MADDOX SEMINARY FOR YOUNG
 LADIES.
Seventh Session Opens September
 q, 1904.

Maddox Seminary for Young La. dies, at Little Rock, Ark, will begin it's seventh session September 21, 1904 This popular institution was established at it's present location in the fall of 1897, with only twelve pu- pills and eight teachers. Since that time it's progress has been steady and rapid, so much so that at the session closing last June about 200 boarders and as many day pupils were enrolled in its schools Over forty teachers were employed in the various depart ments to give instruction to this great army of young ladies. Such progress is little short of marvellous, when the fact is taken into consideration that the institution is a private one. sup ported by no endowment or denomi- national aid, and is proof of the ex- cellency of the management under which it has been run. Other colleges have been born, lived short exist encse, and fallen. but Maddox Sem mary is here to stay-an institution which by pure merit has won it's way to the front and now stands as one of the best-equipped and strongest schools of it's kind i'll the south.
 Itc location ie of beauty as attested by all who have had an opportunity of viewing the buildings and grounds Situated on a high bluff overlooking the Arkansas river on one side and the city of Lit tie Rock on the other, it may well be said of it. as of the city of old, that it is a thing of beauty which cannot be hid Ii is high above the malarial belt and enjoys an atmosphere fresh and cooler by five degrees than the temperature of the city below.
 The institution has always had competent instructors on it's faculty, but never has this been so true as at the present. Prof Maddox. after an experience of twelve years as col lege president Is firm believer in the truth that only very strong teach. CTS can build up and maintain a strong institution, and he spares no pains or money to secure the best. equipped specialists to be found This has been one of the chief req sons for the phenomenal growth Of the school. As an evidence of the above two recent acquisitions to the faculty might be mentioned, namely, Prof. C. W. Day, as director of the Conservatory of Music, and Prof. Ed. ouard Gareissen. teacher of violin Prof Gareissen was for some years q fay0rite student under the great Bel. gian yiolinist. Musin. and is conced. ed to be possibly the best violinist in this section of the southwest. Prof Day is a graduate of the Royal Con. seryatory at Leipsic. and has studied under the best masters in Europe After six years experience as direc tor of the conservatory in one of the leading institutions in Ohio, he again went to Europe last year and now comes to Maddox Seminary fresh from the masters at Paris. With these very strong additions to the faculty all of whom are equally well prepared in their various departments the in sttution is sure to secure a large pa tronage from those who desire the very best. Of the old members of the faculty Miss Mcdonald has just re turned from a summers sojourn in Europe and will no doubt bring new inspiration and yigor to her work in the school.
 The prospects for a large enroll ment of boarding students during the year 1904-5 are very bright indeed Already more young ladies are en. rolled than at this time at any pre- vious year in the history of the school. No doubt at the opening of next session every available room i'll the building will be taken and the management is expecting this to be the banner year. For this reason it will be well for those who contem. plate patronizing the school to com. municate at once with the manage. AcHt anu ludhe lHelT arrangements so no trouble will be experienced in securing room.
 The people of Arkansas should feel proud of such school as Maddox Seminary being in their Capital City, and do all in their power to build it up to an even higher standard of ex. cellence We have great state, of undisputed natural wealth and ad- vantageous surroundings, then why should We not have in our midst in our capital city great school for the higher education of our daughters as one of the erowning features of our progressive development?
