ATLANTA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC Combines With Art Ideal Modern Business Principles Right down in the middle of a city growing <o fas: in music one can -ee the results from month to month, the Atlanta <’onset \ t or.- of Musa was set several years ago. and. in the oft-repeated words of y.ir Roorvelt. it has ■’stayed pul.” Mme than that, it has taken firm root. ,md rtou:i=hed so con spicuously that it is regarded even in it- youth as a w*ll - < ■-r.. b >.-hed institu t ion. The eont’ast in one respect is interesting between this and Cos College and Conservatory. both schools under the «ante man igement. but •a* h serv ing its individidtial purpose A PRETTY CONTRAST. Cox College enters this fall on its seventieth year, but it has grown with growing educational ideals. It started out as a progressive educational fat t for women’s coliegts were tare seventy years ago. and il ha- advanced as the education of women advanced, constantly raising its cutTuuium. str* ngthening its facufly and increasing its material advantages. Atlanta Conservatory, on the contrary, will be only five yens old in Sep tember. but it was born in the full panoply of power, with a complete equipment to start w ith, and a faculty magnetic enough in ability experience and reputation to balance the lure of musical study in <h<- East and abroad Advance advertising had a student body in waiting tor the opening of the institution, and evet since that time the Conservatory has been a liv. fac tor in the student and musical life of the South A MODERN BUILDING. The building was erected especially sot the Conservatory and so Is d* sign ed to fulfill the exact needs of th.- institution Besides its studios, it has a recital hall with a capacity of «<uj which is so well planned for musi, that it has become one of the nm.-t sought-after musical centers in the city Its big pipe organ is an important asset in teaching anti it selves a valuable putpose also in fern ty as v.i i. <s pupils r eeitals CONCERT ARTISTS IN FACULTY.

Atlanta’s growing recognition as a music-loving city is bringing and will bring an increasing number of world-wfd. concert celebrities here, and th. conservatorv pupils usually have rhe advantage of student prices. Ih< the iter- are at hand, and every intelligent advantage the modern city has to offer CONSERVATORY ATMOSPHERE. The typical ‘atmosphere" of th»>conservatory life i- thus engendered by th* constant study and hearing of th* best music under th*' best direction and by its greatest exponents; but it is not incongruous with the most sub stantial musical achievement that the city "atmosphere," down in he mid-' of Which the <'Observatory is set. is surcharged with ambition, tireless en deavor and th*- spirit of achievement. THE A’l I.AM’A GKOHCI \X, SATI liDAY. *H LY 6. VH2 The education of the girls of the South—that, after all. is the paramoun educational concern. The young women are assured of opportunity if tin y wjl take it. And the three big requisites for the ideal college for girls are met will striking completeness right here in Atlanta. Or, more precisely speaking, jus outside of Atlanta, this little correction giving incidentally one of the ad vantages of the ideal college—namely, proximity to the city, with the midi tional provision of suburban heaithfulness. t’ox College and Conservatory is, of course, the institution implied. Its beautiful location at College Park, together with a faculty representa tive of the world’s most noted institutions of learning, from which thr si teachers hold degrees: and a material equipment in many respects the lines in the South; these points make a triangle of advantage outlining an institu tion which stands for real achievement in the interests of the womanhood o the South. A SCHOOL THAT DOES THINGS. Pupils that "do things”—they are the kind Cox College is fostering, an< the college itself may be similarly classified. There, study is active as well as receptive. In other words, the girls are required not only to take in informatior but to give out results. Tlte Conservatory, for instance, gives the student training under the b< s teachers in the country, and a hearing of every concert or operatic advan tage afforded by neighboring Atlanta. But the student must do something herself besides learn what she i taught. Twenty-five recitals were given during the past year by the stu dents, and the quality of these performance, as well as the character of 1 h musical features of commencement, were a very significant Illustration of tin value of a certificate or a diploma from this well known institution. THE COLLEGE FACULTY. A strong faculty is so essentia! to the success of a college that it i; rather superfluous, in view of the success of Cox College, to dwell on the fac et the adequacy and ability of the men and women who form the facult’ there. Trie teachers added for th*- coming year are of a scholastic standing to augment still further the college record of achievement and heighten it quality of work. Their degrees are from the most celebrated universities, an* they are bringing new enthusiasm into the college life. THE CONSERVATORY IDEAL Strength reinforced by strength is the meaning of tire education the con servatory affords. First, there are excellent teachers, brought here because they are th* best in their several lines, and cultured exponents of music as a whole. But. besides this advantage, the value of all of them is merged fol th* benefit of the student. The latter specializes, it is true, but she is requirer to round out her studies with work in harmony theory musical history, en semble, and even normal work to se< ur< for her a well balanced and practi* a knowledge of music. The student who works with a private teacher has not this advantag* The conservatory gives it, and provides at the same time the incentive t< excel, the inspiration of association with others engaged in the same work and th* musical atmosphere which is part of the ideal conservatory life WHERE TOWN AND COUNTRY MEET. Finally , there is health in abundance, and no sk knees. The site is wel chosen, the e’evation good, the neighborhood healthful and the campus exten sive and beautiful. Yet it is not an hour's ride from th*- Auditorium in Atlanta, the theater.* where lire world's great artists are heard from time to tim*. and the At lanta Conservatory of Music, which is merged under th*- same managemeni with t’ox and exchanges faculties. The Soul Ir’s . rjsical renaissance Is at hand. The proofs lie not only ir het grow ing demand for artis-tic rliv* rsion. but in th* rising standards in quired of her schocis and < oriser vatorles, which she demands with the ultima, turn of sending her girls abroad for their education.
