a high plane. Added to this is high

unit, regardless of name.
The mingling of denominations in
multiplied union. together with stately
edifices make possible the largest sue
cess in educational and moral en-
deavor. Here we have an aggressive
faculty in collegiate work. working in
unison with the ministry for the gen.
eral uplift of the city, which builds for
us an unsurpassed moral and educa-
tional center.
The Mt. Sterling Collegiate Institute,
founded in 1906, is an ideal school for
the training of the boys and girls of
this section and is doing a creditable
work in that line. 1t is an accredited
school by the Pennsylvania University
and State University Of Lexington, KY
and the honor graduates are given free
scholarships in these institutions. The
fact that it is accredited, indicates
clearly the standing end work of the
school and gives to it's pupils eXcep-
tional advantages of importance and
worth.
It's location is ideal, overlooking the
entire city and commanding an impos-
ing view Of the surrounding Blue Grass
country, tinged with glimpse of the
picturesque hills of Eastern Kentucky
in the perspection. The building
erected in 1909 is a modern and well
equipped structure, comfortably and
conveniently arranged for school pur-
poses, and is lighted and heated
throughout by natural gas.
The grounds are beautiful, and cover
an area of charmingly adorned lawns,
shaded with giant trees and further
beautified with hedge, flower beds and
magnificent driveways, all of which
comprise three and one half acres, af-
fording the best natural drainage and
consequently every advantage for
health and pleasure. These grounds
are admirably adapted for healthful
recreation and out door amusements.

legiate Institute in this city the public
spirited and liberal citizenship of Mt
Sterling donated literally Of their own
means in the purchase of the present
grounds upon which the institute is
now permanently established.
The year Of 1909 was the first ses.
sion in the newly constructed home Of
the school, marking the close of the
fourth years history of this institution.
During that time the school has grown
rapidly. numbering 191 pupils on it's
roll and closing the school year of
1909-1910 with glorious record, sur.
passing previous records and exceed

Penmanship.

There can be no question in regard
to the Importance Of good handwriting.
No one is qualified to take a position
in an Office who cannot write a good,
rapid and legible hand. We teach this
subject in the most practical way. Our
students are taught the style Of pen
manship which is in demand by the
business world, a style which is
graceful in appearance and simple in
its outline, legible at a glance. and
rapidly written.
Thus it appears that Mt. Sterling,
the home of this Collegiate Institute
affords extraordinary advantages for
the educational uplift of the youths OF
Eastern and Central Kentucky. 1t not
only trains the mind and educates
judgment, but improves the health and
inspires the soud. It cultivates courte
sy and good breeding, and endows the
graduates with a high standard OF
manhood and womanhood, which in fu
ture years develops gentleness, truth
fulness, character, ability and a life
of general usefulness.

Mrs. Fiske has taken dominating
place as perhaps the most modern of
all our actresses.
She was called the American
Duse" when the noted Italian was just
building up her fame in this country,
and the title has steadily chung to her,
and deservedly.
Mrs Fiske got her first ideas of life
in the quiet convent. Perhaps she
couldn't have gone right on the stage
as an actress of the great modern
parts, as soon as she came into the
world again from the walls of her
place of retreat. 1t took some little
time, some getting into the current.
But the actress says that the contem-
| plative atmosphere of the convent is
the right place to get the ideas prop
erly fixed so that in mature contact
with any art problem 1t is possible to
follow the right ideas, first exerting
: the intellect to get the right concep-
ton. then following the direction to
which that conception points,
