one OF tho unique and most desirable
features OF the institution IS the division
o. its classes into numbers not exceed
ing fifteen each. thus rendering n easily
possible Tor each scholar 10 receive the
personal attention 81 his Instructor. and
enabling the teacher to become intimate
with the temperament. needs and abii-
~ OF each boy entrusted 10 his care. OF
the ripe benefits Of this method parents
cannot be insenslblc as Il dispels the
dread which many entertain Of their
boys being thrown into large classes in
which indiyidualities are lost and many
students LEFT without direct and daily
supervision.
Another special feature Of the scholas-
tie advantages Of the academy Is the
system which prevails in the study hall.
For two hours every night the brilliant
ly lighted hall Is occupied by the stu
dents. and a special instructor Is en-
pioycd 10 be with them during this Pc

teachers are employed in this work. The
school is one which has its distinctive
mission. and which. under the present
management is annually accomplishing

The town OF Front Royal IS situated az
the Junction of the Norf0lk and West
