All  enterprises  of  great  success  and  use-

Backward. 

years   a   few   faithful   men   and   women 

have  worked  and  prayed  and  planned  to  have  a 
strong,  useful  educational  institution  in  Cary.  Their 
efforts  have  not  been  in  vain.  The  liberal  patron- 
age, the  excellent  record  of  former  pupils  in  our  col- 
leges and  in  active  life,  and  the  unusually  kind 
words  of  patrons,  friends  and  the  press  all  give  evi- 
dence of  the  success  of  the  enterprise.  The  building, 
grounds  and  equipment  have  been  improved  from 
year  to  year,  until  we  now  have  a  large  and  conve- 
nient building  in  one  of  the  most  desirable  locations 
in  the  State. 

As  we  begin    preparations    for    another 

2.  A  look  year   we   are   greatiy   encouraged.     The 

community  has  maintained  its  reputa- 
tion for  loyalty  to  the  school.  Its  patronage  was  full 
and  regular.  The  great  growth  was  in  the  number 
of  non-resident  pupils.  There  was  an  increase 
of  32  per  cent,  in  this  patronage.  "We  wish  to  thank 
our  pupils  and  friends  for  their  aid  in  enlarging  the 
non-resident  patronage.  "We  ask  for  continued  sup- 
port and  cooperation  and  promise  our  best  efforts 
in  maintaining  our  high  standard  of  scholarship,  and 
that  vigilance  which  is  necessary  in  guarding  the 
moral  and  spiritual  welfare  of  our  pupils.

periment  in  all  candor,  that  if  you  have  not  de- 
Station.       cided    to    enter    school    in    good    faith, 

under  the  requirements  of  our  catalogue,  we  much 
prefer  that  you  do  not  enter  at  all — at  least  until 
you  may  have  reached  such  a  decision.  Constant  shift- 
ing in  a  student-body  means  endless  confusion  to 
teachers  and  little  or  no  profit  to  pupils.  All  pupils 
are  expected  to  enter  for  a  full  term  of  five  months, 
or  for  the  balance  of  the  term.  Since  this  Catalogue 
is  our  only  means  of  communication,  we  shall  con- 
sider that  all  pupils  matriculating  thereby  agree  to 
the  above  terms,  unless  satisfactory  arrangements 
have  been  previously  made. 

However  much  we  may  be  interested  in 

4.  Not  a  Re-  ^e  reformation  of  bad  boys,  we  could  not 

take  the  risk  of  endangering  the  charac- 
ter of  many  others  for  the  hope  of  benefiting  one. 
Because  of  the  excellent  moral  atmosphere  of  Cary, 
and  its  numerous  incentives  to  noble  living,  many 
boys  have  been  strengthened  morally  while  under 
our  tuition,  but  we  are  too  busily  engaged  otherwise, 
to  devote  our  time  to  the  subordination  of  pupils  who 
have  never  been  taught  to  respect  just  authority,  or 
to  tolerate  for  any  considerable  time  such  as  persist 
in  the  practice  of  evil  habits.  We  reserve  the  right 
to  suspend  any  pupils  whose  influence  is  known  to 
be  injurious  or  demoralizing  to  the  student  body. 

Many  farmers  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 

5.  When  to  grace  ^0  h.aVe  farm  work  a  few  weeks 

behind  that  of  their  neighbors,  think  it 
all  right  to  enter  their  children  from  one  to  eight 
weeks  behind  their  classes.  With  late  planting  they 
expect  poor  crops,  but  ask  for  good  results  in  school 
with  late  entrance.  The  first  is  as  possible  and  prob- 
able as  the  last.  Going  to  school  is  a  business,  and 
no  one  ever  engages  in  any  business  more  important. 


CABY  HIGH  SCHOOL.  7 

If  one  fail  in  business  he  may  start  again,  but  if  edu- 
cation is  neglected,  lost  opportunities  can  never  be 
regained.  We  urge  all  to  be  present  as  early  in  the 
session  as  possible,  and  be  sure  to  plan  for  the  whole 
term.

Pay.  dental  expenses  are  due  from  the  begin- 

ning, besides  the  salaries  of  teachers.  Usually  it 
causes  no  inconvenience  for  patrons  to  pay  in  ad- 
vance. "We  are  trying  to  run  our  school  on  business 
principles,  and  to  do  this  we  must  have  our  patrons 
deal  with  us  in  the  same  way.  In  order  to  show 
good  faith,  we  request  each  patron  to  make  some 
payment  on  entrance,  and  pay  balance  of  first  quarter 
on  presentation  of  statement  after  assignment  to 
grades  and  classes.  If  this  can  not  be  done,  let  in- 
dulgence be  asked  for,  so  there  can  be  no  misunder- 
standing. 

