Maddox Seminary was first estab Hshed at Oxford, Miss, in 1854, where 1t tiourished for forty years under the name of the Oxford Seminary. In 1894 that talented gentleman and great edu. cator, Prof. s. A. Maddox, secured control of the meritorious school, and since that time Prof. Maddox has la bored with zeal and fidelity for the establishment of a school of learning that would reflect it's thoroughness and excellence in every pupil that en- tered its portals. and how well his ef- forts have been rewarded is well known to the citizens of not only this but many other states. In 1897 there came change in the location. The ravages Of eDidemics often interfered with it's usefulness, and these interruptions, becoming burdensome. it was decided to seek more favored spot, where the already well merited reputation of the seminary might be properly fostered and incresed. The capital City of Arkansas was finally chosen and with open arms the citizen of Little Rock bid it welcome.
 On lovely site in close proximity to the main portion of the city with lines of transportation at it's very feet, and yet far enough away upon beautiful elevation. enyironed by hand some residences it fourishes today. seemingly especially favored by na- ture and the arts of man for the cu1- ture of pure tender minds that con. tribute so largely to lhe splendid womanhood of this great free land But attractive surroundings and com modious, well appointed buildings. completely furnished are but the ae compartments to that greater ele. ment without which adornments are but pretense.
 It Is the course of instruction the success of medication and the thorough tuition that wins with the public in these institutions.
 The Maddox Seminary has ST 1unded itself solidly in the principles Of correct instruction as to place itself at the head of the front rank in this course of education. With a liheraliUy of thought. an intuitiye conception and an energy of action, combining tho best qualities of a public educator. Prof. Maddox has held steadily on this most important sphere of usefulness until he has obtained a record in the promotion and successful direction of school for young ladies that has trayeled away across the land and given him prestige of which he may well be proud.
 In his work he is assisted by the very best talent obtainable, and the fac uIty is well balanced in all the differ ent courses in which instruction is giv- en. In fact Prof. Maddox has a s10,- 900 faculty composed entirely of spec ialists.
 The literary and art departments are especially strong and thorough and consist of the latest and most improved methods advanced by modern think. CTS. Mathematics are given special attention and unlike many other sem inaries do not stop at trigonometry, but embraces analytical geometry, cal culus advanced astronomy and ad- vanced physics.
 The courses of music. elocution and art are unexcelled. and have won for this seminary reputation that is well deserved.
 With this advantage right here at home. why should our citizens send their daughters abroad for an educa. tion that can be obtained at home. in easy reach in case of sick. ness or other condition that may intervene. It would be useless expen. diture of money and in most cases without obtaining as good results as this seminary offers.
 There are twenty-one teachers and officials in the employ of this institu- tion, and with strong local following tion, all of them are high class special ists in their chosen vocation and we'll versed in the duties incumbent upon them.
 The next term promises to be more largely attended than heretofore. 190 
 citizens of Little Rock are greatly in- terested in the success of this institu- tion. and with a strong local following there is no question as to a grander and bigger success.
 The fact is not to be ignored that by its presence in our midst s150.000 Is annu py expended among our mer- chants and trades people. Many an article from our close competing mer- chants is sent out by student pur- chasers to their homes abroad, not counting that students friends and relatives are constantly visiting them and shopping while they are here and thus the institution becomes a public benefit as well as a school of superior training.
 There Is no institution in the state that is more deserving of constant and united support by the peolple than the Maddox Seminary. which Is un- ouestionably one of the most thorough efficient and meritorious schools to be found in the United States.
