Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions LC579 IMP 1913-1914 913 OUR PRESBYTERIAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS The Executive Committee of Christian Education and Ministerial Relief of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, Henry H. Sweets, Secretary, 122 South Fourth Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky. 1914 In grateful recognition of his untiring efforts in behalf of the cause of Christian Education in the Presbyterian Church in the United States, this publication is dedicated to Reverend James Bunyan Shearer, A. M., D. D., LL. D. of Davidson, N. C. Rev. John Bunyan Shearer, D. D., LL. D. Dr. Shearer was bom in 1832 in Appommattox Count}-, Vir- ginia. He was prepared for college at Union Academy, gradu- ated with degree of A. B. at Hampden Sidney College in 1851. He later took the A. M. degree at his Alma Mater and also at the University of Virginia. He graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 1858. From 1858 to 1862 he was pastor of Chapel Hill Church, N. C. He founded Cluster Springs High School, was President of Stewart College — now Southwestern Presbyterian University — from 1870 to 1879. Then Professor of History and English Literature until 1882, when the Theological Department was organized and he became professor of Biblical Instruction. In 1888 he was made President of Davidson College and Pro- fessor of Biblical Instruction, which position he held until 1902, when he was made Vice President and Professor of Biblical Literature in the same institution. Dr. Shearer placed the Bible in the rank of earnest studies, wrote a number of text books for Bible study, helped to organize a number of educational institutions in our church, gave liberally of his time and energy and means to keep other institutions alive, and possibly did more than any other man to hold the church to true ideals and earnest purpose concerning Church and Christian Education. Henry H. Sweets, Secretary Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. On the following pages will he found illustrations and state- ments of special features, historical facts, needs and financial condition of all the educational institutions that are recognized by official action, of any kind, by Sessions, Presbyteries and Synods. The specific relationship sustained by each institution to the Presbyterian Church is revealed in the paragraph headed "Government." There are other institutions which are not connected with the Presbyterian Church by any legal ties, and are not recognized by the official act of any Church court, but their history and their associations with the life and work of our Church are close and help- ful. The Ad Interim Committee appointed by the last General As- sembly will recommend that the Assembly to meet in Kansas City clearly define what relationship an institution must sustain to the Church to be called Presbyterian. It is earnestly hoped that when this is done, some of these institutions may be brought into more vital relationship with the Presbyteries and Synods. The various institutions are listed on the following pages as follows: I. Theological Seminaries, II. Colleges, III. Semi- naries, Junior Colleges, Academies, etc., and, IV. Orphanages. Each division is arranged alphabetically, according to Synods. A full index of Synods and Institutions may be found on pages 204, 205 and 206. Henry H. Sweets, Secretary, Louisville, Ky. Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. The Educational Situation in our Church. It is confidently believed that the Presbyterian Church in the United States is entering upon a new and more hopeful era of her educational history. In 1867, the General Assembly sent down to the Presbyteries the following memorial : Whereas the Presbyterian Church has at all times been distinguished for the high degree of mental culture of its ministers and people, an honorable preced- A Duty ence which it will be commendable for us to Recognized. try still to maintain; therefore, Resolved, 1, That in the judgment of this Assembly it comes clearly within the province of the organized Church of God to look after the mental, as well as the moral, culture of the people of God, with the view to their highest attainment in active, vital piety. 2, That in view of this fact, this Assembly deems it of the utmost importance that the Church elevate its standard of learn- ing, and widen its domain in prosecuting the educational interests of the people over whom it exerts a controlling influence. 3, That this Assembly request the Presbyteries throughout the bounds of the Church to take this subject into consideration at their next regular meetings, and report their action to the next General Assembly. In the early years of her history our Church could accomplish little. The civil war had swept away her resources, laid waste her private and Church property, and in many Difficulties instances closed her institutions of learning, be- Overcome. cause trustees, professors and students had gone to the front in defense of their country. At the close of this period she determined to arise and build and many schools, academies and colleges were revived or erected. Some of these have ceased to be. Others have had a hard struggle for a bare existence. Others have made steady progress and have brought untold blessings to the Church and the South- land. Until very recently there had been no well defined plans — no real unitv of action. Each institution has been concerned Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. - for its own life and its struggle for existence and for the enlarge- ment of its life and influence lias ofttimes short- Evolution ened its vision and narrowed its sympathy. of a System. In 1899, the General Assembly took up in earnest the consideration of Church and Christian education. A Permanent Committee was erected with Rev. J. B. Shearer, D. D., as chairman. This General Assembly made the following declaration: "While expressing its appreciation of the great work done for the cause of education by the schools, colleges and universities sup- ported and controlled by civil authorities, by A Policy philanthropists, and by other religious denomi- Determined. nations, and urging our people to do all that is expedient to throw about these institutions a wholesome Christian influence, the General Assembly does not consider it safe for any Church to turn over to any other parties, either religious or civil, the entire education of her sons and daughters. The history and traditions of the Presbyterian Church in this and other countries amply prove that denominational fidelity in this and other matters has not only secured the best results for our Church, but has accomplished great good by its influence on all others. The General Assembly hails with delight the unmistakable signs of are-awakening, not in our Church only, but in all the evangelical Churches, to the great importance of Christian education. We also record with satisfaction the in- creasing prosperity, success, and usefulness of our higher insti- tutions of learning, male and female, under direct Church control and denominational influence. "We also hail the increasing num- ber of high schools, academies, grammar schools, and mission schools, which have more or less of direct Church control. There- fore, in view of the great importance and promise of earnest effort for Church and Christian education, wc do recommend that all our Synods, Presbyteries and Church sessions undertake what- ever may be practicable in furtherance of this cause, and we believe that very much may be done along denominational lines without antagonizing any good work done by others." The Assembly in 1907 established an Executive Committee of Schools and Colleges with headquarters at Atlanta, Georgia, and 8 Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. assigned to it these duties: "(1) To make a thorough study of present conditions and movements in our educa- Comprehensive tional work, and a similar study of the condi- Program. tions and movements in educational work in general, and put the results of their investiga- tions in such form as will make them practically available for the information of our people. (2) To endeavor, with pru- dence, and by correspondence with those actually entrusted with the educational work of our Church, to create and secure common assent to true educational standards. (3) To use their endeavors to pave the way for the unifying of our educational work by a proper correlation of secondary and higher education. (4) To encourage the planting of schools at strategic points within our bounds. (5) To create a literature on Christian education for our Church, defining Christian education; showing the needs for, and the fruits of, such education; and giving such information as, in their judgment, will tend to advance the interest of this great cause. (6) To use all of the endeavors that Christian wisdom and prudence may devise for keeping our institutions distinctly Christian. (7) To devise measures for building up an intelligent and liberal clientele for our denominational education, who will have its interests specially at heart ; and to secure a large collection annually for this cause, arranging to have the cause presented by all of our pastors to their respective churches." Little was accomplished by this Committee on account of their failure to secure a secretary. In 1908, arrangements were made to use part of the time of one of the secretaries of one of the other Executive Committees. Information con- Early Efforts. cerning the educational work of the Church was carefully gathered and published, and a Student Loan Fund was suggested to the Assembly by the Committee. Rev. Walter L. Lingle, D. D., and Rev. F. H. Gaines, D. D., rendered most efficient service at this time. In 1909, Rev. William E. Boggs, D. D., was made secretary, and with great energy and zeal successfully launched the Loan Fimd, from which any boy or girl, of approved character and aim in life, may secure a loan of one-hundred dollars a year while taking the four vears' course Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. 9 in one of our Presbyterian Colleges. Dr. Boggs, continued his labors until July, 1912. The Assembly called upon the churches for two collections each year for Schools and Colleges- one for the treasury of the Executive Committee of Schools and Colleges, and the other for the Synodical treasury for the Schools and Col- The Financial leges of the various Synods. At the time these Plan. offerings were ordered the unrest because of the inadequate plan of finances in use by the Church had reached a crisis, and the new method was under consideration. "The weekly offering" for all benevolences was subsequently adopted before these annual offerings had found a place in the churches, and in the hearts of our people. In 1910, the Executive Committee of Schools and Colleges was consolidated with The Executive Committee of Ministerial Education and Relief, located at Louisville, Agencies Kentucky, and the title was changed to The Consolidated. Executive Committee of Christian Educa- tion and Ministerial Relief. This Commit- tee is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Ken- tucky. During this period of awakening in the General Assembly several of the Synods had been giving careful thought to educa- tional matters. The Synods of Texas and South Carolina about the same time began to take an inventory of Awakening in the educational assets and needs, and instead the Synods. of listening to the loudest cry that came from any institution within their bounds, carefully planned state wide educational systems. Both these Synods have recently made successful canvasses for much needed funds for all of their institutions and are planning much larger and better things for the future. North Carolina, Missouri, Missis- sippi and Kentucky are making plans on somewhat similar lines and other Synods and many Presbyteries are giving more time and prayerful consideration to this important department of the Church's work. Last May, at Atlanta, Georgia, the first large and representa- tive bodv of our educators met to confer together and plan for 10 Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. greater things in Christian education. The General Assembly, which convened immediately after the adjourn- General Ad- ment of this Conference, recognizing the far- vance Planned, reaching importance of this movement, ap- pointed an Ad Interim Committee, "to con- sider all matters relating to the discovery, definition, co-ordina- tion and allied questions of the schools and colleges connected with our Church," and directed that "this Committee call the Christian educators of these schools and colleges into conference with themselves to discuss matters coming under the purview of this Committee, and report its findings, with or without recom- mendations, to the General Assembly of 1914." The As- sembly urged "all the Synods and Presbyteries to give earnest attention to the work of Christian Education, using every endeavor to arouse our people to a deeper appreciation and a more liberal support of our educational institutions," and fur- ther recommended, "that the next General Assembly be an 'Education Assembly' and the first Friday and Saturday evenings be given over to popular meetings in behalf of our schools, colleges and seminaries." A careful study of the educational situation in the United States inspires one with greater hope for the Christian schools and colleges. Educators everywhere are discussing the im- possibility of developing character without the Duty to Fulfill, impelling force of religion. The state uni- versities are crowded and many of them are already beginning to urge the importance of preparation in a small college before the students enter upon professional or scien- tific training. All thoughtful Christian statesmen are agreed that education and religion must go hand-in-hand. This thought is voiced by Dr. W. H. P. Fauncc when he says, "Here, then, is our national peril — that the supremely important task of our generation will fall between Church and State and be ignored by both. The Church may say : 'Education is no longer in our hands' ; the State may say: 'On all religious matters we are silent.' Thus millions may grow up — are actually growing up in America today — without any genuinely religious training. It is time, therefore, for Church and school to co-operate, as army and navy co-operate, in defense of our common country." Our Presbyterian Educational Institutions. 11 The inspiring history of the past — from John Calvin and John Knox to the men and women who today are toiling unselfishly and with untiring zeal for our boys and girls and for the Great Head of the Church — calls us to go forward. An Imperative The needs of this present age, with its agnosti- Call . cism and materialism , summon us to a clear duty. The demand of the Church for a large increase in the number of efficient leaders warns us not to be weary in this fundamental work. The immense possibilities wrapped up in the lives of the youth of the land impel the Church to follow them as they leave the parental roof and to see that with all their getting they get the true wisdom and understanding. The Church of all institutions in the world must be honorable and honest. She should not claim an academic efficiency which her institutions do not have.