Pupils  frequently  discontinue  their  work  in  the 
midst  of  a  term  without  previous  arrangement  and 
ask  for  a  pro  rata  discount  in  tuition.  In  the  future 
patrons  or  pupils  wishing  indulgence  on  tuition  or  ex- 
pecting to  discontinue  before  end  of  term  must  make 
such  statement  in  writing  within  ten  days  after  ad- 
mission. This  is  done  to  prevent  misunderstanding. 
In  no  case  will  discounts  be  made  for  such  absence 
during  the  last  three  weeks  of  a  term.

they  sign  the  following:  "In  entering  Cary  High 
School,  I  agree  to  obey  all  rules  necessary  to  good 
order  and  efficient  work.  I  shall  consider  and  re- 
spect the  rights  of  landlords,  teachers  and  fellow-stu- 
dents."

VI.     Who  We  Are. 

1.  E.  L.  Middleton. — The  Principal  has  heen  in  the 
school  work  for  sixteen  years.  His  nine  years'  labor 
in  Cary  bear  testimony  to  his  zeal  and  fitness  for  his 
position.  He  has  a  large  number  of  endorsements 
from  prominent  men  and  former  patrons.  Such  men 
can  not  afford  to  endorse  a  school  which  is  not  of 
high  grade.     Among  these  men  are: 

(1)  Dr.  F.  P.  Venable,  President  University  of 
North  Carolina. 

(2)  Dr.  Chas.  E.  Taylor,  President  Wake  Forest 
College. 

(3)  Dr.  John  C.  Kilgo,  President  Trinity  College. 

(4)  Prof.  F.  P.  Hobgood,  President  Oxford  Semi- 
nary. 

(5)  Dr.  B.  F.  Dixon,  State  Auditor  of  North  Caro- 
lina. 

(6)  Rev.  L.  Johnson,  Corresponding  Secretary  Bap- 
tist Mission  Board  of  North  Carolina. 

(7)  Dr.  W.  C.  Tyree,  Pastor  First  Baptist  Church, 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(8)  Dr.  E.  A.  Yates,  Professor  Biblical  Literature, 
Trinity  College. 

(9)  Dr.  J.  M.  Covington,  Wadesboro,  N.  C. 

The  school  is  well  known  by  many  men  who  have 
not  patronized  it.  By  permission,  the  Principal  re- 
fers you  to  the  following: 

(1)  Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Superintendent  Public  In- 
struction for  North  Carolina,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(2)  Dr.  R.  T.  Vann,  President  Baptist  University 
for  Women,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(3)  Dr.  E.  W.  Sikes,  Professor  History  Wake  For- 
est College,  Wake  Forest,  N.  C. 

(4)  Dr.  T.  N.  Ivey,  editor  Christian  Advocate,  Ral- 
eigh, N.  C. 

(5)  J.  W.  Bailey,  editor  Biblical  Recorder,  Ral- 
eigh, N.  C.

(6)  Josephus  Daniels,  editor  News  and  Observer, 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(7)  John  A.  Oates,  editor  North  Carolina  Baptist, 
Fayetteville,  N.  C. 

(8)  Clarence  H.  Poe,  editor  Progressive  Farmer,

(9)  N.  B.  Broughton,  Publisher,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 
(10)  Hon.  E.  W.  Pou,  Member  Congress  from  North 

Carolina,  Smithfield,  N.  C. 

(11)  Rev.  G.  T.  Adams,  pastor  Centenary  M.  E. 
Church,  South,  New  Bern,  N.  C. 

2.  O.  J.  Jones. — From  many  applicants  Mr.  Jones 
was  elected  one  year  ago.  His  work  has  fully  justi- 
fied the  wisdom  of  the  choice.  He  has  been  faithful, 
energetic  and  successful.  He  has  in  every  way  proven 
that  the  following  endorsements  are  true: 

Dr.  Kilgo  writes:  "You  will  be  very  fortunate  to 
secure  his  services.  He  is  a  young  man  of  unques- 
tioned integrity  and  will  render  you  a  very  high  or- 
der of  service."  Prof.  S.  A.  Stewart,  his  former  em- 
ployer, says:  "I  consider  him  an  excellent  teacher. 
He  is  scholarly  and  thorough.  He  commands  the  re- 
spect of  his  students  and  has  a  deep  hold  upon 
them."  Rev.  J.  H.  West,  P.  E.  Morganton  District, 
writes:  "He  was  regarded  as  a  fine  teacher  at  Stan- 
ley Creek,  giving  universal  satisfaction.  I  believe  he 
will  prove  to  be  a  valuable  acquisition  to  your 
School."  A  former  patron  says:  "He  gave  great  sat- 
isfaction here,  having  the  respect  of  patrons  and  pu- 
pils alike.  He  is  a  fine  young  man  in  every  way,  as 
true  as  steel  and  as  solid  as  a  rock."  Others  say  the 
same  good  things  of  him.  The  public  may  expect 
former  high  standards  in  his  departments  to  be 
maintained. 

3.  Miss  Stella  Pasmore. — The  standards  of  this 
department  have  always  been  very  high.    These  have 


10  CARY  HIGH  SCHOOL, 

been  maintained  with  Miss  Pasmore  in  charge.  She 
has  taught  with  great  success  in  private  and  public 
schools  in  Wake,  Johnston  and  Robeson  counties.  She 
has  made  primary  work  her  special  study  for  nine 
years.  With  this  broad  experience,  her  tact  and  pa- 
tience, she  has  done  much  for  the  School.  She  is  emi- 
nently competent  to  teach  any  advanced  classes  as- 
signed to  her.  Her  methods  are  modern,  practical 
and  interesting.  Her  pupils  become  intensely  inter- 
ested in  their  work. 

