Bimounccmcut.

At the unanimous call of the Board of Trustees,
Rev. F. H. Gaines assumed the Presidency' of the
Institute on June 1st.

As is known to former patrons Mr. Gaines has
been intimately connected with the Institute from
its inception, as President of the Board of Trustees
and teacher of the Bible course, and as chairman of
the Faculty has had general supervision of the
school.

The steady g-rowth of the Institute in all depart-
ments, the increasing- demands of the chair hereto-
fore filled b}' Mr. Gaines, and the larg-e business
interests of the institution, in the opinion of the
Board of Trustees, required his whole time and
attention, and consequently at the earnest solicita-
tion of the Trustees, Mr. Gaines has resig-ned the
Pastorate of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, and
will in the future devote his entire time to the
Institute.

Miss Hopkins, who has so acceptably and abl}^
occupied the position of Principal since the org-ani-
zation of the Institute, will continue to discharg^e
the same duties, and there will be no chang^e in the
manag-ement of the internal affairs of the school.

The trustees have no hesitation in expressing-
their confident belief that the Institute is now better
org-anized and equipped for its work than at an}^

period in its history.

^be Hones Scott Unstitute

WAS FOUNDED IN 1889. The two great
objects in view in its founding- and mainte-
nance are :

First, the g-lory of God. This object stands not
only first in order, but first in importance. It is
the supreme and ruling- idea in this Institution.
Nothing- inconsistent with this object is to be know-
ing-ly allowed, but every effort will be made to
promote this end.

Second, the hig-her Christian education of woman.
That is to say, the desig-n is to seek the g-lory of
God in the hig-her Christian education of woman.

These objects are soug-ht to be promoted by:

1st. A liberal curriculum. The colleg-iate course
is believed to be fully abreast with that of any sim-
ilar school in the South.

2d. A hig-h standard of scholarship. The pre-
scribed course must be mastered step by step. It is
the desire of this Institution to do nothing- but hon-
est and thoroug-h work, so that its diplomas will
represent actual attainments and accurate scholar-
ship.

3d. The Bible a text-book. The object is to g-ive
a correct and systematic knowledg-e of the Bible
by reg-ular study, class-room drill, written reviews
and examinations.

4th. A Christian home. It is our desire and
13

Bcines Scott Ifnstitute.

purpose that this home shall be characterized by a
firm, but kind and considerate discipline ; constant
reg-ard for the health, enjo^^ment and improvement
of each pupil ; refinement, inculcation and practice
of Christian principles and the cultivation of all the
g-races of Christian womanhood.

5th. The best instructors. In the selection of
Teachers the Trustees keep constantly in view two
essentials : First, Christian character; second, spe-
cial qualifications for teaching- in each school.

The Institute, while under the direct supervision
of the Decatur Presbyterian church, is in no sense
sectarian.

The school has been g-reatly blessed and pros-
pered, and enters upon its seventh year with every
prospect of continued success.

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
central tower may be seen the peaks of the North
Georg-ia mountains and those of the Blue Ridg-e.

The climate is bracing-, the drainag-e naturally
perfect, and the water, the purest freestone, is
uncontaminated by sewerag-e.

Decatur is six miles northeast of Atlanta, imme-
diately on the Georg-ia Railroad. It is also con-
nected with the cit}' b}- two electric lines with 15
and 30 minute schedules.

Hones Scott Unstitute.

Its accessibility' and nearness to I the city of
Atlanta, with its system of 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
Ridg-e rang-e of mountains, and 3"et at an altitude
far beyond the malarial lowlands of the South
Atlantic and Gulf States, g-ives to the Institute
many of the pleasant and beneficial effects of a
delig"htful health resort. Persons residing in South
Georg^ia, 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 of a rig-orous winter climate without
encountering malarial or enervating influences.

The town has excellent telegraphic, 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 Praser High School for bo3's, a pre-
paratory school of high g-rade and superior man-
gaement is located here.

The society is educated and refined, and character-
ized 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
impressiveness.

