The school is situated in the most healthful region east of the Mississippi River, in a climate giving the largest opportunity for outdoor life. 2. The grounds contain seven hundred acres of land, providing fields for sports, ponds, streams, woods and hills. This land was selected not only with regard to its usefulness, but also for the beauty of its surroundings. 3. The buildings were constructed especially for school purposes and are thoroughly sanitary. 4. The courses of study, though broad, are consistent, and give the best preparation to boys who desire to enter any college or technical school or to go into business. 5. The teachers are college graduates, chosen for their fitness to instruct and care for boys. 6. The boys are under the constant care and charge of the principals and of their families. 7. The religious teachings of the school are non-sec- tarian. [7] 8 A sh en ill e School. LOCATION To select the location best fulfilling the conditions mentioned the principals studied carefully the country east of the Mississippi River, and are convinced that the mountain region of Western North Carolina surpasses all others. They chose, therefore, a site near Asheville. CLIMATE This region is noted for its climate. Since it has an altitude of twenty-three hundred feet above sea level, its atmosphere is clear and dry, and it has more clear, sunny days than any other locality in the eastern part of the United States. The autumn weather is delight- ful and continues well into the winter, which, though short, is cold and bracing. Even in winter the air is so dry and the sun so bright as to make outdoor life pleasant at all times. From the first of March to the first of July the weather is mild and invigorating, and during this period there are few hot sultry days. ACCESSIBILITY Asheville is situated half way between Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico, and is reached by the through trains of the Southern Railway from New York via Phil- adelphia, Baltimore and Washington; from Cincinnati; from Atlanta; from New Orleans, and from Jacksonville. It is, therefore, easy of access from all parts of the country. MEETING To save parents unnecessary journeys and expense, PUPILS principals or instructors at the beginning of each term will meet pupils at New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore, Chicago and Cleveland, and conduct them to A s h ev i 1 1 e School . 9 Washington or to Cincinnati and thence to Asheville in Pullman cars reserved by the school. At the end of each term pupils will be returned to these points in the same manner. When there is sufficient patronage from localities other than those mentioned similar arrange- ments will be made for the transportation of pupils. The site chosen contains about seven hundred acres and is five miles west of Asheville, with which it is connected by the Southern Railway and an excellent macadamized road. The property is bounded on the east by Hominy Creek, which furnishes excellent canoe- ing facilities for several miles. Ragsdale Creek flows through the grounds for more than a mile. A dam of reinforced concrete, built across this creek, makes a large pond a mile in length used for swimming and boating and all kinds of aquatic sports. The buildings and play grounds are situated one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the creeks. Much of the land is suffi- ciently level to make fine fields for baseball, football, tennis, golf and other sports, and a large tract is densely wooded. Within two miles, north and south, mountains rise to a height of four thousand feet. On the east is the range of the Black Mountains culminating in Mt. Mitchell, six thousand seven hundred feet in altitude, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. On the west are the Balsam Mountains and ranges of the Blue Ridge with Mt. Pisgah, five thousand seven hundred feet in altitude. The views in all directions are very beautiful. 10 A s h e V 1 1 1 e School. THE HOUSE The House, the dormitory for boys of the lower forms, is of pleasing architecture, substantially built of brick and cement, and tasteful in finish. It is heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and equipped with an excellent system of ventilation, and with ample lava- tories and bathrooms provided with the best modern plumbing. THE The Senior House is a dormitory for the use of the SENIOR HOUSE g q£ j g upper two forms. This building is similar to the House in general appearance and construction, and is fitted with all modern conveniences for the comfort of the pupils. It has been named Percy Lawrence Hall, in memory of Millard Percy Lawrence, a member of the Class of 1906. THE SCHOOL The School, built of brick and cement, incorporates the best features of the most approved modern school buildings. It contains recitation rooms, library, lab- oratories, shops, study, auditorium and club rooms for the different school societies, and is heated by steam and lighted by electricity. OTHER BUILDINGS The dining-room and the boiler-house are detached buildings. This arrangement secures immunity from danger of fire, since there is no fire in the main buildings. There is also a gymnasium building equipped for use during inclement weather. AshetJille School. 