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. ]3 Bones Scott Unstitutc. 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. : - j &|a J $a&" ' &&!' 1* INSTITUTE SPRING AND PUMP HOUSE. 14 Hemes Scott Unstitutc. A watchman is on duty all night, and his visits at numerous stations throughout the building and around the premises are registered by an electric watchman's clock. -;- Boarfcing department.] This department is under the superintendence of the Matron, who gives to the housekeeping her constant per- sonal attention. SLEEPING APARTMENT FOR FOUR PUPILS. 15 Bonce Scott 1!nstitutt\ 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.

For convenience of payment by patrons, the School Year is divided into quarters: The First Quarter ends November 9th, 1895. The Second Quarter ends January 14th, 1896. The Third Quarter ends March 22nd, 1896. The Fourth Quarter ends May 27th, 1896. 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. 19 Hemes Scott flnetitute. 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 IFnstitute, 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 same family, a discount of ten per cent, on their total bills is allowed. Wheu two or more day pupils are entered from 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 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. Ministerial IRates. Daughters of Ministers, engaged in their callings, are given board and tuition in all regular courses, including the general privileges of the Institute, for the School Year for $165.00. Medical fee, laundry and special studies at same rates as other patrons. A discount of 10 per cent, on their total bills is given Day Pupils, the daughters of Ministers engaged in their callings. The discount given for two or more pupils from one family does not apply to pupils receiving ministerial rates. 21 Course of primary ^Department. TEXT-BOOKS. FIRST YEAR. Reading. From the blackboard.

(Elective,) Selections from the Lake School Poets and the Brownings. The object of the English Course is two-fold, viz: To train pupils to write not only correctly, but in a clear and impres- sive manner; and to create in them a desire to read what is good in English and American Literature. To gain the desired result in the former, pupils are taught the principles 26 Course of Instruction, 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. 2. Voyages and Travels. Sir John Mandeville. 3. Three of Shakespeare's Plays. 4. The Makers of Florence. Mrs. Olip/iaut. a. Dante. b. Saronaerla. 5. Hypatia.

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, Indeterminate Crefficients and Theory of Logarithms; 28 Course of Instruction, 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 29 Course of (Instruction, 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 the best methods of pursuing it. Free access to the works of the library is allowed to all pupils, and they are encour- aged to avail themselves of this opportunity to do inde- pendent work. First Year. Oriental Nations and Greece, Myers; Rome, Myers. Mythology by topical study. Frequent reference is made to Plutarch's Lives, Ma- haffey's Old Greek Life, Wilkie's Roman Antiquities, and to standard historians. Second Year. Important features of Madioeval History, Myers. Outline of Modern European History, Myers. During the second term especial study is devoted to the 33 Course of Unstructiom period of the Reformation ; the French Revolution and its effect upon the political history of Europe ; the Rise of the German Empire. Third Year. History of England, Montgomery; 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 frequently required, and during 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. The course of study 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 Year.- -Psychology, Hopkins; Logic; Pedagogy. Second Year. Ethics, Hopkins; Pedagogy. Lectures, discussions and library work will be combined with the study of the text-books. Scbool of Xatin. Appreciating the value of the mental discipline to be obtained by a thorough mastery of the principles of the language, students are required to study the characteristics of style, and the dependence of the English language upon the Latin. Books of reference treating upon the contempo- 34 Course of Instruction* raneous history 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 department. The entrance examinations serve the purpose of testing the applicant's knowledge 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. First Year. Caesar, Books I-IV. Special attention is given to Etymology and Syntax, and to the study of Geography and History as related to the text. Second Year. Virgil, ^Eneid, Books I-IV. Latin Prose Composition. With the study of this year are added Mythology, Versi- fication, and the various peculiarities of poetical construc- tion, including the rules of prosody, and the scanning of dactylic hexameter. Written abstracts of selected portions of the story are required, and attention is also given to the rhetorical figures of the poem. Third Year. Cicero's Orations; Horace ; Selected Odes and Epistles. Latin Prose Composition continued. In translation, accuracy of expression is required, in order that the author's meaning may be expressed in good English. Idiomatic peculiarities are carefully studied. Fourth Year. Livy, Book XXL, Tacitus, Germania, Agricola or De Amicita. The study of Latin Grammar and composition are con- tinued throughout the course. The Allen and Greenough series will be used.

The Institute Gymnasium 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 supply herself with a suit of grey flannel blouse and divided skirt and Gymnasium shoes. The Physical Culture suit can be obtained in Decatur at a total cost of about five dollars, for material and making. 42 (Seneral Unformation. Homission of Stubents to tfoe Collegiate department.

