COLUMBIA Mi,L1,T2ii2Y DGDACADEMY -1-'E?w 1s5fjagSE?E Gil Superior gjgtcuffy I-IE FACULTY makes a school. Attractive, modern buildings and beautiful grounds are necessary for comfort and satisfaction in a school as in a home, but they do not themselves make a school. Columbia Military Academy does offer you exceptional physical equipment, as you may see from the catalogue or from a personal visit to the school, but, what is much more significant, it offers you a very superior faculty. We wish to feature our faculty in your consideration of a school. The school has an unusual group of exceptional teachers. These teachers, either in Columbia Military Academy or in some other good school, have had long experience in training boys. They are making teach- ing their life work, and have made a special study of boy problems. They are, therefore, eminently qualified to produce the best results in the educa- tional development of youth. COLONEL D. E. SELLERS, B.A., M.Ed.
