HISTORICAL.

"^HK Institute beg-an its career in a rented
building- in the Fall of '89, under the name
of Decatur Fbmalk Seminary. Its fac-
ulty consisted of two teachers in the Liter-
ary Department, one Music teacher, and a 'teacher
for Art and Physical Culture. By the close of the
first session it had enlisted the interest and won the
confidence of the community. In the Spring- of 1890
Colonel Georg-e W. Scott, one of the prime movers
in starting- the institution, g-enerously proposed to
the Board of Trustees to provide a suitable perma-
nent home for the school. His liberal offer having
been g-ratefully accepted, he purchased a beautiful
site, erected the present eleg-ant brick building-, fur-
nished and equipped it in the best manner at a total
cost of over $112,000, and at its dedication, Novem-
ber 12, 1891, presented to the Board of Trustees a
deed of g-ift covering- the entire property. The only
two conditions of this g-reat g-ift were readily accept-
ed hj the Board of Trustees, and were as follows:

1. "The institution shall be perpetually known as
the Ag-nes Scott Institute. I desire it to bear this
title in memory of my deceased mother, to whose
prayers and faithful training- I owe much.

2. "The property shall be used perpetually as a
female school of learning-."

From the time the school entered its new home,

Hgnes Seott IFnstttute,

it's growth has been marked and most gratifying- in
every direction, until now it has a faculty of seven-
teen, an enrolment of two hundred and thirty, and
is, year after year, offering finer advantages and
doing better work.

OBJECT.

Its great object from the very first has heen^ The
glory of God in the higher Christian Education of
young -women. The founders of the institution be-
lieved that God in His Word had assigned to woman
a sphere and given to her a work of inexpressible
importance to the welfare of church and state.
They also believed that to fit woman for the great-
est efficiency in her God-given sphere and work she
needed the very best education an education which
should carefully guard and promote her physical
development; which should give thorough mental
training and furnishing; which should give that re-
finement and those accomplishments which adorn
womanhood; and which, above all^ should form and
develop the highest type of character.

HOW IT IS PROPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH
THIS OBJECT:

1. By having a liberal curriculum.

2. By making the Bible Course a fart of the curric-
ulum. It is confidently believed that the Bible is
essential to the higher education, and indispensable
to the formation and development of the highest
type of character.

3. By offering optional Courses of study. Recog-
nizing the fact that minds, tastes and future plans
differ, the Institute offers four different Courses,
Literary, Scientific, Classical and Normal.

Ugms Scott ITnstitute,

4. By having the best teachers. The Board of Trus-
tees have endeavored to secure teachers who possess
the hig-hest qualifications for teaching-; who have
had a successful experience in their profession; who
possess the hig-hest type of character; who are in
full sympathy with the objects and plans of the
school, and who will do all they can m and out of
the class room to insure the largest success of the
institution.

5. By ?naintaming a high standard of scholarship.
The Institute endeavors to do honest, thoroug-h
work. No student will be promoted from one class
to another, much less graduated, who does not come
up to the prescribed standard.

6. By making the Institute a delightful Christian
home, and filling- it with refining-, elevating- and ed-
ifying- influences.

While the above are the means by which the au-
thorities of the Institute seek to accomplish the
g-reat objects they have in view, yet the fact is dis-
tinctly recog-nized that after all they are only means,
and that success must come from God. As in the
past, so in the future, they will earnestly plan and
labor in humble reliance upon Him.

[For a certificate in this school, all of the work is
required ; for graduation^ the work of the Freshman,
Sophomore and Junior years, and any one of the
subjects in the Senior year.]

The aim of the Kng-lish course is two-fold, viz. : To
train pupils to write, not only in a correct manner,
but also in a clear, impressive manner ; and to create
in them a desire to read what is best in literature.

To gain the desired result in the former, pupils
are taug-ht the principles that g-overn clear and cor-
rect writing, and are frequently called upon to put
these principles into practice, a number of essays
upon given subjects, weekly one-or-two-pag-e
themes, and frequent other exercises being- required.
As the first step toward g-aining- the object of the
Literature course, the student is required to study
carefully the works of such authors as will interest
and g-ive insig-ht into the times of which they are
representative. These masterpieces are carefully
and fully discussed in class. As a second step toward
this object, at the end of each session a course of
instructive and pleasant reading, outside of regular
class work, is assigned to each class, to be reported
upon by the end of the following session.

Believing that no Knglish course is well rounded
without some knowledge of the history of the lan-
guage, and of Anglo-Saxon, these subjects have
been introduced into the course.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCES.

Miss Magee.

First Tear. Geology (LeConte) and Mitieralog-y.

