WARREN FEMALE INSTITUTE.
The Leading Young Ladies' Seminary Of
Fort Worth, Tex.

Warren Female institute, which de-
servedly holds proud prominence
among the opponents of higher educa-
ton in Texas, occupies charming
site on Jennings avenue, in the popu-
lous, prosperous and busting city of
Fort Worth. The institute is divided
into the primary, preparatory and col
legiate departments and the curricu-
lum embraces thorough instruction as
well in the documentary elements Of
an English education as in all the
branches of study, including natural
science, history, sacred and profane,
modern and ancient languages, higher
mathematics, mental and moral phil
osophy, music, painting and physical
culture.
The object Of the principal is to af-
ford girls and young ladies not only
the opportunity for obtaining broad
and liberal education, such as would
fit them for independent living, honor
and usefulness, but the development
Of vigorous, thoughtful and noble
womanhood. She expects to make this
school not only an advantage but a
help to the girls Of Texas. The aim Of
the institution is to awaken a spirit Of
earnest endeavor; TO teach them that
an idle. helpless woman is just as use
less as an idle, helpless man; to devel-
op q strong sentiment in favor Of hon
orable industry; to teach them to help
MISUNDERSTANDING that thus their
chances of happiness are increased and
they are made more valuable elements
OF society.
The best methods OF teaching will be
used the individual capacity and tai
ents of each student will be studied |;
physical, intellectual and moral train
ing will alike be kept in view; in fact
nothing be left undone to bring about
the highest and best results in every
pupil.
Strong and thoroughly equipped
teachers are employed in every depart
ment.
Mrs. Ed F. Warren is, by right Of
achievement, one Of the most distin-
guished educators in the state. In
1879, at competitive examination for
appointment TO the Sam Houston
Normal institute, she obtained the re-
markable average Of 100 throughout.
She graduated from the Sam Houston
Normal with honors in 1880, and a
short time afterwards was elected

Few institutions of similar scope in
the south and none in the state, have,
considering its age achieved the repu-
tation for successfully equipping stu
dents for the battle of life as the Texas
Business college. Located in Austin,
the seat of government, city of
churches, of schools, of colleges, Of
culture, the Athens of the southwest,
it holds out exceptional, extraneous
land intrinsic attractions.
The college occupies the entire third
floor of the Temporary capitol, con-
sisting of nineteen rooms-19, 1923
square feet. 1t fronts on Congress av-
enue, 160x190 on Eleventh street, and
commands magnificent view of the
new state capitol, governors mansion,
land Office, Deaf and Dumb asylum,
and many business houses and pala-
tial residences of the city.
No expense has been spared in max
ing the best provisions for light, heat,
ventilation and furniture. Sixty large
windows admit, with admirable equal
ity, daylight to all sections of the de-
partments, while every room is well
fitted with electric and gas lights for
the evenings.
Pure air is not wanting, as in addi-
ton to the doors, windows and tran
SONS, two large ten-foot halls run the
extreme length of the building, both
north and south, and the tempera-
ture of the rooms is subject of con-
slant watchfulness and attention.
Suitable furniture and fixtures OF
the best quality have been manufac-
tured for each room and made to order
for the special use of the difierenti de-
partments. In fact, in all its appoint
ments the general and specific object
sought has been to contribute in the
greatest degree possible to the health
comfort and progress of the pupils OF
the Texas Business College.
The growth of the Texas Business
College has been phenomenal twas
opened January 2, 1887, in two large
rooms fitted up for its occupancy, at
9O4 Congress avenue. So rapid was
Its expansion that in July OF that
same year it became necessary to in
crease its facilities, and eight rooms
in the temporary capitol were leased
to accommodate its increased attend
ance. One year later, to meet the
still greater demand on its school
room capacity, President Walden Sc
cured his present large space, which
aggregates a floor area of 1925
square feet.
The course of study inculcated in
this school is practically the same at
that pursued in the leading CONNER
cial colleges of America, one that has
become what is by process of growth
and development, and represents the
best methods in use by the leading
commercial teachers of the United
States.

CORONAL INSTITUTE.
A Boarding School for Boys and Girls, San
Marcos, Tex.


Coronal institute was chartered in
1879, and has since been conducted as
first-class High school. During the

by adding third story with mansard
roof. The institute is situated in the
outskirts of San Marcos, so widely
known for its delightful climate, ro-
mantle river and lovely scenery.
AS an educational center San Mar
cos offers exceptional advantages. Its
name is synonym for healthfulness.
The Blanco hills protect it against
northers, while from the south it re-
ceives unobstructed the tempering
breezes of the gulf.
Among the objects of interest in
this favored town, denoting progress
and public spirit, may be mentioned
the water works, an ice factory, an
electric light plant, the Chautauqua
and the Coronal institute.

assist in meeting the demand for

Roof Play-Yards,

The latest proposed novelty in large
cities is the building Of play-yards on
the roofs of the school houses in the
more thickly settled portions of the
large cities. In this way the children
could have abundance of air and sun
light, and be entirely safe. The walls
would be continued above the roof
sufficiently to make the protection
If recesses are TO be continued,
there must be some such provision in
the large cities. The yards are not
only too small, bnt good air is an inn
possibility. There are some difficult
ties to be overcome in going upon the
roof, but there are greater obstacles
upon cramped Fairgrounds.

College Discipline.

The numerous articles in the North
American Review for several months
past on college discipline show the
live interest felt in the subject. Col
lege government, as all government,
should be efficient, fair and equitable,
in the hands Of the faculty and should
be accepted by all students who we're
disposed TO be fair-minded.
The idea often advanced that the
college rule was too paternal, and that
at least a share, if not all, of the gov
eminent should be in the hands of the
students, save when it has reference
to the class room, is found by practice
TO be an error.

GALvEsToN's PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES.

The falling off the number of pa
tents during the past three years is
attributable to the exceptional health
fulness of the city, whose climatic con-
ditions render it an exceptionally
desirable resort for refugees from the
rigors of northern winters, and whose
breezes from the Gulf make its sum-
mers temperate and agreeable.
The cost of living in Galveston is as
low as in any city in the Union. Good
board, lodging, fuel, lights, can be had
for $40 per month.
