ANOTHER ONE OF
THE SCHOLARSHIPS

The keystone Academy is non-sec-
| tartan, but is most emphaticaly a
| Christian school. The teachers and a
very large percentage of the students
are processing Christians. A high
| standard of scholarship and Christian
| character Is the chief concern.
No royal road to learning" has yet
been found and students learn that
! anything worthy of possession Is worth
earnest effort, so they are encouraged
to apply themselves diligently even to
those subjects which may mot be at
tractive to them.
The education Is substantial, practi-
cal and removed as rar as possible
from mere display.
- 1T is the aim of those in charge to
make the home life and surroundings
and influences such as should be found
in model home. The personal con-
tact of teachers with students develops
sympathetic relations. manliness Of
character and that self-relance and
that self-respect that are most con-
ducive to an ideal system OF self-gov-
ernment which ii is the desire to OBJ
tain.
the amount of 100000, with an endow-
ment, have been contributed by gener-
GUS friends. On the basis of these gifts
and additional annual contributions,
tuition and board are furnished at
very reasonable amount. The aim of
the school has been to furnish thorough
instruction and superior home advant-
ages at a moderate charge and to in
crease the productive funds so that no
meritorious student need be turned
away through want of means.
Courses of Study.
The Academy has three courses of
instruction that require three years
work after the completion of the pre-
paratory year, namely, ii Classical. an
Academic, and Business and Scien-
titc course A full four years course
in Latin and two years in German are
also provided for those who desire to
prepare for college with advanced
standing. In order to enter upon any
of these courses students must be pre-
pared to pass examinations in geog-
raphy arithmetic, United States his
tory, English grammar and spelling.
The studies of the preparatory year
include these, together with elocution
and penmanship, and in many cases
require two years work. In addition to
these, a Commercial course is offered.
which may be completed in about one
year.
Description Of the Courses.
The Classical course includes those
subjects necessary for admission to
college, and, when properly completed
prepares students to enter the best COL
leses and pursue with advantage the
studies of the freshman year. The aim
is not merely to get students into col
lege, but to so train them to habits of
study and systematic work and TO
ground them so firmly in the prepara-
tory subjects that they may easily and
pro1itably take up the higher work.
The Academic course is designed for
those who intend to pursue the Latin
Scientific course at college, or enter
from the Academy directly upon the

Four of Uncle Sams rural mail car riers pierced the interior of Montgomery County yesterday for the first time and were received joyously by the men who tlll the soil.
 October 1 marked the inauguration of the government rural mail delivery ser vice in Montgomery County. The Adver- tiser assigned me the duty of going over one of the routes with a carrier. I car ried the mail one day and 1t was not an unpleasant task.
 The white farmers of the County were delighted with the service and hailed it IS one of the most welcome innovations of the last decade With the plantation negroes 1t was different. Some were skep- tical as to the duty of carriers, regarding as inconceivable that men were em- ployed to take up letters and bear them to a postoffice. The more intelligent ne- groes received the carrier as did the whites and greeted the inauguration of the service as an indication of the prog ress in the rural districts of the County.
 The carriers went to their work with enthusiasm. They had been ordered by Assistant Postmaster Henry Irwin to re- port at the postoffice in time to make up heir mails and leave the office by 8 ,'clock. Long before that hour they were hand.
 Yesterdays mail was small but was handled by the carriers as If the national credit of the government depended on heir having the mails ready for delivery m hour before the appointed hour,
 The carriers do not wear uniform dress A metallic badge fastened to their civil an hats is the only insignia of their of- ice. The badges read, Rural Free De- livery Service" with the route number If the carrier underneath

brings from $16 a month in the remote suburbs to $28 and 80 month near the heart of the city. Families moving from smaller or less thriving cities than Mont gomery are appalled, at rent figures here, but the prices asked are paid without question and are regulated by demand and by property values.
 Moving day each year emphasizes Montgomery's steady growth and pros perity.
 The first of October marked a number of important changes in the city's busi- ness district
 The firm. Josiah Morris & Co.,, exchang- ed locations with the Union Trust and Savings Company. The latter moved from its old place in the Moses build ing to the quarters occupied so long by the banking house of Josiah Morris & Co.,. and the banking firm has moved into the Trust Company's former quarters.
 Leaks undertaking establishment has been moved from its Commerce Street location to the room in the old Advertiser building on Perry Street formerly used by the circulation department Of The Advertiser. The Advertisers old business office Is now used by Hurley, the tailor
 The Jesse French Piano and Organ Company has transferred its stock from @ bcAttf AVcuuS tO AlU AOAScA

 J. T.

Moving day in Montgomery was a busy one and many persons are in new houses today.
 The sight of drays yesterday loaded with household goods in transit from one portion of the city to another was common one. Just how many families who were homeless in the streets of Montgomery for an hour or more yes- terday can not be estimated.
 In Montgomery as in many other South- ern cities. October l. by common consent, by custom and by usage, has been set apart as moving day. Houses are rented and leases are made from October to Oc- tober. In the North the first of May is the day on which the general change of abode takes place. The balmy weather which usually prevails in the South in the opening days of October no doubt had its influence in establishing the custom of moving Uhen October began.
 The weather for a transfer of house. hold goods was ideal yesterday. It. was not too hot to superintend the lifting and placing of furniture. nor was 1t too cold for comfort in the new but cheerless abode before the arrival of all the house. hold goods.
 It was a red letter day for the transfer companies. They had all the business they could handle. Their drays and their crews were occupied every hour of the day and it was a tired lot of negro dray men who went home when the shades of night had fallen and all the heavy furnit- ure had been lifted.
 The real estate agents, whose business 1t is to rent houses and find houses for the dissatisfied, were unwilling to vouch- safe an estimate of the number of fam flies in Montgomery who moved from one house to another. The number was be- yond doubt very large.
 There are fewer houses in Montgom- cry not rented than there were last year" said we'll known real estate man at the close of the day. "In fact. practically no houses are for rent. I know of many families who are looking for new homes and I cannot find for them houses that are satisfactory. 4 large number of houses have been built in Montgomery in the past twelve months, but the supply Is hardly equal to the demand. The fill- ing of these new houses and the reduction of the small number of vacant houses from last years total shows how rapidly Montgomery is acquiring new inhabi- tants."-
 A strong proof of the city's growth is shown in the high rents for modest houses which are demanded and freely paid. Rents are high and firm. If there is any difference between rent charges of this and last year this year shows a slight increase. Rents for houses of av- craze size have been called excessive. Yet they are practically all taken and a vacant house is rented with little or no effort.
