and Building for the Training OF
Boys and Girls.
The Orangehurg correspondent OF
the State says Orangeburg is one OF
the few cities in THIS State that
have within their borders a high
class school for the higher education
of boys and girls. The Orangeburg
. Collegiate institute received its
character in 1895, two years after
it was established. This school is
the outcome of d long-felt want for
a high-grade boarding school in, the
middle of the State! The funders
believed that there was demand IN
this paprt of the State for a Chris
tian school that would offer to both
young men and women training
that would be both broad and thor
ough. This belief still controls the
policy of the institution, and the
past session has been by far the most
prosperous and satisfactory In the
history OF the school.
It would be hard to find corps
of teachers who would take keen
er personal interest in the pupils OF
the school than the faculty at the
O. C. 1. It has often been remark
ed that the school was more like one
big family. The pupils feel that
the teachers are their personal
friends and everything possible is
done to make the school as home
like for the pupils as possible.
The institution owns beautiful
campus of several acres, situated on
south Brouhton street. The campus
is graced by FIVE splendid buildings
consisting of Ashley hall, the Annex,
Mc-Iichael hall, boys dormitory and
the music building.
The religious influences or the
school are such as tend to the de-
velopment of a true and high type
of character. There are both Y.
w. C. A. and Y. M. G.. A. besides
other religious services.
The government of the institu-
ton is superb. The girls are in
charge of lady principal, who at all
times has their supervision and care
and who knows their every need and
regards their interests The young
men are in charge of wise and
skillful commandant, who exercises
over them firm but Kind and cou-
siderate discipline.
The military fellure is introduced
at this school anc the tommandcnt
for the ensuing yea, is Mr.. Olin NJ
Clark, an honor graduate of Clem-
son, who was also major of the first
battalion.

the Euphonian for young men and
the Ergonian for young ladies.

Prof. Harold A. Loring, the new

deal Of successful experience as
teacher, and as concert pianist.

Miss Marie D. Seabrook takes the
place of Miss Douglass, who has
served the school so faithfully for
the past four years. Miss Seabrook

much time in New York studying.
She has magnificent voice, and

the Georgia Normal and Industrial

vocal teacher at Due West Female
college at Due West. In addition
to her work as vocal teacher she
will teach violin. With these two
