the

Hemes Scott
Institute

WAS FOUNDED IN 18S9. The two great objects
in view in its founding and maintenance are :
First, the glory of God. This object stands not
only first in order, but first in importance. It is the su-
preme and ruling idea in this Institution. Nothing incon-
sistent with this object is to be knowingly allowed, but
everything is to be done, that can be done, to advance
this end.

Second, the higher Christian education of woman. That
is to say, the design is to seek the glory of God in the
higher Christian education of woman.

These objects are sought to be promoted by
1st. A liberal curriculum. The college course is believed
to be fully abreast with that of any female school in the
South.

2d. A high standard of scholarship. The prescribed
course must be mastered step by step. It is the desire of
this Institution to do nothing but honest and thorough
work, so that its diplomas will represent actual attainments
and accurate scholarship.

3d. The Bible a regular text-book. The object is to give
a correct and systematic knowledge of the Bible by regular
study, class-room drill and written reviews and exami-
nations.

4th. A Christian home. It is our desire and endeavor
that this home shall be characterized by a firm, but kind
and considerate discipline; constant regard for the health,
enjoyment and improvement of each pupil; refinement;

9

Hemes Scott
flnstitute,

inculcation and practice of Christian principles and the
cultivation of all the graces of Christian womanhood.

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

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

The school has been greatly blessed and prospered, and
enters upon its sixth year with every prospect of contin-
ued success.

*

^Location.

The Institute is located so nearly upon the crest of a
commanding ridge that the rain waters from one side of
the roof, following the natural water shed, find their desti-
nation in the Gulf of Mexico, and from the other flow
onward to the Atlantic.

The elevation of the main building is approximately 1050
feet above the sea level, and from its central tower is had
an inspiring view of the peaks of North Georgia and the
Blue Ridge Mountains. The climate is bracing and health-
ful; the drainage naturally perfect, and the water, the
purest freestone, uncontaminated by sewerage.

Decatur is six miles northeast of Atlanta, immediately
on the Georgia Railroad.

Its accessibility and nearness to 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 Ridge range of

10

Bonce Scott
institute.

mountains, and yet at an altitude far beyond the malarial
lowlands ot the South Atlantic and Gulf States, gives to
the Institute many of the pleasant and beneficial effects of
a delightful health resort. Parents residing in South Geor-
gia, Florida, South Alabama, Mississippi and other Gulf
States, will find for their daughters an atmosphere invigor-
ating and bracing, but not severe ; while others resident in
more northerly sections can escape the severities of a rig-
orous winter climate without encountering malarial or
enervating influences.

The village has telegraphic, telephonic, postal and express
facilities ; four white churches Presbyterian. Methodist,
Baptist and Episcopalian, with resident pastors.

It is also the seat of the Donald Fraser High School,
for boys, a preparatory school of high grade and under
superior management. It is located on the opposite side
of the village and over half a mile from the Institute.

The society is educated, refined and religious, and the
founders of this school believe its location to be an ideal one.

The Georgia Railroad has on sale commutation school
tickets to Decatur at greatly reduced rates from all stations
between Atlanta and Covington.

Buil&ings.

The Main Building, completed and occupied for the first
time in the fall of 1891, is a massive edifice, simple in
architecture, yet not lacking in impressiveness.

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 basement, besides the engine
room, electric light plant, laundry and kitchen annexes,
which are apart from the main building.

The entire building is heated and ventilated by the
indirect steam method, and lighted by electricity.

The building contains fifty sleeping apartments, accom-
modating two and four pupils each, and all with outside
windows ; over 500 feet of wide halls, with necessary class
rooms, parlors, offices and art studio. The School of
Music occupies 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 gallons, a large spring
near by, and a cistern with a capacity of 30,000 gallons.

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

The chambers are unusually large and arranged so as to
admit abundant sunlight, and in their construction especial
attention was given to securing perfect ventilation. The
furniture and appointments are homelike and comfortable,
and the building carpeted throughout. 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.

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 will be used exclusively
as an Infirmary in cases of sickness. The Infirmary is in
charge of the Intendant, who is in constant attendance in
cases of sickness.

Dr. Hunter P. Cooper, the attendant Physician, is in
telephonic communication with the Institute, visits the
school periodically, and in cases of illness is summoned
promptly.

The Trustees feel that they can conscientiously assure
parents that in cases of illness their daughters will receive
prompt and skillful medical attention and 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 charge
of the two dormitory floors, occupying the second and third
stories of the Main Building. She will at all times rigidly
inspect the rooms of the inmates, see that they are neatly
and properly kept in order, reporting any dereliction to
the Principal.

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

The Institute has its own steam laundry, supplied with

10

Bgnes Scott
flnstitute.

all needed appliances, in which all the laundry work of the
Institute, as well as that of the pupils, is done neatly and
cheaply.

