LOCATION.

LsGrange is located seventy-one miles southwest of Atlanta, on
the Atlanta &West Point Railroad. There an some facts con-
nected "i'l> t lii^ location thai we think should I ruddered.

Many Bouthern girls have been senl so tar North to be educated,

ti, a t their stitutions have been completely broken down by the

severity of the oHmate, and they have returned boi nnrmed

invalids, subject to attacks of acute rheumatism, etc. Others
have gone BO far South as to fall into the malarial regions, an<|

their health lias I. n undermine.! by chills and fever. We arc

located above the Pine mountain range, upon a high, rolling
country, and are not liable to snlYer from either of theeedaagets,
LaOrango bas i>een recognised ss an educational centre for man j
years. It is true her schools were destroyed by tire, and Mm
country devastated hv war: but we rejoice to know that she h
fast regaining her former proud position in this respect.

This Institution graduated its first olass in lH4t>, and since that
time has sent fortli hundreds from its classic walls to mould and
bless soviet y.

LOCATION OF COLLEGE.

The College is loeated on a high eminenoe oVeriooklng thi
beautiful city of LaQrange and the surrounding country ; remote
from the stir of the city, and yet suffidentlj Dear to church sad
the conveniences of business.

THE BUILDINGS.

Oneof the buildings is of brick, the other of brick and Stone,
both with tin roofs. The main building is 60x110 feet, two storlet
high. In it there are four recitation rooms S6X60 feet, separated
by wide halls crossing each other in the centre, thereby affording

free circulation of air and perfect ventilation. On the a od

floor there is a magnifioent ohapel 60x100 feel with capacity is

hold l,.")iHt persons. Uuek of the stage are four music p B, an!

the art gallery, the Iranian hall, library and reading rooms,
making altogether one of the mosl capacious and well arranged
buildings for school purposes In the South. These buildings win
both be completed by the opening of the next term. TbeaudJ<
eneeat the last commencement, with a generosity thai surprised
the best friends of the College, raised an amount sufficient, it is
thought, to complete the building. When this is done we shall
have the best eollege buildings in the Southern States. The
grounds are beautifully terraced in front, and it Is the purpOM
of those in eharge to continue to beautify until S more lovely spot
cannot be foued. The college ground" i .itain sight and 0M>

CALENDAR

There will ! but one term <>f ten scholastic months, oom-
aameing August 90, 1919, ami oloaing the second Wednesday in
jane, 1880 which will be eommenoemeni day. There will be a
(inter recess from the Friday preceding Christmas day, and ex-
landing t > the second Wednesday in January following. All
aharges will be made for the scholastic year; nay ;.ii|iii with-
drawing, except In caees of protracted sickness, will be charged

TO THE PATHOS AND THE PUBLIC.

While we do not claim to have the heal school in the South,
set we think re can offer advantages Inferior to no Institation
nf similar grade, and superior to many, a large amount of
aioney has already been expended on the buildings and grounds,
and the Board .of Trustees an' determined to continue until <-v-
erything is completed,

The LaOrange Female (''.lie-.- is the property in fee simple or
tin- North Qeorgia Conference, and la, in fact, the onl] female
aolleg< owned by that body; we therefore have tin- rirst claim
apon tin' Hethodiata of this section, Tin' daughters of ail regu-
lar mlnisteta air reoeived in tin- Literary Department free of
oharge.

We hope parents ami guardiaaa will read oarefulli the follow-
ag suggestions upon punctuality : No pupil can be properly ed-
aoated who <1<><\s not attend aohooi regularly. It demoralizes
rinsrifs ami retards t 1 1- progress of good scholars, to have Indif-
brent pupils coming in after the lesson has been partly recited.
Ifach time which should be used In advancing the clasa hi con.
mmed by tin- teacher in repeating what baa already been gone
over, to those who might have been present at the proper tine.

