this violin did sing. Out of that black

Likewise, the parent, may congratulate

has in addition to a full and thorough
preparation at Wake Forest College,
seven years experience in the school
room and has called to his aid a faculty
every whit worthy. The institution is
an English, classical scientific and bust
ness school, designed to prepare boys
and young men for college or practical
life.
The school commends itself to those
parents who desire a school whose loca-
ton is easily accessible and yet rarely
equalled for healthfulness and beauty of
surroundings; a school in which the So
cial relations are the very best, the
morality that of Christian principles,
and in which the instruction and dis
ciplne are of the highest order; school
in which the boy is taught to work from
right motives, and every proper effort is
made for his comfort and pleasure, and
in which a higher value is placed upon
the boy himself than upon proficiency
in studies; a school limited as to the
number OF pupils, thus securing select
companionshp and home-life not found
in the larger and crowded institutions,
and making it possible for the boys to
enjoy intimate personal acquaintance
with the faculty.
