cadet corps. It develops men who can obey as well as command, who have self-control, initiative, brains, man- ners, and the highest standards of personal conduct and human relations.

A PICTURE OF THE CADETS AT PARADE poise of body that comes from superbly developed mus- cles and systematic exercise in the open air? Consider his habits and character. Is he obedient? Do you have to tell him twice to do a thing? Does he want to argue with you? Does he know twice as much as you knew at his age? Do you know who his com- panions are? Do you know where he goes and what he does? Is he neat? Is he orderly? Does he shine the heels of his shoes? Can he begin a thing and finish it? Does he respect his elders and superiors? These things are straws that show which way the wind blows. Castle Heights offers to help you answer these ques- tions and many others that must he answered if your hoy is to do his full part in this World. As a real school, Castle Heights believes that its pur- pose is to develop boys into outstanding men. Its pro- gram for endeavoring to accomplish this is definite, and resolves itself into six distinct heads: 1. Isolation. Castle Heights is located just outside the corporate limits of Lebanon, Tennessee, thirty miles from Nashville. This beautiful, historic little town of 8,000 inhabitants is a kind-hearted, Christian community which for eighty years has been the seat of Cumberland University. It has no atmosphere of bright lights, of questionable resorts, of city temptations and distractions. Here a boy breathes the clean air of the unspoiled country. 2. Faculty. Castle Heights faculty officers are gen- tlemen as well as scholars. They are men of experience and ability, each a specialist in his own line. The boy in his manifold moods and problems is an old story to them. They are here because they are ready and willing to make the development of your boy their personal and particular business. The faculty for the coming year is larger and stronger than it has been in the Academy's fifty years of success. 3. Equipment. Castle Heights is one of the best equipped boys' schools in the country. Its seventeen brick and stone buildings, including commodious audi- torium, gymnasium and swimming pool, generous sized classrooms, modern laboratory, beautiful mess-hall, ar- mory, memorial library, hospital, comfortable cadet quarters, spacious parade ground and athletic fields, place it in an enviable position. 4. Scholarship. Castle Heights scholarship is widely recognized. It is fully accredited. Its graduates enter the great colleges and universities without exam- ination and maintain themselves. No consideration comes ahead of scholarship here. The Military De- partment is subservient to the Academic. Athletics have their proper place and the school is famous for its teams. The best that modern educational thought and methods can offer awaits your boy. 5. Discipline. Castle Heights is essentially mili- tary because it believes that under no other system can mind, spirit and body be so successfully developed. It takes pride in the neat and military appearance of its