4.  Alice  F.  Best. — The  music  and  elocution  de- 
partments have  been  kept  to  the  high  standards  of 
the  past.  The  departments  were  never  so  well  filled 
with  pupils.  The  pupils  under  her  care  showed  the 
thoroughness  of  their  training  in  our  last  commence- 
ment. A  few  opinions  of  her  and  her  work  are  given 
below:  "She  is  a  refined,  cultured,  conscientious 
Christian  woman.  I  believe  she  will  do  your  work  in 
music  and  elocution  satisfactorily."  "She  is  thor- 
oughly alive  to  her  work  and  profession,  and  was  con- 
sidered a  first-class  teacher.  As  a  boarder  in  our 
home,  she  impressed  us  as  a  splendid  Christian  wo- 
man." "I  can  highly  recommend  Miss  Best  as  an  elo- 
cutionist.    She  has  a  natural  aptitude  for  that  work." 

5.  Etta  F.  Peace. — During  last  year  the  growth  of 
patronage  was  such  as  to  enable  the  principal  to  put 
in  a  teacher  to  aid  in  grammar  grades.  Miss  Peace 
has  taught  for  two  years  with  success.  Her  last  em- 
ployer says  of  her:  "She  is  an  efficient  and  success- 
ful teacher,  beloved  by  patrons  and  pupils,  who  join 
me  in  recommending  her  for  any  place  for  which  she 
may  wish  to  apply."  Dr.  Jas.  Dinwiddie,  President 
Peace  Institute,  says:  "She  is  a  young  woman  of 
highest  qualities  and  of  the  finest  character  in  every 
way.  I  can  commend  her  without  reserve  for  any 
position  for  which  she  applies.  She  is  a  young  wo- 
man of  marked  ability  and  sterling  worth."

VII.  What  We  Want. 
Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with,  us  in 
our  work.  Those  who  have  the  courage 
to  see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatis- 
faction, rather  than  break  a  contract  or  backbite  and 
malign  a  worthy  institution.  Those  who  honor  a 
contract  with  a  school  teacher  as  much  as  one  with 
a  grocer. 

Who  realize  that  mental  force  is  superior 
2.  Boys 

to  physical  force.     Boys  of  good  habits 

who  want  an  education  and  are  willing  to  work  for 
it.  Boys  who  see  the  great  possibilities  lying  before 
men  of  the  rising  generation. 

Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 
hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in 
woman's  sphere  and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  them- 
selves for  the  noble  callings  now  open  to  women. 
Girls  who  prefer  well-stored  brains  and  counten- 
ances beaming  with  intelligence  to  servile  obedience 
to  the  whims  of  fashion. 

Pupils  Not  Wanted. 
Who  do  not  want  an  education.  Boys 
who  curse,  swear,  play  cards,  and  use 
intoxicants  in  any  way  or  degree.  Boys  who  are 
boisterous  and  indifferent  to  the  rights  of  fellow-stu- 
dents, teachers  and  landlords.  Boys  who  are  habit- 
ual grumblers  and  malcontents.  Boys  who  wilfully 
disobey  necessary  rules.  Boys  who,  concerning  their 
course  of  study,  know  more  of  their  needs  than  the 
principal.  Boys  who  enter  on  trial  and  stay  only  a 
short  time. 

Who  are  unwilling  to  work  for  an  edu- 
cation.     Girls    who    will    risk    personal 
character  and  that  of  a  school  to  carry  their  point. 
Girls  who  are  unwilling  to  obey  rules  made  for  their 
welfare  and  protection.

V1I1.     What  We  Do. 

1.  For  the  The  School  is  not  under  the  control  of 
Heart.  any  religious  denomination,  but  is  thor- 
oughly permeated  with  the  spirit  of  Christianity. 
Only  teachers  of  recognized  Christian  character  are 
employed,  and  students  of  every  denomination,  or  of 
no  church  affiliations,  are  received  on  equal  grounds 
in  all  respects.  It  is  our  policy  to  divide  the  teach- 
ers as  equally  as  possible  among  the  denominations 
represented  by  the  patrons  of  the  school.  In  no  case 
will  any  influence  be  allowed  which  might  draw  a 
pupil  away  from  his  church  moorings.  As  far  as  pos- 
sible, the  wholesome  influence  of  a  Christian  home  is 
thrown  around  our  students.  While  character  is  be- 
ing formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are  being  made, 
the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a  most  won- 
derful field  of  usefulness. 

The  School  is  opened  every  morning  with  devo- 
tional exercises.  Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  Baptist 
church,  and  a  mission  of  the  Episcopal  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  at- 
tend the  services  of  these  churches  and  Sunday 
School  regularly. 