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. 44 General information. HMplomas. A student who completes satisfactorily the Literary, the Scientific or the Classical Course of study receives a diploma with the title "Graduate." A student who finishes satisfactorily the Full Course of study receives a diploma with the title "Full Graduate," and also a stat medal. Ceitficates of Proficiency are given to those pupils who complete satisfactorily the course of study prescribed in any school. A grade mark or percentage of at least 80 in each school must be obtained to entitle a pupil to a Diploma or to a Certificate of Proficiency in any particular school, or to pass the pupil from a lower to a higher 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 Commencement Day "The Blue List." This List is in the nature of a "roll of honor," and con- tains the name of all pupils who have obtained an average mark of 80 or higher on their year's work, in their respect- ive classes, and are consequently passed to the higher classes. Those pupils whose average is above 90 are distinguished, and their names are printed on " The Blue List " with numbers preceding, which indicate the order of their class standing, and they also receive certificates of distinction; the others are placed in alphabetical order. The " Blue List " also contains the names of all gradu- ates, medalists, etc. 45 (Sencral Unformation. Xibran? ano IReafclng IRoom. 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 IFnformatton, 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. # XTbe Mm. B. /iDoorc Scbolarsbip ffuno. 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. eeneral flnformation. Each boarder must furnish two pairs of sheets, two pairs of pillow cases, six table napkins, six towels, napkin ring, one teaspoon, gossamer, umbrella and one pair rubber shoes. The pillow cases should be 35x22 inches. Each article should be marked with name of owner, as should also be trunks, so as to save confusion in the deliv- 5 49 General Information. ery of baggage at the opening of the session. Parents will please see to these requirements before their daughters leave home. Boarders are required to attend services at the Presby- terian Church every Sabbath morning, when the weather is not too inclement, under charge 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 charge of a teacher. Boarders are required to be punctual at meals, and no one will be excused except in case of sickness. Perfect neatness in dress in required at all meals. No pupil is allowed to appear in a wrapper out of her chamber. Pupils are not allowed to puschase 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 discouraged. 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 ; nor are they allowed to make any visits except by the written request of parents, and then only at the discretion of the Principal. Visitors will not be received during school or study hours, nor the visits of young men at any time. 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 indigestion. Pupils are permitted to correspond only with such gen- tlemen as are specially named in writing by parents. 50 (Beneral IFnformafion, Pupils are allowed to carry ink to their rooms only in " non-spilling inkstands." Unless specially excused, pupils must repair to the Study Hall, at 7 p. m. ; at 9:30 o'clock they must prepare for retir- ing, and at ten o'clock the house must be quiet. Indiscriminate novel reading is prohibited. Pupils are not allowed to leave the grounds without per- mission, nor to appear on the streets unless accompanied by a teacher. Gentlemen from the homes of pupils are not received unless they bring letters of introduction to the Principal from parents or guardians. Pupils are not allowed to borrow money, jewelry, or books, nor wear the clothing of others, neither will the exchanging of clothing be permitted. Extravagance in dress is discouraged, and parents will confer a favor by consulting simplicity and economy in the attire of their daughters. The following violations of the laws of health are pro- hibited : Eating imprudently at night ; wearing thin, low shoes in cold weather ; going without wraps or over-shoes; sitting on the ground, and walking out of doors with un- covered heads ; and the too early removal of flannels or neglect to put them on at the approach of cold weather. The Institute has ample halls, verandahs and grounds, and pupils will be required to take sufficient exercise. The rooms of the Institute are carpeted and comfortably furnished, and are thoroughly warmed and ventilated. The occupants of each room are required to keep it in order, and all rooms are daily inspected, and negligence in this respect is reported to the Principal. The rooms are never crowded ; they are constructed for two, three, and a few for four occupants, and in no instance w'll they be crowded beyond their capacity for health and comfort. General "(Information. Rooms are assigned in the order of application for entrance. Occasional holidays, according to the needs of the pupils, and the judgment of the Faculty, will be given. The Principal, and most of the Teachers, reside in the main building, and the entire supervision of every depart- ment of the Institute is vested in the Principal. The President of the Board of Trustees visits the School almost daily, and at all times advises with the Principal. Day pupils, or pupils taking special courses and not resident in the Institute, will have access only to the rooms and exercises connected with their studies, unless by special permission, nor will they be allowed to visit boarding pupils in their rooms. Parents cannot give their daughters permission 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. Communications respecting pupils should be addressed directly to the Principal. For repeated violations of the rules, parents will be requested to take their daughters home. The proper address for telegrams and letters is in care Agnes Scott Institute, Decatur, Ga. Remittances of money should be by postoffice order, registered letter, New York check, or express, to H. J. Williams, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer, Decatur, Ga., or payments in person to the Principal. Letters respecting any of the departments of instruction, the admission and dismission of pupils, their studies, progress, personal welfare, health, etc., should be addressed to the Principal. Requests for catalogues should be addressed to the Sec- retary and Treasurer until September ist ; after that date to the Principal. 52 IRccjistcr of pupils. Name.
