THE PRESBYTERIJ
SCHOOLS AN
STATESVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee
of the trustees of Statesville
Female "College on June 13th the sum
of one thousand dollars was provided
by the liberality of two gentlemen
present, for the purpose of completing
the stuccoing of the new building and
of painting the roof of all the college
buildings, and of remodelling a number
of the dormitories.
This gift is very encouraging as
showing the liberal interest of the
friends of the college. These improvements
will be made at once.
At the end of the summer the canvass
ordered by Concord Presbytery
will be made to raise $10,000 and pay
off the entire debt of the College.
With the improvements of the College
completed and the debt paid off,
this institution will be in excellent condition
for doing successfully its great
educational work.

SILLIXAN COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
For young ladies issues Its Register
for 1911-12 and Announcements for
1912-13 in exceptionally handsome
form. The stately buildings and handsome
grounds lend themselves easily
to many attractive illustrations. The
Institute has just completed its sixtieth
year, and in numbers and work it has
been the best in its history. The
faculty, under Rev. H. H. Brownlee,
numbers eleven. The student roll of
the paBt year bears ninety-five names.
From personal knowledge we can Bay
this essentially is a home school, where
the girls are surrounded with everything
sweet and beautiful, and while
they are acquiring mental training and
accomplishments of the highest order,
the Institute is under the direction and
control of the Presbytery of Louisiana.
It is the only Presbyterian institution
in the State. It is located at Clinton,
in the hill country, elevated and beau

endowment which helps the management
to keep the Institute's facilities
up and its charges down.

MOUNTAIN WORK OF KN0XY1LLE
PRESBYTERY.
The Southern Presbyterian Church in
Knoxvllle has a department called the
Mountain Work.
This includes some of the mountain
counties of the Presbytery. There is
a great mountain in 'this region which
a uuu Uivux UU1 LU W OVUIU.
(Living in this mountainous region is
a people of Scotch Irish ancestry, with
bright minds and quick to. learn. These
mountain boys and girls are diamonds
in the rough. They have not had the
advantages of education, property or
culture. The difficulty of reaching
them is one of having been placed by
themselves. They have been shut up
in the mountains and consequently
passed by in the march of progress.
Great numbers of them are ignorant,
due to insufficient public school teachers,
poor school house? and inaccessihHlifv

ignorance and Isolation.
To reach these poor, but worthy
mountain people is an important question.
If our church could plaoe a consecrated
Christian teacher in every
isolated camnrunity, we would solve
the problem.
We should locate schools whorever
it 4s possible. Knoxville Presbytery
has four schools located in Polk county,
six teachers, 221 scholars, property
valued at $1,900.
The Mountain Committee supports in
full three of theBe schools in the year,
with an expenditure of about $400.
The Mountain Committee assists in
the support of the other one at Conasauga.
We are endeavoring to put
these schools on a basis to do more
efficient work, and to secure a better
equipment.
The Presbyterian, church in Knoxvllle
(Presbytery has, therefore, more
than 215 brave mountain boys and girls
who are being trained for future usefulness
in the church and state.
No more promising work in the
church than this.
A list of schools is given below:
Appalachia, 2 teachers. We have a
domestic science department, 10 scholars;
1 teacher literary department, 30
scholars. We have built there recently
a nice little chuch and school house,
valued at $900. Mr. H. C. Bondurant,
an older in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, Knoxville, Tenn., very
generously contributed the money for
the erection of the building at Appalachia.
Conasauga, 2 teachers, 65 scholars.
wetmore, 1 teacher, 71 scholars.
Farner, 1 teacher, 55 scholars. A
church and school house Is needed at
Farner. Mr. Jas. M. Shearer donated a
lot, and we have some material on the
ground. Seven or eight hundred dollars
are needed at once to erect house.
When completed the property there will
be worth $1,000.
The workers are: Miss 'Mattle Porter,
Mies FJ11 za Hyter, Miss Floy Robinson,
Miss Ida Hood, Miss Mary H.
Brown, Miss Lula Young and Miss
Susan D. Diokson.

The need and the opportunity are
both great in the mountain field.
Anyone wishing to contribute funds
for the building at Farner may send
money to Mr. R. S. Hazen, treasurer

FREDERICKSBURG COLLEGE.
The Baccalaureate sermon of the
Fredericksburg College was preached
by the Rev. James Y. Fair, D. D., in the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning,
June 2nd. Dr. Fair preached again at
the evening service. Both discourses
were of a very high order of excellence,
the morning sermon being on the significance
of human life and fitting the
occasion most appropriately.

of the College was made by
the Rev. F. T. MoFaden, D. D., pastor
of the First church, Richmond, and
was uncommonly timely and forcible.
All the commencement exercises of
the College were unusually interesting
and impressive. Thirteen members of
the Senior Class received the degree of
A. B., and there was one graduate in
the school of music and others received
certificates. The valedictorian of the
class was Mr. William Lee Howell, who
took the first honor. Mr. James E.
Bear, who carried off the debater's
medal and divided second honor with
Mr. W. 8. Scott, was chosen salutatorlan
of the class. He is a candidate
for the mdndstry, and "Mr. Howell will
a.mo prooaoiy enter xne ministry. mibb
Rita Izard received the magazine
medal and also that In violin. Miss
SalHe Carter won the piano medal and
Miss "Elolze Tanner that In expression.
The President's Scholarship was
awarded to Mr. N. B. Adams, and the
Armstrong Scholarship for the best
student In the Home and School to Miss
Frances. Howell. The resignation of
Mr. S. W. Somervllle, as president of
the College and superintendent of the
Home and School was the occasion of
the deepest regret, and the great lore
and confidence In which he Is held by
the faculty and student body of the
College and the mothers and children
of the Home and -School called for
many eloquent and tender expressions
at this commencement. The faculty and
students presented him with an e*"
traordlnarlly beautiful loving cup. and
the alumni of the Home and School
expressed their affectionate apprecla
fcion in the presentation of a gold
watchfob of very handsome design.
The best tribute to Mr. Somervflle's
work here for the past sixteen years is
the high esteem and confidence in
which he is held by the faculty sod
entire student body of the College.
members of the Home and School. and
the citizens of the town.
As ordered by the Bristol Assembly,
the College has been separated from the
Home and School, and will henceforth
be run as a separate institution under
nrivate management and control.
