Charities"

THAT woman who dubbed concealing stands and curtains charities" gave them a wonderfully apt name. for they do certainly cover multitude of sins"-usually in the form of dresses.
 Cretonnes and the rest of the pretty, inexpensive upholstery stuffs make most of the curtains, usually finished with a casing to run over small brass rod.
 The stands are often built to hide from view radiators during the months when artificial heat is anything but desirable. Sometimes they take the form of shal- low tables; as often they are surmount- ed by shelf or two, where your favor ite books and workbasket may be con- Yeniently kept.

emIe Degrees, as well as broad courses in the Fine Arts. The Faculty is coTi- posed of more than thirty specialists who have been trained Tn the ablest Universities and all of them are pro- fesslonal educators of experience, The same faculty which has sor years so satisfactorily filled the different chairs, will return the coming session. There have been two or three notable addi- tions to the teaching force which will greatly strengthen the present strong faculty. It is the policy of the trus- tees to increase the number of teachers in proportion to the number of students so that notwithstanding the very large number in attendance each student re- ceives careful. individual attention.
 In the development of Elocution as in others. the Judson has attained a reputation unsurpassed by any Southern institution. Of the lady who is to be in charge neyt session one of the most eminent efocutionists if America says: She Is the best equip ped lady for this work with whom am acquainted. The work in this de- pertinent is done according to the best modern stanard. The objects sought are. first: the fitting of voice and body as media for the expression of thought; second. full comprehen- sion of the thought to be expressed. The muscles are taught to yield obe- dlence to the mind. and the voice. which depends greatly on the fiexlbili- ty, strength and control of the mus cles. is trained to respond to every thought.
 Board of Trustees.
 The Judson Is under the direction of Board of Trustees composed of dis tinguished laymen and ministers Of the Baptist Church. The members of the Board of Trustees are:
 B. F. Ellis, President, Orrville; T. T. Daughdrill, Secretary and Treasurer, Marion; J. W. Bailey, Pleasant Hill; w. A Davis, Anniston. Rev. A. J. DielSin- ton, D. D., Birmingham; D. T. Hey.

 Popular President Patrick.
 It would be pleasant to speak of the administration of each of these gem lold words in Baptist families through out the South, but I must not. Each of them did the part he was able in conducting the fortunes of Judson through the years, and 1t was task of which any man might be proud.
 Most Alabama Baptists know in person by now the deservedly. popular gentleman who for ten years has been lego. Dr. Robert G Patrick Is na- tive of South Carolina and both he and Mrs Patrick, nee Miss Hellen Man distinguished in Baptist educational circles. After his college days at Fur man University in the native State and theological training in the Louisville Seminary, he was for five years pastor al Yorkville, South Carolina, and for three years in Maysville, Kentucky.
 From Maysvllle he came to the pas tOrAtG or the HlBLDTAC IhuNCi 1N AAeli aOh Alabama, and on the death of President S. w Averett. was pressed into the responsible leadership of Judson until a successor should be chosen. pr. Pat riek's pastoral career had been nota- bly, successful and he had no wish to give 1t up. But the trustees of the in Rtitution soon became strongly con vinced that he was the man Tor the place, and succeeded in prevailing upon him to do so.
 Unparalleled Growth.
 That was ten years ago. Ihe grown of the institution under his tacttul leadership for the ten years has not been short of marvellous If it has been duplicated in the Irogrsss of any woman's college we have failed 10 pc informed of it.
 Ten years ago there was S2S.000 debt; now there is none. Then there were 101 students; now 800 Then the 'n- come was $15,000; now $70,000; Then there was property worth SI5.OO0' now S15O,O00. Then a three-year course of study led to graduation; now 1t takes five years
 In other words, within the ten years of the administration of Dr. Patrick, the college has multiplied itself by at least three as vehicle for fashioning cultured Christian women. Judson large annual bevy of fair graduates is the contribution of Alabama Bap- tists to the cultured womanhood of the

 The Art Department.
 The management of the Judson has received most enthusiastic congratula- tions upon securing the services or Miss Laura I. Bacon as head of the Art Department for the next session. The Judson has made an enviable repu- tation in Department of Painting ana Drawing, and we confidently be- lieve that Miss Bacon, who has had the best training of this country and under the great masters abroad. will not only maintain the excellent record of the mast. but will bring the department 10 even greater degree of efficiency. In this department we have had for the past two years the assistance Of the eminent lecturer on Art. Prof. John Quincy Adams. who has spent many years of his life in special study or Art not only in It's relation to paint | ing, but as a culture study A Lyceum Course especially arrang- l ed for the students of Judson. each

