 Location of School.
 Camp Hill is on the Columbus and Bir- mingham branch of the Central Railway of Georgia. one hsndred miles southeast of Birmingham in a most delightful cli- mate and healthy portion of the State. It Is accessible by railroad and except for the lack of connections of the Vest ern and Central trains at Opelika would be in easy intercourse with the Capital and the outside world The trains of the Western of Alabama and the Columbus and Westernl Railroad miss about thirty minutes or an hour of connection morn ing and evening and mails are not only delayed. but passengers are compelled to spend Il day or night in Opelika. Tickets cannot be bought from Camp Hill to Montgomery, and trunks have to be re- checked at Onelika Since the Railroad Commission has been given mandatory powers the people might secure the relief by petition and proper presentation of the question to that body. The Adverti- ser is put at great disadvantage by the failure of the morning train to make con- nection at Opelika by a fex minutes and does not each here until the afternoon It is the favorite paper all along the way and with proper connec+io IS would have a large list along the line of this road
 Camp Hill is 760 feet above the sea level and the school is just outside the village with 400 acres of beautiful plantation and woodland, in a model rural section of the State, where the people are honest and industrious and the best class of citl- zens.

This is not a school of technology. nor is 1t a school of liberal arts, as we use these terms. It is a school that undertakes to make 1t possible for earnest industrious youth to win an education and learn some use flil trade. with the outlay of but little money. The most that is necessary is the willing heart and obedient hand Too many, far too many. of our youth are denied the privileges Of even the elements of an English education for the want of means. Without givinS money directly to any student, out by the skilful use of the industrial system, this school seeks to help at all times white youth of slen- der means.
 Students with iinite1 means, at the convenience of the faculty may work at certain productive indus, -ies thereby earning enough to partially pay term bills Each industrial stulerJ must, at the beginning of the year, deposit s10 with the Treasurer. This sum will pe placed 10 his credit. 4 large number Of students can be accommodated who may earn as much as s4 50 9 month. This sum will be used toward defraying the stu dents expenses. He will work two days 6 week and attend school the four re- maining days. A limit ed number of stu dents may be accommodated who can only pay in Iabof. These work all day and attend night school until their bal-