Mineralog-y is taught without text-books, with a
view to cultivating a habit of thinking and work-
ing, by bringing the pupil in contact with facts
by personal observation. Thus a subject, usually
considered very technical, is made simple and prac-
tical, and any pupil of the collegiate department is
admitted to these exercises without regard to previ-
ous scientific qualifications.

Second Tear. Zoology (Nicholson); and Botany
(Campbell).

Third Tear. Physics (Gage's Principles of).

Fourth Tear. Chemistry (Williams); and Astron-
omy (Young).

It is the aim of this department to teach with
clearness and accuracy both theories and facts. To
this end a suitable laboratory has been fitted up,
affording apparatus sufficient to illustrate all the
various principles of mechanics, physics and optics.

A good three-inch telescope is in use for astro-
nomical observation, and White's Physiological
Manikin for the study of Physiology.

The subjects of !^oology and Botany are taught
upon a strictly laboratory basis, the laboratory
studies being as far inductive in their character as
is possible with the average student. Continuous
and systematic observation leading to individual
researches will be required of every student in the
department. To this end the laboratory has been
furnished with excellent compound microscopes,

Course of irnstruction.

togetlier with other valuable apparatus for dissect-
ing-, sectioning- and staining. Throug-h the kind-
ness and g-enerosity of Mr. N. P. Pratt, Dr. D. A.
Schumate, Geo. W. Scott, and others, a mineral-
og-ical cabinet of over 300 choice specimens has been
recently added to the department, making- it possi-
ble to carry on very thoroug-h work in dynamical
and structural g-eolog-y. The text-books used are
selected with the view of g-iving- all so-called new
topics full share of attention.

SCHOOL OP THE BIBLE.
Dr. Gaines.

This is a three years' course, two hours a week.
It forms a necessary part of the g-raduate courses.

Objects.

1. To g-ive a clear knowledg-e of Biblical History.
The facts of this history not only form the basis of
our relig-ion, but have determined the history of the
race, and especially of Christendom.

2. To g-ive in some measure an adequate view of
the value of the Bible. While the Bible is theoreti-
cally considered the g-reatest book in existence, yet
comparatively few have a true appreciation of this
claim.

3. To teach how to study the Bible. Much Bible
reading- and even Bible study is unsatisfactory for
the lack of the best method of study.

How the Course is Taught.

1. The Bible itself is the main text book ; other
books are used only as g-uides or helps.

Course ot IFnstruction.

2. The Bible is tdiUghi systematically, i. e. accord-
ing- to a flan. The plan used is to divide each
Testament into periods according- to the epoch in
the history, and to study these periods in order.

3. The Bible is taug"ht analytically. Bach period
is carefully analyzed and the material orderly
arrang-ed. Then, as time permits, books and chap-
ters are analyzed.

4. The Bible is taug-ht in the light of Biblical
Geography. The location of an event not only
makes it more real and helps to fix it in the mind,
but often enables us to understand it. The latest
Biblical Geog-raphy and the best wall maps are used.

5. The Bible is always taught as the inspired
word of God.

The course is arrang-ed as follows :

First Tear. Creation to the Kingdom ; Bible
Course : Outlines and Notes, Gaines ; Manual of
Biblical Geography, Hurlbut ; Manual of Bible
History, Blaikie.

Second Tear. Old Testament completed ; Sylla-
bus of Old Testament History, Price ; Hurlbut and
Blaikie continued.

Third Tear. New Testament ; Bible Course :
Outlines and Notes, Gaines; Harmony of the Gospel,
Broadus; Hurlbut and Blaikie continued; Evidences
of Christianity, Alexander.

Each student should be supplied with a good copy
of the Revised Version.

All students who do not take the regular Bible
course are required to recite one lesson a week either
in The Story of The Bible (Foster), Studies in the
Four Gospels (Hurlbut), or Blaikie's Bible History.

Course ot ITnstruction.

HISTORY.

Miss Massie.

In this department effort is made to arouse in the
pupil enthusiasm and love for the study of History,
and to teach the best methods of pursuing- it, not
only for its own sake, but also as an essential to the
intellig-ent pursuit of other branches. The course
for the first two years is carried on by means of
recitations, topical work both written and oral
maps, chronolog-ical tables and outlines. In the
third year, in addition to the above, parallel read-
ing- is assig-ned and essays required at intervals.

A reading--room, well supplied with the best
periodicals, enables the pupils to prepare them-
selves for a weekly discussion of topics of the day
and matters of g-eneral information.

FRENCH.

Miss Massie.

First Tear. Le Frangais Pratique, Bercy.

In this the elements of French g-rammer are
studied, its principles being- illustrated from easy
prose readings. Almost daily memorizing- is
required as a means of acquiring a good pronuncia-
tion and as an aid to conversation.

Second Tear. The more difficult principles of
French Grammer are studied in this class, exercises
are written and idioms are carefully considered.

Reading of college plays, Dandet's Contes, Dicta-
tion, memorizing and conversation.

