Lawndale, North Carolina 9 At a distance of not more than four hundred yards from the school are springs of health-giving sulphur and chalybeate water. Situated on the top of a majestic hill sloping in every direction, thus giving perfect natural drain¬ age; commanding a magnificent view of hills, vales, grassy, undulating plains, and of the Blue Ridge in the distance; shaded by a forest of stately oaks; enlivened by the music of rippling water; with ex¬ cellent drinking water and air free from the taint of malaria, nature has made this an ideal spot for an educational institution of a high order. But what has man done towards perfecting it? He has given us daily communication with all the world by telephone and telegraph, a railroad within a mile of the school, electric lights, water-works, dormitories adequately furnished, large recitation rooms fitted with patent desks of the most approved pattern, and last, but not least, by his efforts as instruments in God’s hands we are unpolluted by bar-rooms, gambling dens and other moral dangers of town and city life, which too often blight the lives of boys from Chris¬ tian homes and blast the hopes of their dearest friends. We are nearly one-half mile from Lawn¬ dale ; thus we have the advantage of the village with the perfect quiet of rural life so necessary to sus¬ tained mental effort.

A well organized Young Men’s Christian Asso¬ ciation is well attended. Two prayer meetings are held each week by the students, one by the girls and the other by the boys. These services are volun¬ tary, and while no one is forced to go, they are largely attended and a spirit of devotion is shown that is pleasant to witness. Cant is discouraged; but it has been the constant effort of the manage¬ ment of Piedmont High School to inculcate a spirit of reverence for God and veneration for holy things. The School is distinctly Christian, but it is not de¬ nominational. ENGLISH The object sought in this department is to give the student a thorough acquaintance with the language and with the best models of the literature, that he may know how to understand and use the one and appreciate and interpret the other. The sub¬ ject will be studied in three courses. To enter Course I the student should be acquainted with the ele¬ mentary forms of the language and have such knowl¬ edge of syntax and sentence structure as can be acquired from Hyde’s Book I or its equivalent. All students are required to complete and pass a satisfactory examination on the work of each course or its equivalent before entering upon that of the course next above. Students making a grade of less than 0 on the work of the Fall Term will not be