Parent.-, and teachers must b .-workers in training the young;

it is your duty to see that your children are proi Ided with all the
books aeceaenr) to prosecute their studies thai thej are at
Bshool regularly and in time; it is ours to see that their time is
profitably employed while in school. We do not desire the pat-
ronage of any who cannot control their children in this respect,
nr we feel that such pupils are more trouble than profit. It!
the next place, we earnestly request parents not to interfere with
Ike government of the school by requesting us to allow their
laughters privileges which are forbidden by our rules. If yon
have confidence enough to entrust your daughters to our oare
please allow us to govern them, ami when vou become sat-
Med that your confidence has been misplaced, it Is your right,
say more, your duty to withdraw them.

GOVERNMENT.

Combined with moml and religion* influence, a system of merg
and demerit will be maintained and enforced In the government
of each student Our discipline will be mild, but strict and ha.

partial.

All pnpito are required to be In their placet punctually at the
ringing "f the bell. Absence and tardlneas will not be allowed
without a good excuse. Whenevernpupil hall absent herself sat
will not be allowed to go on with heroism until she makes op
the lessons lost during that absence. Pnplls leaving school be-
fore the close of the session will be required, on the opening of
the next, to make up H lessons lost, or be placed In the next
lower class, Pupils will not be allowed to leave the sohool for
the purpose of attending to anything else, nor leave the college
yard daring reoeaswKhont permission. No pupil who repeatedl]
disregards the raid will be allowed to remain In the school.

SCHOLARSHIP AND HONORS.

areolars will be sent to patrons at the mid dle an d close ol
each term, showing the grade of scholarship, deportment, attsn-

dan< tc., of each pupil. The grade runs from one to ten, tea

being the maximum. No pupil enu rise to higher class whom
average grade fulls below Ave si the and of the roar. The papi
In the Senior Class securing the highest average at the end ol
the full course will receive the fast honor and be entitled to Oh
valedictory; the pupil securing the second highest average will
receive the second honor and be entitled to the salutatory.

Many lohools decline to take the risk to confer honors, tearing
they may give dissatisfaction. We contend that it is the right of
any pupil to demand hoi position in her elaas, and it la due taa
Barents to give the daughter all the honors she may win by okas
attention to study, and a strict observance of the regulation^
the institution. We know of no Incentive to study equal to this
Every teacher is required to keep a dally record of each recita-
tion. The report contains an average of these recitations. A
oopyof the general average is kept until the close of the course,
and from this the result is obtained. When a pupil takes a study
not in the regular course, it is not taken Into the general average,
as the competition would not be equal; a girl cannot compen
with another in a study she does not pursue.

COURSE OF STUDY.

There are seven classes in the school and ooUege ; the following
course of study has been adopted and will be carried out strictly.
All the studies not marked optional must be completed to secure
graduation.

Theabovi ores of study must be completed to entitle the pu-
pil to graduation. Emm pupU, deserving graduation, most com.
ptote the oourse either in Latin or French. Young ladies will }?
received as Irregulars, if th.-ir parents or guardians desire thesj
to pursue a partial oourse; <>r, if lessons on desired in any of
the ornamental branches, such lessons will be given at the rega
iar charges. All boarders al die college must conform to therun
and regulations of the institution. We cannot receive parki
boarders.

CALISTHENICS.

"A sound mind in a sound body." u an an old maxim, Done Um
less true on account of age. To secure this we have a most S
eomplished teacher. Hiss Jennie MeFnil. in this department,
who gives daily Instruction in the use of the rands, rings, dumb
bells and manning, bee of charge. The muscular development
to her puplte has been most gratifying to their parents. Many
who have been sent to us almost deformed by oareless carriage,
ate., bare by constant drilling been made erect, and their musca-
lar power so developed as to give them a power <>r endurance at
most wonderful. These exercises are all conducted by mtuie,
the time muse therefore be perfect, giving the class the additional
advantage of training in time. The smaller children are trained
in muscular action, keeping time by song. This is a nest valua-
ble exercise in developing the physical powers, and also in train-
ing the voice.

LITERARY SOCIETY.

The Iranian Society is accomplishing much in the College.
Usually two societies exist be institutions of this class t<> encouA
a ge rivalry, but unfortunately this rivalry, particularly amooj
girls, generates bitterness, which we hope to avoid by having
but one. The Society meets Friday afternoon, and the exerctae
consist of readings, perusals, recitations, essays, &c., in which
all take part. The young ladies have commenced to collect I
Library and are much gratified at their stress so far. Any con-
tributions of books or money will be thankfully received.

