boarding, books, etc, is planned to be
less than So. 80 per week.
The Boarding Hall furnishes every
thing needed excepting personal toilet
articles and bed covering. Each stu

and pillow.
The School home-life is to be as
carefully guarded as that of any fami
ly home.
School Education is to be made as
practical and useful for each pupil as
can be DONE
Pupils cannot waste their time nor
fail to get the worth of the money
spent in their schooling.
Marion County parents can send
their children to the High School at
very near the same cost, and with as
much confidence and safety is if the
school were at their own door.

ing of the sixth. seventh and eighth
grades, under supervision of the High
School but taught by other teachers,
and at no expense whatever to the
High School, is provided for those who
are ungraded and who are insufficient
ly or irregularly prepared for the High
School, or whose home school is una
BILE to give them suitable preparation
for the proper work of the High
School, as allowed by the law creating
the High Schools of the State. Tu-
ition for these three preparatory grades
will be two dollars per month payable
in advance, and preparatory pupils
have the advantage of the Boarding
Hall as long as it does not interfere in
anyway with the interests of the High
School.
A Teachers Training Course is es-
pecially prepared out of the High
School work, intended to prepare
teachers for doing the most practical
educational work in Marion County,
as nothing can be more needed for the
progress of the county than well pre-
pared teachers
Agricultural Science and Household
Economy are two of the most needed
and specially practical studies requir-
ed for the health and prosperity of
Home Communities. These with man
ual training and specimen industries
essential to the interests of good liv-
ing and county progress. are to be pro-
NOTED as rapidly as they can be made
of sufficient practical benefit.
The High School course of study
shall not only thoroughly prepare each
student to enter college. but it is to be
made as practical and useful as posi-
BILE for the needs of every day life at
home and in the progressive work of
the country.