11 All the water used in the buildings is brought by WATER pipes from mountain springs which are several hundred feet higher than the school and above all habitations. The system of drainage is perfect. All sewage is DRAINAGE carried in drains more than a mile from the buildings and emptied into a swift-flowing stream. The school has its own dairy and gardens, which DAIRY AND provide abundance of pure milk and wholesome vege- GARDENS tables. The teachers have been selected with reference to TEACHERS their recognized ability. All the teachers are college graduates who have had successful experience in the instruction and management of boys and have prepared themselves for this special work. The principals have the especial care and charge cARE OF BOYS of all the boys. Their desire is to know every boy inti- mately, so that natural aptitudes may be discovered, proper encouragement given, and defects of character remedied. Boys known to be vicious or persistently lazy will not be admitted; if unwittingly admitted they will not be retained. All forms of exercise are under the direct supervision of masters who are well qualified, both by natural ability and by training, for this kind of work. 12 Asheville School. Asheville has many excellent physicians and surgeons, one of whom is connected with the school. A trained nurse is a member of the school household. PHYSICAL The school physician makes examinations each year, EXAMINATION j g y g jj weaknesses and prescribe proper exercises to remedy them. EXERCISE Each pupil is required to exercise every day, out- of-doors when possible, otherwise in the gymnasium. It is the intention not only to encourage the usual school sports, but also to arrange for such pastimes as will develop individual talent and inventiveness. It is the convic- tion that, while football, baseball and track athletics are excellent training, they should be supplemented to a considerable degree by natural play. The neglect of this old-time play for the conventional routine of ath- letics leaves the boys too dependent upon others and lacking in resources. With the woods, streams, boats, hills, fields, and the shops, there are abundant oppor- tunities for all kinds of play. The pupils are divided into two clubs, known as the Whites and Blues, these being the school colors. These clubs have contests in the various athletic sports, to which certain points or credits are assigned. The Club whose members have won the greatest number of points is declared the winner for the year. Asheville School. 13 The school is not a sanatorium for sickly boys, but NOT A rather a place where boys may grow up and develop SANATORIUM under the most favorable conditions. Boys having tuber- cular troubles are not admitted. Effort is made to inculcate the essential teachings RELIGIOUS of religion. The school is not connected with any par- ticular denomination, but prayers of the Episcopal Service are read at the opening of the school each day; Church services are held on Sunday mornings; and Bible classes on Sunday evenings. The principals have given especial thought to the courses courses of study. Their purpose is to prepare the boys STUDY to enter any college or technical school, and to give a sound education to those who intend to go from school immediately into business life. In the selection and order of studies they have largely followed the recommendations of the Committee on College Entrance Requirements appointed by the National Educational Association to suggest ideal courses of study for secondary schools. During the first two forms, the so-called grammar or intermediate grades, the course of study is nearly the same for all boys. For the upper four forms there are two courses of study, the Classical and the Scientific. The Classical Course prepares boys to enter the academical department of any college or university. The Scientific Course prepares boys for technical schools, 14 Asheville School . and gives a thorough English education to those who go immediately into business. In each of these courses, although the principle of election is recognized, as for instance, between French and German in the Classical Course, yet a certain number of constants is required. The study of English, Mathematics, History, Science and Manual Training is required of all boys. The study of some foreign language, ancient or modern, is required in the Scientific Course, as necessary to a liberal edu- cation. MUSIC Instruction in Piano, Violin and Mandolin is provided. LIBRARY The library, called The Hillyer Holden Library, was founded by the gift of Mr. R. A. Holden, of Cincinnati, in memory of his son, Hillyer Holden. It contains well-selected works of reference and general literature and also the best periodicals. REQUIRE- MENTS FOR Boys to be admitted to the lowest form must be pro- ADMISSiON ficient in reading and spelling easy English, and must know Arithmetic through decimal fractions, and the Geography of the United States, Europe and Asia. Arrangements may be made, however, for the instruc- tion of boys who show minor deficiencies in any of the elementary studies. Applicants for advanced standing will pass such examinations as are considered necessary, and will be A shed ill e School. 