It  is  our  plan  to  cultivate  our  students 

2.  For  the  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 

ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the 
class-room  and  in  after  life  can  not  be  realized.  To 
this  end,  we  have  foot-ball  and  baseball  grounds, 
and  students  are  encouraged  to  take  sufficient  out- 
door exercise. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 

3.  For  the  vjew — i0  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  edu- 
cate a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him,  draw 
out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  hetero- 
geneous mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged 
to  do  as  much  original  thinking  as  possible.    In  addi- 


CARY  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

tion  to  mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those 
essentials  in  education  tending  to  culture  and  refine- 
ment, and  those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and 
women  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  fu- 
ture work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  col- 
lege. Frequent  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in 
spelling,  reading  and  writing.  In  English  Grammar, 
pupils  are  trained  in  the  correct  use  of  the  language 
by  frequent  exercises  in  written  work.  "When  the 
pupil  has  acquired  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  tech- 
nical principles  of  grammar  the  critical  study  of  Eng- 
lish Classics  is  emphasized. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  give  as 
broad  culture  as  possible  and  yet  magnify  the  practi- 
cal parts.  The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason 
from  cause  to  effect,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  make 
practical  application  of  every  lesson  imparted.  Our 
methods  of  instruction  are  varied  with  a  view  to 
arousing  and  holding  a  live  interest  in  the  work. 

IX.     Where  We  Are  and  What  We  Have. 

Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desi- 
rability of  the  location.  It  is  both  health- 
ful and  beautiful.     The    moral    atmosphere    of    the 
town  of  Cary  could  not  be  excelled  in  the  State.   The 
society  in  the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating 
to  the  youth  that  will  attend  the  institution.     No  bet- 
er  railroad  facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State 
— just  at  the  junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern 
Railways,   eight   miles  west  of   Raleigh.     The  town 
was  chartered  dry,  and  is  fortified  against  the  possi- 
bilty  of  alcoholic  drinks  ever  being  sold  in  or  near  it. 
Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  re- 
gions   and    has    excellent   water.     Few 
towns  can  show  a  better  health  record.    Lest  there  be 
misapprehensions,  we  explain  the  illness  of  last  year.

14  CARY  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

During  the  spring  term  there  were  epidemics  of  grip, 
measles  and  some  whooping-cough.  There  was  not  a 
single  case  of  illness  in  the  student  body  caused  by 
any  local  conditions.  The  young  man  who  died  con- 
tracted pneumonia  while  at  home  and  was  never  able 
to  return  to  Cary. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  campus 
of  oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor 
there  are  four  large  and  well-lighted  class-rooms — 
which  may  be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — 
dining-hall,  reading-room,  library,  and  four  music- 
rooms.  On  the  second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron

class-rooms  have  folding  desks,  charts 
and  maps.  The  Society  hall  has  chairs,  tables  and

pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  com- 
fortable furniture. 

X.     General  Culture. 

1.  Literary  The  Clay  Society  for  young  men  and  the 
Societies.  Browning  Society  for  girls  meet  once  a 
week  for  exercises  in  debate,  composition  and  elocu- 
tion. All  members  are  required  to  take  part  in 
the  exercises.  Most  excellent  results  have  been  ob- 
tained during  the  past  year.  The  good  to  be  derived 
from  this  work  can  not  be  overestimated.  It  gives  a 
knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates  a 
fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  express- 
ing in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed 
by  many  people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and 
things,  and  as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior.  We 
want  original  thought,  and  there  is  no  field  broader 
and  more  capable  of  yielding  rich  harvest.      We  be-

lieve  the  boys  and  girls  need  the  supervision  of  teach- 
ers as  much  in  their  society  work  as  in  the  class- 
room. And  while  the  management  of  each  society  is 
left  largely  to  its  members,  who  perform  all  official 
duties,  the  Principals  do  not  hesitate  to  make  or  un- 
make regulations  when  in  their  judgment  the  best 
interests  of  the  societies  demand  it.  All  boarding 
pupils  over  fifteen  years  old  will  be  required  to  be 
members  of  these  societies. 

A  library  of  400  volumes  has  been  col- 
y.  ig^ed,  to  which  additions  are  constantly 
being  made.  Every  volume  is  carefully  examined, 
and  nothing  except  literature  of  high  order  is  allowed 
on  our  shelves.  We  have  many  volumes  of  biogra- 
phy, history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose  and 
poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson, 
Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and 
others. 

No  other  preparatory  school  in  North 
3.  Reading:-    Carolina  has  a  better  reading-room.     On 

our  files  are  Review  of  Reviews,  World's 
Work,  Outlook,  McClure's,  Cosmopolitan,  Munsey, 
Frank  Leslie,  Youth's  Companion,  Success,  with  a 
large  number  of  State  and  National  periodicals  and 
two  excellent  educational  monthlies.  All  pupils  have 
access  to  the  reading-room  every  day,  and  during  the 
past  year  it  was  largely  used. 

XI.     What  Our  Pupils  Do. 

In  the  South,  no  secondary  school  can  confine  it- 
self to  one  specific  line  of  work.  We  have  two  gen- 
eral ends  in  view — one  to  prepare  boys  and  girls  for 
college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great  mass  of  our  students 
for  the  active  duties  of  life.  In  the  latter  class  we 
can  point  with  pride  to  young  men  and  women  who 
are  becoming  strong  factors  in  the  social,  industrial 
and  church  life  of  their  several  communities.     In  the 


16  CARY  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

former  class  our  pupils  are  doing  us  honor  while 
honoring  themselves. 

