The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1885-07-30
Martin Female College,


We desire to give you n shor
statement of facts relating to Mar
tin College, because it is matter il
which every member of the commu
nifty is interested, whether he has
children to educate or not.
IT IS Your SCHooL.-It was
founded by Mr.. Thomas Martin not
for any selfish reasons, but for the
good of this community. You have
contributed literally to it with the
same view and forthe same purpose.
No member OF this Board re-
ceives, or has ever received, one dol
lar from the school, and not one has
any greater interest than you have
IN its success. Your interests and
ours are the same-that is to build
up such a school as will bless this
community. There is no school to-
day that offers as many advantages
for permanent and successful oper-
alton as Martin Female College.
There is no location more healthy
no buildings and grounds so com
modious, pleasant, and admirably
adapted for their purpose, and no
natural circumstance superior to
those offered by it.
No other enterprise can bring
into the community such material
social and religious results. With
its boarding and day departments
full it is estimated that it brings
into the community from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars per an
mum, to be expended to Il great ex-
tent for the necessaries of life. All |
this in addition to the education of
your children at home, and the re-
fining and ennObling influences of
such IN institution in your midst,
is sufficient to challenge your inter
est. We feel confident that in the
present Principals, Misses IDA L.
HooD and SUSAN L. HERON, we have
been very fortunate, and that the
Faculty is an exceptionally strong
one. The teachers have been cho.
sen not from favoritism or partial
ty, but because of ability, expert
snce and established reputation for
successful teaching heretofore, and
We feel that we can recommend
hem also with confidence.
The departments have been dis
ributed as follows:
Sciences and Eectures--MIss IDA
:. Hoop.
ElOcution and Literature-MIss
SUSAN L. HERON.
Latin, Greek and Mathematics
Mss LAURA c. BLAYLocK.
Primary and Preparatory De
,artments--MIss JENNIE wendell.
Vocal and Instrumental Music
Mss Ida AvERETT.
Art-MIss lille TRABUE.
If the community will furnish the
pupils, we feel safe in guaranteeing
very thing else. But you cannot
expect to retain talented and expe-
fenced teachers unless you show an
Of them and their work.
Neither can you expect a foreign
patronage, unless you give the
chool a support at home. We do
lot complain of the interest hereto
ore shown, but only desire to i'm
'ress upon you that it is by your eff
orts, to a great extent, that the
chool must be sustained and adj
ranced.
Already the grounds and build
ngs represent a large outlay of
money and present unusual accom-
With this as a basis and the aid
If the endowment fund, the perma-
lency of the College may be looked !
Upon as an assured fact. Only a
small debt remains to be paid be-
ore the endowment fund can be
made available in lowering rates of
or supplying additional ad-
7antages to those we have already,
Is may seem hest and most expedi-
mt, The College having already
cached a sure and permanent foot
ng, with prospects more fattering
han ever before in its history, and
With advantages of u superior order,
We feel that we can congratulate
.Ou uPOu IJS pItScuJ SIdGuS anu as
.ure you of its increased success
md usefulness hereafter.
Catalogues or any information de-
ired, will be cheerfully furnished
IN application by letter or in per-
on to Miss IDA (. HOOP, Pulaski,
Tennessee.
