The Location

No better location for a school
boy could be found than the city
oil Greenwood. The city is noted
for its healthfulness. 1t is remark
ably free from communicating infu-
enres. 1t has never licensed the
sale Of intoxicants, and the laws
are enforced. 1t has many large
churches and able preachers. 1t
has eminent physicians and special
lists. 1t has unsurpassed railroad
connections. The people are noted
for their high moral, social and
spiritual tone, and they possess en-
terprise and enthusiasm for high
|, ideals that are contagious.
' The expenses are moderate.
We invite your consideration of
the merits of the school.
The enrolment during the session
just closed was 1872 cadets, the
largest in the history of the institu-
ton. Fifty-one others who were
late in forwarding their applications
were unable to be entered, and were
compelled to go elsewhere.
If you contemplate patronizing
the Bailey Military Instjtate, it is
important that application be made
at as early date as practicable.
The twenty-fourth session will be-
gin September oath.
The handsome illustrated cata-
logue will be mailed to any one owho
is interested.

every cadets health, disposition,
character. tendencies, and then ap-
ply the methods that will develop
him along the most desirable lines.
The development of the student is
followed throughout his course in
the Institute. He is trained and
taught as son in an environment
that is conducive to the most desir-
able results, and free from distract
ing and neutra1izing influences.
The Superintendent, his family,
two other members of the Faculty
and their families, and five unmar
ried professors live in the dcrni-
tories.
We endeavor to place around the
cadets the maximum amount of
home-like influences.
The school is selected, the cadets
being limited to the number that
may receive individually the care of
the Faculty and officers.
Education has been defined as:
"A debt due from parent to child"
Of course you intend to pay this
debt. The only point that is worry
ing you is the medium to be used.
Let us advise you here, for we have
loved and taught and trained many
boys. You want your boy to grow
into a strong, manly man, a man
trained to overcome obstacles, and
to make the most of the talents en-
trusted to him. We know this to
be your wish; and we have devel-
oped system of training that, un-
der normal conditions, guarantees
the fulflment of your desire. This
system has as its foundation the
military system in use at West
Point. On this foundation has been
erected, by means of many years
experience with Southern boys, a
system which makes for success in

A MILITARY INSTITUTION
with the experience and prestige OF
twenty-three years.
The Institute has splendid new
brick buildings with modern equip
ment-equal, if rot superior, to any
boys school in the South-includ-
ing steam heat, improved electric
lights, ample toilet facilities and
shower baths and hot and cold run
ming water in every room. The To-
cation is beautiful, being an elevated
tract of ten acres just Inside the
city limits and overlooking tie city

campus and drill grounds are ex-
ceptionally fine and we'll adapted to
the uses of the school.
The arrangement of the buildings,

Of the work are the outgrowth OF
years of successful experience of
the management.
The constant aim has been the
health, comfort, training, and In
struction of boys and young men.
The school produces manly men
physically, mentally, morally, and
spiritually. We believe that the
best product of the most advanced
civilization is an educated Chris
tian gentleman.
The personnel of the Faulty de-

There must be strong, manly, Chris

The Military Dept

The military feature is invaluable
in the training of boys. 1t teaches
readiness, promptness, obedience,
self-control. 1t induces erectness
of body, correct carriage, neatness,
self-respeet. This is its object, and
not militarism.
The Military Department Of the
school is conducted as nearly as
possible after the methods in use at
West Point, without partaking of
their more rigid ana unsympathetic
features. There are daily drills,
frequent inspections, parades, and
all duties and ceremonies that go to
make up the routine work of mill
tary post.
During the whole of the year the
quarters of the cadets are under
special and frequent inspection
each day, and there is weekly a full
dress inspection, at which time both
the quarters of the cadets and the
cadets themselves are carefully in
spected by tie Commandant, Maj.
w. D. Workman. At the frequent
formations each day the clothing,
shoes, etc., of the cadets are in
spected, so that it is next to impos-
sible for a cadet to present other
than & neat personal appearance.

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Has Been Active In Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis is one of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed In
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia. A movement Is on foot for a
national organization in China and In
a number of cities local work has
been started. While no accurate fig
ures are available, those who are in
position to know claim that consump-
ton takes annually from 100000 to
100000 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate is fully as high.
and on account of caste distinctions
and native superstitions, the problem
of prevention and treatment is pecu-
liarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially In
the control of tuberculosis, and is
cooperating with two well-organiZed
private associations. The death rate,
while very high, is lower than in
China and India Under the direction
of the United States public health
service a movement for the preven-
ton of tuberculosis in the Philippines
has also been organized.