During  last  year  our  pupils  led  their  classes  in 
three  colleges  and  stood  high  in  several  other  institu- 
tions. Very  few  secondary  schools  send  a  larger  per 
cent,  of  their  senior  classes  to  college. 

During  last  year  we  had  a  large  number  of  former 
pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  "Wake  Forest  Col- 
lege, A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Baptist  Univer- 
sity for  Women,  N.  C.  Normal  and  Industrial  College, 
Oxford  Seminary,  and  Littleton  Female  College.  This 
does  not  include  several  of  our  students  who  went 
directly  from  our  school  to  professional  schools.  Sev- 
eral of  our  students  at  these  colleges  have  graduated 
magna  cum  laude. 

XII.     Record  of  Work,. 
1.  Examina-  Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how  often 
tions.  or  k0W  difficult  examinations  should  be. 

We  require  written  examinations  of  all  pupils  on  all 
studies  during  each  quarter,  but  these  examinations 
are  short  and  at  such  times  as  will  give  the  pupils 
an  opportunity  of  telling  what  they  know,  and  not 
what  has  been  "crammed"  in  their  heads  for  a  special 
occasion.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  recitations, 
and  an  average  mark  is  secured  from  these  two 
sources. 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  ten 
epo    s.     -^gejjg^    ^-e   keep,  an   parents   informed 

regarding  the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attend- 
ance of  their  children. 

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.  Low  marks  on 
scholarship  are  not  necessarily  a  sign  of  poor  work. 
A  poor  mark  on  deportment  needs  immediate  atten- 
tion. 


CART  HIGH  SCHOOL.  17 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 
is  posted.  To  be  entitled  to  a  place  on 
this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  schol- 
arship, 95  on  attendance,  and  excellent  deportment. 
To  be  on  the  annual  Honor  Roll,  a  pupil  must  have 
been  on  all  the  quarterly  Rolls  of  Honor. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  will  be  awarded  to  the 
pupil  in  the  High  School  making  the  highest  scholar- 
ship during  next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil 
must  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year. 

Prizes  will  be  given  on  same  conditions  for  highest 
mark  in  Grammar  Grades  and  Primary  Department. 

Medals  will  also  be  awarded  for  excellence  in  de- 
bate, essay  writing,  declamation  and  recitation. 
4.  Gradua-     In  the  course  of  study  there  are  seven  de- 

tion.  partments — Latin,     English,     Mathemat- 

ics, History,  Greek,  French,  and  Elementary  Science. 

The  first  five  of  these  are  considered  Majors  and 
the  last  two  Minors.  To  receive  a  certificate  of  profi- 
ciency a  pupil  must  have  completed  the  work  in  three 
Majors  or  two  Majors  and  the  two  Minors.  General 
History  may  be  counted  a  Minor.  All  candidates  for 
certificates  must  take  one  year  in  all  Major  except 
Greek.  Pupils  must  average  eighty-five  per  cent,  on 
each  year's  work  in  each  course.  Deficits  on  work  of 
the  Junior  year  must  be  made  up  during  the  first 
quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and  deficits  during  Senior 
year  must  be  made  up  promptly.

sity  to  a  civilized  people.    It  is  the  most 

extensively  cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appre- 
ciated of  all  the  fine  arts.  A  thorough  and  conscien- 
tious course  in  music  will  certainly  carry  with  its 
manual  training,  mental  and  heart  training  also. 
Many  now  study  music  who  never  expect  to  teach  or

become  performers,  because  of  the  enlarged  capacity 
to  enjoy  good  music  that  comes  from  such  a  course  of 
study,  and  because  tbey  realize  that  all  cultivation  of 
the  fine  arts  is  an  upward  and  forward  step. 

Our  purpose  is  to  train  pupils  on  technic  and  such 
a  course  of  study  as  tends  to  give  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers.

even  in  our  conservative  South,  have  been  opened  to 
see  not  only  the  beauty  and  grandeur,  but  the  practi- 
cal importance  of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inele- 
gant speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from  the 
field  to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both 
brain  and  body. 

To  give  due  expression  to  our  thoughts  and  feel- 
ings, we  must  learn  to  apply  the  principles  of  Pitch, 
Force,  Time,  Stress,  Emphasis,  Modulation  and  Ca- 
dence to  the  various  qualities  of  tone,  selected  with 
proper  reference  to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed."  Ex- 
pression also  teaches  Self  Control,  Ease,  Polish,  Ad- 
dress, Fluency,  etc. 

The  policy  of  the  School  is  to  make  no

no  separate  departments  for  this  study. 

Too  many  boys  and  girls  are  being  misled  by  induc- 
ing them  to  take  a  business  course  before  their  men- 
tal development  or  experience  in  life  warrants  it. 
This  study  is  pursued  as  a  part  of  our  work  in  Arith- 
metic, and  is  intended  to  prepare  pupils  for  a  more 
advanced  study  of  the  subject,  or  fit  them  for  man- 
aging their  own  business  as  farmers,  merchants,  arti- 
sans, etc.  The  work  is  elementary,  and  we  make  no 
extra  charge  for  it.