Hemes Scott Unstitutc.

It is constructed of brick, g-ranite and marble; is
one hundred and ninety-four feet long-, fifty-four
feet wide and four stories hig-h, exclusive of' base-
ment. The eng-ine room, electric lig-ht plant, laun-
dry, and kitchen are apart from the main building-.
The entire building- is heated and ventilated by
the indirect steam method, and lig-hted by elec-
tricity.

Parlors, office 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 thoroug-hly
ventilated by outside windows and over 500 feet of
wide halls.

The chambers are unusually larg-e and arrang-ed
so as to admit abundant sunlig-ht, and in their con-
struction especial attention was g-iven to securing
perfect ventilation. The furniture and appoint*
ments are homelike and comfortable, and the build-
ing- carpeted throug-hout. While luxury has not
been studied, every convenience necessary for health
and comfort has been supplied, and in this respect
few homes in the country are more complete.

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

Each floor is supplied with water, bath and toilet
rooms, electric bells and ample hose and fire
buckets ; the building- and premises are supplied
with water from three wells, a tank in the tower
containing- 8,000 g-allons, a larg-e spring- near by,
and a cistern with a capacity of 30,000 g-allons.

A watchman is on duty all nig-ht, and his visits
at numerous stations throug-hout the building- and
around the premises are registered by an electric
watchman's clock.

Boarding Department.

This department is under the superintendence of
the Matron, who g-ives to the housekeeping- her con-
stant, personal attention.

The table is abundantly- supplied with wholesome
food, secured from the Atlanta and local markets.

A suite of rooms, including- bed room, sitting-
room and nurse's room, in a retired section of the
building- on the second floor, has been set aside and
is used exclusively as an inlirmary. The Infirmarv
is in charg-e of the Intendant, who is in constant
attendance in cases of sickness.

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

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

The Intendant of the Infirmary- is also in special
charg-e of the two dormitory floors. She will at all
times rig-idly inspect the rooms of the pupils and see
that they are neatl}-^ and properh* kept in order,
reporting- any dereliction to the Principal.

Each dormitory floor has two larg-e bath and toilet
rooms, supplied with hot and cold water.

The Institute has its own steam laundry, with all
needed appliances, in w^hich the laundry work of
the Institute is done neatly and cheaply.

The serious dang-er of the introduction of contag--
ious and infectious diseases by having- this work in
various hands throug-hout the villag-e is thus avoided.

NOTE.

The entering of a pupil in this School shall be
deemed a formal and explicit contract for her to
remain until the close of the school year. If with-
drawn, no portion of the fees will be refunded unless
withdrawal is necessitated by sickness, the sufii-
cienc}' of which must be determined by the Insti-
tute Physician ; or for other Providential reasons
to which the Board of Trustees must ascent.

No deduction will be made for absence, unless
caused b}- sickness for as long- a period as one
month.

Parents are urgently requested not to interfere
with the studies of their daughters by with-

drawing- them during- the session to spend a week
or so at home. Parents are also requested not to
withdraw their daughters until after Commence-
ment, except for urgent reasons. Such withdraw-
als seriously interrupt the progress of the pupil,
are positively- injurious to the classes, and tend to
distract the whole school.

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, an itemized statement of the expenditure of
which 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.

Pupils matriculating during the first two weeks
of the term are charged as from the first day.
After the expiration of two weeks, they are
charged only from the date of entrance.

The medical fee covers the attendance of the
Institute Physician, nursing and medicines, except
in cases of protracted or aggravated sick)iess.

No deduction for any cause will be allowed to
pupils withdrawing during the last four weeks of
the session.

The above reg-ulations will be strictly enforced,
and patrons are requested not to ask any deviation
therefrom.

DISCOUNTS.

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

When two or more day pupils are entered from
21

the same family, a deduction of fifty cents per
montH for each pupil is allowed.

lars for each term.

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

Fourih i'mr. (Elective.) The Lake School
Poets and the Browning-s.

