pills and eight teachers Since that
time its 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 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 ITS way
10 the front and now stands as one
| OF the best-equipped and strongest
schools of its kind in the south.
Its location is one of surprising
beauty as attested by all who have
had an opportunity of viewing the
| buildings and grounds. Situated on
high bluff overlooking the Arkansas
| river on one side and the city Of Lit
| tie Rock on the other. il may well be
| said Of it, as of the city Of old. that
/ It is a thing of beauty which cannot
be hid. 1t 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 its faculty,
! but never has this been SO true as at
the present Prof. MaddoN, after an
/ experience of twelve years as a col
lege president. is a firm believer in
| the truth that only very strong teach
| ers 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 rea-
sous for the phenomenal growth OF
| the school As an evidence of the
above two recent acquisitions to the
faculty might be mentioned, namely,
! Prot C. W Day, as direction OF the
! Conservatory of Music, and Prof Ed
| Guard Gareissen teacher of violin,
| Prof. Gareissen was for some years a
favorite student under the great Bel
| gian yioinist, 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

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 large pa.
tronage from those who desire the
very best. OF the old members Of the
