Carlisle Fitting School.

This institution, of which the citizens
of Bamberg are justly proud, will resume
work on Wednesday, the Goth of Septem-
Der. Mr.. b. G. Sheridan, the Head Mas
ter, has just returned from an extended
trip through several counties in interest
of boarding g students and reports most
flattering outlook for the coming session.
Many of the old students will return to
complete their preparation for college,
while others, not hoping to 60 to college,
will return to prepare themselves for the
duties Of life. Quite number of new stu
dents will be in attendance, seeking the
splendid advantages here offered.
The Carlisle Fitting School offers to
the young people of our town and other
communities the advantages Of college
training at very reasonable cost. Here
are afforded, in addition to the class-train-
ing under most excellent teachers, the
advantages of two well-equipped literary
societies and well selected library of the
best standard works of fiction, history,
biography, science and general literature.
Not only is the intellectual training ex-
cellent and thorough, but the spiritual
development of the students is the espec-
ial care of the faculty. This is right, for
the making of life is more important than
the making of a living. Train the mind
and make character and no one need
fear the ability to make living. 1t is
not more men that the world needs but it
is more man. Life has in it something
nobler, deeper, higher than than the
striving for merely material ends. Thus,
q cardinal purpose of the Carlisle Fitting
School is to so train the mind and heart
that there may be revealed to the world
the man in the farmer, the mechanic, the
physician, the preacher or the jurist.
The Carlisle Fitting School is not par
tial to young men bat her advantages and
excellent training are alike available for
our young women. No one denies the
paramount necessity of educating our
girls. In fact, it is woman's mission to
inspire in men conceptions of honor and
glory. Change the ideals of women and
you recreate those of men. Thus we EN-.
phasize the education of our girls.
Thus the Carlisle Fitting School OF Wof-
ford College is o-educational; it was so
planned by the citizens of Bamberg who
built the institution and as such merits

our city as well as the patronage OF com.
munities abroad. The faculty is strong
one. Mr.. Sheridan, the Head Master,
though yet a young man, has had sue
cessful experience of over twenty years
in the school.room. He is in charge of
the department of mathematics and
science. Mr.. J. G. Stabler, in charge of
Latin and Greek, is teacher Of several
years experience. He was the teacher Of
Latin in the Wofford Fitting School the
past session. Mr. W. D. Roberts, who is
in charge of the department of English
and history, has had the principalship of
a high school in our State. Both are
graduates of Wofford college and come to
US well endorsed. The department of
music and elocution is in charge Of Miss
Lena Walser, graduate and an expert
enced teacher of these arts. Miss Walser
the past year has studied in one of the
best known Conservatives in the South.
These are advantages, inferior to none
offered by other institutions of similar
kind. We trust that large number Of
our young people of the town of BAN.
berg will enter this school at its opening,
September 20, 1905.
