It has nine teachers with degrees from the best colleges and universities in the country. These teachers have had successful ex perience, and will compare favorably with the teachers of any high school in the South. Laboratory and Library facilities are sufficient to meet the needs of instruction in the subjects offered. The spirit of the school is wholesome and intellectual. The buildings and sanitary conditions are satisfactory. We haye electric lights, water works with hot and cold water and sewerage. We offer all the advantages of the city and yet we are three miles in the country. We offer wholesome board at $12.00 per month; This includes furnished rooms, lights, feel, and laundry. An opportunity is offered deserving boys and girls to reduce this amount by work. Best pupils usually re duce their board from 25 per cent to fifty per cent. Board is given at cost and there is no effort made to make money on the pupils. Last year we enrolled one hundred and sixty-nine pupils. One hundred and nineteen were boys and fifty were girls. These represent twenty-four counties of this state, six different states, and one foreign country. In addition to having this large number in school, we turned away from forty to fifty for lack of room. Applications for rooms should be sent in early. The next session begins August 21, 1917.
