Institute are few The following spe-
Cial regulations will show the wisdom
of those that are made and enforced:
/. Every applicant for admission to
the school must bring testimonial
from his last instructor.
II. Use of tobacco or liquor in any
form, either by teacher or student, is
absolutely prohibited.
III. Pupils must not contract any
bills or borrow any money, nor sell or
trade off personal property, without
consent of the principal.
". Pupils will not leave the grounds
without permission, as it is necessary
to know where they are at all times.
When necessary, permission is obtained
from the teacher in charge.
V. Any pupil who shall mark, cut or
otherwise deface any school property
shall be assessed sufficiently to repair
or replace the article damaged and be
punished for the misdemeanor COM
mitted.
VI. A deposit of not less than five
dollars should be left to meet incidental
expenses and also a sum sufficient for
pocket money, from ten to fifty cents
week. The school does not encour-
age eXtravagant habits, but would in
culcate a spirit of economy and thrift.
VII. Each pupil will write weekly

the old motto, "Mcns sana in corpoie
sane" is constantly before them. TO
this end regularity of habits, clcanli-
ness and neatneSs in personal appear
ance are most strongly insisted upon.
During the past year there was not
single case of sickness sufficient TO
require the services of a physician.
The table is supplied with the best
that the markets afford. The school
has it's own gardens, from which are
supplied all vegetables used for the
table.
Special attention is paid to the man
ners of the boys in the dining room.
They are seated at small tables, and a
teacher is in charge of each table, who
sees that gentlemanly conduct and car
riagc are maintained, at the same time
allowing the utmost freedom in conver-
sation consistent with good breeding.
Water Supply and Drainage.
The water supply comes from n
springfield mountain lake. and for its
purity and wholesomeness is admitted
to be the best in the state. The supply
is unlimited and is used for all pur-
poses.
The plumbing and drainage are per-
feet; no malignant disease can be con-
tracted from defect in this respect.
1t is believed that what a boy does
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-07-09

In school depends, largely upon what
he does out of school, and therefore the
recreation hours are deemed as a very
important part Of a boys life. 1t is
when a boy has nothing to do that he
becomes discontented and unhappy.
The aim of the Institute Is to furnish
him with good, wholesome physical ex-
ercise that he may the better attend to
his mental duties.
A most enjoyable part of the school
life is found in the outings to the neigh
boring lakes and points of scenic and
historic interest. 1t Is believed that
there Is no portion of country in the
eastern states which offers more Of va
riety and interest to the lover of ma
turc.
It Is school where boys are happy
and 1t aims to combine well-ordered
and refined home with school Of
highest standing.
The School Stables.
The school stable Is provided with
horses and ponies, safe and gentle, for
the boys use. What boy Is not fond
Of pony or horse? They are here
taught to become sklful in their man
agement and learn lessons which may
be of no small use in after life. This
Is feature which offers special attrac-
ton and cannot fail to be productive of
best results. 1t Is also found to be a
most excellent means of discipline.
This costly feature of school life is
maintained free of expense to the stu
dents.
Physical Training.
All proper athletic sports are encour-
aged, but they are regulated in such a
way as not to interfere with the intel
lectual interests of the school. 1t is
especially desired that each boy take
part in all outdoor sports in their sea-
son. To learn self-control on the play
ground Is of the highest value to a boy.
During the winter term regular in
struction is given in light gymnastics
by an instructor.
Summer Session.
The school is open the entire year,
and during the summer an attractive
programme is provided. a portion of
the summer is spent in camp at the
neighboring lakes. instruction is pro-
vided for those desiring 1t.

Saturday, to such, as far as need be,
is devoted to school work. In the even-
Ing pupils assemble to prepare their
lessons for the next day. A teacher is
always In charge to assist when occa-
sion requires.
Discipline.
The discipline Is kind but firm. The
aim Is not large in numbers, but care
ful In composition. The close contact
OF teachers with pupils makes possible
a careful oversight of both manners
and morals, truthfulness, right sense
Of honor, and an interest in the purity
Of the moral atmosphere of the school.
Students whose influence is felt to he
injurious TO good scholarship or good
morals will be removed from the school.
Tobacco in any form is absolutely
prohibited, and neither teachers nor
pupils engage in this harmful practice.
Care of Rooms and Orderly Habits.
1t Is regarded as a matter of prime
Importance that boys have inculcated
In them correct habits, and to this end
special personal attention is given. All
are required to keep themselves tidy
and to have their rooms at all times
In order. Each morning rooms are in
spected by a teacher, in addition to a
personal inspection of each student be-
fore breakfast.
Moral and Religious Life.
The contact of teacher and pupil is
SO intimate and constant that their
weak as well as strong qualities are
easily ascertained. 1t is the earnest
effort Of the school to develop and
strengthen the character of the boys
conmitted to its care.
The school is non sectarian the re-
ligious aim being to maintain at least
the ordinary moral and religious cul-
ture of a Christian home. All boys at
tend church with the faculty in the
morning. In the afternoon they all at
tend Sunday school at such church as
may be designated.
The teachers are all thoroughly
Christian, who seek in every way to
exercise an influence for good over the
boys.
Care of Health, Table, Etc.

student is of prime Importance, and

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-07-09

~HIS morning The Tribune gives
II a description of one of the most
VJ attractive scholarships among
the thirty-three offered in it's
Educational Contest. The New
ton Collegiate Institute and Military
Academy is one of the old and reliable
educational institutions of this part of
the country, it's history dating back
nearly fifty years. The scholarship
which The Tribune offers here Is the
only one in a military academy, and is
particularly attractive on that account.
While it covers but two years of the
course, as described in more detail be-
low, yet these two years will probably
be all that any young man in The Tri-
bune's contest will require, as nearly If
not all those who are working in the
contest are qualified to enter the junior
classes.
Workers in The Tribune's contest
should not lose sight of the fact that
many of the scholarships offered in
clude not only tuition, but also board,
room, and all other charges of import
ance. Advertisements offering scholar
ships are frequently seen, and scholar
ships are offered by nearly all of the
large institutions and to graduates of
high schools, but these never cover
more than the tuition, and frequently
those offered In the higher Institutions
of learning do not entirely cover that.
And yet they are called scholarships.
Men of means found scholarships" of
$50 and 500 in institutions where the
tuition charges alone may amount to
5000 or more. The tuition charge is
only one item of expense, and fire.
quently the smaller half of the cost.
Offer Will Never Be Duplicated.
Six of The Tribune's scholarships,
and those in the most desirable instl-
tutions, include not only tuition, but
board. room, heat. light and washing,
and several of the others cover addi-
tional items beyond the cost of tuition.
1t is safe to say that such an offer was
never before made, and The Tribune
does not expect to ever again dupli-
cate it. 1t is prepared to carry out the
obligation it has made to the letter, but
1t is evident from the scores of some of
the contestants that many of the valu-
able scholarships will go very cheaply.
The contest has still fifteen weeks to
run. and during that time any really
ambitious young person, boy or girl,
has an opportunity to secure an ad-
Vanced education that will never come
to them again. 10 illustrate what is
within the reach of a contestant begin
ming today, it may be stated that four
new subscribers, each agreeing to take
The Tribune for year. and paying the
contestant S., would count forty-eisht
points. These points would place a be-
sinner today in fourteenth place and in
line for a scholarship valued at 5000 or
more. A few points more added each
day and contestant would gradually
