have building of this character,
where home-like place is provided
made comfortable and happy. The
dormitory is under the able manage.
ment of Mrs. C. V. Roberts. This in
itself bespeaks well for its success.
Mrs. Roberts is woman of great
capability, intelligent and thoroughly
up to date. who will give the girls
under her charge the care they would
receive at home and will look after
their personal wants to the best of
her ability. She will be ably as
sisted by Mrs. Presley and Miss
Moss, teachers of the Ocala public
school, who will act as preceptresses
in the absence of Mrs. Roberts. The
rooms are comfortable and large, and
the rates are most reasonable. The
location is healthful and in a good
neighborhood, just far enough from
town so that students will not be un-
der its immediate influence, yet close
enough to enjoy all its conveniences