Course. 

They  often  wish  to  prosecute  their  stud- 
ies further.  We  wish  to  aid  them.  During  the  first 
two  months  of  the  fall  term  we  offer  free  literary  tui- 
tion to  all  bona  fide  public  school  teachers  and  half 
rates  through  the  remainder  of  the  year.  Persons 
securing  these  terms  must  have  taught  at  least  one 
term  in  the  public  schools.  We  can  not  form  special 
classes  for  such  pupils.  The  cooperation  of  County 
Superintendents  is  asked. 

5.  Primary  This  is  taught  in  a  large,  airy  room  25  x 
Depart-  30  feet.  Every  effort  has  been  put  forth 
ment*  to  make  the  room  attractive  to  the  child- 
ren. Pictures  have  been  put  upon  the  walls  and  a 
small  library  has  been  collected,  consisting  of  thirty- 
five  volumes  of  historical,  mythological  and  fairy 
stories.  Any  addition  to  this  library  by  friends  of 
the  School  will  be  appreciated. 

The  word  and  phonic  methods  are  used.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  regular  course  of  study  there  are  given 
throughout  the  year  general  exercises  in  physical  cul- 
ture (the  Swedish  System),  Manual  Training  and  Na- 
ture Study.  A  Meteorological  Record  is  kept  daily 
by  the  pupils.  Frequent  walks  are  taken  through 
fields  and  woods  to  study  nature.  In  order  to  arouse 
interest  in  Nature  Study,  there  is  offered  a  prize  to 
the  pupil  who  does  the  best  nature  work  in  the  Prim- 
ary Department.  Some  work  in  Primary  Manual 
Training,  consisting  of  drawing,  sewing,  etc.,  is  given 
the  children  twice  a  week.

deduction  will  be  made  for  absence  except  in  cases  of 
protracted  illness  of  one  week  or  more.  All  pupils 
must  enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a 
term,  unless  previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the 
contrary.  The  entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered 
as  an  acceptance  of  these  terms.

Christian  homes  in  Gary  have  been  open  for  the  boys 
and  girls  of  the  School.  During  the  past  year  boys 
and  girls  have  had  different  boarding  places,  and  the 
same  plans  will  be  arranged  for  next  year.  Our 
charges  are  as  low  as  can  be  arranged  with  present 
prices  for  groceries.  These  charges  cover  all  ex- 
penses except  washing,  but  each  pupil  will  be  re- 
quired to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or  two  quilts,  a 
pair  of  sheets  and  pillow-cases.  Arrangements  can 
be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday  of  each 
week.  The  Principal  will  gladly  arrange  board  when 
notified  by  parents.  Charges  for  board  are  payable

These    dormitories    are    furnished    with    bedstead, 

mattress  with  springs,  chairs,  table,  lamp,  etc.    All 

boys    rooming    in     dormitory    must    furnish    sheets, 

towels,  bedding,  pillow,  and  toilet  articles,  such  as 

comb  and  brush,  soap,  matches,  etc.     They  get  their 

board  at  actual  cost,  which  varies  with  the  price  and 

quality  of  groceries.     The  estimated  cost,  based  on 

the  last  two  years,  is  $7.00  to  $7.25  per  month.    There

is  no  more  desirable  place  connected  with  the  School 
than  this. 

During  the  past  year  pupils  in  these  dormitories 
were  allowed  to  remain  in  their  rooms  for  study.  The 
Principal  found  the  charges  were  not  sufficient  to  cover 
the  increased  expense  for  fuel.  Those  who  remain  in 
their  rooms  during  school  hours  will  be  charged  $1.25 
each  per  school  month.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory  to  the 
school  rooms  for  indolence  or  disorder. 

XVIII.     Miscellaneous. 

1.  The  Principal  has  selected  text-books  by  stand- 
ard authors,  and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use 
books  mentioned  in  the  course  of  study,  except  when 
it  is  to  the  interest  of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in 
charge  to  order  a  change. 

2.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term  of  five  months,  and  pupils  entering  late  must 
join  classes  already  formed. 

3.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Going  to  school  is  as  much 
a  business  as  farming,  merchandising,  etc.,  and  boys 
and  girls  should  be  taught  to  be  prompt  in  meeting 
all  business  engagements. 

4.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation,  they  must  seek  it  in 
other  ways. 

5.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal 
when  a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or 
when  any  complaint  is  made.

XIX.  Summary. 
A  Few  Reasons  for  Patronizing  Cary  High  School. 

1.  No  other  school  "from  the  mountains  to  the  sea" 
is  so  fortunately  located.  Situated  in  a  high,  well- 
drained  town,  supplied  with  abundance  of  good,  cool 
well-water,  it  is  free  from  malaria  and  has  a  general 
health  record  equal  to  any  town  in  the  entire  State. 
It  is  located  at  the  junction  of  S.  A.  L.  and  Southern 
railroads,  eight  miles  west  of  Raleigh;  has  fourteen 
passenger  trains  daily,  six  of  which  are  regular  mail 
trains.  No  town  can  offer  better  facilities  for  travel, 
communication,  etc. 