Third Tear. Macmillan's Third Year in French.
The History of French Literature.

Kxcrcises in prose composition, dictation, letter-
writing and conversation : The first half-year the
classical drama is studied, the rest of the year
is given to the nineteenth century writers. Aside
from the reading done in the class-room, private
parellel reading is required. Throughout the
course French is used as far as practicable as the
medium of instruction.

GERMAN.
Miss Sheppard.

First 7''ear. Deutsche Grammatik, Joynes-Meiss-
ner ; Studien und Plaudereien, 1st Series ; Bilder-
buch ohne Bilder ; Im 2vwielicht, Part I ; Con-
versation, with written Kxercises ; Exercises

sation and written Exercises ; Selections memorized.

Third Tear. Deutsche Grammatik ; Spanhoofd,
Maria Stuart or Jung-frau von Orleans ; Herman
and Dorothea ; Wilhelm Tell ; Iphig-enie ; Poems
memorized.

The explanation of class directions in German is
given during- the first few lessons of the study, and
the lang-uag-e is itself used in giving" instruction.
This is more and more exclusively done as the
vocabulary of the pupils increases. Chief attention
is paid the first year to reading the language with
ease and to acquiring a knowledge of the idiom.
Declension and conjugation forms are memorized.

The second year the aim is mostly translation
and composition. Declension and conjugation forms
are reviewed, and model sentences, embodying dif-
ficult grammatical constructions, are memorized.
While committing vocabularies is not depended
upon entirely in securing command of the lan-
guage, it is used to the extent of learning the vo-
cabularies in the grammar.

The reading of the third year is combined with a
critical study of the language and its literature.

A Conversation Club has been formed, into which
it is designed to introduce readings, recitations,
music and dramatic performances.

Throughout the course sight translation is a
prominent feature, and the material read in class
is made the basis of conversation.

SCHOOL OF LATIN.
Miss Field.

Special attention is g-iven to the study of forms,
case-relations and the uses of the subjunctive mood,
and, in addition to these, the characteristics of
style in different authors, and the dependence of
the Kng-lish lang-uag-e upon the Latin are carefully
noted. Frequent written exercises are required, in
which Eng-lish sentences are translated into Latin,
and Latin into Kng-lish in the application of prin-
ciples explained. Latin composition occupies a
prominent place in class work, as it is considered
an indispensable aid in gaining a thorough mastery
of the language.

In the more advanced classes, a portion of the
time will be devoted to the study of Roman litera-
ture. In order to enrich the course and widen the
student's acquaintance with the best of ancient
writers, selections from translations of the works
of Latin authors, which are not included among
those read in the original, will be given for study.
Books of references, treating of the contempora-
neous literature and history of each author are sup-
plied in the library of the Institute, and these are
used under the direction of the teacher of this de-
partment.

NORMAL COURSE.

Teaching- is rapidly becoming- a profession for
which special training* and technical knowledg-e are
demanded. All parts of the country are seeking
teachers of a much hig-her standard of qualification
than ever before. Kvery thinking" person must
acknowledge that this demand for thoroughly
trained aud equipped teachers is reasonable and
right. It is dif&cnlt to conceive of a more import-
ant and responsible work than that of training the
rising generation. To prepare those who are to en-
gage in this work is the object of this Institute in
arranging a Normal Course. It is confidently be-
lieved, after comparison, that the Normal Course
offered in this institution, is fully equal to any
offered in the South. Besides there are special ad-
vantages of very great value offered here. The
Bible Course, the Course in Philosophy and the re-
ligious features of this institution, will constitute a
most important part of the training. And what more
desirable qualifications for a teacher who is to have
large influence in forming the character and shap-
ing the destiny of our children than these: Chris-
tian character, Biblical training, thorough ground-
ing in the Evidences of Christianity; a sound sys-
tem of Ethics ? In addition to the Normal Course
as outlined in the table of "Courses of Study," the
Normal students will have the opportunity of at-
tending the different classes of the Institute for the
study of methods, and also of visiting, from time
to time, the city schools of Atlanta. Besides the
Institute Library there will be found here a care-
fully selected Pedagogical Library. The regular
class-room instruction and Study of Methods will
be supplemented by lectures by some of the most
distinguished educators of the county.

of decorative painting.

Pastel and photo-crayon also taught.

A sufficient knowledge of drawing will be re-
quired before entering upon the study of these
branches.

Instruction in free-hand drawing is given to the
pupils in the Primary Department without extra
charge; also to all other students for one hour a
week during one term.

Eiaminations.

EXAMINATIONS.

In addition to frequent reviews, two general ex-
aminations are held each year.

While these examinations are thorough and com-
prehensive, they are not of such length as to be
irksome and injurious.