The serious danger of the introduction of contagious and
infectious diseases by means of having this work in various
hands throughout the village 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 withdrawn, no portion of the fees
will be refunded unless withdrawal is necessitated by sick-
ness, the sufficiency of which to be judged of by the Insti-
tute Physician, or for other Providential reasons, to be
judged of by the Board of Trustees.

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

It is earnestly requested that parents will not interfere
with the studies of their daughters by withdrawing them
during the session to spend a week or so at home. Such
absences seriously interrupt the progress of the pupil, are
positively injurious to the classes thus broken up, and tend
to distract the whole school.

Money for books, music and incidental expenses cannot
be advanced ; a deposit of ten or fifteen dollars should be
made with the Principal 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 of the term. After
the expiration of two weeks from the first day, 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 pro-
tracted or aggravated sickness.

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

20

Bgnes Scott

The above regulations will be strictly enforced, and pat-
rons are requested not to ask any deviation therefrom.

discount.

When two or more boarding pupils are entered from the

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

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

given board and tuition in all regular courses, including the
general privileges of the Institute, for the School Year for
$165.00.

good in English and American Literature. To gain the
desired result in the former, pupils are taught the principles

26

that govern 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 page or
more in length, being required.

As the first step toward gaining the object of the Liter-
ature Course the student is required to study carefully the
works of such authors as will interest and give an insight
into the times of which they are representative. These
masterpieces are carefully and fully discussed in class. As
a second step towards the gaining of this object, at the
end of each session a course of instructive and pleasant
reading, outside of regular class work, is assigned each
class, to be reported upon at the end of the following ses-
sion. The courses for 1895-96 are as follows :

For tJie First Year :

David Copperfield.

Tale of Two Cities.

Vicar of Wakefield.

Silas Warner.

Ben Hur or The Prince of India.

Fort he Second Year:

1. The Coming of the Friars. Jessop.

First Year. Algebra through Radicals, Quadratic Equa-
tions, Ratio and Proportion, Arithmetical and Geometrical
Progression; Geometry, three books of Plane Geometry,
with numerous exercises for original solutions. This class
meets five times a week, (five hours.) It is found to be
necessary to emphasize the fact that the preparation essen-
tial for this class is a good knowledge of Arithmetic and of
Algebra to Equations of the second degree. The founda-
tion must be well laid, if success be expected in gaining
knowledge of Mathematics in the collegiate department.

Second Year. Geometry, Plane and Solid, with numer
ous exercises for original solutions. This class meets five
times a week, (five hours.)

Third Year. Algebra through the Binomial Theorem,

Plain and Spherical Trigonometry. The time required for
this class each week is four hours.

Fourth Yeaj^. Analytical Geometry. Arithmetic studied
from the teacher's standpoint. To pupils desiring to be
teachers, it is especially recommended that this class in
Arithmetic be taken. Time required each week for the
class, three hours,

TEXT-BOOKS.

Wentworth's Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and
Analytical Geometry.

Scbool of Sciences.

First Year. Geology (LeConte) and Mineralogy.

Mineralogy is taught without text books, with a view to
cultivating a habit of thinking and working bv bringing
the pupil in contact with facts by personal observation.
Thus a subject usually considered very technical is made
simple and practical, and any pupil of the collegiate depart-
ment is admitted to these exercises without regard to pre-
vious scientific qualifications.

Sceond Year. Zoology (Nicholson) and Botany (Camp-
bell).

Third Year. Physics (Gage).

Fourth Year. Chemistry (Williams) and Astronomy
(Young).

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

A good three-inch telescope is in use for astronomical

observations; White's Physiological Manikin for the study
of Physiology; a compound microscope magnifying 600
diameters for microscopic work in botany. Through the
kindness and generosity of Mr. N. P. Pratt, a mineralogical
cabinet of 300 choice specimens has been recently added
to the department, making it possible to carry on very
thorough work in dynamical and structural geology The
text-books used are selected with the view of giving all
so-called new topics full share of attention.

Scbool of tbe Bible.

This is a three years' course, two recitations a week. It
forms a necessary part of the graduate courses. The
objects of this course are:

1. To give a connected and systematic knowledge of the
history of the Kingdom of God as revealed in the Bible.
To know these facts in their order and relations is neces-
sary to any adequate understanding of the Christian religion.

2. To teach how to study the Bible.

3. To glorify God in exalting and honoring His word.
The Bible is constantly held up as the inspired word of
God and the authoritative revelation of His will.

The methods used to attain these objects are regular
recitations and class-room drill, with intermediate and final
written examinations.

The places and events in the history are located ; suffi-
cient contemporaneous history is taught to give a clear
understanding of Biblical history.

