided. Those who wit
messed the examination exercises
last summer were struck with this
fact. Another important thing that
parepts at home and abroad should
: consider is the reasonableness of
the charges. Martin College is no
fashionable seminary where costli
ness of raiment and expensive hab-
It's are encouraged at the expense
of genuine scholarship and prac-
teal knowledge. Neither does II
court a reputation for extravaganl
charges. The cost of tuition and
board is less perhaps than that o.
any institution Of equal merit ir
the country.
These things considered, VIZ
do not see why the fathers and
mothers of Giles county should
, send their daughters abroad u
, be educated when they can re
ceive better instruction ut home a
! less cost. Martin College is an in
! stltution in which they are all inter
, ested and it is their plain duty u
\ give it q moral as well as sub
4 stantial support. We also invit'
, the attention of parents in othe
counties and states to the superlo
. advantages afforded by This institu
4 ton for the education OF thel
daughters, and we feel perfectly SAT
In saying that if they will entrus
them TO the care Of Prof. Jones an
: his efficient assistants they wi
. never. have occasion to regret i