Theological Seminaries. Siillman Institute Tuscaloosa, Alabama For Colored Men. Pounded 1873. Government. — By Executive Committee of Home Missions. S TILLMAN Institute is distinguished from all other theo- logical schools in the country. 1. It is truly a Home Missionary contribution of our Southern Presbyterian Church to the salvation and uplift of the Negro race. Students of approved character are received from all denominations and treated alike. Our work is to train this young and growing race in the great and plain doctrines of grace, and to give them a usable knowledge of the English Bible. 2. Simple industries are provided, such as gardening, carpentry, dairy- ing and poultry raising, which afford a wise vehicle for education and a sensible means of exercise and recrea- tion to the students. Credit is given them for all labor performed, thus enabling any student to pay his own way to an education and to become self-reliant and enterprising. Of our graduates, 48 are serving colored Presbyterian Churches, many of whom are also teaching parochial schools. As many more are enlisted in the ministry of other churches. In order to accommodate all who may apply, Stillman In- stitute needs a new dormitory to be built of brick and to cost not less than $10,000. An endowment for Stillman Institute is becoming an impera- tive need. For thirty-five years the barest necessities of this benevolent missionary agency have been supplied by the gifts of churches and faithful friends. The professors, all Southern white men, have been poorly paid, and only their devotion to the end in view has enabled the management to keep such capable men in charge. Rev. J. G. Snedecor, LL.

