Montgomery cry Schools.

We arc makiog special efforts
this year to attract boys and girls
from the rural districts to our
schools. We confidently believe
that we are offering advantages
unexcelled by other secondary
schools. Many Of our boys and
girls are wasting valuable timc,
attending the rural schools. going
over the same ground year after
year, when at very little cost they
might have all the advantages Of
good High School and bc pre-
pairing themselves for professional
life or a successful business ca.
reer. The fault IL not necessarily
with the school or teacher, but
because there IL so much to be
done In the average country school
that the proper time and attention
cannot be given to the larger pu.
pills and to High School studies.
Our High School course Of study
IL all that could be desired for n
preparatory school. We oiicr the
student four years OF work, giving
him the choice OF two courses,
classical aud scientific, either of
which articulatc with the State
University. Our graduates are
admitted to the higher institutions
upon certificate, without cxami-
nation. We are not Offering an
easy road to High School gradua-
tion. but we do offer an opportun-
ity to ambitious boys aud girls to
obtain a good. practical education
at comparatively small cost. Il is
our purpose to meet, as far as we
are able, the educational needs OF
our boys and girls and prepare
them for the higher institutions, or
send them out better prepared TO
play their part In the worlds ac-
tivitics. Our work IL thorough
aud our course is 80 arranged that
each student Is able to pursue his
or her work to the hest advantage.
Believing that II Il not all Of cdu-
cation TO instruct, We try 10 de-
vclopc the physical. mental and
moral powers OF the pupil; and
try "to help the mind to perform
Its functions of knowing and
growing" Also believing that
lax discipline and irregular habits
are not conducive to true scholar
ship, and being convinced that
our rules are not arbitrary, but
just and reasonable. we strenuous
ly insist upon compliance with
these rules aud do all we can to
inspire n wholesome respect for
aw and order. We are trying to
make manly, efficient men OF your
boys, and true women OF your
girls, and earnestly ask your sup
)ort and interest In our work. We
irgc upon the boys and girls the
necessity OF good education, and
would have none Of them stop
hort ofa good High School course.
To this end we invite IA careful
and investigation Of
he works Of the Montgomery
schools. Full information glad
furnished tn any one Interested.
Very respectfully,
CiiAs. &. COLLECT, Sup't.