The object of the English Course is two-fold, viz:
To train pupils to write not only correctly, but in a
clear, impressive manner, and to create in them a
desire to read what is g-ood in Eng-lish and Ameri-
can liturature. To g-ain the desired result in the
former, pupils are taug-ht the principles that g-overn
clear and correct writing-, and are frequently called
upon to put these into practice, a number of essays
upon simple subjects, and weekly themes, one pag-e
or more in leng-th, 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 g-aining- this object, at the end of each ses-
sion a course of instructive and pleasant reading-,
outside of reg-ular class work, is assig-ned each class,

School of Sciences.

First Year. Geolog'}- (LeConte) and Miner alog"j.

Mineralog-j 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 Year. Zoologv (Nicholson); and Botany
(Campfield),

TJiird Year. Phvsics (Gage).

Fourth Year. Chemistr}- (^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 Zoology and Botam* are taught
upon a stricth' laboratory basis, the laborator}"
studies being as far iud^ictive 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

recently added to the department, making- it possi-
ble to carry on yery thoroug-h work in dynamical
and structural ^eolog-y. The text-books used are
selected with the yiew of g-iying- all so-called new
topics full share of attention.

School of the Bible.

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

I. OBJECTS.

1. To g-iye a clear knowledg-e of Bibical 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 greatest book in existence, yet
comparatively few have a true cippreciation of this
claim.

3. To teach hozv to study the Bible. Much
Bible reading- and evn Bible studx is unsatisfactor}-
for the lack of the best method of study.

II. HOW THE COURSE IS TAUGHT.

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

2. The Bible is taug-ht svs^tcuiali rally, /'. e.
according- to a plan. The plan used is to divide
each Testament into periods according- to the epoch
in the histor}-, and to study these periods in order.

Course ot Unstruction.

3. The Bible is taug-ht anah'ticaU\^ each
period is carefully analyzed and the material orderly
arrang-ed. Then, as time permits, books and chap-
ters are analyzed.

4. The Bible is taught 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 Geography and the best wall maps are used.

5. The Bible is always taug^ht as the inspired
word of God.

The course is arranged as follows :

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

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 (Poster), or Studies in
the Pour Gospels (Hurlbut.)

periods of examinations will occupy three days.
They will be conducted in writing-, the time allotted
to each examination being- three hours.

Parents are earnestly requested to consult with
the President or Principal before excusing- their
daug-hters from examinations.

Frequent and unnecessary excuses retard both the
intellectual and moral g-rowth.

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

The final g-rade and promotion of the pupil is
determined from the record of dailv recitations and
examinations, and thus the student is stimulated to
thorough preparation for the class-room, and also
to a permanent acquisition of knowledg-e.

Reports.

Reports of class standing-, attendance, conduct,
etc., are impartially prepared and sent to parents
or g-uardians quarterly.

Library and Reading Room.

The library now contains about 1,000 volumes,
selected with care and with a view to the needs of
pupils. It includes works of history, standard fic-
tion, biog"raphy, 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
to the library constantly, and as rapidly as their
means will allow.

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

Harper's Monthly Magazine, Harper's Bazaar,
Popular Science Monthly, The Illustrated London
News, Centurv Magazine, St. Nicholas, Youth's
Companion, The Art Amateur, The Art Journal,
The Journal of Decorative Art, The Literary
Digest, Werner's Voice Magazine, The Etude, The
Chatauquan, Scribner's Magazine, The New York
Obsever, The Christian Observer, The Southern
Presbyterian, The Sunday School Times, The
Christian Index, The Christian Advocate, The
Churchman, and others.

All the pupils of the Institute have the privilege
of consulting the books of reference during school
hours.

The Library and Reading Room is open to Board-
ing Pupils every afternoon, except on SundaA^s.

Societies.