Anniston, Alabama For Mex. Pounded L905. Government. — By nine trustees elected by the Synod of Alabama. ALABAMA Presbyterian College for Men is located at An- niston, under the shadow of Blue Mountain, which rises 1,750 feet above sea level. The College campus of eleven acres is located on Tyler Hill. The main building of the College is a massive structure three stories high, and has every modern convenience and appliance for first class college work. The laboratory is pronounced by experts as excellent in point of equipment. The founding of the College was the outgrowth of a real need in the Synod of Alabama, and particularly this sec- tion which has had such an immense growth in population during recent years, the single city of Birmingham having increased more than two hun- dred and forty-four per cent in a single decade. Within a little more than a hundred miles of Anniston there are more than one million white people. The College has just completed eight years of work, and the wisdom of the Synod in founding and fostering the institution is evidenced by the fact that during the past year the attendance increased twenty per cent. The Synod has awakened to the fact that the Church which makes no provision for the education of her sons must ultimately lose her leadership. The Bible is a text book and is taught not merely as a "dis- cipline of culture and a correct standard of the imagination, " but as "the Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. " The College believes in sane athletics, and no student is al- lowed to participate in an intercollegiate contest who fails to make a daily grade of seventy-five per cent. Rev. E. D. McDougall, D.D.

Alabama Synodical College for Women Talladega, Alabama 39 For Women. Pounded L849 Government. — By nine trustees elected by the Synod of Alabama. ALABAMA Synodical College for Women is a successor to Isbell College and is located in the city of Talladega, a most delightful and cultured town of 6,000 inhabitants, and situated among the mountains 700 feet above sea level. In 1902. the Board of Directors, elected by the Synod of Alabama, changed the name from Isbell College to that of the Alabama Synodical College for Women. At the same time they elected as President of the College, Rev. Thomas Peyton Walton, who still holds that position. In 1911 a beautiful new site of nine acres, on which was a splendid three story brick building, erected by Governor Parsons at a cost of $30,000, was do- nated to the Synod and a large building was erected upon this new site, ade- quate to the needs of a first class school for young women. The facultv is composed of experienced Christian teachers and the College is known for the thoroughness of the work done in the class room. Character building is one of the chief objects of the school and every influence brought to bear upon the pupils looks toward that end. Character is placed above numbers. Number of boarding pupils constantly increasing. Daughters of ministers are given free tuition. One of the finest assets of the College is its noble alumnae scattered over Ala- bama and other states. Our special needs are an immediate equipment and larger grounds. We have a financial agent now in the field who is trying to secure money for this purpose. Rev. T.

Government. — By twelve trustees elected by the Synod of Arkansas. ARKANSAS College "aims to excel in thorough work rather than showy pretensions." While attended by some of the wealthiest, it remembers with thankful pride that no one has ever been turned away for lack of means to pay tuition, if possessed of brains enough to take an education and a will to work. In connection with a standard- grade, secular course, leading to grad- uation, it trains in the facts of the Bible and proofs of its inspiration, not only because it contains a litera- ture that has shaped history more than any and possibly more than all others combined, but it builds faith, strengthens character and stores the mind with material for Christian serv- ice. And this supplies the moral ballast, which, conjoined with the study of Civil Government, makes the powerful, the harmless and, therefore, useful and really successful CITIZEN. Our special needs are a new dormitory for boys, the present building having recently overflowed; a larger endowment that the faculty may be increased and the courses of instruction multiplied with a view to having a wider range of attractions to offer students. It should be equipped as well as any non-Christian school so that our youth may be drawn more generally into the atmosphere that makes most for faith and righteousness. Rev. J. P. Robertson, A.

Government. — By twenty-one trustees, fourteen elected by Board and seven by the Presbvterv of Florida. PALMER College, the \oungest of our Presbyterian institu- tions, was founded in 1907, and named in honor of the late honored and beloved Benjamin M. Palmer, D. D., LL. D., of New Orleans. Succeeding the Florida State Normal College it came into possession of all of the property ac- quired by that institution. Since its reorganization under Presbyterian ow- nership and control a large athletic field has been purchased, one dormi- tory of brick erected, all the old buildings refurnished, and many sub- stantial improvements made upon the property. This has been done by a comparatively small group, and rep- resents sacrifices on the part of its iounders. Fathered by Presbyterians of Scotch descent it boasts its ancestry as a guarantee of its distinctly Christian character, yet it seeks not to narrow its mission and influence in behalf of Christian education by being sectarian. The object of its founders was a definite one — namely, to make Palmer College in the best sense a Christian school, to serve all the people without interfering with denominational preferences. Study of the Bible is required of all, and the faculty must be Christians. Its location in DeFuniak Springs makes an almost ideal environ- ment — no saloons by city charter,, a community of churches, the seat of the Florida Chautauqua; the people have high social, moral and intellectual standards. The site marks the highest point in the State and is beautiful for situation. Our immediate needs are $20,000 to pay our indebtedness, $50,000 for additional buildings and equipment, and $100,000 for productive endowment. Rev. Lynn R. Walker, D. D. President 40 Colleges.

Founded 1889. Government. — By twelve trustees elected by Board — Charter requires they shall be members of Presbyterian Church, U. S. THE purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its foundation has been to offer the very best educational advantages under positive Christian influences — the training and furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped college, and at the same time the formation and development of Christian character and ideals. Aloni, r with these ends, it is constantly sought to cultivate true womanliness, a woman- liness which combines strength with w«^ gentleness and refinement. It is thus W the aim of the College to send out edu- cated Christian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorifying God. The College was founded by Pres- byterians, and hence its moral stand- ards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to those which ob- tain in that Church. Its ideals are — the supreme end the Glory of God; the Bible a text-book; Christian teachers; all the influences posi- tively Christian; a high standard strictly maintained. The College offers only the B. A. degree. There are, however, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord with her special talent and plans. r. T. H.

The charter was written in 1854 by one of our most dis- tinguished Kentuckians, Hon. John C. Breckenridge, Vice- President of the United States and Secretary of War of the Con- federate States. Matthew Vassar said his attention having been called to this institution was one of the influences that led him to the founding of Vassar College. Sayre College is one of the few edu- cational institutions in the South that did not close its doors from 1860-1865. Rev. J. M. Spencer, D.D. President Today the school combines the prestige of age with modern equip- ment. New dormitory, new furniture, beautiful trees and flowers, and out- door sports are among the material advantages. College Entrance and Junior College courses, Music, Art, and Physical Culture, Expression, also Domestic Science and Domestic Art provided for. A faculty selected t with regard to Christian influence and character as well as to thorough scholarship and experience.

Government. — By twelve trustees elected by East Mississippi Presbytery. CHICKASAW Female College has been the greatest home missionary East Mississippi has ever had — a very large part of the spread of Presbyterianism having been due to the influence it has exerted in all directions, in the sending out of strong women impressed with the teachings of our beloved Church to exert their influence in helping to build it up, and in the earnest efforts to spread that influence by the preaching of the Gospel by ones who have served the terms as President and godly ministers who have at different times been a part of its faculty. God has abundantly blessed its work and made it to be an incalculable blessing to our Church. Looking into its future, we feel that it is to be a still greater blessing, for the outlook is a bright one in every way. 58 Colleges. Chickasaw Female College.

