It is really cheaper to send a Ooy or girl to this school than to keep them at home for excellent board and room are se
 cured at the dormitories for S17.75 per month of four weeks and in most places this cannot be done at home. Here. too, are ideal surroundgings, magnificent buildings and beautiful grounds. Books and incidental ex- penses are eonservatively estimated at amounting to not more than $50 year, so that attendance at this Scho can be obtained for not over S2E0 q year.
