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. 11 ^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. 14 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. 15 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. 16 Biincs Scott Unstttutc. 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. 17 Bcinc5 Scott Unstitute. Expenses.

Terms of Payment. For convenience of payment by patrons, the School Year is divided into quarters : The First Quarter ends November 7th, 1896. The Second Quarter ends January 12th, 1897. The Third Ouarter ends March 20th, 1897. The Fourth Quarter ends May 26th, 1897. All bills will be rendered quarterly, and unless otherwise specifically agreed upon, must be paid for the first quarter on entrance, and thereafter on or before the first day of each quarter. All checks should be made payable to the order of F. H. Gaines, President. 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- 20 Bcjues Scott tlnstitutc. 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 Bones Scott Unstitute. the same family, a deduction of fifty cents per montH for each pupil is allowed. Pupils paying- for the full Literary course and for two viusic studies, are allowed a discount of ten dol- 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. RATES TO MINISTERS. To Ministers regularly engaged in their calling the following- rates are g-iven : Board, tuition in Literary Department, including heat, lights, library fee, physical culture, for school year, $180.00. Special studies, medical fee and laundry- at regu- lar rates. For Daj' Pupils a discount of ten per cent, will be allowed. No further discounts will be given. 22 Course ot StuC>\\ Primary Department.

Essaj- Work : Structure of the short story. 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, 28 Course of Unstruction. to be reported upon b}- the end of the following- ses- sion. The courses for 189h-97 are as follows : First Tear. David Copperlield. Tale of Two Cities. The Vicar of Wakefield. , ' Rasselas. Silas Warner. Ben Hur, or The Prince of India. Second Tear. 1.

It is found to be necessary to emphasize the fact that the preparation essential for this class is a g-ood knowledg-e of Arithmetic and of Alg-ebra to Radicals. Secoiid Tear. Geometry, Plane and Solid, with numerous exercises for orig-inal solutions. This class meets fiye times a week, (fiye hours). Third Tear.

Wentworth's Alg-ebra, Geometry, Trig-onometry and Analytical Geometry. 30 Course of llnstruction. 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 31 Course of Unstructiou. tog-ether with other valuable apparatus for dissect- ing-, sectioning- and staining-. Throug-h the kind- ness and g-enerosity of Mr. N. P. Pratt, a mineral- og-ical cabinet of 300 choice specimens has been 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. 32 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. 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 (Poster), or Studies in the Pour Gospels (Hurlbut.) 33 Course of flnstructiou. School of History. 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. Free access to the works of the library is allowed to all pupils, and they are encourag-ed to avail themselves of this opportunity to do independent work. First Tear. Oriental Nations and Greece, Myers; Rome, Mj^ers. Mytholog-y by topical stud3^ Frequent reference is made to Plutarch's Lives, Mahaffey's Old Greek Life, Wilkie's Roman An- tiquities, and to standard historians. Second Tear. Important features of Madia^val History, Myers. Outline of Modern European His- tory, Myers. During- the second term especial study is devoted to the period of the Reformation ; the French Revo- tution and its effect upon the political history of Eng-land ; the Rise of the German Empire. Third Tear. History of Eng-land, Montg-omery ; History of France, Montgomery ; Civil Government in the United States ; History of the United States, reviewed. Topics on leading characters and important events are assigned at intervals for especial study. Maps, chronolog-ical tables, and outlines are fre- quently required, and during- the third year there is a weekl}^ lesson in current events. Pupils are advised to stud}- an elementary history of Greece, of Rome and of Eng-land before undertaking- the course prescribed above. 34 Course of Unstruction. School of Mental and Moral Sciences. The course of stud^^ in this school occupies two years, and is not taken up until the third or Junior year of the pupil, and is divided as follows : First l^car. Psycholog-y, Hopkins; Logfic ; Ped- ag-og-y. Seco)id Tear. Ethics, Hopkins; Pedag-og^y. Lectures, discussions, and library work will be combined with the study of the text-books. School of Latin. Appreciating- the value of the mental discipline to be obtained b}' a thorough mastery of the princi- ples of the language, students are required to study the characteristics of st^-le, and the dependence of the English language upon the Latin. Books of reference treating upon the contemporaneous his- tory- and literature of each author, are supplied in the library of the Institute, and these are used under the direction of the teacher of this depart- ment. The entrance examinations serve the pur- pose of testing the applicant's knowledg-e of the forms and syntactical structure of the language, and she will be expected to answer general ques- tions upon the passages selected for translation. Fii'st l^ear. Caesar, Books I-IV. Special attention is given to Et^-mology and Syn- tax, and to the study of Geography and History as related to the text. 35 Gourde ot llnstruction. Second ]'car.

This work must be taken in the first or second year. The Faculty reserves the right to limit a pupil to eighteen hours per week of class work, including Music, Art and Elocution. 38 Course of Unstruction, School of Music, The work of this department embraces instruc- tion in piano, org^an, violin, voice culture, art of sing-ing-, harmony, theor}' of music, history of music, sig-ht reading- and chorus sing-ing-. The several courses are arrang-ed to meet the wants of those who wish to study music as a profession, or as part of a liberal education, and are full}" up to the most modern ideas and methods. Onl}- experi- enced teachers of special talent and training- are employed; there are no tutors or assistants. Pupils in piano, org-an, violin and voice have two lessons a week of half an hour each. Harmony, theory, sig-ht reading-, etc., is taug-ht in classes, which meet twice a week. These classes are open free of charg-e to all pupils taking- private lessons. The prepara- tory pupils in piano will be g-iven four lessons a week of fifteen minutes each, thereby g-reatly assist- ing- them in mastering- the principles of music and technique, which are necessarily tedious. Kach pupil is expected to perform the part assig-ned her in frequent recitals. Piano pupils in the prepara- tory g-rade are expected to practice one hour dail}-. More advanced pupils, two hours. Pupils in voice culture will practice one hour a day. Special students can arrang-e for more time. Piano. PREPAKATOKY GRADE.