The final grade and promotion of the pupil is
determined from the record of daily recitations and
examinations, and thus the student is stimulated to
thorough preparation for the class-room, and also
to a permanent acquisition of knowledge.

A grade mark or percentage of at least 80 in each
class must be obtained to pass a pupil from a lower
to a higher class.

REPORTS.

A permanent record of attendance, deportment,
and class standing is kept, from which reports are
made and sent to parents and guardians quarterly.

"THE BLUE LIST.'*

For the information of parents and friends of
pupils, there is distributed on Commencement Day
"The Blue List."

This list is in the nature of a "roll of honor,"
and contains the names of all pupils who have ob-
tained an average mark of 80 or more on their year's
work in their respective classes, and are conse-
quently passed to the higher classes.

Those pupils whose average is above 90 are dis-
tinguished^ and their names are printed on "The

) 1 ^ ^ >

Bxaminattons* ; /;,, V./^ '^

Blue List" with numbers preceding", which indicate
the order of their class standing, and they also re-
ceive certificates of distinction; the others are placed
in alphabetical order.

The "Blue List" also contains the names of all
graduates, medalists, etc.

THE LAURA CANDLER MEDAL.

This medal is given by Mrs. Nellie S. Candler,
and is awarded to the student of the Junior or
Senior Class who makes the highest average for the
year in Mathematics, provided the average is above
ninety.

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS.

Certificates of Distinction are given to those pupils
whose yearly average is 90 per cent or more.

Certificates of Proficiency are given to those pupils
who complete satisfactorily the course of study pre-
scribed in any school.

DIPLOMAS.

A pupil who completes satisfactorily any one of
the four courses of study, viz : Literary, Classical,
Scientific, or Normal, receives a diploma with the
title Graduate.

GENERAL INFORMATION.

Location.

The Institute is located so nearly upon the crest
of a commanding" ridge that the rain from one side
of the roof, following- the natural water shed, finds
its destination in the Gulf of Mexico, and from the
other flows onward to the Atlantic.

The elevation of the main building- is approxi-
mately 1,050 feet above sea level, and from its cen-
tral tower may be seen the peaks of the North
Georg-ia mountains and those of the Blue Ridg-e.

The climate is bracing-, the drainage naturally
perfect, and the water, the purest freestone, is un-
contaminated by sewerag-e.

Decatur is six miles northeast of Atlanta, imme-
diately on the Georgia Railroad. It is also con-
nected with the city by two electric lines with 20
and 30 minute schedules.

Its accessibility and nearness to the city of At-
lanta, with its system ot railways reaching every
portion of the South Atlantic States, places the
Institute within convenient reach of every section.

The situation of Decatur, sheltered from the cold
winds of the more northerly section by the Blue
Ridge range of mountains, and yet at an altitude
far beyond the malarial lowlands of the South At-
lantic and Gulf States, gives to the Institute many
of the pleasant and beneficial effects of a delightful
health resort. Persons residing in South Georgia,
Florida, South Alabama, Mississippi and other Gulf
States, will find here an atmosphere invigorating
and bracing, but not severe; while others resident
in more northerly sections will escape the severities

(General ITntormatton.

of a rig-orous winter climate without encountering
malarial or enervating" influences.

The town has excellent teleg-raphic, telephonic,
postal and express facilities.

Presbyterian, Methodist, and Baptist churches
have regular services and resident pastors. There
are also weekly services at the Episcopal chapel.

The Donald Fraser High School for boys, a pre-
paratory school of high grade and superior manage-
ment, is located here.

The society is educated and refined, and charac-
terized by an unusually high moral tone. The
founders of this school believe its location to be an
ideal one.

Buildings.

The Main Building, completed and occupied for
the first time in the fall of 1891, is a massive edi-
fice, simple in architecture, yet not lacking in im~
pressiveness.

It is constructed of brick, granite and marble; is
one hundred and ninety-four feet long, fifty-four
feet wide, and four stories high exclusive of base-
ment. The engine room, electric light plant, laun-
dry, and kitchen are apart from the main building.

The entire building is heated and ventilated by
the indirect steam method, and lighted by elec-
tricity.

Chapel, parlors, of&ce, and class rooms occupy the
first floor; the sleeping apartments, accommodating
two to four pupils each, the second and third floors of
the building. All of these rooms are thoroughly
ventilated by outside windows and over 500 feet of
wide halls.

The chambers are unusuall}^ large and arranged

(Beneral irnformatton.

so as to admit abundant sunlig-ht, and in their con-
struction especial attention was given to securing"
perfect ventilation. The furniture and appoint-
ments are home-like and comfortable, and the build-
ing- is carpeted throughout. While luxury has not
been studied, every convenience necessary for health
and comfort has been supplied. In this respect
few homes in the country are more complete.

The school of music and the art studio occupy the
entire fourth floor.

