MADISON INSTITUTE
For Young Ladies.
Don't One Look the Best!

Located in Richmond, Madison
county, on one of the most beaui-
full and healthful spots in the great
Commonwealth of Kentucky, is Madi-
son Institute, a school founded in
1856. and, with slight interruption
during the Civil War, it has been in
operation ever since. 1t has contrib
uted its quota to the educated wives
and mothers of our country, and now
in the second generation, with greatly
increased facilities, is doing better
work for their daughters.
The Institute is situated upon a hill
overlooking the city, and a more beau
tiful location for a school could not be
found. The grounds consist of ten
acres, well divided into lawns, tennis
courts and gardens. These advantages
of space and location place the mini
mum of restriction upon the students.
While within a few minutes walk of
the churches and business part of the
city, the Institute has all the privacy
unknown in the school, and there has
never been a case of fever during the
fifty-three years of it's existence, a
record which cannot be excelled by
any girls school in the United States.
The buildings are large and COM
modious. The rooms occupied by the
students are all outside rooms, and
the sun has free access into all of
them. The house is supplied with
hot and cold water, bath rooms and
closets, and is lighted throughout with
electricity and heated with hot water.
The recitation rooms are entirely
above ground, well lighted and well
ventilated.
Richmond, the home of Madison In
stitute, is one of the healthiest little
cities in Kentucky, among a people
noted for their morality, refinement
and culture.
The aim of the Faculty is to give to
the pupils entrusted to their care
nothing short of the best, and no eff
fort is spared to train them along all
lines. The dullest pupils may be sure
of sympathy and assistance where it
is most needed, while the bright.
promising ones are given every OBJ
portunity to make the most of their
talents.
The pupils are constantly urged to
be gracious, cordial and natural. and
to bear in mind the department which
is always required of a well-bred
woman. Everything womanly is en-
couraged and emphasized, and every
thing that is loud, masculine and pc
dantic is discouraged.
Special attention is given to the
conduct Of the boarding pupils, that
they may be credit to the school as
well as to their parents.
The discipline is firm but kind and
rules are made only as the necessity
demands. it being the policy and pleas
ure of the Faculty to instill into the
minds and hearts of the pupils a
school pride which will be an incen-
tive to each one to do her best under
all circumstances.
Pupils are chaperoned to and from
the churches of their parents choice,
shopping, calling, to and from trains.
and to and from all entertainments,
and no pupil will be retained who is
found out of harmony with the spirit
and requirements of the school.
Inc course of study includes the
Primary intermediate and Collegiate
departments, and graduates are pre-
pared and qualified to enter the large
Eastern colleges. Pupils of any school
age may enter the Institute and be as
signed to the departments to which
they belong.
In an article of this nature it is DOS
slDle TO touch but lightly upon the
merits and advantages of Madison In
sIltute. we were proud of it fifty
three years ago. and we were never
more proud of it than we are TODAY
for we honestly believe that no educa.
tional institution throughout the
length and breadth of the country is
better qualified to train the minds and
bodies of our girls-whether thew be
little girls or young women. into
paths that lead to usefulness and re-
spect and to the upbuilding of noble
women.