The student is also drilled from time to time in the
analysis of Books of the Bible, and in the analysis of
chapters.

30

Course of
ffnstruction.

The course is arranged as follows :

First Year. Creation to Kingdom ; Syllabus O. T. His-
tory, Price ; Manual of Biblical Geography, Hurlbut ; Man-
ual of Bible History, Blaikie.

Second Year. Old Testament completed ; same text-
books.

Third Year. New Testament; Studies in the Book,
Weidner; Hurlbut and Blaikie, continued; Stalker's Life
of Paul ; Evidences of Christianity, Alexander.

The Bible itself is the main text-book throughout the
course. Each student should be supplied with a good copy
of the Revised version.

All students in the Preparatory and Collegiate depart-
ments who do not take the regular Bible course are required
to recite one lesson per week in Hurlbut's "Studies in the
Four Gospels."

#

Scbool ot Ibistors.

In this department effort is made to arouse in the pupil
enthusiasm and love for the study of History and to teach

aged to avail themselves of this opportunity to do inde-
pendent work.

First Year. Oriental Nations and Greece, Myers; Rome,

the third year there is a weekly lesson in current events.
Pupils are advised to study an elementary history of Greece,
of Rome, and of England before undertaking the course
prescribed above.

Scfoool of flDoral ano flDental Sciences.

ADVANCED CLASSES.

Candidates for the higher classes will be examined on
the subjects previously studied by the class which they
propose to enter.

General Examinations.

In addition to frequent reviews and partial examinations
(usually written), two general examinations will be held
every year.

The first, or intermediate, at the end of the first term,
and embracing the studies of the term.

The second, or final, at the end of the second term, on
all the studies of the session.

Both of these examinations are conducted in writing, and
are thorough and comprehensive.

Parents are earnestly requested to consult with the Prin-
cipal before excusing their daughters from examinations.

Frequent and unnecessary excuses retard both the intel-
lectual and moral growth.

While these examinations are thorough and comprehen-
sive, 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.

IReports.

Reports of class standing, attendance, conduct, etc., are im-
partially prepared and sent to parents or guardians quarterly.

The library now contains about 1,000 volumes, selected
with care and with a view to the needs of pupils. It in-
cludes works of history, standard fiction, poetry, biography,
travels, essays, and treatises upon literature, the classics,
Biblical 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 periodicals, and receives regularly the following
magazines and papers, to-wit :

Harper's Monthly Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Popular
Science Monthly, The Illustrated London News, Century
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 Chatauquean, Scribner's Magazine, The New York
Observer, The Christian Observer, The Southern Presby-
terian, 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 Boarding
Pupils every afternoon, except on Sundays.

Societies.

The Mnemosynean Society is a literary society organized
in October, 1891, and has a large and active membership.
The object of this organization is to foster a taste for polite

46

(Seneral

literature and to acquire on the part of its members famil-
iarity with standard authors, musicians and artists. Read-
ings, recitations, discussions, essays and musical numbers
constitute its programme. Its members are actively and
successfully engaged in accumulating a library of standard
books. This Society also publishes the " Mnemosynean
Monthly," which has a large circulation among the pupils
and friends of the Institute.

Xectures, Concerts, Etc.

A number of lectures upon a variety of topics, such as
foreign travel, 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 Atlanta. The nearness
of Decatur to the city, and the frequent and convenient
schedules on the electric and Georgia railroads, make at-
tendance thereon easy and pleasant. Pupils are thus allowed
to enjoy rare and instructive opportunities in this direction,
to be obtained only in large cities. Such visits are not per-
mitted 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.

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 legacy of $5,000.

47

General

Information,

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 girls of Presbyterian parents,
who are unable to provide a collegiate education for their
daughters," the same to be permanently invested and the
interest only to be used.

The scholarships under this fund are annually awarded
by the Trustees, as directed in Mr. Moore's will.

IReligious features.

The formation and development of Christian character
constitute one of the great objects of this Institute. The
religious features of the school have, therefore, been very
carefully considered.

The daily sessions are opened with religious exercises
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 of
the week for spiritual culture, and is devoted entirely to
the religious training of the pupils.

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

THE AGNES SCOTT CHRISTIAN BAND,

constituted of boarding pupils, meets every Sabbath after-
noon. Its object is Christian edification and usefulness.
The exercises are conducted by the members according to
a programme previously arranged by the devotional com-
mittee.

48

General

flnformation.

Membership in the Band is entirely optional, but nearly
all of 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.

Social ^Features.

The teachers and pupils are members of the same house-
hold and mingle on terms of most intimate social inter-
course, and constant and careful effort is made to develop
and cultivate the social character and graces of speech and
conduct, the ornaments of true womanhood.

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

Every effort is made to give to the Institute the character
of a home and to cause the pupils to feel at homa.