Kach floor is supplied with water, bath and toilet
rooms, electric bells, and ample hose and fire
buckets. The buildings and grounds are abundantly
supplied with pure freestone water from a large
spring near the Institute, from which the water is
pumped into a cistern, and thence into a large tank
in the tower, and from this distributed through the
buildings and grounds. Drinking water is supplied
from an excellent well in the grounds.

A watchman is on duty all night, and his numerous
stations throughout the building and around prem-
ises are registered by an electric watchman's clock.

The Institute Home.

Every effort is made to give the Institute the char-
acter of a Christian home. Teachers and pupils con-
stitute one household. Care is taken to render the
home life of the student not only attractive, but con-
ducive to the cultivation of those graces of character
which mark refined women. Only such restrictions
are thrown around the pupils as are considered im-
portant for their health, safety, and improvement.
Importance is attached to the cultivation of that
considerate regard for the wishes and feelings of
others which leads to courteous deportment.

General Ifnformation.

A student who persists in disobedience or disre-
spect, or even neglect of duty, and who is evidently
g-aining- no good herself and hindering others, is
not permitted to remain in the Institute. Pupils
are not allowed to leave the grounds without per-
mission, or unaccompanied by a teacher. Fre-
quently during the school year instruction in
manners and etiquette is given by the Principal.

The rooms of the Institute are carpeted and com-
fortably furnished, and are thoroughly warmed and
ventilated. The occupants of each room are re-
quired to keep it in order, and all rooms are daily
inspected.

The rooms are never crowded ; they are con-
structed for two, three, and a few for four occu-
pants, and in no instance will they be crowded
beyond their capacity for health and comfort.

Rooms are assigned in the order of application for
entrance.

The Intendant of the Infirmary is in special
charge of the two dormitory floors. She will at all
times rigidly inspect the rooms of the pupils and
see that they are neatly and properly kept in order,
reporting any dereliction to the Principal.

Outfit.

Each boarding pupil must furnish two pair of
sheets, two pair of pillow cases, six table napkins,
napkin ring, six towels, two laundry bags, gossa-
mer, umbrella, and a pair of rubber shoes. The
pillow cases should be 35 by 22 inches.

All articles, including trunks, must be plainly
and durably marked with the name of the owner.
Failure to comply with this requirement causes con-
fusion and loss.

It is urged upon parents not to burden their

General Untormation*

daughters with the care of valuable jewelry or an
expensive wardrobe. Bach outfit should contain
besides school dresses, one street suit, and wraps of
lig-ht and heavy weight. A simple evening" dress,
hig-h-necked and long-sleeved will be found con-
venient, but not necessary. Pupils will not he per-
mitted to wear low-necked dresses.

Health and Physical Training.

In pursuing a course of study, good health is of
the highest importance. There is in this institu-
tion a close and intelligent supervision over the
health of the boarding pupils. The best medical
advice is secured, and a competent nurse provided.
All the conditions of proper sanitation are care-
fully observed. The Institute has a superior system
of sewerage, and an abundant supply of the purest
water. From basement to attic much care is exer-
cised to maintain cleanliness and healthf ulness.

A suite of rooms, including bed room, sitting room
and nurse's room, in a retired section of the build-
ing on the second floor, has been set aside and is
used exclusively as an infirmary. The infirmary is
in charge of the Intendant, who is in constant at-
tendance in cases of sickness.

Dr. Hunter P. Cooper, the Institute physician, is
in telephonic communication, visits the school peri-
odically, and in case of illness is summoned
promptly.

Parents are urged to communicate freely with the
Principal concerning the physical condition of their
daughters at the time of their entrance. State
whether your daughters have any special weakness,
or tendency to disease, or idiosyncrasies of constitu-
tion.

General 1[ntormatiom

The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously
assure parents that, in cases of illness, their
daughters will receive prompt and skillful medical
attention, faithful and tender nursing-, and in every
case of serious illness they will be promptly advised.

Physical Culture.

The Trustees, appreciating- the importance of
physical exercise and training- as conducive alike to
health and g-race of carriag-e, have provided a reg-u-
lar and systematic course in physical culture.

The Institute Gymnasium contains the best ap-
paratus, including- Horizontal and Vaulting Bars,
Horse, Flying--rings, Chest-weig-hts, Clubs, Wands,
Dumb-bells, Ring-s, Hoops, etc.

All of the work is under the supervision of a
competent teacher, and the g-reatest care is taken
that no one overtax her streng-th. All students,
unless excused by the proper authority, are ex-
pected to exercise daily in the g-ymnasium for
which no extra charg-e is made. When the weather
permits, exercise out of doors is frequently substi-
tuted for work in the gymnasium. Two tennis
courts and a croquet ground furnish opportunity
for healthful and bracing out-door games.