15 placed in the forms suited to their proficiency. No new students are admitted to the sixth form and no change in the course of study is permitted after the student has begun the work of the sixth form. Every applicant must furnish a record of his previous work and must present a certificate of honorable dismissal from his former school. A set of examination papers showing the work which must be done by a pupil of any form before he is promoted to the next higher form will be sent on application. Promotions are based upon the daily work of the PROMOTIONS pupils, upon tests, and upon examinations which are held at the end of the first and second terms on the work of these terms and at the end of the school year on the work of the year. A Certificate of Graduation is given to every boy GRADUATION who completes successfully the work of the sixth form. Honors of two grades are given. Honors of the HONORS first grade are given to boys who have received no marks lower than satisfactory in deportment, and 80 in industry and scholarship, and honors of the second grade to boys who have received no marks lower than satisfactory in deportment and 80 in industry and no marks lower than 70 in scholarship. 16 A s h ev i 1 1 e School. EXAMINATIONS The stated examinations for admission to Harvard, t rr,j-,r T c, Yale and Princeton are given at the school. The exam- CERTIFICATES ° FOR ADMISSION inations of the College Entrance Examination Board admitting to all colleges which require examinations for admission are held at the school. Certificates of the school are accepted by all colleges which accept students on certificate. GENERAL Important letters and telegrams should be addressed ANNOUNCE jjg principals. All requests should be made to the MENTS . principals direct and not through the boys. All business dealings must be between the parents and the principals and cheques should be made payable to Asheville School. The school provides all needed articles except the following, which each boy should bring with him: Bible, prayer-book, hymnal, toilet articles, face-towels, bath towels, wash-cloths, soap. Each boy should be pro- vided with the usual clothing worn during the fall and winter months and in addition should have rubber coat or mackintosh and water-proof boots. All articles of clothing must be marked plainly with the boy ' s full name. Each boy ' s teeth should receive careful attention before he comes to us, and in case trouble with the eyes is suspected a careful examination by a competent oculist should be made. All mail matter, express packages, and freight should be sent in care of Asheville School to secure prompt delivery. A sheville School . 17 Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harmful since there is no occasion for any extraordinary expenditure. Parents are, therefore, urged to give small allowances, and are requested to indicate their pleasure concerning the manner of payment and to specify what expenses the allowances should cover. Parents who desire the principals to take charge of the allowance money should make a deposit each half year for that purpose. All payments stop when the deposit is exhausted. Boxes and packages of food are forbidden without special permission of the principals. Boys are forbidden to contract any debts whatso- ever or to run any account without permission of the principals and they shall not sell or trade personal prop- erty of value without the written permission of their parents and the consent of the principals. Damages to school property in rooms or alcoves will be repaired at the cost of the occupant of the room or alcove affected. Boys will not be permitted to remain away from the school over night. The use of liquor is absolutely forbidden. Boys found guilty of indulging in this habit will not be retained. If the influence of any boy is believed to be harm- ful to the school, apart from any overt acts of dis- obedience or insubordination, he may be summarily dismissed. 18 A shev ille School. The deportment, industry and scholarship of each boy are made known to his parents or guardian every four weeks. All text books and stationery used may be pur- chased at the school at regular rates. Boys should bring with them the books they studied during the past year. EXPENSE There are no extra or incidental expenses. There- fore parents may know in advance what the cost for a school-year will be. The tuition fee covers the living expenses except for clothing, and all school expenses except for books and stationery. This fee is $800, payable S400 at the opening of school in September, and $400 on February first. No repayment of any part of a semi-annual fee will be made in case of dismissal, withdrawal or absence. A semi-annual assessment is made for the Athletic Association for the use and maintenance of the various school teams — crews, baseball, football, basketball, tennis, golf and the track athletics. This assessment provides articles used by the school teams which are not personal or individual property, and purchases the trophies awarded. All expense for equipment and maintenance of play-grounds is borne by the school. This semi-annual fee is $7.50 for boys of the upper four forms and $5 for boys of the lower two forms. The fee for instruction in instrumental music is $70, payable $35 at the opening of school in September and $35 on February first. This fee includes the use of instruments for practice. HE Courses of Study mention the minimum requirements for each form. Pupils of either course are permitted and encouraged to take studies of the other course when additional work can be done profitably. Each pupil must take all studies required for entrance to the college of his choice. Both Physics and Chemistry must be taken by pupils of the Scientific Course, and each pupil of this course must take such languages — Latin, German or French — as his chosen college requires for admission. Pupils who intend to offer two years of German and two years of French for admission to college will take German in the third and fourth forms and French in the fifth and sixth forms. FIRST FORM.
