SOUTHWESTERN PRESBYTERIAN
UNIVERSITY.
The enrollment of students at South
ncoiciu rieauymnnn university, which
opened September 15, has been running
about ten ahead of last session, when
the enrollment was the largest for many
years. The preparation of the new
students seems to be in advance of that
in recent years. The proportion of old
students returning is larger than usual,
the total having already exceeded that
of last session. The number of students
in the theological classes is the same as
last session. The boarding halls have
every place filled, and many are finding
rooms in town.
ALBEMARLE NORMAL AND COLLEGIATE
INSTITUTE.
Albemarle, North Carolina.
The fifteenth session of this splendid
institution began Tuesday, September
14. The attendance is the largest in the
-history of the school. All the students
could not be accommodated in the boarding
department. The writer knows of
no school in our Southland that has so
much self-denial and sacrifice bound up
with its history as this. From the beOr

a labor of love on the part of Miss
Prances E. Ufford, the founder, and
others, notably Miss Helen J. Northrup.
Putting Into this work their labors and
prayers, sustained by no salary, relying
wholly upon God, these faithful servants
have the unspeakable joy of seeing their
efforts crowned with success. Many
lives have been trained for God and sent
out to be a blessing. Two large buildings,
one a frame and the other brick,
on a lofty eminence, beautififl for sltua.
tion, overlooking the city of Albemarle,
is the home of this school. But the
.present equipment is not sufficient to
accommodate all who wish to enter.
More room is needed.
This is pre-eminently a school for the
poor man's daughter. Twenty-eight
cents per day, or eight dollars per
month, is the maximum charge to any
one. If the student is not able to pay
this amount, then twenty dollars only is
charged for the entire year's course, including
tuition, board, lights and fuel.
Rev. George H. Atkinson, the presl
dent, since assuming charge in January
last, has been untiring in his labors, and
the splendid opening this year is due in
large measure to the zeal he has put
into this work.
It is needless to say th'at this school is
Christian to the core, and Mecklenburg
Presbytery has reason to be proud of Its
possession and should give it the best
support possible.

The beautiful and healthful location of
Port Gibson makes it one of the most
desirable residential sections in the
South, and the fact that it has a future

efficient, active, consecrated president
and its splendid corps of instructors, has

bids fair to become an arm of power to

to make men, and its supreme need is
the loyal patronage and the moral and
financial support of all Presbyterians.

essential and necessary agencies for the
preservation and. propagation of the
Christian faith. Forsake or surrender
these, and the efforts put forth in evangelization
are a dead lift.
