A FEW FACTS.
ABOUT HARDWOOD SEMINARY.

l
but she is ashamed. She says she
would have to 60 in classes with
pupils younger than herself. | fear
she will never make up her mind to
60"
| | am constantly hearing such re-
marks. At bottom what does it
mean ?. 1t means, IL don't know
much, and rather than go to school
and let people find it out, | will de-
prive myself of further education"
1t is'a sad case. Rather than sacri-
fee little pride for few days this
young lady will 60 through life un-
educated, always at disadvantage.
How much nobler, drawer, it would
be for her to say: "When | was
young, did not have an opportuni-
ty to finish my studies, but now that
l have an opportunity, am going
to embrace it, and | shall have an
education if it takes me till I'm
twenty 6ve.'
Some think that it is disgrace to
be il school at eighteen. How fool
ish . At that age the mind IS Just
beginning to be mature enough to
appreciate the higher studies. |
promise any young lady who wishes
to continue her studies the warmest
welcome at Harwood Seminary.
Even if she should not wish to COM
plete the A. B. course, we could ar
range for her course in French,
History, Literature and Science; or
if she wanted to prepare herself to
teach, she might take few advance
ed studies and review her High
school studies in class. One of our
last year graduates did this way and
while pursuing her senior studies
reviewed the first and second year
work. An education is the choicest
gift tlat parents can give their
daughter and the young lady who
refuses it will never cease to regret
it.
| 1t would be a capital idea for the
graduates and others TO continue
their French under Miss Vinton on
the conversational plan, Literature
and History and music or art, and
to take part in the literary work Of
the Athenean Society.
| While we are we'll prepared to
give the best instruction in Primary
work as shown in last weeks paper,
We are better prepared than ever to
give the best advantage to college
students. Our laboratory is unsur-
passed by any Seminary in the state
The school is furnished with the best
Astronomical and Physiological
charts, good mineral cabinet, a full
line of chemical and physical appar-
atus. These are being constantly
increased.
A woman should have the highest
education of which the human mind
is capable. She should be both ar
tstic and practical. She should
know Literature, Science and Phil
osophy and by her sweet christian
spirit be the missing link" between
man and angels. We do not wish tc
turn out waxen dolls or stuffed
specimens or dissolving views, but
tremendously and suitably cultured
women, not only for their own gooC
but for that for whom they are di,
vinely called to care.
We believe that education should
be carried ON through those lines
that best fit one for the life to be
| lived. We have therefore arranged
our course of study for the practical
training OF girls with reference to the
probable duties of a woman's future.
"Higher Education" in its restricted
sense is not what she requires.
Why is it our Cobb county girls
don't take college course? Their
parents are certainly able to give it
to them. Here is man with eight
hun 1red acres of land, and has mon
| ey to lend, and yet has never given
his daughter, a bright girl of fifteen
or sixteen, any education except
what she could get from the three
or four months schools.