MISK DI.I'Al'.TMKM

This department to under the direct control "f lira. Lathrop,
who to a South Carolinian bj birth, with all the energy, pei

France etc., | nliartothat people, she was educated in Hew

lark under the best masters . and after having a thorough knowl-

edge d her ability since her com Hon with the College, we feel

sohesitanc) In saying that she is one of the must oompetent,
prompt, faithful and untiring music- teachers we have ever
known. She teaches her puplla to rely ui>n themselves, and
thus presents them upon public a-i"ns. she is a most excel-
lent trainer >d' the voice, as our recent commencement abundant-
ly demonstrated. If parents are seeking a music ncl I where

their daughters will be thoroughly taught, we know of bo better
teacher than Mrs. Lathrop. This department is ftrrntohed with

all n ssan Instruments and as many assistants as may be

seeded, [n conclusion we wish to say, that this institution has
graduated in the last two years, some of the best per fur men and
angers (considering their age) In the State.

DEPARTMENT OF TINK AIM'S
In this department, we claim equality with the best.
Jennie McFail has made painting and

branches, almost s lifetime study. She commenced In her tent!

year under 01 f the best teachers In the State, aod has devoted

a part of her time to teaching and studying, up to the present,
Her specimens and those of her pupils are her best testimo-
nial*, Mrs. Ifayson will (rive lessons In was In all Its branches,
also in spatterwork, rustic work, tec, Lace irork and Umm
needle work, will also be taught The Trustees ii< >i to ham
the magnificent art gallefS oompleted bj theopeningof thenexl

term. Ever] young lad] should learn 01 r more of these bea*

tiful arts ; she may amuse herself, manufacture her own orna-
ments, or, if neoessitj should require, make articles of value,aad
thereb] screen herself from more menial labor,

DBE88.

Neatness and economy in dress will be taught as an essential
element ofa good eduoation, Ho uniform will be required, \\v
think that any attempt to fores upon young todies uniformitj
hi dress is opposed to economy, because it forces them to lay
aside all the] have on hand, and begin "de novo." ('alien ,,f
any color or texture and white aprons are generally worn by tin
pirls of the oollege during the week, and one or two nice dream
l for the Sabbath will be all they need.

EXAMINATIONS

A class having oompleted and reviewed a study is at once ex-
amined in writing, and the papers taken charge of bj the teach-
er of that department. At the ch.se of the year, these papen
are examined by the committee appointed by the North Georgia
Conference, and asimihy* committee appointed by the President of
the board of Trustees. No pupil can graduate or rise t" high-
er class, who fails to n ive a recommendation from this doubts'

committee to I he board of Trustees, and she must receive the en-
dorsement of the board, before the President will advance her.
This nde secures our patrons against Imposition, and also keep
out of our classes unprepared members. As elsewhere stated

the irse of studi must be thoroughly completed to secure

graduation, and the above to the means i>\ whieh we arrive si
the toot.

tBEGTJLABS

We receive pupils as Irregulars. Such pupils can take an]
part of the cot, rse desired. Many young ladles are teaching,
who find themselves deficient In some branches. We have re-
ceived such pupils and given them special attention, either in
tlie class room, or privately and in tliis way, in a few month-.
they are fully prepared for their work. Such pupils are very
valuable to us, and we hope to have more of them. Their intlu-
enoe over their younger sisters is ver] marked. This, tee think,
to tfae-ealy Resident or Post-Qraduate course that can be ns*
oei sfully carried out.

hinws as are useleaa or hurtful to them. We request those

cum a intu without their presence. We have seen the evil of

thi. liberty.

VISITING COMMITTEE.

The Visiting Committee of 1879 appoin ted by the presiding Blah,

Hunnieatt This College is thepropertj of the North Georgsj

BOABDING DEPARTMENT.