The buildings are modem, beautiful, convenient, home-like, and equipped with water, electric lights, electric bells. There are seventeen upright pianos, a Knabe Grand and a large pipe organ. The location, forty-five miles from Memphis, Term., at the junction of the Illinois Central and the 'Frisco railroads, is the highest altitude be- tween New Orleans and Chicago. The influences are those of a Christian home. The President's family reside in the school home, the President's wife being a mother to the girls. Much attention is paid to the develop- ment of the religious character, the moral nature, and the social graces. The Bible is a text book. The courses oj study lead to English, Scientific and Classical diplomas. The college is noted for the very highest advantages in music, art, expression, and domestic science. High rank has been attained among the best institutions of learning.

Founded 1874. 63 Government. — By fifteen trustees elected by the Synod of Missouri. SYNODICAL College is a Junior College, offering courses of study which are parallel with those given in the first two years of Class A colleges and universities, together with an academy course which is equivalent to the standard high school curriculum. There are some features which go to give the life and work individuality, keeping it a distinctively woman's college. Believing that an education should be a preparation for life, an endeavor is made to meet the needs of sane young womanhood. It is neither a convent nor a reform school in its mode of discipline. A feature is made of student government as a means to develop character and self- control. Taking for ideals good work, good health, and happiness, every effort is made to realize them. Stress is laid upon Personal and Social Hygiene, Household Chemistry, Dietetics, Child Study, Physiology, together with Domestic Science and Art. Much attention is given to systematic exercise and to the preparation of menus for the college tables, both being necessary for good health. The atmosphere is that of a large family, thereby insuring a happy life. Synodical College has just completed a new dormitory, modern in every respect, which doubles the capacity of the in- stitution. This enables the college to enter a larger sphere of usefulness. Our particular need is for scholarships whereby Presby- terian girls of ability and promise, who have but slender purses, may be trained for lives of usefulness and service. Lawrence I. MacQueen, M.

By twenty-four trustees elected by Synods of Missouri". U. S., and U. S. A. WESTMINSTER College was founded in 1849, and owned by the Southern Synod of Missouri from its foundation until 1901. It has since that time been equally and jointly under the control of the Presbyterian Synods of Missouri, U. S., andU. S. A. With four handsome modern build- ings, all erected in the last thirteen years; a campus, thought to be the most beautiful college campus in the State ; a fine athletic field ; a strong faculty of eleven men; possibly the best college laboratories in Missouri ; Westminster offers splendid advan- tages to young men seeking an educa- tion. The entire history of West- minster has been a work of promoting the highest ideals of scholarship and citizenship for Church and State; its object has been to teach the things that make for more than physical and mental accomplishment, the things that exalt character, make life sacred, and put men in harmony with the Bible standard of conduct. From Westminster's walls have gone forth one hundred and fifteen ministers, twelve foreign missionaries, and a great num- ber of earnest Christian men into every profession and walk of life. The most pressing need of the college is an additional endow- ment of 8150,000.00. Those who wish to make such disposition of their money as will accomplish the most good for all time can make no better investment than to put it into Westminster's Endowment Fund. Rev. Charles B.

Government. — By fifty-eight trustees elected by Presbyteries of North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and part of South Carolina, and by the Alumni Association. DAVIDSON College, for men only, was founded in 1837 and is now in its seventy-seventh year. It was never more vigorous, nor better equipped for its work. For a number of years its student body has numbered from 330 to 350 and fills the institution to its capacity from the stand- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ point of teachers, dormitory space and class room accommodation. Pew of the students are not church members — 19 such this year out of ^^ «k* ^35. A fine, manly set of young men. '^H Faculty of fourteen university i ji|- trained men of wide experience as teachers, and every one a Christian fl gentleman of fine influence. ^^ At The standard of scholarship is ^^gjj^^^^H high and to degree, for Davidson's diploma stands ^^^^*^^^^^^^^ ' thorough work. Fourteen units are required for entrance and only two units of condition allowed. Over one-third of all candidates for the ministry of the South- ern Presbyterian Church now in college are on Davidson's campus, and this has been the record for years. Davidson's desire is not so much to be a bigger, as it is to be a better college. Doing the one thing of undergraduate college work, with no instructors teaching even the freshmen, our wish is to so equip, man, and endow the college that it shall do the most efficient work possible for the young men of the South. No man or woman can better or more lastingly invest funds to develop young life and the Church than to add to the equipment or endowment of Davidson College. Davidson needs an endowmenl fund raised to $500,000; anew gymnasium building, a Y. M. C. A. hall, additional laboratory equipment and space, and an administration building. William J. Martin, Ph.

Southern Presbyterian College and Conservatory of Music Red Springs, North Carolina For Women. Founded 1896. Government. — By thirty-six trustees elected by the Presbyteries of Fayetteville, Orange and Wilmington. THE Southern Presbyterian College and Conservatory of Music is located in the quiet of the country, where the pupils have the advantage of pure air, plenty of room for exercise and are away from the nervous distraction of a city ; the charges are exceptionally low when you consider the quality of the work done; an opportunity is given for young women to assist themselves by doing certain work in the Institu- tion; it has a very carefully planned and systematically carried out study of the Bible, Missions, and all the ac- tivities of the Church. Of course, it goes without saying that we have a faculty that is fully capable of doing this work. As to our needs, they are just the need that is common to all oxir girls' colleges — an endowment. This single Rev. c. g. vardeii, d. d. need tells the whole story. President 76 Colleges. Southern Presbyterian College and Conservatory of Music.

Founded 1910. si Government. — By eleven trustees elected by the Synod of Oklahoma. OKLAHOMA Presbyterian College for Girls is a Junior College for girls and young women. The title to the property is vested in Assembly's Committee of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, governed by a Board of eleven trustees chosen by the Synod of Oklahoma. At present it is the sole high grade institution for girls being op- erated under denominational auspices within the State of Oklahoma. The influence of this school is already felt throughout this section. Few girls leave its halls without surrender- ing their hearts and lives to the Savior. A number of its teachers and students have volunteered for service in either Home or Foreign field. Stu- dents are drawn from a territory largely destitute of religious advan- tages. This makes the institution a most valuable evangelizing agency. The present attendance taxes the capacity. Limited means and heavy debt stand in the way of accomplishing greatest use- fulness. The greatest present need is an additional building, giving more school room, and dormitory equipment for one hundred additional girls. No more inviting field for the Christian phil- anthropist is to be found in the South. It is an ideal place for endowment of a training school for Christian workers. Scholar- ship funds arc needed for partial support of poor girls. 82 Colleges. Oklahoma Presbyterian College for Girls. Period Covered by this Report. — April, 1912, to April, 1913.

