two years' stay is three limes as valuable to him as one, and the gain to the cadet who remains three years is proportionately greater. The ideal as well as the most economical plan is to enter the boy as a freshman, and give him the cumulative advantages of the full four-year course. There is not a month of the year in which the Academy does not receive letters from parents the burden of which is, My only regret is that I did not send him to you sooner! Work at Castle Heights prepares a boy for whatever the world may have in store for him. If he is going to college, he will be pre- pared to get out of college the best there is in it. If he is to begin work, he will be ready to take up his new responsibilities with a mind accustomed to meet difficulties and conquer them.

The sophomore cadet completes Algebra through Quadratics, and COUUHUCS the Study of English with special reference to composi- tion. By this time his letters home should begin to be sources of real gratification-and just here the Academy wishes to call attention to its unique system of required letters home.
