Naturally bright and loving fun those

way to an unconscious grace and free

ART L.EVEE.

On Monday evening the friends of
= b aplist College and all who were inter
ested in the work of art in all of its diff
ferent phases, were invited TO the art
reception held in the east rooms of the
| college and to enjoy the inspection of
The wuIk done by the art class during
the past year. The room seemed IL per-
feet paradise. On every side were hung
beautiful pictures, many of them drawn
from life ard all o! them displaying the
ability and skill of the young artists
Numerous pictures in pastel, crayOn,
water colOrs and oil adorned the walls
and the many tables, ddintily filled with
the beautiful and artistic paintings of
the china pupils, afforded much pleas
ure and true enjoyment to those inter
ested in this branch of art which is one
of the most popular ones of the day
Miss Felts my congratulate herself
upon this exhibit. The writer heard
many compliments passed on the work
of the young ladies' and this only reflects
credit on their instructor. Lexington
has seen few art exhibits equal to this
one ana perhaps none have surpassed it,
Miss Felts' portrait work is excellent
and shows her to be an artist of natural
talent. She has proven herself 81 capa-
bic teacher and SO apt to have every
pupil improve her time advantageously
that the school is fortunate in receiving
her services for another year.
Among the pictures, which were much
admired, were found quite number by
Miss Edna Tidball. Her works from
life were good. One picture by her,
representing young man and woman
sitting on the bank of a great river and
looking far out over the water, at
lracted great deal of attention and was
highly praised. She has only been in
the art class during one term and has
made remarkable progress
Miss WiIhoite displayed number of
pictures, among them some portraits in
crayon. She had a beautiful painting
in oil. The Chrysanthemums, which
attracted much attention.

To this school she had only exchanged
one home for another. In Il short
while sha was assigned To II room and
introduced To her room mate as Miss
Carrie Clendon.
Already having completed some OF
the studies of the freshman year Carrie
took with the remainder Il part of
those included in thJ sophomore and
after the ordeal of the first few days
she became too interested in and busy
with her studies to notice or resent the
remarks she overheard concerning her
appearance.
Gradually the interest in the 'new
girl subsidized BY her quiet respect
ful manner and obedience To the rules
she soon won the good will of her
teachers and before many weeks pass
ed her classmates awoke 10 the fact
that The ungainly Carrie Clendon usu-
ally managed TO answer the questions
put TO her by her teachers clearly and
concisely.
In June, ut the end of her first year
at boarding school she carried home

every department has been raised and
special attention is given TO teaching
branches in which Vassar requires eX-
aminations for entrance.
The HYPATIA SOCIETY.
The college also supports Il literary
society-The Hypatia. In conducting
this society the young ladies gain a
special knowledge of parliamentary
rules as well as a practical application
of rhetorical and literary work. The
society meets at frequent intervals and
the program consists of readings,
music, debates, essays, etc. This is not
allowed to interfere with regular school
work, but furnishes pleasant employ
ment for hours otherwise unemployed.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of the school during
the past year could not be surpassed.
In fact record has been made of
which few schools, if any, could boast.
MOI once during the year did the fac
ulty meet on Il case of discipline.
Mildncss is combined with lirmncss at
all times and an effort Is made To rdu-
pupils the principle of doing right,
because it j. right. The students are
expected AT all times 10 conform 10 the
rules of he school aud any disubedience
thereto is punished 10y drmt ritS, a GER
tain number of which is considered
cause for dismissal from school. How
ever, during the past few years the
fauclIy has experienced very little
trouble, if any, of such high standard
has been the girls constituting the
school. For any excuses for absence
from school or church or permission TO
leave the college, the Young ladies
apply TO the matrOD, who gives excuses
or permi, sions rs her judgment dictates.
The school is conducted on the princi-
pie of one large family-an cndeavor
being made TO make the young ladies
feel that they have only come from one
home to another. They are surrounded
at all times 10y Christian influence, and
among themselves support missionary
society and Young Woman's Christian
Association.
HEALTH
The school has always had splendid
health record which is due largely to
