UNION BAPTIST INSTITUTE—A GOOD SCHOOL i " . I The Union Baptist Institute at ! Mt. Vernon, Ga., enjoys the dis tinction of being justly termed a big school with great possibilities. It should l>e the pride of not only Mt. Vernon an d Montgomery county but of the surrounding country as well. The Outlay and the Resnlts. This institution which stands as a fitting monument to the sacri fices and the strenuous efforts of the many noble men and women who, under God, have been its founders and supporters, repre sents an outlay now of perhaps upwards of fifty thousand dollars. Just what this school means for not only Mt. Vernon but for Montgomery county and the sur rounding country in bringing such exceptionally fine educational ad vantages right to our doors can not be estimated by any methods of calculation known to man. It jis true, however, that men will determine its usefulness If not one pupil should ever be enrolled in the future, and none ever had been enrolled in the past in this institution, then the enormous I outlay, the sacrifices, and the la bors of its great-hearted founders! would benefit no one; but if parents send their children then the school will surely accomplish its glorious mission in our midst, and the boys and girls who attend will be brought under lasting ob-j ligations for benefits received i here. ~~ Union Baptist Institute, School BuntiiNo, G. Aur ,g, Ai*, Architect, Mmon, Ga Its Past Record Encouraging. The institution, during its few years of existence, has made an enviable record. The enrollment tlm first term far surpassed the highest, expectations of even the most ardent friends. It soon be came evident that the school would be m a crowded condition, and then the work of providing j more room for students was taken j up. The teaching force, too,has been (growing. From tune to time a I new instructor lias been added till there are now quite a number of teachers, all chosen with spec ial reference to th<-ir capabilities for the special work for which they are employed. No school of ! its age can make a more credita ble.' display of instructors than the Union Baptist Institute. A Desirable School. There are many things that go to make the Union Baptist Insti tute a most desirable school to : patronize. It is impossible to i mention all the desirable features jin this article, but “a few straws j will show how the wind blows.” j A matter Llmt must always be taken into consideration in select ing a school is the matter of ex i pease. There is nothing tjiat strikes any one as being niggaidly in any sense of the word at tlie U. B. L. Yet economy, in haruio iny with good judgment and com mon sense, is practiced along all lines m away that puts the mat • ter of expense for board, tuition and incidentals down right—;tl ! most dirt cheap. The school will be found, upon ■ iovestigation, to adequately meet MT. YKRNOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUG so, ic)o8. the needs of farmers for a school in which agriculture is made one of t lie leading features. The home of tho U. B. 1., too, is a most excellent place .for a school. Alley and Mt. Vernon to gether have five churches, repre senting three different denomina tions. 'fhe membership of these churches is made up of the best people of this section, whose in llnenec is being felt in the im provement and development of this part of South Georgia. The children come into this school from tile cultured homes of (Imse enterprising citizens bringing » moral and religious influence that counts for much in the education of children. Then the moral and religious at mosphere pervading the selmol makes it. an excellent, place for a developing mind. There is really an education to be obtained by I just simply coining in frequent i I contact, with such great-smiled! .menus Dr. Brewton and his far- j ; ulty of capable teachers. 1 n the matter of health, too, nature seems to have made special arrangements for this most im portant requisite of a desirable! location for a school. The l 11. I. stands on a high point midway between Alley and Mt. Vernon j'lm where the drainage is perfect. There need never occur a case of i illness among tbe students from j local causes. The ciii'iculum of the school (embraces such a wide range as to ! take the little beginners and car ;ry them on through the common •school, grammar school and high school courses, and prepare them for sophomore class in any of our colleges. So this school supplies ,a long-felt need for a school of ! just such grad' right at our doors, putting the cost ho low that any | who really want to educate their iohildr* n can do so. An I ducniional Gold Mine. Welt! That’s putting it pretty {strong, lsn’fit? Yet. that is just what lie- Union Baptist Institute | means t.o the children, tlie young men apd young ladies whose hnp- I py lot it will lie to attend this in jstitution. The young people of today who are fortunate enough to receive sufficient instruct ton in j tins or any other such institution jof learning are the ones in the fu ture who, as the burdens of life are laid upon them, will outstrip their less fortunate associates who will never be blest with such golden opportunities for prepara tion for life's duties, j This brings the importance of the matter of education home to every parent, interns ted in the fu jtureof the children whom they loVe. I Ins institution wins lu tended lo be operated along such lines as to co-operate w it h parents in doing tlie best things possible for tlie boys and girls of our sec t ion. The UpcnliiK of ihc I all Term is approaching and the time to make up your mind as to what school you will patronize next term, is here. It may be that yon have not been think'iig of send ing your children away from home to school because v'li fear the mat.ter of expenses, or something else of the kind. To ali who have children to educate I would most earnestly suggest that you either call on or write Dr. .). C. Brewton, Mt. Vernon, Ga., and let him give vmt definite facts and figures that will help you in planning for edu cating your children. It may mean a, great <Ral to your elnl dren. Dr. Brewton is interested in the education of our boys and girls, and the school—the Union Baptist Institute—which lie has founded, opens wide its doors and ext ends a cord ia I welcome to all to come and receive instruction. Every parent owes it to his children to give them the best ed ucational advantages possible,and ns a debt ol gnu it tide for what tin* noble founders of this school have done in bringing right at nun i doors such excupi iona 11 y fine ed- I , tmuf.ional advantages parents ' should do everything possible to i make this great instil utioo a glo rious success ami a blessing to t heir ehildren.
