The beautifully developed prop-1 erty is located on Youngs Road and; comprises 258 acres, rich in groves Of the long leaf pine, and in addi tion, has a large attractive lake, a swimming pool, extensive bridle paths, a gymnasium, and all facilities for outdoor sports. One of the large barns on the estate is being remodeled into a school building by Contractor C. J. Austin, from plans prepared by Architect A.! B. Yeomans. It will be a Colcnial j type building, with several large | classrooms. The main house on the j property will be used as a convent | and dormitory, housing 25 boarders, j Besides these exterior attractions, | the Academy will be provided with i the same splendid educational facili- j ties that exist in the many private j schools conducted by the Sisters of j Noti'e Dame de Namur throughout | the world, where they aim to main-j tain homelike surroundings conducive j to culture and refinement. Religious 1 and m< ral training being the prime! requisites of education, their pupils are taught to acquire a high stand ard of discipline and of work in all phases of their life. The Academy offers a complete course of studies to resident pupils, and to day pupils, boys and girls, of the primary and gi'ammar grades, as well as a thorough college prepara tory course for the high school for girls. The curriculum is uniform in essentials in all academies of the Sis ters of Notre Dame de Namur, but details vary according to local needs. The four-year college preparatory r 'Ui.se will satisfy the College En trance Board requirements and will prepare pupils for the best colleges of the North or South. Trinity Col- ]e^;e, Washington, D. C., has granted the special privilege of matriculation without further examinations to any pupil who attains a general of eighty- five percent in the Junior and Sen ior years.

THISTLJE CLUB TE.4 FOR MID-SOUTH GOLF PLAYERS UNABLE TO DROP CAR With but one exception, the Sea board Air Line Railway has acceded to the requests of the Chamber of C ommer-ce for various improvements in service at Southern Pines. Every thing asked at a conference between Chamber representatives and C. E. Bell, Passenger Traffic Manager cf the road, on March 12th is to be done, according to a le.^or received yester. day by Secretary H. J. Betterley ex cept, to quote from Mr. Bell's let ter: “We cannot dr'op from our morn ing train or pick up on our evening tr’ain a sleeping car at Southern Pines. The tracks layout is not suit able for this purp se. The delay to both trains would be extremely harm ful to desirability of through sche dules and the question of proper sanitary facilities within the city lim its is of paramount importance. We feel that the desirable hours for boarding and leaving trains passing Southern Pines makes the setting off and picking up of cars at that point unnecessary.” W'hat the Seaboard will do is ex plained in other paragraphs of Mr. Bell's communication: DeLu.vo t'oaches “We are arr’anging at the earliest possible moment to place de luxe type air-conditionea coaches on train •1 passing Southern Pines northward for Washington in the morning. ‘ The new schedules now in prepara tion will eleminate the meeting point of trains 192 and 3 at Southern Pines, taking care of the objectionable fea ture of 192 operating on the second track at Southern Pines. “The loading platform will be ex tended two car lengths south of Penn- sylvan‘a avenue and proper lighting facilities furnished for the exces.« length. “A bulletin board will be placed on tne Southern Pines Passenger Station giving the designations cf all Pull man cars arriving and the sequence thereof in the trains. “Passergers in rear Pullman cars of No. 107 southbound will be carried forward and unloaded at the station platform instead of between the tracks at the freight depot in the dark. “Instructions W'ill be renewed to train crews with respect to courteous and careful handling of passengers boarding and leaving trains at South ern Pines to insure .safety, and this feature will be clcsely supervised in the future. “Instructions will be renewed to engineers passing Southern Pines in the early morning to avoid urmeces- sary and loud blowing of locomotive whistles, annoying to the residents and guest sof Southern Pines.
