MADDOX SEMINARY
A Growing Institution.

Three years ago this and Union Fe male College at Oxford, Miss. was driven from its home. where it had been chartered and operated since 1So4, and Little Rock was chosen for new home. The college was found. cd by Dr. s. O. Burney, who afte,, about fifteen years Of successful ad- mlnlstration was succeeded by pr. C.. Il. Bell, whose administration was also long and successful. Then came pr. Howard, and later President A. 5. Maddox, the youngest man who had ever been chosen by the board as pres. ident of the college. It was only a short while until President Maddox had demonstrated his superior ability ana eminent fitness for the work he had chosen and the office he had ac- cepteI. In less than two years the patronage was so materially increased that new buildings became necessary and were erected. These were filled within the next two years, and others were needed, when the yellow fever came and the school fled to Little Rock for safety. Notwithstanding the citizens of Oxford offered the build. ings free to MT. Maddox and proposed to charter ears to return the faculty and student body free to Oxford, the city of Little Rock, through it's pro gressive board of trade, saw her chance and was equal to the emargen- cy. Soon after locating in Littla Rock President Maddox applied for and secured d new charter for the col. lege under the new name of Maddox Seminary for Young Ladies, which name has already become a household word throughout the southwest. The growth of the school during so short a period of time has been something phenomenal. One hundred and forty boarders, besides good local pat ronage, were enrolled last session. New buildings were erected and the entire main building overhauled, mak- ing the whole one of, fl not the best. school plants for young ladies in the southwest. The buildings are newly and elegantly furnished from bottom to top, and are supplied with the most modern conYeniences. No school for young ladies can produce higher and more varied course of study, and the faculty is composed of men and wom- en who are scholars and specialists in their lines. As an indication of it's superior work, it's students are being elected to responsible positions i'll schools in the various sections of the country. The school is strictly reli- gi0us, but non-sectarian in it's charac- ter thus making it so any student of any creed can feel perfectly easy and at home within its walls. MT Maddox was wise in selecting Little Rock for the new home, and now that the most skeptieal have been convinced that the school is q success everybody, with one accord, will pull for Greater Mad dox Seminary in the future. Little Rock is justly proud of such a school, and will support 1t with her money and patronage. It would be idle to do otherwise. Those who are interested in schools at all should send for the catalogue and look into the claims and merits of this institution. It will pay to do so.

James NJ. Barrie has just passed his

ScraWling on Il bit Of paper at Dunn
fries Academy something like this:
When you read the following article

great literary genius appearing before
your eyes and takin our hearts by
storm? Whether the article in the
school magazine ever took anybody by
storm or not is not known Mr.. Barrie
seemed n long way from fame and for
tune then. But he found an inspiring
friend in the village tailor. who taught
him to repeat the lines: What can |
do to be forever known and make the
age To come my own" Mr. Barrie
made UP his mind that the thing for
him to do was TO write. and he took up
his ren and wrote himself into fame
But carrie did not find fame like BY

while Yet mere lad, reached the pub
Usher in a three volume novel. The
published thought the writer a clever
lady" and was ready to publish the
book for her for 600: but Barrie's au-
tocraph was not worth G100 to him in
those days and his first book remained
wrapped up somewhere in brown pa
