THE CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL.
A Lot Of interesting Facts About an Institution
of Which Bambsrs Can Justly be Proud.
The Carlisle Fitting School of our town
has enioyed year of unusual prosperity.
Renorts of its work are very hattering,
showing the earnestness and equipment
of its faculty. 1t is not out of place for
US to take the opportunity of expressing
our pride of it, of its work, and congratu-
late ourselves upon its existence in our
midst. We notice with pleasure the
sympathy and good feeling Of the town
people for it, the hearty fellowship exist
ing between the students and the young
people of town.
The school building and halls are Stu
ated in one of the prettiest and most oe-
sirable parts of town, upon high, we'll
drained elevation. The main building IS
of brick, two stories in height, consisting
of four recitation rooms, one music room,
library, two society halls, and large
commodious chapel. The building is well
adapted and equipped for its work. The
Girls Hall is very conveniently located
has good facilities for accommodating a
number of girls. In this building with
the girls are the lady assistant, the music
teacher and very excellent matron.
Everything is arranged for the conven-
,ience and accommodation of the students,
making the hall as home-like as possible.
The large attendance this year speaks
well for this department of the school life.
The boys hall is situated on the side OF
the campus, opposite to and fartherest
from the girls hall. In this hall live the
first and second assistants, most excel
lent matron, and the boarding boys. The
hall can accommodate easily about forty
bows. The boys have reading and re-
ception room we'll furnished :and cozy,
have access to the Offices and library OF
the assistants, and are as comfortably
situated and made to feel as much at home
as any set of boys anywhere could be.
The home of the Headmaster is very
comfortable, modern dwelling on the
campus, and between the two boarding
halls, in easy calling distance OF each.
Here lives the Headmaster and family
and some boarding girls.
The campus is large and well laid OH
in beautiful walks. The boys have
yery good baseball diamond and they take
advantage of this opportunity to develop
the physical side Of their being. There
is very good tennis court on the campus
which will be much used as soon at the
weather permits. In every way the cam
pus Is well arranged for accommodating a
large number of boys at play and during
the recreation periods. No surface water
) is allowed them, but all drinking water is
obtained from good flowing we'll on the
campus. =.
The discipline of the schools kind but
firm, and every influence for good is
thrown around the students. This pur-
pose is kept in view: A full development
of the three-fold nature of the students
the physical, the mental, the moral and
sniritual. The students have Sunday
morning prayer meeting and song SER
vices, after which they must attend church
in the morning and sunday-school in the
afternoon. The boys have organized a
Young Mems Christian Association which
conducts devotional. meetings on Wednes'
day afternoons, and is proving very help
full in strengthening the lives of those
participating, making them stronger and
better men and giving them an invaluable
training in Christian work.
The Sheridan literary society meets on
Friday afternoons, and is conducted with
much credit and interest by the girl
students. The second assistant presides
at ali meetings. The Kilgo literary socle-
tv meets on Friday nights. The boys
tske a great deal of interest in its work,
and this department of the school
training is proving very beneficial to the
students. An occasional joint meeting OF
tbe two societies adds interest and makes
the I students most enthusiastic in their
work. =. .
