The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-07-26
Science Hin Institute.

The exercises OF this school will be-
gln promptly the 1st Of Sept, next.
There will be full corps Of compe-
tent and experienced teachers in all
the departments, Special care will he
taken to advance the pupils in a regu-
lar and progressive course of study
from the preparatory department to
the senior collegiate, and no labor or
zeal will be spared to make the course
thorough and practical.
In all the studies, sufficient reasons
will be given for every principle laid
down III the text books. and the pupils
will be required rs far as practicable
to answer qustions in their own lam
guage, which is more improving to the
mind than the old laborious method
of memorizing the answers in the
books without understanding them.
Frequent lectures will be given by
the teachers, bringing out alIthe main
principles which lie at the foundation
OF thorough and substantial educa-
ton.
This is not denominational school.
All persons can patronize this institu-
tion with the assurance that their chill
dren will not be influenced in the di-
rectioh of amy particular church doc
trine, But those great principles of
morality endorsed by all christian peo-
lple, will be enforced, so that the heart
may be refined and educated as well
as the head. 30sS
The course of instruction will en-
brace regular college curriculum-a
complete course of mathematics, in
cluding the diilerential and integral
calculus-a thorough study Of physi-
cal science, and substantial course
of latin and greek, together with a
theoretical and practical training in
vocal and instrumental music
The session will continue nine
months, and at the close, there will be
a public examination, together with
commencement exercises, contests for
medals, exercises in vocal and instru-
mental music, where the advancement
of the pupils in the various branches
can be seen by their parents and the
friends of the instution generally.
The discipline will he strict and firm.
No pupil will be permitted to misbe-
have without being punished. No
school can live without discipline-no
person can be properly educated with
out it.
The school wifi be regularly graded,
and every recitation viii be noted
in u book kept for that purpose, and
the grades of the pupils will be read
before the school at the end Of every
month.
The school building and grounds
can be made beautiful with little
earnest effort upon the part OF the peo-
Iple. We ask the enterprising citizens
of this growing little city and the good
people Of the vicinity to unite in the
effort now being made to repair
Science Hill Institute and
enclose and beautify the grounds.
Some money has already been sub
scribied and the work has commenced; +;
an order has been given to the factory
to make rs new desks (the latest and
most improved pattern)-the carpen-
tiers are now ut work on theinstitute--
the blriiding will be thoroughly repair
ed and painted inside and outside and
a new bell will be ordered if the people
will all h@p.
This being done, we promise to use
every effort in our power to build up
and sustain a school Of high grade at
Science Hill Institute. Respectfully,
w. A. Evans, Prin.
