I'm this connection" said Mrs. Young
yesterday, sit may be well to state how
easily any ambitious pupil can now be
prepared from college in any high
school of good standing. The require
ments are virtually the same in the
Middle, the New England and South
ern States Association of Colleges,
while the conditions are very liberal.
The exact course requisite can be
found in the excellent college cata-
logues, and given good teachers and
willing pupils, college preparatory
work and even the work of the fresh
man class in colleges may be studied
in our home schools without the slight
est difficulty
las each finishing school in Savannah
numbers college graduates among it's
corps of teachers, it is a foregone con-
clusion that they are prepared for this
high grade work. Reference is here
made only to those colleges which re-
ceive students who have completed
h Tcrh
those which include grammar
school work in the curriculum.
1T would be we'll if the distinction
could be more closely drawn between
these, for the term college is very mis-
leading, as 1t is now applied to both
the preparatory school and the college
or university proper. Scholarships are
frequently offered to the pupils of high
schools, and more than one Savannah
girl is now availing herself of this aid
in obtaining a college course.
ION application, the college examina-
lions are often sent to the schools so
that they may be had at home even if
pupil does not care to enter college.
The Woman's College, Lynchburg, Va,
is pronounced by DR.. I. M. L. Curry
commissioner of Peabody Educational
FUND.- to be equal to any college in
Virginia for men, and to any college
trance examinations have been offered
by the president to pupils in Savannah
who can pass their examinations here
and have their papers sent under seal
to the college.
II will be very glad to render any
aid in my power to those who wish to
enter a Southern college of first rank.
or the colleges of same rank at the
North if preferred, whenever it is
practicable.
