COLLEGE-CONSERVATORY FOR YOUNG LADIES
This institution is the successor of
the old Union Female College, which
was erected in 1855, and for fifty years
filled a useful place in Alabama and the
South. But the conditions have changed
and there is an educational revival which
demands improved facilities and better
methods.
1^ It is to meet this demand that the
• Alabama Brenau has come into existence.
The old building has been remodeled and a new building, which
more than doubles the capacity, has been erected.
Three years ago upon the invitation of citizens of Eufaula, Presidents
Van Hoose and Pearce, of Brenau College, Gainesville, Ga., undertook to
reorganize the faculty and to remodel tne entire school in accordance with
the plans and ideas which have made Brenau College one of the most
famous colleges for young women on the American Continent.
The growth of the institution since this time has been phenomenal. It
has been crowded with students from the opening day. At the end of the
first year, a magnificent building was erected, and during the second year
this building also was crowded. During the third year, Presidents Van
Hoose and Pearce purchased a large residence adjoining the college and
turned it into a dormitory and it, too, has been filled.
Prof. Thomas G. Wilkinson
On account of the remarkable growth of the school, Presidents Van
Hoose and Pearce have found it necessary to associate with themselves a
third educator, Prof. Thomas G. Wilkiason, who will reside permanently in
the college, and have the immediate supervision of all of its affairs.
Professor Wilkinson is an educator who has had most successful expe
rience as head of a boarding school in South Georgia, and more recently as
Superintendent of the Schools of Washington, Ga. He n a graduate of the
University of South Carolina, and has done post graduate work in the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Presidents Van Hoose end Pearce
These gentlemen will continue to exercise general supervision over the
school, ana as formerly will continue to spend a portion of each year in the
school. They are both educators of long and successful experience Pro
fessor Van Hoose is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and taught in
his alma mater soon after graduation. He also taught in Thomasville, Ga.,
and in the military school of Marion, Ala. Dr. Pearce is a graduate of Em
ory College, Ga., the University of Chicago, the University of Wurzburg,
Germany, and has done post graduate work at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes,
Paris, France. He was president of the Female College, in Columbus, Ga.,
before going to Brenau.
Professor Van Hoose and Dr. Pearce have been associate presidents of
Brenau for fifteen years, and have developed it from an obscure institution
to one of the largest and best known in the country. What they have done
at Gainesville they confidently expect to repeat at "Eufaula, and the success
of the past three yekrs foretells the realization of their hope.
Faculty
A well know* millionaire has said that the secret
©f his success has been the fact that he knew how
te get good men to help him. This is true of the
management of Brenau. Great care is exercised in
the selection of the faculty and it is this respeet
that superiority is claimed. Teachers are selected
upon merit alone, and they are retained only when
their service has been satisfactory and when it con
forms to the high standard which has Wen fixed as
the result of the fifteen years’ experience of the
management.
Music Department
The excellence of the Music Department has
always been a source of special pride. The Alabama Brenau confonas to
the high standard set in this particular by the parent institution.
Mr. Edward Scherubel, the director of this department, is an artist of
the first rank. He is not daly a fine concert pianist, b*t is also a teacher of
unusual ability, as is evidenced by the results achieved during the past year.
Brenau Ideals
There are several particulars in which Brenau is distinguished from
other institutions of a similar kind, which cannot be adequately explained in
a newspaper article. Among these may be mentioned the system of self
government, the unit system of credit, the recognition of Music, Art and
Oratory as electives for literary degrees, etc. Those who may be interested
are referred to the handsome catalogue which contains fuH information, and
is profusely illustrated. It will he sent free upon application.

Th* Causation and the Treatment of
the Disease.
A cataract is a dimming or de
creasing transparency of the chrys-
talline lens of the eye. This lens
serves to refract the rays of light.
It is composed of a soft material
inclosed in a transparent membrane
called the capsule.
The loss of transparency, which
causes the cataract, may reside in
the substance of the lens or in the
inclosing capsule, but most com
monly in the substance of the lens
itself. It may be what is called
idiopathic"—that is, due to no ap
parent cause—or “traumatic,” due
to direct injury. It may exist from
birth, but most commonly comes on
late in life, at or after the age of
6ixty years, and is caused by some
not yet well understood degener
ative change in the lens substance.
The usual term for this form is
“senile cataract,” although the
name is not well chosen; for often it
occurs in individuals otherwise vig
orous and giving no other manifest
signs of senility.
It sometimes occurs in those suf
fering from Bright’s disease or dia
betes, but more commonly afflicts
those who are otherwise seemingly
in perfect heakh and who present
no other signs of malnutrition.
Heredity seems sometimes to be
an active cause of the opacity of the
lens, but kow it acts is as great a
mystery as many other facts of the
hereditary transmission of personal
characteristics or of tendency to
disease. It may indeed be that
heredity has no part in the causa
tion of the disease, and its suc
cessive appearance in parent and
child may be a mere coincidence.
Both eyes are usually simultane
ously affected, although the disease
may occasionally be more advanced
in one eye than the other, and rare
ly one eye alone may he affected.
In the latter case, however, the cat- !
aract is more commonly due to acc-i- !
dent.
Operation for the relief of this i
condition is usuallv not undertaken ■
until the cataract is “ripe"—that is, i
until the loss of transparency affects j
the entire lens. A person with j
simple cataract is blind only so far
as the distinction of objects is c-on : i
cemed. but still retains the percep
tion of light. If the sufferer is un- ;
able to distinguish between light '
and darkness, there is some otheT j
disease present.
There are three kinds of opera
tion for the relief of cataract, but
this is nor the place to discuss their
relative merits. The choice will de
pend upon circumstances and must
be left to the decision of the sur
geon. A lair degree of vision n
usually obtained from operation.—
Even KCIvlos Notice” Is Made an Oc-
casiot ol Compliments.
Politeness distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids in Ja
pan. It is so inexorable in Japan that
even the ceremony of “giving notice”
Is turned into an occasion of compli
ments. There are r;c vulgar threats
or sulkings or recriminations or scold
ings or “answering back.'' A servant
will never tell her mistress that she

will turn up one day, express her
thanks for past kindnesses and regret?
at not returning in time, will take bet
arrears of wages and her bundles and
disappear forever. £o the matter ends
with the kindest semblance of feeling
on both sides.
If the mistress or. ter part does not
wish to have the girl hack, she will not
tell her so to her face, but will send
word. Even when servants come on
trial for a few days they often leav*
nominally to fetch their belongings ci

plaiBts” to make. Any discomfort i. ;

Noise ana the Nerves.
It was Schopenhauer who said that
insensibility to noise was the surest
indication of a low and undeveioijed
nervous organization, on which as
sumption it is certain that we as a
nation can hardly be reckoned very
far advanced. Certain it is that we
ar e move tolerant under this head than
any other nation professing to call it
self civilized, though I fancy the Amer
icans run us pretty close in this re
spect. Sir Arthur Sullivan was wont

is not too much to ask that the local
authorities shall put their heads to

powers which they possess. Bernard
Shaw once expressed the opinion that
It was the “state aided noises,” as he
