The ALBEr1ARLE SCHOOL.

Il
trial Institute. which was established
sixteen years ago, and is under the
control OF board of trustees elected
by the presbytery Of Mecklenburg.
combines many Of the attractive fea-
lures which enter into the formation
of a home school for girls. While
there are many schools for girls es-
tablshed in the State. it is a well
known fact that the majority OF them
are beyond the reach OF the poorer
classes.
When the low rates and high grade
Of instruction are taken into consld-
Grafton, il is perfectly evident that
this school affords to the poorer girls
of North Carolina exceptional faclll-
ties for an education.
The aim Of the institution is TO
prepare young women for the actual
duties Of life, for teaching in the
public schools, or for duties Of home.
Full recognition is given to the fact
that this is, above all, a christian
school, and its object is the develop
ment of christian character, The
Bible is a text book in every depart
ment."
During the coming term the study
of missions will receive due empha-
sis. In the school there are two de-
partments, the preparatory and nor
NAL. The preparatory ends with
tie tenth grade. The normal covers
three years.
The following compose the faculty:

cipal, Latin and English; Miss Obeira

Morrow, superintendent of domestic
department; Miss Nellie Hines, mu-
sic department; Miss Alice Atkinson,

NJ. +. Terrence, head Of inhrmary.
The president Of the institute, Rev.
Geo. II. Atkinson, is too well known
in North Carolina to need introduc-
ton or commentator. He is put
ting his very life into this school and
feels that the outlook is exceedingly
encouraging. He states that he is
now in position to fulfill a life pur-
pose, that of giving a strong helping
hand to worthy, aspiring, needy girls
of the Southland. lie is fortunate in
having secured the services Of such
a large, capable, enthusiastic and
self-denying faculty.
It may not be amiss to state that
Miss Terrence, head Of the infrmary,
has quite recently been head nurse
in the Presbyterian Hospital, Char
lotte. Her reputation for efficiency
and devotion to duty is we'll estab-
lished.
