HE SUCCESS OF THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN DUE IN GREAT PART TO ITS LOCATION, FAR REMOVED FROM THE DISTRACTIONS AND EXCITEMENTS OF A LARGE CITY. If THE IDEAL SCHOOL MUST MAKE ITS HOME IN THE QUIET HILLS, CLOSE TO NATURE, AND FAR REMOVED FROM THE ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS OF CITY LIFE. IIIF PARENTS ARE GOING TO SEND A BOY AWAY TO A BOARDING SCHOOL, THEY SHOULD SELECT A SCHOOL'THAT IS AS FAR DIFFERENT FROM A DAY SCHOOL AS POSSIBLE. lf A COUN- TRY SCHOOL SHOULD BE IN THE COUNTRY, ON A FARM SUR- ROUNDED BY FARMS, IN THE HILLS AND HILLBOUND. ,THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF WILD, ROUGH COUNTRY FOR A BOY TO EXPLORE, AND WOODS, WATERFALLS AND LAKES. IF A SCHOOL CANNOT BOAST OF THESE ADJUNCTS, THERE IS NO NECESSITY OF SELECTING A BOARDING SCHOOL AT ALL, AS A CITY SCHOOL WILL DO QUITE AS WELL. QITHE FREEDOM FROM TEMPTATION OF THE COUNTRYSIDE AROUND MANLIUS, THE GOOD AIR AND PURE WATER, ARE SOME REASONS WHY WE PREFER TO HAVE CITY BOYS COME TO US INSTEAD OF MOVING THE SCHOOL NEAR THE CITY. lf WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS A GREAT PART OF EDUCATION TO TEACH A BOY TO LOVE NATURE AND WE ARE HAPPILY IN ONE OF THE GARDEN SPOTS OF THE COUNTRY. NO SCHOOL COULD BE LOCATED IN MORE BEAUTIFUL HILLS THAN IN THIS SPOT IN CENTRAL NEW YORK, IN THE VERY HEART OF WONDERFUL GEO- LOGICAL FORMATIONS AND VARIETY OF LANDSCAPE. lf THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE ACRES OF SCHOOL LAND ARE LARGELY LEFT IN THE UNTRAMMELLED WOODS OF THE TIME OF THE ONONDAGA INDIANS. SUFFICIENT HAS BEEN CULTI- VATED FOR ITS CAMPUS, ATHLETIC FIELD AND ITS GOLF COURSE SO THAT A BOY MAY BE CLOSE TO NATURE RIGHT IN HIS SCHOOL HOME. II THE EFFECT OF THIS IS TO TEMPT A BOY OUT INTO THE OPEN. THIS TAKES HIM OUT OF HIMSELF AND WITH THE FREE AIR AND FREE LIFE HE IS FAR MORE AMENABLE TO OUR SIMPLE SCHOOL RULES AND FAR MORE READY FOR WORK THAN A BOY OF THE PLAINS OR THE CITY.