Kach pupil is expected to supply herself with a
suit of blue flannel blouse and divided skirt and
gymnasium shoes.

The Physical Culture suit can be obtained in
Decatur at a total cost of about three and a half
dollars for material and making.

Library and. Reading Room.

The library now contains about 1,000 volumes,
selected with care and with a view to the needs of

General 1[ntormation

pupils. It includes works of history, standard fic-
tion, biography, travels, essays, and treatises upon
literature, the classics, Bibical and miscellaneous
topics. The Sunday-school library has been selected
with extreme care, and is much read by the pupils.

It is the intention of the Trustees to add such
reference books as will keep the departments fully
abreast with the advancement made in the different
lines of study.

The Reading- Room is supplied with a large
selection of choice perodicals, and receives regularly
the following magazines and papers, to-wit :

Harper's Monthly, Century, St. Nicholas, Harp-
er's Bazar, Art Amateur, China Decorator, Eclectic
Magazine, Etude, Current Literature, Literary
Digest, N. Y. Observer, Popular Science Monthly,
Chautauquan, Scientific American, Werner's Maga-
zine, Youth's Companion, Southern Presbyterian,
Christian Observer, Christian Index, Christian Ad-
vocate, Churchman, Music Courier, Art Inter-
change, Biblical World, Educational Review,
Forum, Ladies' Home Journal, Music.

Lectures, Concerts, Etc.

A number of lectures upon a variety of topics,
such as Literature, Science, Art, Music, etc., are
given at intervals throughout the school year.

These lectures are open to all the pupils of the
Institute, and are delivered at intervals of three or
four weeks.

The boarding pupils, invariably under charge of
members of the faculty, have frequent opportunity
of attending lectures, concerts, recitals, etc., in At-
lanta. The nearness of Decatur to the city, and
the frequent and convenient schedules on the elec-

General Ifnformation,

trie and Georg-ia railroads, make attendance thereon
easy and pleasant. Pupils are thus able to enjoy
rare a,dvantag-es in this direction, to be found only
in large cities. Such visits are not permitted to
interfere with school duties, and the utmost care is
exercised as to the character of the entertainment.

Societies.

Mneinosynean Society is a literary society organ-
ized in October, 1891, and has a large and active
membership. The object of this organization is
to foster a taste for polite literature and to acquire
on the part of its members familiarity with standard
authors, musicians and artists. Readings, recita-
tions, discussions, essays and musical numbers con-
stitute its programme. The members are actively
and successfully engaged in accumulating a library
of standard books. The Society also publishes the
^'' Mnemosynean Monthly^'''' which has a large circu-
lation among the pupils and friends of the Institute.

The Polymnia Club.

Composed of the teachers and most of the pupils
of the Music Department, was organized in the
Spring of 1895, and has grown steadily in interest
and usefulness.

Its regular meetings are held every two weeks, at
which instrumental and vocal numbers, and read-
ings or essays upon musical subjects are rendered.
Since its organization this club has donated about
sixty volumes of musical works to the School
Library, known as the "Polymnia Collection."
During the current year they have maintained a
scholarship in the Music Department, and for the
coming year will offer two, one in piano and one in
voice culture.

SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Wm. A. Moore Scholarship.

Under the will of the late William A. Moore, a
Ruling- Elder in the First Presbyterian Church of
Atlanta, the Institute received in 1892 a leg^acy of
$5,000.

The will of Mr. Moore provides that "this sum
shall be held as a permanent fund or endowment
for the education at this Institute of worthy g-irls
of Presbyterian parents, who are unable to provide
a collegiate education for their daughters," the
same to be permanently invested and only the inter-
est to be used.

Scholarships under this fund are annually award-
ed by the Trustees, as directed in Mr. Moore's will.
The W. P. Pattillo Scholarship. This is a day
scholarship, for which Mr. Pattillo, of Atlanta, has
g-enerously sent us his check for $60.00 for the past
four years.

The AlunincE Scholarship. The Alumnae have
caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes
their Alma Mater, and, although comparatively a
small band, have nobly resolved to maintain a schol-
arship. Last year, by their own efforts, they paid
in larg-e part for a boarding- scholarship. For next
session they have already undertaken a day schol-
arship.

The Polyninia Scholarship in Music. This club
has arranged to offer two scholarships for next ses-
sion, one for Piano under Director ($60.00), and
the other for Voice ($60.00). These scholarships
are awarded by the Club. For information address
Prof. Joseph Maclean, Decatur.

RELIGIOUS FEATURES.

The formation and development of Ciiristian
character constitute one of the great objects of this
Institution. The relig-ious features of the school
have, therefore, been very carefully considered.

The daily sessions are opened with relig^ious exer-
cises held in the chapel.

The Bible is a text-book, and the Bible Course
made necessary to graduation.

