LOCATION.
The school is located in the centre
of the beautiful and fertile valley of
Head of Tennessee, surrounded
by tbe most magnificent mountain
scenery, and in a section unsurpassed
I for pure air, wholesome water and
I healthtufuess. The country is far
preferable to tow n for a -chool of this
kind, affordiug fewer causes of diver
sion from study, and less temptation
to extravagance and dissipation. The
morality of the eommun ty compares
favorably with any in the mountains,
and is constantly improving.

the high appreciation with which the