2.  The  moral  atmosphere  which  pervades  the  town 
of  Cary  is  very  excellent.  It  was  chartered  dry,  and 
is  securely  fortified  against  any  alcoholic  drinks  ever 
being  sold  in  or  near  it.  All  influences,  socially  and 
otherwise,  are  such  as  will  prove  refining  and  profit- 
able to  students  of  the  School. 

3.  It  is  permeated  with  the  spirit  of  Christianity. 
Only  teachers  of  recognized  Christian  character  are 
employed,  and  students  of  every  denomination,  or  of 
no  church  affiliation,  are  received  on  equal  grounds  in 
all  respects  whatever. 

4.  The  course  of  study  is  comprehensive  and  prac- 
tical. 

5.  The  teachers  are  well  prepared  by  learning  and 
experience,  and  are  enthusiastic  and  faithful  in  their 
work. 


28  GARY  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

6.  The  work  done  is  not  for  show,  but  for  thorough 
mental  drill  and  a  broad  and  practical  knowledge  of 
men  and  things. 

7.  The  school  building  is  convenient  in  arrange- 
ment, well  equipped  in  all  departments,  and  neat  in 
appearance. 

8.  The  Clay  Society  for  boys  and  the  Browning  So- 
ciety for  girls  are  a  great  aid  in  fitting  pupils  for  the 
highest  duties  of  life. 

9.  The  course  in  English  is  not  surpassed  by  any 
school  in  the  State.  Our  motto  in  this  department  is 
— "Read  much,  write  much." 

10.  In  addition  to  a  tborough  literary  course,  it  of- 
fers excellent  advantages  in  Music  and  Elocution. 

11.  A  well-selected  library  of  standard  fiction,  poet- 
ry, history,  biography,  etc.,  furnishes  ample  reading 
matter.  No  other  preparatory  school  in  North  Caro- 
lina has  a  better  reading-room.  On  our  files  are  Re- 
view of  Revieivs,  World's  Worlc,  McOlure's,  Youths' 
Companion,  Outlook,  etc. — over  twenty  standard  pe- 
riodicals. 

12.  It  offers  special  terms  to  ministerial  students 
and  to  the  sons  and  daughters  of  ministers  of  all 
orthodox  religious  denominations. 

13.  It  affords  separate  boarding  places  and  sepa- 
rate departments  at  school  for  the  boys  and  girls.  All 
boarding  students  are  responsible  to  the  Principal  for 
their  conduct  out  of  school  as  well  as  while  they  are 
at  the  school  building. 

14.  Our  charges  for  tuition  and  board  are  the  low- 
est to  be  found,  considering  the  advantages  offered.

V.     forewords. 

All   enterprises   of   great   success   and   use- 

1.  A   Lookfuiness  are  0f  slow  growth.     For  ten  years 

'a  few  faithful  men  and  women  have  worked 
and  prayed  and  planned  to  have  a  strong,  useful  edu- 
cational institution  in  Cary.  Their  efforts  have  not 
been  in  vain.  The  liberal  patronage,  the  excellent  rec- 
ord of  former  pupils  in  our  colleges  and  in  active  life, 
and  the  unusually  kind  words  of  patrons,  friends  and 
the  press  all  give  evidence  of  the  success  of  the  enter- 
prise. The  building,  grounds  and  equipment  have  been 
improved  from  year  to  year,  until  we  now  have  a  large 
and  convenient  building  in  one  of  the  most  desirable 
locations  in  the  State. 

As  we  begin  preparations  for  another  year

nity    has    maintained    its    reputation    for 

loyalty  to  the  school.  Its  patronage  was  full  and  regu- 
lar. The  growth  was  in  the  number  of  non-resident 
pupils.  We  wish  to  thank  our  pupils  and  friends  for 
their  aid  in  enlarging  the  non-resident  patronage.  We 
ask  for  continued  support  and  co-operation  and  promise 
our  best  efforts  in  maintaining  our  high  standard  of 
scholarship,  and  that  vigilance  which  is  necessary  in 
guarding  the  moral  and  spiritual  welfare  of  our  pupils.

3.  Not  an  Ex- To  prospective  students  we  wish  to  say  in 
periment     all  candor,  that  if  you  have  not  decided  to 

on'  enter  school  in  good  faith,  under  the  re- 
quirements of  our  catalogue,  we  much  prefer  that  you 
do  not  enter  at  all — at  least  until  you  may  have; 
reached  such  a  decision.  Constant  shifting  in  a  student- 
body  means  endless  confusion  to  teachers  and  'little  or 
no  profit  to  pupils.  All  pupils  are  expected  to  enter 
for  a  full  term  of  five  months,  or  for  the  balance  of  the 
term.  Since  this  Catalogue  is  our  only  means  of  com- 
munication, we  shall  consider  that  all  pupils  matricu- 
lating thereby  agree  to  the  above  terms,  unless  sat- 
isfactory arrangements  have  been  'previously  made. 

