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> half acres, all covered with native oaks, hickory, gum, &c, and susceptible of the highest ornamentation. Ho care or expense will be spared to make the LaOrange Female College the mosl attractive place, and one of the most thorough schools in the UOEAMOE ' l.M.M. I. I OLLKOB. II Booth.

This de- partment is under the immediate supervision of the President anil his lady, and is watched over bj Mrs. Palmer, the Matron. 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 thcfnll term, unless an arrangement be made with the president. 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. j4 LAOBAHOE I 1 H kLI I "1.1. 1 .1 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. .v. i:\Ni.i; i i \i w.i cou HK. 1-1:1 M l!IV t'LAHH, gWlntOB'l Word I'rlimr Second aaford'i Oomell't peaoertan nyt<-m Boblnaon'i viatos*!

"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. i.e.ii w.i h.m vi i i .ii i i i 17 [BEN] \N CA8KE1 fhe riKiit l <-(- of the [renian >S the subscribers and complimented by the press, lis strict i.\ an original |per; erj fen extract* find a place in jj columns, The young kadiea tm \ - been large!) benefitted by ill,. i ai "T.

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 Miss Irawing, in all tiieir In laob \ n < . i 11 \i m.i i i 'i i.i .1 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.

The Visiting Committee of 1879 appoin ted by the presiding Blah, opoofwiated of Rev, w. v. Olenn, Her, H. H. Parks and Rev. J, h Hunnieatt This College is thepropertj of the North Georgsj Conference, therefore we have bul one Committee, 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- I MtH \ ".'.!

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> 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 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.

"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.

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.
