Morristown is fast assuming envi
able prominence as an educational
centre. Its public schools are of an
exceptionally high standard and are
second to none in the state. They are
models in organization and equip
ment and for thoroughness are
unexcelled Owing to it's picturesque
location, its accessibility and general
healthfulness, a number of private
schools have been established here
and all are in fourishing condition,
the attendance increasing each year.
/ On twenty acre plot, the slope of
hill overlooking a broad panorama
of Morris county, the Morristown
School is situated on the Whippany
road just beyond the city limits. 1t
is an ideal location, containing all the
advantages of town and country. The
/ buildings are roomy and finely equip
ped, and on entering one is impressed
with the home-l like atm osphere that
permeates the place. None of the
earmarks of the story book boarding
school are present; on the contrary the
effect is that felt when one visits
we'll ordered country home.
The main building has two wings
connected by glass-enclosed galleries.
The wings are used for recitation
urposes, while in tn main building
are the living apartments of the boys
and the masters. During the summer
many improvements have been made,
the left wing having been enlarged by
twenty feet, thereby making room for
several more recitation rooms, made
necessary by the growth of the school.
improvements have also been made in
the servants quarters and in the
laundry, also four rooms have been
flushed on the top floor which will
be occupied by masters. Altogether
the school is following policy of
expansion, not only in the scope of
its curriculum but in its capacity for
housing and teaching. Last year
sixty-two boys attended this school.
This year already seventy five have
completed arrangements for attend
ance and more are expected before the
opening day, which is October 1st.
The boys come from all parts of the
country, even far off Honolulu being
represented
This school has many attractions
that appeal at once to the healthy,
athletic boy. There is we'll equipped
gymnasium. quarter mile bicycle
track, base ball and foot ball fields,

no expense has been spared in furnish
ing means for the p-building of q
sturdy physique as well as careful
mental training. The aim of the
school is to give progressive and sys.