Each room la furnished with a nl x>ttage set, consisting of

two bedsteads, bureau with four drawers (one r< i- each of the in-
mates of the room) washstand, table, mattresses and a folding
screen. Each boarder must furnish one pair blankets ! ooib.
f urts, one pair sheets, one pair pillow oases, one coverlet ot
spread, balfdoxen towels. Neat and reliable chambermaids an
furnished to do the drudgery, and thus aid the \"iin- ladies in
keeping their rooms in perfect order. The Matron will Imped
the rooms dallv, and at the close of each term, will pay a pre.
mlum of 15.00 to the girls keeping the neatest and mostorderlj
room.

OBJECT TEACHIIIO.

No plan of teaching is so an .-sfui among the smaller chil-
dren as otiji'ct teaching' and we And by experience that tat
older classes are very much benefitted bj this plan, but mow
largi ly by demonstration. Whatever is demonstrated t<> th-
class is usually retained. This Is clearly, shown in the examina-
tions. The professors will all be Furnished with neoessarj appara-
tus, for object jteaohlng and demonstration. This kind el
Instruction partakes largely "f the praetiaal, and in thi< sn
practioabillty is the watchword.

HULKS OF THE BOARDING HOUSE.

The young ladles are not alii wed to receive company, yet oat
rules are not so stringent as to forbid them speaking to visiton
or strangers, conducting them to the President's office, and
treating them with the civility expected of a young lad) at home,

It is th< nstant study of those in charge, to make thi Ilegt

boarding house home-like in all Its app dntraents. The Matron
provides lunch for the boarders between meals, and it is not un-
usual to the girls passing aboul the college with lunch in

their hands Just as they do at home. All the Inmates are
quired to attend the daily morning and evening devotions of the
family, and to attend Babbath-sohool and preaching Sabbati
morning, attendance at night Is optional. No pupil Is allowed
tu leave the college grounds at any time without a teacher. East
pupil must he in her seat at the table in three minutes after the
ringing of the bell, study hours at nipht commence at seven
and close at nine : no talking allowed during these hours in tin-

[oerding bouse, baa i-'-'-n d h admired bj - visitors mi') en-

j,, v .mI b) the Inmates. Each boarder i- ma<l<' t<> feel thai she at i
part 'r the family, and responsible in tome measure, for the sue-
failure of everything o o n ne eted with the house.

(ill! SYSTEM.

mi- i- strictly the college tyatem <>i teaching. The ela
ar.' all regularly formed, and a teacher for each department with

lieiiarate i m. We think tliis plan possesses many advan-

',.,,_,,... over the grade system. In the first place, each teacher baa
^govern while the class is reciting; tin- often oonfoses the
teacher and <listra<ts the --la. We have a governess, whose
fcglnese it i- t" keep order. In the second piece, it is fad reo-
goized by all educators, thai no teacher '-an Instruct equally

mil in nil branches; we suoc I beat, both in learning ami in

iiii|.aitiir.' to others that braaeh of stud) we enjoy most s<nn<'
,,f ,,,,,- most successful teachers of languages, would fail as teach-
Pr -,.r mathematics, and vice rersa. Our aim is to secure for each
branch "ii.- who lias made that s specialty. The adoption of any

jtner metho I Is to ,'.. bach t.. the oW-fleld sol I. which :

f our so-called colleges have done. The idea thai one person

ehools working under college charters should be required bj
astute, either to adopt college methods, or surrender their ohar-

Many parents have I n duiied by these Institutions, nod

kence the idea that ever) Itttletown In the country can support
I female college has well nigh broken down t)- whole system,
ff e rejoice to know that the people arc now seeking for those

mbject ; our reflections In regard lathis matter have i n seek-

kg an outlet for some time.

In the first place, we have sag t schools In Georgia, as can

be found In the Dotted st.-iT.-~. ThU li a broad assertion, bu1 at
mean everything we say. Wewouldask in what deitartment ol
life are we exoelled f and it i- a tact thnl moat of our great met.
and great women were educated In the State; we will not cafl

names, but lid, if necessary, n i- important that we shook)

be educated among those with whom we <-\\ t to live, l hava

been led Into this line of thought bya remark a lady mads ;it
(i samp-meeting.' Many matrons met there yearl) to live over
their school-days, and renew earl) Friendship, ha- Ing beenedu-
oated at the same school. The lad) referred to, said that It sj<
ways made her feel tad and lonely, as sin- had never met "in- trf
bar oollege friends upon that encampment, notwithstanding >\w
was reared In thai nelghborh<jod. To ! a stranger at hoaa
must be, Indeed, a sad feeling. Jfel sin- baa sent ber daughtei to
the same sohool in which she waa educated, forcing upon her the
same loneliness complained of i>> herself.