The future holds greater promise than even the accomplishments of the 0ast.
 The Home Feature.
 The home Reature is one of the most charming things about the famous Judson and it's social, moral and reli- Eious training are beyond all praise.
 The general health and cheerfulness of the pupils is the best testimony 10 the excellence of that system of man agement which. while imposing neces- sary restrictions. permits every indul- gence and amusement not inconsistent with health and good order. Upon en- terinR the school they become members of the Presidents family. Under his supervision the care of their domestic life is placed in the hands of the Gov erness, whose part Is to look after their manners and habits, and to promote their faithfulness in the performance of duty, tand to maintain motherlv oversight of all their interests. We try to secure for them the advantages of well ordered Christian home. Teachers and pupils sit at the same table, worship at the same altar. and mingie in the same social circle.
 Visitors to the Judson say 1t Is the busiest place they have ever seen. Honest sympathetic work is required, and no girl who does not care to fall in line with this regulation can be very happy at the College. but 1t is generally remarked by those familiar with the social life within these classic walls that no girs ever had a happier time away from home. Every facility for innocent pleasure Is offered. Tennis courts. bowling alleys. splendid gym nasium, etc. give pleasure and bring health and physical development to tho pupils. No serious case of sickness has occurred in many years.

WRITE-UP OF HUDSON COLLEGE
By Victor l. Masters in the Baptist Press.

Time was in the memory of some yet living when the education of wo- man was considered minor matter, but the time has passed, and perhaps there is in our time no better proof than this of the real progress of so-
 Within a generation educational ideals have grown much. In the education Of women 1t has been from training in the graces and accomplishments merely to a real cultivation of the individual including the intellectual and physical as well as the aesthetic. There are colleges for women the curricula of which require intellectual exercises equal to those required at the better schools provide much study in music and art which is seldom even attempt ed at the institutions for men.
 The secular education of man means an individual with trained powers, without regard to whether they shall be used selfishly or unselhshly. The Christian education of a man means an individual with powers trained in an atmosphere saturated with the Idea that service, not self, Is the end of achievement. The Christian education of a woman not only gives to society an individual thus trained, but through her influence over her children devel- ops in the coming generation the high
 Christian education for women Is 2 which the Gospel of Christ has put into society, and Is one of the most blessed social potentialities of our day.
 The training of all the powers to the highest efficiency that they may be unseifshiy consecrated to the service of society,-that Is the Ideal of every Christian college.
 A Historical Glimpse.
 Statistics before me show that two wears ago there were in the United States twenty-four Baptist colleges en- gaged exclusively in the education of women. Twenty-two of these are in the South Judsen College at Marion, Alabama, Is the oldest of all the Bap- tist Institutions for the education of women. and older than all woman schools, with perhaps two or three ex- ceptions It began work In 1SS9 and issued It's first diploma in 1s4l, fac simile of which Is found on this page
 The outlines of the history of this perhaps most representative college Tor women In the South are familiar to many, and yet some Testatement or them is desirable. In 1888 General Ed \ win D King of Marion met in Tus- caloosa the Rev. Milo r. Jewett Of Vermont. MT Jewett had been teacher and a lawyer in parts of his career and had warm and lntelllgeh' i interest in educational matters MT King soon enlisted that genueman's in- terest in behalf of school Tor girls al Marion. and Judson opened in 1853.

Art and music are recognized and approved factors in the true educa- tion of refined young womanhood. The two are held in high esteem at Judson and due tribute is paid them.
 They are olden accomplishments. but grace and beauty are no less fair in one generation than in another. The two are somehow associated fin the modern mind with feminine culture. If our present age is anything, 1t is utilitarian. But 1t has :,ot become so utifitarian as to desert the old ideal that the refined and Ene educated wo- man should, whatever else she knew, knew something of music and of art.
 Tn an age when it Is held that every thing must have some practical use. allegiance Is paid at Judson to the culthral value of art and of music, two of the greatest universalizing forces of all ages.
 The catalogue of Judson bears this quotation from Horace Scudder:
 There is one thing survives all the changes that comes over mems modes of thought. and that is art"

One does not know where to stop in describing a large educational lnstitu- ton. He can wrte to fill almost any required space. Each school of this class is a little republic in Itself. It brings together from various States hundreds of individuals who. beside tho ends which they pursue each for himself combine in ltmitless ways into organizations, formal or potential, until the sum total is an intricate and far reaching composite, out of which each gets what Is adapted to his needs and capacities for himself while all labor to become the most effective personal ities possible, that they may serve so- ciety best.
