FRIEN 8 SCHCDGL. 269912 HIS institution, for both sexes, is upon an eminence in the City 0 O of Providence, 182 feet above tide water. Most of the State of Rhode Island and a large District of M3SS3Cl1LlSCttS are in View from its cupola, while the beautiful shores of Narragansett Bay com- plete the picture. Moses Brown, of Providence, founded it in 1784. An endowment of ?H4100,000 came to the school in 1822, from Obadiah Brown, son of Moses, which money was produced at the Slater mill, and was the largest bequest to any school in the country at that date. The Yearly Meetiiig of Friends for New England has the care of it. A thorough, practical education for business life and the most ap- proved preparation for college are furnished. lVIany universities and colleges receive students from it on certiiicates without examination. The school has a large number of experienced teachers, and as far as practicable, they are specialists, limited to their several depart- ments. The Hue arts receive special attention. Excellent instruction is given in music. VVood carving has recently been added. It has an astronomical observatory, valuable apparatus for chemical and physical work, and a rich mineral cabinet. The library contains about seven thousand well-selected volumes. A very home-like and agree- able appearance has been given to the rooms by the use of large num- bers of beautiful pictures and busts. It has, this year, perfected its electric. lighting system, and nearly completed a most perfect system of heating and ventilation by direct steam and forced air, and no other school can now excel it in these respects. It added lately to its buildings one devoted exclusively to art, naming it because of the trees about it, 6' Studio of the Three Oaks. It is a unique and beautiful building for the purpose for which it was constructed. The educational force of an institution of this character is not lim- ited to school hoursg it is constant. The great benents of co-educa- tion are everywhere discernible. For particulars address Friends School, Providence, R. I. C27

Our object is to interest, to amuse, and not to abuse, and much of our energetic work will be marred should any of our innocent jests be taken too seriously. The editorial board recommends a careful perusal of the essay on Friends Schoolf' kindly contributed by Augustine Jones. To Mr. Thomas J. Battey we dedicate this volume of the ECHO. A man whose kind, sweet, and congenial soul appeals with a latent fascination to his students. Enshrouded in his mysteries of science, he exemplifies a strenuous life. A friend of all, and of all a friend. Reflecting upon each phase of school-life, we are overwhelmed with the remarkable evidence of progress. The Phoenix Lyceum has dashed to atoms the theory that a large membership impedes the mechanical workings of the society. The debates and other literary researches have proven proline in class Work.
