must have high high standards of pre-,

college ready for college work and col

from the high school to the Freshman
class should be natural advancement In
the education Of the student and not q
sudden revolution in his life in which
"old things" must be entirely abandoned
and altogether new ones learned. He
should be prepared to take hold of the
college work as soon as he enters without
any halting or post preparation. As wa:
said, the need of this class of work ha:
been for some time felt and expressed by
our college instructors. In the North
and 10 some Of the Central States great
deal of attention is being paid to high
school work, And some of the Northern
high schools, as for instance, the Law
renceyille High school, and the Phillips
Academy, do better work than a great
many Of our so-called Southern colleges
IL is no wonder then that Southern
gradustes go North and take post>grad,
uate work. We need to pay more atlen.
tion TO intension and not so much TO ex.
tension In our high school work, and
then our colleges will be able to do more
for their students In the four years OF
college life.
II was with view to these facts that
the Trinity Park High School was estab,
lished. Itspurpose Is to prepare students
to enter college. Il is distinctly high
school, hence 1t does not pretend nor
propose to prepare students for the Soph,
omore nor the Junior class 10 college
but for the Freshman class. II will NOT
attempt to prepare students for the
Sophomore class 10 college Eg.il the

opportunity Of keeping fully abreast with
the times In their peculiar lines Of worl
and the students get the use Of a colleg'
library and the inspiration Of a colleg,
atmosphere.
Still the High School Is distinct insii
tuition. II has its own buildings, its owl
faculty, Its own student It's own fees
and its own methods Of working. Thu
only direct connection that IL has witt
the college Is that the President Of To-
