MARTIN COLLEGE,.
A Review ofthe Fast Term and rs
Prospects for the Next.


Martin College Is about TO clos
its first term under the Management
of Prof. j. L. Armstrong and ",
deem 1t not Inappropriate that TIA,
work be scrutinized. 1t will be re
mem bered that the board OF trus
tees gave some promises to the pub
lie that they have never been adj,
to do before, and the CITIZEN CAV,
publicity TO and endorsed them
The first and most important wa.
that Prof. JOS. L. Armstrong wa:
the most accomplished scholar wht
has had connection with the College
and that he was morally and ia al.
other respects eminently worthy Of
fullest confidence. This has beer
found to be absolutely true. He
graduated in the United States
from. Randolph Macon College.
John Hopkins University, and Co
lumbia College, and from Leipzig
University, Germany--spending IF
teen ears in college. He speaks
German, French anti English with
equal facility and is thorough in
all departments, besides being n
cultured musician. He has brought
all his powers to bear in shaping
up tue college in his beginning
term, has selected a faculty in all
respects competent, and now has
matters well il hand for the second
term. Being total stranger, hav-
ing everything to master from the
Start, he has had very little time as
yet to visit among the people of the
country. He intends making it a
point to know the people. When he
comes, he will at once impress you
as a christian gentlemen well wor-
thy to be entrusted with the care of
your daughters.
The primary department is under
charge OF Miss Sallie Shapard,
whose name is a sufficient euaran-
tee to the people of Pulaski of care
full, patient, painstaking training
of their children, Miss Alternately
in charge of the preparatory and
art departments, Miss Butler in
charge Of the hall and Miss Arm
strong in charge of the department
of language and literature, have
each demonstrated their special fit
ness for their departments. The
boarding department, with a COM
pletely new outfit under charge Of
Mrs. Smith, is one of the most at
tractive and satisfactory features of
the school. The buildings and
grounds are in thorough repair and
present one of the most attractive
places of residence to be found any
where. The music department un-
der charge of Mrs Wright is giving
unusual satisfaction. Nearly fou
hundred volumes Of new books
were added to the library within
tho last mouth. While the charges
for board and tuition have been
lower than could be had elsewhere
with the same advantages, a still
further reduction Sis made in the
rates of tuition for for next session
and challenge comparison with any
institution of like grade in the coun-
ty. Il should be borne in mind
that Martin College is a permanent
cy. Its endowment places it in an
independent position and enables it
to offer inducements that cannot
be found elsewhere. Taking these
matters all together, the immedI-
ate future of the college is full of
promise. The circumstances APP
peal to every citizen of Giles to be-
come patron of this school, There
is not college in all the south un-
der more competent management.
1t is our home school and affords
as fine facilities for the education
of our daughters as any school
within the borders of the Union,
and there are no fancy prices to eat
away a patrons pocketbook. Send
your daughter TO Martin College.
1t is worthie<than ever. Let the
fathers of Giles come to its support,
and its future is assured. The
Spring Term opens Wednesday,
Jan. %. Enter your daughters
promptly.