Founded L880. rnment. —By twenty-four trustees, three elected by each Presbyteries in the Synod of South Carolina, and I by the Alumni Association. if the seven THE Presbyterian College of South Carolina is a Christian college of the liberal arts and natural sciences, standing firmly on the great truths of evangelical Christianity. The standard is recognized by State Superintendent of Education as equal to that of the besl :olleg< for men in the State. There are four encouraging points regarding the future development of the college. 1. It is well located. Clinton is a progressive town in the Piedmont of the State, with an elevation of 800 feet. It lias all modern improvements, the climate is invigorating, free from malaria, and the general healthfulness of the place is excellent . 2. It has a strong constituency. According to the Minutes of the General Assembly for 1913, there are 26,706 members of the Pres- byterian Church in South Carolina, and these Presbyterians have about 500 sons in different colleges. 3. It has ground for future development. The college owns thirty acres of land., beautifully located, all within the corporate limits of the town of Clinton. 4. The buildings are modern. All except one were erected in the last ten years. The growth of the College during the pasl four years has assured the Church that it ha- a future. Three years ago there were 85 students, two years ago L09, last year 133, and this year 155. The incorm was $3,763.85 three years ago; this year 1913-1914 it will b $10,000. From the increase in income it will be seen that the College has elements that will attract. It is appealing to all classes of students and. is not dependent upon free scholarship- for growth. The standard, equipment, and general tone of the College have well kept pace with the increase in stu- dents and income. 1. We need an additional income of $2,500 a year to meet running ex- penses. It is -ustomaiv for .all institutions to say they nee 1 a larger ii but a glance at the financial statement of the College will show that it is run- ning with an annual deficil of about $2,500 a year. Thi defi :i1 h approximately the same for the Ias1 four years. 2. $10,000 in order tosecurea new library and sciencehall. 'I he l now has $15,000 it can use for this purpose on the condition that i1 secures not less than $10,000 more. The student body has grown, and in order to d first-class work the College is almost obliged to have this new building I' will be seventy by one hundred feet.

Government. — By sixteen directors elected by the Svnod of Tennessee. ROGERSVILLE Synodical College for many years has rendered a most efficient service to the homes of Eastern Tennessee and the South. It has claimed as its President some of the leading educators produced by our Church. In recent years, however, it has been allowed to suffer greatly because of the lack of finances. In 1912, the Synod appointed a special committee to raise 82,000. At the meeting of the Synod in 1913, the committee reported that they had not been able to accomplish this task. The Annual Report of the Board of Directors, for 1913, con- tained this statement, "The Board has made diligent effort to secure someone to take the Presidency of the institution, but has been unable to make suitable arrangements and consequently the college is now closed with no prospect of reopening until Synod shall take the necessary steps to put the institution on its feet. The resolution of the Synod a year ago to raise an endowment of twenty-five thousand dollars for the College has not as yet produced the desired results." The value of the property is 821,500. The amount of the debt is about 82,000 and 81,000 is needed for repairs. 94 Colleges. Southwestern Presbyterian University.

Government. — By sixteen trustees elected by the Synod of Texas. AUSTIN College has just completed a three-story Science Hall, and a two-story power house. We already have plans for an administration building to cost $75,000 and a library and auditorium to cost $50,000. This last building is the gift of the city of Sherman, and is to be known as "Sherman Hall." Our plant, when completed, will be worth about. $50,0000. We need another dormitory to cost $60,000. We also need an additional $200,000 endowment so that we may increase our faculty and also the sal- aries paid, and add other necessary departments. This is the oldest Presbyterian college in the West, founded by Dr. Daniel Baker. He secured a few large and many small gifts from the Pres- byterians in all the Southern States and from a large number of Eastern States. Possibly more people from all parts of the nation have small investments in Austin College than in anv other college in America. Rev. T. S. Clyce, D. D., LL.D. President ii i M ii '• I. Y. M. C. A.

President DANIEL Baker College is lo- cated in the geographical cen- ter of Texas, in a city of 10,000 people. The climate is free from malaria. Altitude of 1,500 feet, which is about the same as Staunton, Va., or Chautauqua, N. Y. It is one of the ten standard insti- tutions in the State recognized by the State Board of Examiners as of the first class. The University of Texas and other Southern institutions give full credit for every hour of college work done. There are four buildings with all modern improvements. Physical and chemical laboratories. Library of standard fiction and reference books and all leading magazines and periodicals. The student body now is not only more representative than ever before in the history of the institution, but very much larger — 234 in all departments to date, and from all over the state and adjoining states. Proper care of them has taxed and is taxing the present faculty to the limit and we have not class room enough. We need most sadly, and in order as follows : A dormitory for boys, an administration building and a chapel and gymnasium building. It is hardly possible for us to ask for more patronage without more equipment. 100 Colleges. Daniel Baker College. Period Covered by this Report.— June, 1912, to June, 1913.

S., and by the Synod of West Virginia, U. S. A. DAVIS and Elkins College is the only Presbyterian college in Wesl Virginia. The college is the outgrowth of a desire on the part of representa- tives of Lexington and Winchester Presbyteries and of the Hon. Henry G. Davis and the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins to establish an in- stitution of high grade of more or less cultural nature in West Virginia. Ground was broken in 1903, and with a faculty of four and about fifty students the doors of the college were opened in Sep- tember, 1904. For some years after the opening the trustees were unsuccessful in awakening the active interest of the Southern Church in the further development of the College; but in 1908, the Synod of West Vir- ginia, representing the Northern Church, upon the invitation of the Board of Trustees, joined in the ownership ami maintenance of the College, and brought with it a very desirable patronage, and the stimulus for a very pronounced and growing interest in the affairs of the College throughout the entire Church in Wes1 Virginia. Later Greenbrier, Kanawha and Tygarts Valley Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church, C. S., joined in co-operation. Now that a Southern Synod is to be erected in this State, the opportunity seems brighter than ever before to make Davis and Elkins College conspicuously the Presbyterian College of West Virginia. The plant consists of two buildings and twenty-live acres of land. The irustees have, in the nature of a bequest from ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, a pledge of $100,000 at least. He has promised in addition $50,000, or any part thereof, in cash, whenever the trustees will have raised a like amount. A campaign is now on to meet this proposition. Our special and urgent needs are greater liberality on the pari of our church people: First, to assist in meeting the additional "tier of Mr. Davis, thereby securing in cash $100,000; i ;c "-T -f 2 I I g - c^ - E'SS o o o 053 o° 0,0 c c p ,- p , *£"& ft . ft S ^ : O^M^g 5,i?,fe(2fefeiv!5a3Mpi!(Sj.\^Y means Larger Faculties, thus increasing the facilities • r Presbyterian schools.

