TOME GROWS AT
RAPID PACE.
TWO NEW DORMITORiES AND A
DINING HALL TO BE ADDED.
Changes In Administration And Me-
fhods--Mr. GayIey On The
Board Of Trustees.

The very rapid growth which the Jacob
Tome Institute has had during the past
year is attracting widespread attention
to this remarkable Maryland institution.
When the plan of boys boarding school
at Port Deposit was first suggested
opinion was by no means unanimous in
favor of such Il scheme. There were
many expressions that the large endow-
ment which had been left by Mr.. Tome
could not be protitably employed in this
way, but in the short period of four
years it has been definitely shown that
there is Il place in American education
for the secondary school conducted on
the same serious principles that direct
the great American colleges.
The officers of the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute planned "A school which could COM
mand men and resources such as up to
this time had been employed only in the
higher schools of learning in America
-Four years is Il very brief period in
which to test any great educational plan
but the work done at Port Deposit has
been 50 convincing and the interest so
general that the plans for the school have
passed far beyond any tentative stage.
Already the Tome Institute is recog-
schools, and the career 50 au>piciouSly
begun may lead to very important de
velopmentS.
-Four years ago Is boys were enrolled
as boarding students. This year the
number reaches nearly 100 This does
not include a large number of day stu
dents. who come from Il wide area ON
the trains and from the town of Port
Del,YSit The students represent the fol-
lowing States: Maine. Massachusetts,
New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania.
Delaware. Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Ohio. Illinois, Michigan, North
Carolina, Kentucky. Utah, Rhode Is
land. Colorado. Minnesota. South Da-
kota, Nebraska. Texas. Indiana. Pan
anna, Costa Rica and Mckee.
1t will be seen that the area covered is