The M)ic))i()svi/cci)i Society is a literarj' societ}-
org"anized in October, 1891, and has a large and

General Unformation.

active membership. The object of this org^aniza-
tion is to foster a taste for polite literature and to
acquire on the part of its members familiarity- with
standard authors, musicians and artists. Reading's,
recitations, discussions, essays and musical numbers
constitute its programme. Its members are actively
and successfully eng-ag^ed in accumulating- a
library of standard books. This Society also pub-
lishes the "' MiiCDiosxjica)! MoiitJilx,'"' which has a
larg-e circulation 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 org-anized in the
Spring- of 1895, and has gTown steadily in interest
and usefulness.

It's meetings are held every twoweeks, at which
prog-rams consisting^ of instrumental and vocal
numbers and reading-s or essays upon musical sub-
jects are rendered. During- the past year this club
has made a handsome addition to the school library,
consisting- of thirty- volumes of musical works,
known as the "Polymnia Collection." Each year
they hope to increase this collection.

Lectures, Concerts, Etc.

A number of lectures upon a variety of topics,
such as foreig-n travel, literature, science, art,
music, etc., are g-iven at intervals throug-hout the
school year.

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

General Unformation.

The boarding- pupils, invariably under charg-e of
members of the faculty-, have frequent opportunity
of attending- lectures, concerts, recitals, etc., in
Atlanta. The nearness of Decatur to the city, and
the frequent and convenient schedules on the elec-
tric and Georg-ia railroads, make attendance thereon
easy and pleasant. Pupils are thus allowed to
enjoy rare and instructive opportunities in this
direction, to be obtained only in larg-e cities. Such
visits are not permitted to interfere with school
duties, and the utmost care is exercised as to the
character of the entertainment, only such being-
selected as are refining- and instructive.

The Wm. A. Moore Scholarship Fund.

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
S5,000.

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
Presbj'-terian parents, who are unable to provide a
colleg-iate education for their daug-hters," the same
to be permanently invested and only the interest to
be used.

Scholarships under this fund are annually award-
ed by the Trustees, as directed in Mr. Moore's will.

Religious Features.

The formation and development of Christian char-
acter constitute one of the g-reat objects of this Insti-
tute. The relig-ious features of the school have,
therefore, been very carefully considered.

(Beneral Ifnformation.

The dail}' 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 g-raduation.

The Sabbath is considered the most important
day in the week for spiritual culture, and is deyoted
entirel}^ to the relig-ious training- of the pupils.

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 CHKISTIAN BAND,

constituted of boarding- pupils, meets eyery Sabbath
afternoon. Its object is Christian edification and
usefulness. The exercises are conducted by the
members according- to a prog-ramme preyiously
arrang-ed by the deyotional committee.

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

A w^eekl}- prayer meeting-, conducted by members
of the Christian Band, is also held eyery Thursday
afternoon. An increasing- readiness throug-hout
the year in yoluntary contribution to the exercises
of the meeting-s has g-iyen eyidence of g-rowth in
spirituality and earnestness.

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

Social Features.

The teachers and pupils are members of the same
household and ming-le on terms of most intimate
social intercourse, and constant and careful effort is
made to deyelop and cultiyate the social character
and g-races of speech and conduct, the ornaments of
true womanhood.

(Beneral Untormatiou.

Only such restrictions are thrown around the
pupils as are considered important for their health,
safety and improvement.

Kvery effort is made to g-ive to the Institute the
character of a home.

Kach boarder must furnish two pair of sheets,
two pair of pillow cases, six table napkins, six
towels, napkin ring-, one teaspoon, g-ossamer, um-
brella and one pair rubber shoes. The pillow-
cases should be 35x22 inches.

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

Boarders are required to attend services at the
Presbyterian Church every Sabbath morning-, when
the weather is not too inclement, under charg-e of
the resident teachers. As often as is convenient,
and on special occasions, pupils who are members
of other churches attend their own church, under
charg-e of a teacher.

Boarders are required to be punctual at meals,
and no one will be excused except in case of sick-
ness. Perfect neatness in dress is required at all
meals.

Indiscriminate novel reading- is prohibited.

Pupils are not allowed to purchase any article on
credit without written permission from parents or

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

pupils, and the judg^ment of the Faculty, will be
g-iven.