The Sabbath is considered the most important
day in the week for spiritual culture, and it is the
constant effort of the Faculty to make it the most
delightful and profitable.

A Sabbath School is conducted by the resident
teachers in the Institute chapel, and all the board-
ing* pupils are expected to attend.

The Agnes Scott Christian Band,

made up of boarding pupils and teachers, meets
every Sabbath afternoon. Its object is Christian
edification and usefulness. The exercises are con-
ducted by the members according to a programme
previously arranged by the devotional committee.

Membership in the Band is entirely optional, but
nearly all the boarding pupils are members.

A weekly prayer-meeting-, conducted by members
of the Christian Band, is also held every Thursday
afternoon. An increasing readiness throughout
the year in voluntary contribution to the exercises
of the meetings, has given evidence of growth in
spirituality and earnestness.

All boarding pupils are required to attend church
at least once on Sabbath, when not providentially
hindered.

The above chai'ges are as low as the advantages
offered can be furnished. By employing inferior
teachers, and using an ordinary building- without
any modern improvements, and without any special
equipment ; by providing fewer comforts in the
home department, and making no special provision
for caring for pupils in case of sickness, the above
charges could doubtless be reduced. But the best
advantages and home comforts cannot be furnished
at a lower price. The Institute does not hope or
desire to do more than to maintain the school at its
present high state of excellence.

The entering of a pupil in this histitute shall be
dee7ned a J'or7nal and explicit contract for her to re-
main until the close op the school year. The institu-
tion obligates itself to furnish board, instruction
and all the advantages it offers for the scholastic
year., while the patron upon his part by entering-
his daughter, or ward, obligates himself to send her

(Beneral Untormation*

for the entire session. In no other way can a school
without endowment be maintained, since all engag^e-
ments with teachers, and other provisions for con-
ducting- the school, must be made in advance for
the entire year. Patrons can therefore understand
why no portion of the fees will be refunded in case
of withdrawal, unless such withdrawal is recom-
mended or approved by the Institute physician on
account of sickness.

The terms of payment are one-half at time of en-
trance in September, the balance at the beginning
of the second term, January 20th. Patrons who
may find these terms inconvenient will be allowed
to pay quarterly i7i advance by applying to the
President. Pupils matriculating during the first
two weeks of the term are charged as from the first
day ; afterward from date of entrance.

The medical fee covers the attendance of the In-
stitute Physician, nursing and medicines, except in
cases of protracted or aggravated sickness.

No deductions for any cause will be allowed pu-
pils withdrawing after the middle of the second term.

All drafts, checks and money orders should be
made payable to F. H. Gaines, President.

Discounts.

When two or more boarding pupils are entered
from the same family, a discount of ten -per cent, on
their total bills is allowed.

When two or more day pupils are entered from
the same family, a discount of fifty cents per month
will be made for each pupil.

Pupils paying for the full Literary course and for
two music studies^ are allowed a discount of ten
dollars for each term.

General IFntonnatton,

Where the discount of ten per cent, is allowed
for tvv^o or more pupils from the same family, no
further discount is made.

To Ministers reg"ularlj eng-ag"ed in their calling-
the following- rates are g-iven : Board, tuition in
Literary Department, including- heat, lig-hts, library
fee, physical culture, for school year, S180.00.

Special studies, medical fee and laundry at
regular rates.

To ministers who send their daug-hters as day
pupils a discount of ten per cent, will be allowed.

No further discounts will be g-iven.

Suggestions to Parents and Guardians.

The success of pupils in their school work depends
larg-ely upon the co-operation of the parents with
the faculty. Parents or g-uardians who place their
daug-hters in this school are understood to accept
the conditions as defined in this catalog-ue.

Every expressed wish of parents is met so far as
it is consistent with the g-eneral g-ood.

Parents will find it to the interest of their
daug-hters to confer frankly with the President or
Principal concerning- anything- in the manag-ement
of which complaint is made.

Parents are urg-ently requested not to interfere
with the studies of their daug-hters by withdraw-
ing- them during- the session to spend a week or so
at home. Parents are also requested not to with-
draw their daug-hters until after Commencement,
except for urg-ent reasons. Such withdrawals
seriously interrupt the prog-ress of the pupil, are
positively injurious to the classes, and tend to dis-
tract the whole school.

Parents cannot g-ive their daug-hters permission

(Beneral 1[ntormatton.

to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is
required by the rules of this Institute, and
they apply alike to every inmate of the school.

Parents are requested to consult with the Presi-
dent or Principal before excusing their daughters
from examinations, or advising them to make any
change in their course of study.

Our tablk is abundantly supplied with wholE-
sqmk food, and boxes of eatables are forbidden.
Placing before your daughters a temptation to

EAT RICH food at ALL HOURS IS A MOST EFFECTUAL
MEANS OF DEFEATING ALL THE ENDS FOR WHICH
THEY HAVE BEEN SENT TO US.