Upon the burning of Belhaven College in Oc- tober, 1910, Prof. J. R. Preston, the owner, derided not to rebuild. Rev. J. B. Hutton. D.D., and Elders W. C. Wells, Jr., and J. R. Dobyns and others seized the opportunity to establish a Presbyterian College for girls at this strategic point. A handsome tile roof brick building, modern in every part, with a bath room between each two bed rooms, was put up during the summer of 1911 and the school was opened for business September 19th of that year. R. V. Lancaster, D. D., was chosen President. The first ses- sion a number of girls were turned away, necessitating enlargement by erection of annex of same character as main building. Every brick in the building belongs to the Presbyterian Church. There are no stockholders. The college requires 14 units for entrance. There is an Academic Department that takes girls from the Seventh Grade up. There is no limit to our opportunities, except as our means are limited. Self-help is offered to as many girls as our resources will permit. Rev. R. V. Lancaster, D. D. President Seminaries, Institutes and Academies. 123 Belhaven Collegiate and Industrial Institute.

CENTRAL Mississippi Institute has had to make a constant and vigorous fight for its existence because it has no en- dowment, and few gifts come this way. Its course is too high for many to graduate, but its alumnae are doing a very fine work. For two years local conditions have crippled it seriously. Boll-weevil has created a panic here. Our whole plant needs the kind hand m ' x - of love to be extended. This school is — in the truest sense Christian in its teachings. The Bible is a text -book — some of it is memorized daily and recited. The students take part in t?%\ the evening devotions in the par- lors. The setting is very fine for de- veloping Christian character. It would be a distinct loss to Presbyterianism if we failed to support adequately this school. The country needs it and the Church needs its work if it measures up to its duty to God. J. A. Sanderson, B. A. Principal 126 Seminaries, Institutes and Academies. Central Mississippi Institute.

L2; Chamberlain-Hunt Academy Port Gibson, Mississippi Fob Boys a.nd Young Men. Founded L879. Government. — By nine trustees elected by the Synod of Mississippi. CHAMBERLAIN-HUNT Academy is doing strictly high grade preparatory school work. It is one of the few en- dowed preparatory schools owned by the Church in the South. Industrial features have been added so as to provide wax's for students of limited means to secure an education. A good farm, dairy, and manual training shop enable several to work, in part. their way through school. Some of the endowed scholarships go to those who are helping themselves. The aim of the school is to develop the best raw material available for future church leadership. It gives help to no one unless he works to help himself. The location, a mile from a quiet little town, makes it an ideal place for such a school. Every session it has been crowded with students. For the past three years it has turned them away. If the old bonded debt of $28,000 were out of the way the present endowment would be adequate for the work of the school. The two greatest needs are, first, another dormitory with rooms for hospital and library, to cost about $25,000. This will give room for 40 more boys and add to the income of the school. with little added expense. The other pressing need is a fund to provide for the bonded debt mentioned, of like amount. The school is doing pioneer work in industrial education by the Church and with a little help has a great field and future. Rev. M. E. Melvin, D. D.

Ufford, of New Jersey, and Miss Helen J. Northrup, of Minnesota, is under the control of a Board of Trustees elected by Mecklenburg Presbytery. The aim of the Institution is to prepare young women for the actual duties of life — for teaching in our rural and public schools, for the^duties of the home, or for entrance to higher institutions of learning. Full recognition is given to the fact that this is, above all, a Christian school, and its object the development of character training for service in the extension of the Kingdom of God. The Bible and Missions are taught in every department. The school is finely situated on an eminence above the town of Albemarle, and commands a view of the town and surrounding country. The health of the pupils is carefully guarded and physical culture is given to all. Of the one hundred and two boarding girls only twenty have rooms in the school building, the others are in rented cot- tages. There is, therefore, great need for more dormitory room. Albemarle Normal and Industrial Institute has 5 acres and 2 buildings; property valued at $24,500; indebtedness. $5,000; 138 students; 15 teachers; 1 alumna in Mission work and 1 ing.

Founded 1857. Government. — By twenty-five trustees, 2 elected by the Synod of North Carolina, 2 by each of the eight Presbyteries of said Synod, 7 by the officers of the First Church, Raleigh. PEACE Institute, founded in 1857. is the outgrowth of the generosity of prominent Presbyterians throughout the State of North Carolina, who recognized the strategic importance to the Church of a high grade school for girls at the State Capital. Due to the crippling effects of the Civil War the institution passed into the hands of a stock company, and for thirty-five years (1872-1907), un- der the wise guidance of those dis- tinguished Presbyterian educators, Drs. Robert and John B. Burwell and Dr. James Dinwiddie, it attained high rank among its sister institutions of the South. Six years ago when the continu- ance of Presbyterian influence was threatened the property was bought by a committee of the First Presby- terian Church, of Raleigh, bonded for the purchase price, and since that time has been successfully con- ducted by the committee in trust for the Presbyterians of the State. So great has been the increase in value that, if placed on the market today, the property would probably net from seventy- five thousand dollars to a hundred thousand dollars above the purchase price. The present session opened with the dormitory, accommo- dating one hundred pupils, full to capacity and a waiting list. The school has never asked nor received a dollar from the Church at large, but to retain its present prestige and meet its enlarging opportunities it must have in the immediate future more dormi- tory room, improved equipment and free endowment of at least one hundred thousand dollars.

There is a recog- nized need for that preparation for a college course which will enable students to pursue the course with comfort and satisfaction. The distaste for college life is often traceable to- lack of preparation for the college curriculum. It is the purpose of this institution to fit men for thor- ough college work. Experts in the different departments have been se- cured and the ambition of the man- agement is to make a reputation for thoroughness in the work of prepara- tion. Parents may be assured that the confidence reposed in the institu- tion will not be betrayed, for we de- pend upon the record made for our right to exist. If we do not fill the need we shall have no claim to ex- istence. Our work will be under the most scrutinizing review of the insti- tutions of learning to which our graduates go for their college course. That in itself is a guarantee of every effort being put forth to make ours the best school of its kind in the South. With the co-operation of the public we propose to make Frazer Academy the synonym of proficiency and thor- oughness in preparatory work. Rev. W. H. Frazer, D. D.