What Is to be gained b) going abroad to I ducated? If I in-

tended to live In Prance, I would go to Prance to be educated; or,
if I expected to live in the North, I would go there and prepare
for that section ; but as I expect to make m) home in the South,
the home of my fathers, fur which some of them gave up th-ir

lives, I prefer to be educated with my own i pie ami give the

! n. tit of what [.have t<> spend upon the substantial par! of my
education to them. How true it is thai " distance lends enchant-
ment!" I have heard of a gentleman whoonoehad charge of i
school in our State, who was so unlit for the position In every re-
spect that he had to give up the school during the term and leavs
the State. Hi- has opened school In another State and man) of
our Georgia girls Hook to his school yearly, and their parents
think that their daughters' diploma would be worthless without
his signature, " Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that
h<- hath grown so great t"

Many say: "I want my daughter to travel." it seams to u

that travelling upon a railroad across tl ountry at the present

rate of travel would he worth little unless the foundation is laid
at home, and then, if parents have the desire and means, theb
daughters will only be better pre]>ared to enjoy whatever they
ma) see ; or, if they desire to send their daughters to a finishing
school in some large city, after their graduation, weseenoob-
jeciion to that course. We have in mind a young lady who grad-
uated in our school and who is now in the most select and fash-
ionable sohool it) New York City. She has only been then- Bit
months and yet the teachers say she is the most accomplished
scholar in the school. She laid the foundation of her education
in tlie LaGrange Female Collage, and we commend this college
to all who desire to have their daughters thoroughly educated
and well cared for.

We have in in favored b) the \i-iiint; committee, Bevs. W. F.
Olenn, II II Parka, and J. B. Hunoioutt, with an account of the
[^Grange Female College and its commencement, Their r> i mal
"Bei>ort," as a visiting committee, thej will doubtless make to
tlir North Georgia Conference. We ^i\<' below the items <>f tps-
,-ial general interest :

"The examination was conduotedin writing. The paper* sub-
mitt' 'l to the committee were carefully and minutely considered.
The questions od the various branches of -tuily took a wide
range and were calculated to tost severely the scholarship of each
itudent. To say that we were pleased with tin- result would be
sing too mild a term, We were surprised and gratified at the
aim ii 'In M evidence these papers afforded of close study, habits

of industry, and su ssful cultivation of the powers of reasoning

sod analysis. The marked lndividualit) of thought and origi-

isiitj of expression were esj tally noticeable. Those girls bad

evidently been trained to think for themselves, rely upon their
own resources, and, what i- "I equal imjtortance, to write Intelli-
gent!) what they had learned. We also gave close attention to
the publie exercises of the commencement and the genera] be-
havior of the students, The expectations justified by their pa-
ters were not disap]K>lnted bj their performances. The entire
occasion deeply impressed us with the fitness of President May-
ton, and his assistants, for their responsible and delicate duties.

"We beg leave to refer briefly to the material condition <>f this
oollege. What was a few years agon mass of weather-beaten un-
Inished walls, is now a magnificent, Imposing structure, fitted
hieverj waj for its purpose. It was then bowed beneath a load
of debt ; now it is out of debt, with means In hand to complete
the work. K splendid apparatus will, in the near future, assist
the faculty In elucidating the mysteries and beauties of nature's
arcana. For this bappj condition of affairs, this Conference is
lin' President Mayson and the board of trustees, a debt of grati-
tude which can only be discharged by hearty rapport and a lib-
era! patronage.

"The locatiot of this, the only college this Conference owns, la
i very happy one. LaOrange Is a beautiful oRy, noted for its
pure air and salubrious climate, as arell as for Its refined society.
The religious atmosphere of the College is decided and refresh-
bjg. The future of thl Institution is very encouraging. To her
oomplete Bucoess we ask you to join In our hearty amen."

THE LAOBAHGE FEMALE COLLEGE.

