A Statement Concerning Mad
iSon Institute.

There is a crisis in Madison Insti-
tute, and 1 feel that it is my duty to
inform the citizens of Madison coun-
t, uf this fact. 1t is well known that
for the last fifteen years the school
b not been a financial success.
Havi z no endowment fund the
school, like other female colleges, is
dependent for support on the income
from the board aud tuition of its stu
dents. The present session has been
a prosperous one in every respect
except in the matter of finance.
Toe work ami the anxiety and feeling
OF responsibility involved in it are 50
great that man soon tires Of it
when there is little or no money to be
made at 1t; and now after three years
of earnest effort it is perfect evident
that unless the financial skies grow
brighter in The near future | will be
compelled 10 give it up, as my prede-
cessurs did. And if | give it up
Madison Institute will become thing
OF the past, for no man in his senses
would take it with tue expectation of
making it pay after three others had
given it fair trial, extending through
hfteen years, and failed. Anyone
VINO would be foolish enough to I'M
dertake it then would not be capable
of making a success of anything.
The only remedy in the case is
more loyalty tn the school on the part
of the peUpie of this community,
shown by more hearty support and
an increase of patronage. If the peO-
pie feel enough interest in it TO apply
this remedy its continuance is as
sured. There are a number of boys
add girls in this county now receiv-
ing elsewhere instruction that Madi-
son Institute affords, who, if enrolled
in this school, would increase its in
come sufficiently to make the insti-
tuition re asUnable profitable. | have
decided TO remain another year and
see whether our citizens care enough
for it to do this and keep it alive l
have heard a number of persons say
that if the people had known in lime
the true condition of Cen raj Univers-
Ivy they would have come to the
escue and kept it in Richmond; and
they censured those in authority for
not letting the facts be known. As
40 not wish 10 be deserving Of such
censure | am now making known in
advance tho tree state of affairs con-
corning Madison Institute, leaving il
ID them to decide what its fate snail
he.
This is the only female college in
Kentucky VIII Sc teachers are grad

yersity OF Michigan Ann ArbOr). and
others of the worlds greatest schools.
| say this deliberately, for it is tru-.
And this accounts for another fact,
namely. that it is the only school in
The State whose graduates enter the
great institutions of the north and
east, such as Wellesley and Vassar,
without examinaL on. This is II priv
ilege enjoyed by no other school south

make it my business to keep informed
bout such matters. Is not this a
proud distinction for Richmond Can
The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1904-05-11

this county afford TO lose such an
Institution just for the want of sufIi-
cient patronage? 1t may occur tc
some to raise the questions: Why
does not Madison Institute, if its
faculty is superior to that of other
schools, receive a larger patronage
from a distaHceP The answer is easy.
The chief reason is that Richmond is
S mewhat isolated, and is not as
accessible as some other school towns
Lexington for instance. which is q
railroad center; and many think,
without an reason, that the larger
the town the better the school, for
getting, if they ever knew it, that
some of the greatest universities are
III comparatively small places. Men
have told me that they regard Mad
S Institute as the best female col
lege in the State, but that they prefer
to send their daughters to Lexington
simply because their business takes
them to that town about once month
and gives them an opportunity to
visit their daughters and return home
the same day, which they could not
do if they sent them to Richmond
where their business never requires
them to 90.
Madison Institute, with it's superior
advantages, ought really to receive
a liberal endowment from the people
of Thu community. but all it's asks is
their liberal patronage. Surely Thu
is not an unreasonable request. All
that your children need in the matter
of a first-clsss education can be OBJ
tanned here at very reasonable rates.
Do they need music? Our tearhers
in this department received the most
thorough training at the leading
music cOnservatOries of this country
and Europe, and have shown BIZ their
thorough and painstaking work that
they have no Supporters. This is
evident to all who attend the splendid
recitals given by their pupils from
time to time. Do they need art?
We employ as ins ructOrs in this de-
p4rtment only those who were edsca-
ted at the leading art schools of
America. Have you small boys? II
ynu send them here they will be in
s'ructed by teachers of long and sue
cessful experience, in rooms that are
not crowded, and they will not be-
imposed on by large and rough boys.
and will not be thrown with evil
associates who are older and from
whom so much that is bad and in
furious is soon learned.
Again / ask, is Madison county
willing to lose Madison Institute? A
few more months will tell.

absolutely no excuse for the clerk who