L57 Lewisburg Seminary Lewisburg, West Virginia For Women. Founded L876. ( irOVERNMENT. -By twelve trustees elected by the Presbytery of Greenbrier. IN 1812. the Lewisburg Academy, for boys and girls, was chartered. Its founder was the Rev. John McElhenney D. D., a man of prominence in the Presbyterian Church. Virgil A. Lewis, in his "History and Government of West Virginia," says, "This was the most important school in the early history of tlie State. From its walls went forth legislators, great debaters and sci- entists, to become active characters in establishing Western commonwealths." In 1876 this Academy was trans- ferred to a corporation and chartered as Lewisburg Female Institute. The grounds were added to and a large three-story brick building erected. In 1892, again, the stockholders turned over the property to the Presbyterian Church. More ground was added to the campus and another large four- story building was erected. In 1901, these buildings were burned. But the friends of the school rallied to its support and raised the money to build the two larger and better buildings, which constitute the present plant, worth $120,000.00. Lewisburg Seminary aims to furnish to the young women of West Virginia and adjoining territory an opportunity of ob- taining a substantial education under carefully guarded Christian influences. It is the only school in the State belonging to a Protest- ant Church and devoted to the education of women exclusively; the other Protestant schools and the State schools are co-educa- tional. Our special need is money (1) to increase our library, (2) to make certain additions to and improvements in the buildings, (3) to equip a domestic science department, (4) to establish an endowment fund for the aid of poor but worth) young w R.

NACOOCHEE Institute is located in the heart of the famous Nacoochee Valley just under the Blue Ridge Mountains in White County. The Central School course begins with Primary and completes Tenth Grade. There is a course in Domestic Science conducted NACOOCHEE INSTITUTE Rev. John Knox Coit, Superintendent by a capable Christian woman. The Bible is taught for one hour each day. by an accomplished and experienced teacher. This is one of the happiest and most helpful hours of the school day and splendid results are in constant evidence. Regular preaching services are maintained at four points. The Presbyterian Church here was reorganized in April. 1913. At that time the entire com- munity was spiritually refreshed during a series of special services. 168 Mountain Mission Schools. Summer Schools are conducted by volunteer teachers who receive only bare expenses for their services and work from six weeks to five months. About eighty children are reached through this department. Several young girls are helping themselves through school by doing the dormitory washing Every boarding pupil is required to work two hours each day. Last year every boarding pupil, not already a professing Chris- tian, confessed Christ and united with the Church. Nacoochee Institute is fulfilling a ministry to the Church of Jesus Christ at large by gathering up neglected young people, training them for Christian service and sending them out pre- pared for useful living. A resolution adopted by the Synod of Georgia at a recent meeting, says: "Nacoochee needs much larger and better equipment to fulfill its mission as a proper representative of the great Presby- terian Church of Georgia." Nacoochee Institute has 30 acres of land and eight buildings, a property valued at $11,928.00. 159 students in Central Schools, 140 in Extension Schools; 7 teachers; 1 alumnus in ministry, and 4 in college studying for ministry.

