To The Patrons: We thank you for your past patron age, and ask the continuance of the same. The large number of graduates this institution has turned out, the most excellent work they are doing as teachers, and its high moral stand ard, makes this school one of the best in Eastern North Carolina. Your daughters are as safe here as at home. For the fifteen years of its existence not a single girl has been sent home on account of any immoral act committed in the institu tion. The school stands for high morals and thoroughness in studies While we feel proud of past achieve ments, we wish to accomplish more and better work than ever before. Not only the present time, but the future as well, demand that jour sons and daughters be educated and well trained. Unless they are, they may in the future become hewers of wood, and drawers of water. You should enter your sons and daughters promptly and keep them in until the close. When students come in late 'they are compelled to fall in lower grades, which very often go dlMCoui- ages them that their aspiration may be blasted for life. By your co-operation the institu tion will be a source of advantage and encouragement to the rising gen eration. ' School opens Tuesday, October the first. Pet Aversions of Prominent People.
