' No departure from regular rules will be made, except to post-graduates. A Word to Parents. Visiting you children is rather an injury than a benefit. Their visiting home is a positive disadvantage as a general rule. Send your children no eatables. Mite them encouraging 32 ' K M . 1

If - 1Mrs. S. K. Holt, having improved the best ad- vantages afforded in the United States, recently spent a year in Paris studying the Piano under Marmontel, and Voice under Viardot, of the Grand Opera of Paris. -P' ' , Louis Versel, graduate with high honors from Dr. Hoch's Conservatory in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, studied Composition, Harmony and Coun- terpoint with the eminent composer, Joachim Raffg Piano with Josef Rubinstein, Dr. Anton Urspruch and Frau Knorrg Voice Culture with Mat Fleisch, an exponent of the famous Rockhausen method, making, under Prof. Dr. Bernhard Scholz, special studies in Opera, Oratorio work and Songs and Chorus, training after Wullner's method. He has studied in'Pari- and in Frankfort, Germany, under the eminent com posers, Raff and Rubinstein. He has taught in Bos' ton and New York. Prof. Versel is an excellent vocalist, and possesses a rich, baritone voice, which gives him a high place in the musical world. Mr. Harrison holds a diploma from the Royal Conservatory in Dresden. l-le also has in his possession a genuine Amati violin, presented to him at his graduation, as a tribute to his marvelous gifts. He has the distinction of being one of the youngest artists to be favored by royalty. This young artist is the American Kubelik, Mr. Harrison has been as successful in teaching as in concertizing. This work, with advanced pupils, being such as to make virtuosi of those who had but to enjoy the advantages of his training to become masters of that most captious of instruments, the violin. Such a master is Mr. Harrison, and our musical South is fortunate, indeed, that he is among us, bringing with his gifts, as teacher and violinist, advantages equal to any offered abroad.-Dallas News. The Recitals and Concerts are especially calculated to create artistic enthusiasm among the pupils. They are considered indispensable advantages to a liberal education in music.

L. . E a . letters. They are as anxious to hear from you as you are to hear from them. Write at least once a week. ' . 1 Do not ask permission for'your children to visit persons residing in the town or adjacent coun- try, unless there are special reasons for it. Pupils going home or on a visit elsewhere must report to the President. If your daughters are so sick as to need your presence, you will be notified. lf your children complain, notify us, and the cause of complaint, if any, shall be removed, 'f possible. ' ' Let us be frank with one another. , Send your daughters to school to learn, rather than to graduate. ,The College cannot advance money for any incidental expenses, nor will it be responsible for any money not deposited in its care. ' 1 Purchases. .Strict economy will be enforced for the good of pupils, patrons, and the College: but if patrons furnish money to their children to spend without limit, they should not charge the College with their extravagance. Pupils will not be allowed to make bills in town without written permission from home. . Uniform Dress. - No extravagance in dress will be permitted, and, to prevent this we have adopted uniformity of dress among our boarding pupils, lt is altogether a mistaken idea that girls at school must dress extravagantly. They are not in society, nor have they any need for the follies of fashion- lable life. When young ladies come to school in September, they will be permitted to wear the plain white dresses they have been using during the summer, but by the last of October the winter uni- form must be ready. This will consist of some woolen fabric of navy-blue color and an inexpen- sive wrap. ' During the week the young ladies may wear whatever they may happen to have in the way of clothing, but when they appear upon,the streets, they must be attired in the College uniform. I Care of Pupils. We exercise parental care over all pupils as to health,-manners, and morals. We teach them to act from principle, and not from fearg to be lady-like at all times and in all places. it , We endeavor to make them comfortable in their rooms and in the school, and to feel that they are at home. 1 In case of sickness, they shall have the best nursing possible. ' Examinations and Reports. Each pupil on matriculation is examined and assigned to her proper place. If you have grade cards, bring them with you. - Written examinations will be held at the close of each month, which, combined with standing in daily class recitations, will determine the grade of the pupils, and from these reports will be made and forwarded to parents or guardian once a month. , ., To insure thoroughness there are frequent reviews, and no pupil whose average scholarship falls below 70 will be permitted to advance to a higher class. Every means is used to secure an honest, fair examination N , ,A , N ' j 33 Hikf 5. . , aft ,.- . .W ..,,.f.,. 1 , X
