MARION INSTITUTE
 IS AMERICAN ET0N
Famous Marion School Has Had Continuous Exist
 ence Since 1842

With patronage that has been drawn from 25 states and two foreign countries. the Marion institute has become known north and south alike as the American Eton.
 The educational foundation for boys at Marion has had a continuous existence since 1S42.
 The administration of educational work upon this foundation has been practically continuous since 1871, when Col J. T. Murfee was called to the presidency of Howard college. Upon the removal of Howard college to East Lake in 1887, al- though offered the presidency of Howard college on it's new site, he remained at Marion and founded the institute. He served as its superintendent from 1887 to 1906, when he was retired upon an annuity from the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching on account of Tong and distinguished service to the cause of education in Alabama" He was succeeded by his son, Dr. H. O. Murfee, who was previously instructor in nnathe- matics at the University of Virginia and fellow in physics at the University of Chicago and research assistant to Prof. Az A. Nicholson. Dr. H. O. Murfee has been associated with the institute since he left the University of Chicago in 1900, and he has planned for It's enlargement In 1900 also Mir. w. L. Murfee, the younger son of Colonel Murfee, who had just grad uated from the University of Virginia with the degree of master of arts, also came to Marion to assist in the work.

.ST. BERNARD OFFERS
 MANY ATTRACTIONS
Catholic School Near Gull man Has Been Filled to Ga
 pacity For Two Years

One of the educational institutions of the state that is steadily moving forward and upward is St. Bernard college, near Cullman, Ala. The number of students has been increasing each year, and the past two years has seen it filled to it's capacity.
 With the new addition, containing up to-date toilet rooms, bath rooms and lavatories. opened to the students in Sep tember, St. Bernard will be wanting in nothing in the way of sanitary equip ment Expense has not been spared along these lines.
 The new gymnasium will be ready for the fall term. The size of this building Q6o feet by 60 feet) will give ample room for all indoor recreation. Father Jerome, O. S. B., is devoting a great deal of time to getting the gymnasium equip ment in proper shape.
 St. Bernard college is Catholic in- stitution of higher learning. Its course of instruction embraces the following: college course embracing philosophical, scientific, classical and literary studies. designed for students who have finished the academic work, or who have grad uated from the high school course; an academic department, offering courses in classical and modern languages, history.

There is to be found here all the quiet ness of the country with all the advan- tages of the city The healthfulness of the location cannot be surpassed.
 The trustees are planning the erection of a magnificent building at an early date. In fact it is hoped that work on this $i000o0 building will be begun before the first of next January. Rev. J. B. Cumming, the financial agent of the col lege, is hard at work raising funds for this very purpose. It is the intention of those in authority that this institution shall become one of the leading schools of the south.
 The trustees believe there Is no better location any where than they have here, and ask why send your boys off to dis tant state when they can get just as good right in their own state, where they ex- pect to live.
 The courses leading to the degrees of bachelor of arts and bachelor of science are as high as can be found in any school. A young man graduating with either of these degrees will be admitted to any of the universities without examination, for the masters course.
 Connected with the college and under the control of it's own faculty is a high grade preparatory school, where boys are fitted for college entrance. Thorough work Is done here with special reference to the college course.
 An excellent boarding department pro- vides college home for the student away from home. This department is under the supervision of the president of the college and every effort is made to make as good home life for the students as possible

CASTLE HEIGHTS
 STERLING SCHOOL
Interesting to Watch Pro- cess of Developing Boys
 Into Real Men

Ii Is an inspiring thing to visit school by which boys are developed into men, in actual operation. A school of this sort is in fact a splendidly equipped factory where the raw material comes in the form of youngsters of 12 to 15 years, bringing with them all the natural ec- centricities of youth. The various pro- cesses are then set to work, every depart ment contributing its part to the final re- suit.
 There is, first, the scholastic depart ment, naturally placed first by the school authorities, but not entirely dominating the work of any other. The boy is taught this man-making institution. There is the athletic department where the boys are trained in the various branches of outdoor ana indoor sports, for which they have a special aptitude The same instructors who work with the boys in the classroom follow them on the athletic field and there give intelligent direction to their out of door sports. In this way the raw material with which we have to deal, this plastic mass of boy hood as it were, passes from one depart ment to the other, but the work of all is sc co-ordinated that there is continuity of individual influence on the part of the masters extending throughout all the school activities.
 The spiritual and moral side is not for gotten; in fact, the work of this depart ment of the school leaves it's impress per haps more decidedly on the boy than does the work of any other. The boy is taught to do right because it Is right. He is taught a reverence for things to be rev. cred and his privileges are limited only iwthin reason, or as his own individual conduct may make unusual restraint necessary
 As the writer watched these boys en- toying the opportunities of this unusual school he thought what splendid thing it was to have every hour of the day of a growing boys life supervised in kind ly, sympathetic, intelligent way by Chris tian men like Head Master Rice and his able assistants, whose whole object Is to turn out the boy better fitted for his lifes work.
 And when the finished product-the boy who graduates from Castle Heghts-goes home to his parents, mentally alert, phy scally made over and spiritually awak- ened 1t is with pride that the father may look on his boy and say That is my son."

18th year September 16. 1914 The pros poets for a good year at this time. are very flattering. Thel asst year was, per- haps, all things considered. the best year in the history of the school. The en- rollment was larger than it has been at any time since the curriculum was raised to it's present high standard. The faculty is composed of high grade teachers who do excellent work. There is no better place for a young man to obtain a good classical education than at this school. Attention is given to each individual stu dent and no pains are spared to let him have every opportunity to do his best. The development of the mind and the making of character are the aims striven after at this institution.
 The college is located on "a high hill overlooking the city of Birmingham.

Fox Hunting Near London's Heart

Y ToiH the lsonuOn Globe.
 There has been some excitement over the capture of a couple of foxes at South gate, seven miles from Cha1ing Cross. but these animals occasionally make their appearance much nearer the heart of London.
 Three years ago, the Manchester Cou- rier recalls. fox was shared on Peck ham Rye, just within the four-mile ra- dius, and about the sametime another was chased over the fields in Dulwich and managed to escape its pursuers.
 One early morning ins January, 1886, a fox was espied running down Upper Baker street from the direction of Re- gents park. A number of men and boys pursued 1t, and a constable on duty at Baker street station joined in the chase. Eventually the animal was driven into one of the long, narrow gardens in tha Marylehone road and there killed.
 Even more extraordinary was capture made some years back, when a coach- man, walking along Aberdeen Place, Maida ale, observed an otter trotting along close to the wall. It was overtaken and killed and proved to be a young anil maj of very moderate dimensions It must have come up the Regents canal, which runs closely, and being unwilling to keep to the water through the tunnel. tried to follow It's course above ground

 The location of St. Bernard college is ideal. It is situated in the mountainous section of northern Alabama on the main line of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road. The entire section Is noted for itt healthfulness. The city of Cullman Is IF miles west of St. Bernard college, and affords the college the advantages of the city, while being far enough removed to give no distractions to students.
 The campus of St. Bernard college is very extensive, and affords all neces- sary requirements for outdoor exercise.
