We wish to call attention to the
fact that all departments of the
school will open this year. Some
people have been led to believe by
| the first folders sent out that only
two departments will be in force
Particularly the mathematics of the
engineering courses will be taught
from the opening of the school, and
as soon as students are ready for the
practical work, the apparatus and
machinery will be put in.
The school opens September q
Teachers are to be added as the
number of students so increase as to
demand it. Prof. Hardy, a gradu-
ate of the Oakland Polytechnic Col
lege, will have charge of the book
keeping courses and the accounts of
the school, and Miss Grace Steven
son is at the head of the department
of stenography. Either at the open
ing of school or little later strong
methods teacher will be employed as
as colleague of w. T. Van Scoy in the
normal department.
Although the best time to enter
school is at the beginning of the
year, yet students may enroll any
month of the year The school is
open the year round.
A peculiar style of fine school fur
niture is being made in the east for
this school, and the same will reach
Ashland by freight about August IS.
The building to be used for the
first year is the Vendome. 1t has
been overhauled, cleaned, painted in
side, and the rooms enlarged. More
changes will be made before the
opening of school. Rooms on the
third floor will be rented to boys at
reasonable rates.
A sign will be in position in doy
or two. Look for the building with
the big signboard and opposite the
new library building.
Let every citizen be a committee
of one, either tossecure scholarship
or student before August 10, by
which date we must round up the
100 for the school. Many hands
make light work. Be not satisfied
until you have some part in the
work of founding this school which
will be blessing to the rising gem
Grafton of this section for all time