William Larimer Porter, M. A. Government. — By nine trustees elected by the Synod of Missouri. THE School of the < )zarks has been founded by the Synod of Missouri of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The Primary object of the founders is to offer the best intellectual training under the best moral and Christian auspices. The hope is to build up a great school not only through the ad- vantages gained by the location in such a healthful climate, in the midst of such inspiring scenes and with such opportunities for outdoor recreation, but most of all, through advantages which will , - -"T rr* JpgL-^, . - - -r - q - ^ n*~ jjffi i c ; ^2\ ■—) —7 — be offered to those of both sexes who are deserving, yet financially unable to secure an education above the free school. Hence, in consideration of the extremely low tuition, the purpose is to make the school a self-sustaining "family" by requiring all students to spend a portion of their time in the various duties assigned them in the building or on the campus and farm, such as kitchen, dining-room and laundry work, or in securing fuel and provisions, and improving the property. The School of the Ozarks has 160 acres of land and 2 buildings; property valued at $29,000; indebtedness, $3,500; 150 students; 7 teachers. It requires of all students five half-hour periods a week in Bible study. 174 Mountain Mission Schools. Glade Valley High School Glade Valley, Alleghany County, North Carolina Co-Educational. Founded 1911. Rev. W. F. Hollingsworth, A. B., President. Government. — By nine trustees elected by Presbytery of Orange. GLADE Valley High School was established by Orange Presbytery and was opened in a half finished building, January 4, 1911. At an altitude of about 3,000 feet— on top of the Blue Ridge — it is in a needy section of our best SflNf GLADE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL 1. Part of the school 2. New Dormitory (work stopped for lack of funds) 3. Dormitory 4. Main Building Boys' mountain territory. There is no school of like character in all this region. Its work is not only that of Christian Education, but real pioneer Home Mission work. We are seeking to make the school a real evangelistic agency and a center for social bet- terment. Its class room and dormitory facilities have been over- taxed from the beginning. Last year 135 were enrolled in the Mountain Mission Schools. 175 Primary, Intermediate and High School grades. There is perhaps no section of our country where there are so many children and young people for whom so little is being (lone religiously, socially, morally, and intellectually. Out of these people, strong and virile in mind and body, will come, with proper training, men and women to bless the world. They are worthy, capable and responsive; but have lacked opportunity. We feel that money invested in buildings and permanent equipment will yield a rich dividend for years to come. We are building for eternity, in lives for whom Christ died. The small sum of $7,000 would finish and furnish our boys' dormitory, install the heating system, and pay oft" all our debts. We have other needs, but these are the most pressing. Glade Valley High School has 125 acres and 6 buildings; property valued at 818,000; indebtedness, $2,500; 135 students; 6 teachers; 1 alumnus teaching. It requires of all advanced students one and two hours a week in Bible study. The Bible is taught in all grades. Lees-McRae Institute Banner Elk, Avery County, North Carolina Girls' Department. Founded 1900. Government. — Bv trustees elected by the Presbytery of Concord. IX the heart of the mountains of Western North Carolina, four thousand feet above the sea level, about 90 miles north of Asheville and surrounded by mountain peaks from five to six thousand feet, is a beautiful little village, at the lower edge of which, close to where the turbulent waters of the Shannehaw and Elk flow into each other's embrace, is situated the Girls' Dei .ail- ment of the Lees-MeRae Institute, a few facts concerning which are given below. This school grew out of a small Summer Mission School carried on about seventeen years ago by Concord Presbytery. In 1899, the evangelist in charge gathered around an open lire in his own room less than a dozen of the most advanced pupils from this Mission School, and for a few months endeavored to further stimulate their minds to higher ideals in lite. 176 Mountain Mission Schools. The following fall the question of building a high grade boarding school was taken up at a mid-week prayer meeting in the Presbyterian Church at Banner Elk. At this meeting $250 in lumber and cash were subscribed. The matter having been thus started at home, appeals were made through the papers, by letters and in person until a twenty-two room dormitory was furnished on a small lot next to the church. The object that the Institute has in view is to bring within reach of as many girls and boys as possible, especially those in the mountains, the opportunity of a Christian education. To obtain this end the following policy is pursued: First, all the common school branches are thoroughly taught by experienced teachers. Second, the Bible is made a daily text book, and every student is expected to attend church and Sunday school; but no effort is made to change any one's particular denominational views. Third, every student in the boarding hall is given daily prac- tical training in all the duties that pertain to good, economical housekeeping. Fourth, there is a class in basketry and kindred subjects, and one also in sewing, all of which are open to every student in school. Fifth, there will be a course in Hygiene and Nursing for a class of the oldest girls, in connection with a small hospital that is now being built close to the school. The object of this is not to send the girls out as regularly trained nurses, but for their own benefit in their own homes. Whatever success this school has attained we feel is due to the fact that it is a school of many prayers. It was founded on prayer. The class of teachers that have been employed have been of the highest order. Not only have they come from refined Christian homes, but also from some of the best colleges in our country. Their lives have taught as vigorously as their lips. Every effort has been made to get the people in the moun- tains to feel that the school belongs to them and that its success depends upon their efforts. The first subscriptions in every im- provement are always taken up at home. It has been the policy of the school to never make a debt. Whenever we have reached the point where we could not go forward ^■'.^fel^Tj Leea-M^aetfannlrElk ^ LEES-McRAE INSTITUTES BANNER ELK AND PLUM TRI 178 Mountain Mission Schools. without contracting a debt, we have been content to stand still. But we never stand still very long. Lees-McRae Institute, Banner Elk, N. C, has 250 acres of land and 7 buildings; property valued at $39,550; endowment, $2,100; indebtedness, $2,000; 150 students; 8 teachers; 50 alumnae teaching. It requires of all students two and a half hours a week in Bible study. Lees-McRae Institute Plumtree, Avery County, North Carolina Boys' Department. Founded 1903. Government. — Bv trustees elected bv the Presbytery of Concord. THE Plumtree village, rustic in name and appearance, is hidden away in one of the deep folds of the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina. A visitor once remarked, " The wonder is how you ever found this place. " The first school house at Plumtree, popularly known as the "Bluebonnet, " was built by the citizens. They were eager for the school. Before benches could be made or the walls of the house ceiled, about thirty children were there with books. The first desks were crude, with straight-up backs. It was the best we could do then. Quickly following the completion of the "Bluebonnet" build- ing, the leaders of the village met with the manager of the school to plan a home for boys who would come from the mountains around. Two of the villagers promised $500.00 each, and a friend from afar hearing of the awakening, sent $1,000.00. A com- fortable dormitory with twenty-eight rooms was soon built and crowded with boys as fast as it was furnished. During this year the boys and the people caught the spirit of energy and self-help. The same desire came upon three men who live a few miles farther from Plumtree. These, though de- pendent upon their daily work at $1.00 to $1.50 for a living, cut the logs, sawed them, and built the house that they might have the school which has been since furnished them. One of these stock- holders said, "Let's call its name Learnmore. " A friend named it "Dawn. " Mountain Mission Schools. 179 This enthusiasm spread so that a great number of mission schools were built up around the Plumtree institution. Five of these are in a nourishing condition today — "Slippery Hill," "Dawn," "Buck Hill," "Three Mile," and the "Plumtree Primary School. " A number of rooms are yet to be furnished in the dormitory. $25.00 will pay for the furnishing of one room. The building is yet to be heated and lighted. The school has 1,600 acres of land; enrollment, 90; teachers, li; branch schools, 8; enrollment, 250; total enrollment, 340; entire property valuation, $50,000.00; 2 scholarship funds, $2,000.00. Maxwell Home and School R. F. D., Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina For Boys. Founded 1911. Government. — By trustees elected by the Home Mission Com- mittee of the Presbvterv of Asheville. THE Maxwell Home and School has as its aim: First, to save destitute boys from ignorance and vice; second, to teach them how to support themselves. We are reaching the children and the young people with the Gospel through the channel of Christian education. By giving a boy who is large enough to work $30 to $50 for a start, he can make his own way through school, and to a position of useful citizenship. A man and his devoted wife who live in the mountains of North Carolina, where they were born and reared, though not at all wealthy, gave a splendid farm of 500 acres for the purpose of es- tablishing this institution for homeless boys. This gift takes a great part of their property, which has been accumulated by their arduous toil and close economy. This work is under the care of the Home Mission Committee of Asheville Presbytery. It will be enlarged and made more efficient as funds come in for this purpose. The Maxwell Home and School, located at R. F. D., Frank- lin, Macon County, N. C, has 500 acres and 2 buildings, valued at $14,000. The school is in charge of Rev. C. B. Yeargan, Super- intendent, with 3 teachers, and 47 pupils. Bible study is required of all the students. 180 Mountain Mission Schools. Morrison Industrial School R. F. D., Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina For Girls. Founded 1911. Government. — By trustees elected by the Home Mission Com- mittee of the Presbytery of Asheville. MORRISON Industrial School is located in Franklin, Macon County, N. C, at the foot of the great Xanta- halah Mountains. The grounds and surroundings are ideal for school purposes. The buildings are situated in a grove and on a knoll overlooking the Little Tennessee Valley. These buildings are new and were designed especially for the kind of work that is being done. They were planned with a view to con- venience, comfort and sanitation. The object of this school is to give worthy girls of limited means the privileges of a first class academic education. There are vast numbers of young people in the mountains waiting for opportunities of this kind. The aim is three-fold: To train the hands, the mind and the heart. The domestic work is done by the girls, each one sharing in turn the several household duties. No servants are employed, thus making the dormitory a real home. By such methods the rates for board are greatly reduced and the girls are taught the art of good housekeeping. Teachers and pupils live together as one family, having the same table fare, etc. And above all else this is a Christian home, where the teachings of God's Word are held up as the standard for right living. Morrison Industrial School, located at R. F. D., Franklin, Alacon County, X. C, was established in 1911. It has 2 buildings valued at 810,000. The school is in charge of Miss Ethel V. Wallace, Principal, with 2 teachers and 60 pupils. Bible study is required of all the students.