Instruction in Elementary Drawing is given to the pupils in the Primary Department without extra charg-e ; also to all other students for one hour a week during one term. Physical Culture. The Trustees, appreciating the importance of physical exercise and training- as conducive alike to health and grace of carriage, have provided a regu-^ lar and systematic course in physical culture. The Institute G^^mnasium contains the best apparatus, including Horizontal and Vaulting Bars, Horse, Flying-rings, Chest-weights, Clubs, Wands, Dumb-bells, Rings, Hoops, etc. The daily half-hour exercise should be refreshing, but never tiresome. Each pupil is expected to supph' 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 of about three and a half dollars, for material and makinof. 44 General Unformation.

Candidates for the hig-her classes will be exam- ined on the subjects previous!}' studied b}- the class which they propose to enter. General Examinations. In addition to frequent reviews three g-eneral examinations will be held each year. Each of these 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. 48 (Beneral Ifntormation. Diplomas. A student who completes satisfactorily the Liter- an', the Scientific or the Classical Course of study receives a diploma with the title " (Traduaie.'' A student who finishes satisfactorily the Pull Course of study receives a diploma with the title " Full Graduate,'' and also a star medal. Certifieates of Proficiency are g-iven to those pupils who complete satisfactorily the course of stud3' pre- scribed in an}' school. .4 grade mark or percentag^e of at least 80 in each school must be obtained to entitle a pupil to a Di- ploma or to a Certificate of Proficiency in any par- ticular school, or to pass the pupil from a lower to a hig-her class. Pupils whose yearly average in any study is 90 or more receive a Certificate of Distinction. "the blue list." For the information of parents and the friends of pupils, there is published and distributed on Com- mencement Day "The Blue List.'' This list is in the nature of a "roll of honor," and contains the name of all pupils who have ob- tained an average mark of 80 or higher on their year's work, in their respective classes, and are con- sequently passed to the hig-her classes. Those pupils whose average is above 90 are dis- tiiigitis/icd, and their names are printed on "The 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. 49 General Untormatiou. 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 50 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. 51 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. 52 (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. 53 (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 guardians. The amount so authorized by them must also be stated, but the making of bills under any circumstances, is discourag-ed. Pupils will not be allowed to g-o to Atlanta oftener than is absolutely necessary for shopping- purposes, and then only when accompanied by a 54 General ffntormation. teacher. Parents are earnestly requested not to ask a violation of this rule. Pupils are not allowed to receive callers on the Sabbath. Visitors will not be received during- school or studv hours: 8:30 a. m. to 2 p. m., and 7 p. m. to 9 p. M. Gentlemen are not received unless thev bring- let- ters of introduction to the President or Principal from parents or g-uardians, and then onlj- at their discretion. Parents are expected to furnish lists of persons with whom they wish their daug-hters to correspond. Parents and friends are earnestly requested not to send boxes of eatables to the pupils except during- the Christmas holidays. Rich food eaten at all hours is a fruitful source of headache and indi- g-estion. Pupils are not allowed to leave the g-rounds with- out permission, nor to appear on the streets unless accompanied bv a teacher. Pupils are not allowed to borrow monev, jewelry, or books, nor wear the clothing- of others, neither will the exchang-ing- of clothing- be permitted. Extravag-ance in dress is discourag-ed, and parents will confer a favor bv consulting- simplicity and economy in the attire of their daug-hters. The following- violations of the laws of health are prohibited : Eating- imprudently at nig-ht ; wearing- thin, low shoes in cold weather ; g-oing- out without wraps or over-shoes ; sitting- on the g-round, and walking- out of doors with uncovered heads ; and the too early removal of flannels or neg-lect to put them on at the approach of cold weather. 55 General irntormation. The Institute has ample halls, verandahs and grounds, and pupils are required to take at least one hour of daily exercise in the open air when the weather is suitable. 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, and neg-ligence in this respect is reported to the Principal. 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. Rooms are assig^ned in the order of application for entrance. Occasional holidays, according- to the needs of the pupils, and the judg^ment of the Faculty, will be g-iven. Da}^ pupils, or pupils taking- special courses and not resident in the Institute, will have access only to the room and exercises connected with their studies, unless by special permission, nor will they be allowed to visit boarding- pupils in their rooms. Parents cannot g-ive their daug-hters permission to do what is prohibited, nor to omit what is re- quired by the rules of this Institute, and they ap- pl}^ alike to every inmate of the school. Parents are requested to consult with the Presi- dent or Principal before excusing- their daug-hters from examinations or advising- them to make any change in their course of study. For repeated violations of the rules parents will be requested to take their daug-hters home. 56 General llnformation. Parents or g-uardians who place their daug-hters in this school are understood to accept the condi- tions as defined in this catalog^ue. The proper address for telegrams and letters is in care Agnes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga. All letters on business, concerning the admission or dismission of pupils, concerning any of the depart- ments of instruction, concerning the general man- agement and conduct of the institution, or applica- tion for catalogues, "should be addressed to the President. Remittances of money should be by postoflfice order, registered 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, progress in their studies, health, etc., should be addressed to the Principal. 57 lRet}i5ter of pupils. I Register of Pupils, Name.