(VMS KM I.uoriiw BSportW, July IT. urn

go ottisen of LaOrange or friend of education can look upoa
the LaOrange Female College without feeltngsol pride and grat
iflcatlon. It was established and chartered in i*?i. a time whea

years of prosperity bad made plethoric tl iffera of the peopk

in this part of Georgia, after years of onexampled prosperity.the
buildlnga caught ftre.andlnafew hours It wasa maasof smoulder-
ing ruins. With a determination and a liberalitj ever character-
istic of the people of LaOrange, they began a new building

on an enlarged plan onetbat would be capable of a< mmodat-

ing tlic Increased patronage that was in sight, and that would bt
commensurate with the enlarged views and Influence which
the town of LaOrange had assumed.

The boarding-house was finished, and the new college build-
ing was begun, and pro gressed bo far as to have the roof pui oa.
By some untoward accident, the root' fell in, and thus i aased i
backed at s most critloal period of it- history. By this tune oat
people had plunged headlong Into the civil war which raged so
disastrously for four years, and every project tor public improve,
men) had eeaeed. Ho branch of industry was engaged in exoept
sueh aa wen' Immediately connected with the sustenance of the
people and the prosecution of the war. The minds of the people
were appalled and their hearts deadensjd > the state of siege to
which our countrj was subjected ; by the ever-recurring battles
with their awful destruction of human life, and by the woe which
the angel of death was carrying to every hdnmhold in the land.
There was no time to think of building oolltS"*
/ And so the unfinished, uncovered walls sto< I til" th<j war
closed. Then, the people had lost so heavily in tiie destruction
and depreciation of property, that they were not aide to finish
the w.uk they had begun. The school did not die ; it was cant
ed on, after a fashion, in the boarding-house, until the beginning
of 1875. The North Georgia Conference, at its session in Deoeav
ber, 1874, appointed as President of the college, Rev. J. R.May-

fan, a gentleman who had buen connected wit ! the Institution
in the days of it- ante-bellum prosperity. He bad not only bees
Intensively connected with educational enterprises, but he bad
keen, in former da) -, a contractor, and was thoroughly acqualnt-
ld with the science of building. He was appointed president of
tin- LaGrange Female College to rebuild it.

Coming to LaOrange, be found the boarding-house habitable ;
lint of the main building there was nothing save the bare, un-
Bghtly walls, which bad been exposed, for thirteen years, to the
leather, and which, standing upon their lofty site, had frowned
ipon the commnnitj like the genius of misfortune, and mocked
steverj attempt of the city to regain it.s former prosi>ertty. His
ians were soon formed. He submitted them to the trustees
him l others of the place, and their extreme praetieability seated

mi enthusiasm in regard tii 'liege, and made it comparatively

an easy matter to obtain by subscription the funds Deeded to do
tin- work.

The debts against the institution had all been paid, and the
Money that was raised was applied directly to the building.
Work was begun early in March 1875, and when the ftrei sub-

lertptlon was exhausted, another was obtained. Th tmpletion

has not all attempted at oaee; but one ]>art of the work was
planned and performed, and then another, and another, and so

II sometimes by a large amount and sometimes by pi meal

until comparatively little remained tobedone. The friends of
the college themselves were astonished, on Inspection, at the
mount thai had been accomplished.

At the last commencement, Rer. W. H. Potter, D. I)., by re-
quest of the Trustees, made an appeal to the audience for means

to complete tl ollege to give the finishing touches. This was

the first time a collection was taken at commencement, ami it

mu successful. The. ami ant asked for was very nearly obtained

nearly that no trouble is anticti>ated in raising the remaind-

Che money thus obtained is, at the present writing, being

expended, and the work of completion going on.

This [daces the coll g i an entirely different basis from what

i; has heretofor curded. Whenever Prealdeot ftCayson has

been asked, bj persons who bad daughters to educate: "'Is your
college linished V" he was obliged to saj no. H< might truth-
fully tell them that he had rooms enough finished for all prac-
tical purposes; but he could not give an nnequivocal affirmative

nswer to the questions < eerningtht mplellon of the college.

This was an embarrassment to him and a hindrance to patron
I will not be so longer. The college will soon be^nnlshed
in I m complete order.
