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.

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

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.