Pupils will not be allowed to go to Atlanta
oftener than is absolutely necessary for shopping
purposes, and then only when accompanied by a
teacher. Parents are earnestly requested not to
ask a violation of this rule.

Pupils are not allowed to receive callers on the
Sabbath. Parents and friends are earnestly re-
quested not to ask a violation of this rule.

Visitors will not be received during school or
study hours : 8: 30 a. m. to 2 p. m., and 7 p. m. to 9
p. m.

Young gentlemen are not received unless they
bring letters of introduction from parents or guar-
dians to the President or Principal, and then only
at their discretion.

Parents are expected to furnish lists of persons
with whom they wish their daughters to correspond.

Money for books, music and incidental expenses
cannot be advanced; a deposit of ten or fifteen dol-
lars should be made at the beginning of each term,

General Untormation.

an itemized statement of the expenditure of whicli
will be rendered.

Books, sheet music, art materials, etc., will be
supplied to boarding- pupils only at actual cost; day
pupils are convenient to the book stores, and must
supply themselves.

Dentistry should be attended to before leaving"
for school.

Punctuality is indispensable to progress. If pos-
sible have your daug-hter present on the first day 6f
school.

For repeated violations of the rules, parents will
be requested to take their daughters home.

The proper address for teleg-rams and letters is in
care Ag-nes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga.

All letters on business, concerning* the admission
or dismission of pupils, concerning- any of the
departments of instruction, concerning- the general
manag-ement and conduct of the institution, or
application for catalog-ues, should be addressed to
the President.

Remittances of money should be by postoffice
order, reg-istered letter. New York draft, or express,
to the President, Decatur, Ga., or payments may
be made to him in person.

Letters concerning- the pupils personally, prog-ress
in their studies, health, rooms, room-mates, etc.,
should be addressed to the Principal.

THE ANNUAL.

This is a handsomely printed and illustrated
publication gotten out by the student body, entitled
Aurora. Besides much interesting* historical matter,
it gives a full representation of student life at Ag-nes
Scott in its various phases.

IReeb of tbe ITnstitute.

NEED OP THE INSTITUTE,

The institute was founded for a great purpose :
The Glory of God in the Higher Christian Education
of Woman. For the accomplishment of this purpose
more than $125,000.00 has been contributed in
g-rounds, buildings, equipment and support. But
the advance in female education has been so g-reat
in recent years that now equally as fine advantages
are demanded for our daughters as for our sons. If
this institution is to meet this demand, and most
fully and successfully accomplish the g^reat purpose
for which it was founded, it yet has great needs.

Some of these are :

1. An additional building*. There is now urgent
need for a new building which would supply larger
chapel, art studio, library, gymnasium and ad-
ditional dormitories.

2. Kndowment. At present the institute has no
endowment. There are many reasons why this is
needed. It is needed to secure and retain the best
teachers ; to keep up the buildings and equipment ;
to provide suitable library and apparatus ; to guard
againt contingencies ; to offer the best advantages
at a minimum cost ; to insure the highest efficiency
and permanancy of the Institute. This endowment
may be made either by a general endowment fund
to be used for the Institute at the discretion of the
Board of Trustees, or by endowing Professorships,
or Scholarships.

3. Scholarships. We often have applica-
tions from worthy young women for aid in securing
an education. While we are always glad to do
what we can our ability is limited. There is great

IKleet) of tbe irnstttute.

need both for endowed scholarships and annual
scholarships. The sum of $5,000.00 will endow a
scholarship for a boarding- pupil ; or $1,000.00 for a
day pupil. The sum of $250.00 will procure a
scholarship for a boarding- pupil for one j'^ear; or
$50.00 for a day pupil.

Any who may desire to aid in this g-reat work
are requested to correspond with the President.

Form of Bequest or Devise.

The Ag-nes Scott Instiutute is a corporation
created by and existing- under the laws of the State
of Georg"ia, and a proper form of bequest would be
as follows :

"To The Agnes Scott Institute, I give and

bequeath the sum of Dollars,

(or I devise a certain tract or parcel of land, etc.,)
to be used by the Trustees for the use of said
Institute, as provided for in its charter."

THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION.

During- the Commencement of 1895 the Ag-nes
Scott Alumnae Association was org-anized. Since
its org-anization a scholarship fund has been estab-
lished, and a successful Reading- Circle formed.

The object of the Association is to strengthen
the interest of those who have been connected with
the school in each other, and in the Institute, to
place them in a helpful relation toward it and to
arouse and quicken interest in Christian education .

Already great interest and enthusiasm has been
manifested, and the results have been very gratify-
ing to the Alumnae, to the trustees of the Insti-
tute and to their many friends.