However    much    we   may    be    interested    in 

4.  Not  a  Re-  ^g  reformation  of  bad  hoys,  we  could  not 

"  take  the  risk  of  endangering  the  character 
of  many  others  for  the  hope  of  benefiting  one.  Because 
of  the  excellent  moral  atmosphere  of  Cary,  and  its 
numerous  incentives  to  noble  living,  many  boys  have 
been  strengthened  morally  while  under  our  tuition,  but 
we  are  too  busily  engaged  otherwise,  to  devote  our  time 
to  the  subordination  of  pupils  who  have  never  been 
taught  to  respect  just  authority,  or  to  tolerate  for  any 
considerable  time  such  as  persist  in  the  practice  of  evil 
habits.  We  reserve  the  right  to  suspend  any  pupil 
whose  influence  is  known  to  oe  injurious  or  demorali- 
zing to  the  student  body. 

Many  farmers  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 

5.  When  to    graee  fa  have  farm  work  a  few  weeks  be- 

hind that  of  their  neighbors,  think  it  all 
right  to  enter  their  children  from  one  to  eight  weeks 
behind  their  classes.  With  late  planting  they  expect 
poor  crops,  but  ask  for  good  results  in  school  with  late 
entrance.  The  first  is  as  possible  and  probable  as  the 
last.     Going   to   school   is   a  business,   and   no   one   ever

engages  in  any  business  more  important.  If  one  fail 
in  business  he  may  start  again,  but  if  education  is 
neglected,  lost  opportunities  can  never  be  regained.  We 
urge  all  to  be  present  as  early  in  the  session  as  possible, 
and  be  sure  to  plan  for  the  whole  term. 
6  "When  and  ^^  well-regulated  schools  incur  expenses 
How  to  before  the  school  opens,  and  many  inciden- 
Fay,  tal   expenses   are   due  from  the  beginning, 

besides  the  salaries  of  teachers.  Usually  it  causes  no 
inconvenience  for  patrons  to  pay  in  advance.  We  are 
trying  to  run  our  school  on  business  principles,  and  to 
do  this  we  must  have  our  patrons  deal  with  us  in  the 
same  way.  * 

If  payments  cannot  be  made  at  times  named  in  the 
catalogue,  let  indulgence  be  asked  for,  so  there  can  be 
no  misunderstanding. 

Pupils  frequently  discontinue  their  work  in  the  midst 
of  a  term  without  previous  arrangement  and  ask  for  a 
pro  rata  discount  in  tuition.  In  the  future  patrons  or 
pupils  wishing  indulgence  on  tuition  or  expecting  to 
discontinue  before  end  of  term  must  make  such  state- 
ment in  writing  within  ten  days  after  admission.  This 
is  done  to  prevent  misunderstanding.  In  no  case  will 
discounts  be  made  for  such  absence  during  the  last  three 
weeks  of  a  term. 

All  pupils,  on  entering,  are  required  to  fill 
Matncu-  bia^g  on  registration  card,  giving  name, 
age,  parent,  county,  church  relation,  date 
of  registration,  etc.  On  the  reverse  side  they  sign  the 
following:  "In  entering  Cary  High  School,  I  agree  to 
obey  all  rules  necessary  to  good  order  and  efficient  work. 
I  shall  consider  and  respect  the  rights  of  landlords, 
teachers   and   fellow-students."

VI.     Who  We  Are. 

1.  E.  L.  Middleton. — The  Principal  has  been  in  the 
school  work  for  seventeen  years.  His  ten  years'  labor 
in  Cary  bear  testimony  to  his  zeal  and  fitness  for  his 
position.  He  has  a  large  number  of  endorsements  from 
prominent  men  and  former  patrons.  Such  men  cannot 
afford  to  endorse  a  school  which  is  not  of  high  grade. 
Among  these  men  are: 

( 1 )  Dr.  F.  P.  Venable,  President  University  of  North 
Carolina. 

(2)  Dr.  W.  L.  Poteat,  President  Wake  Forest  College. 

(3)  Dr.  John  C.  Kilgo,   President  Trinity  College. 

(4)  Prof.  F.  P.  Hobgood,  President  Oxford  Seminary. 

( 5 )  Rev.  L.  Johnson,  Corresponding  Secretary  Bap- 
tist Mission  Board  of  North  Carolina. 

(G)  Dr.  W.  C.  Tyree,  Pastor  First  Baptist  Church, 
Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(7)  Dr.  E.  A.  Yates,  Professor  Biblical  Literature, 
Trinity  College. 

(8)  M.  W.  Page,  Sheriff  Wake  County.

County. 

(10)  Dr.  John  E.  White,  Atlanta,  Ga.     . 

(11)  Rev.  W.  H.  Rich,  Macon,  Ga. 

The  school  is  well  known  by  many  men  who  have 
not  patronized  it.  By  permission,  the  Principal  refers 
you  to  the  following: 

( 1 )  Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Superintendent  Public  In- 
struction for  North  Carolina,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(2)  Dr.  R.  T.  Vann,  President  Baptist  University  for 
Women,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

(3)  Dr.  E.  W.  Sikes,  Professor  History  Wake  Forest 
College,  Wake  Forest,  N.  C.

(10)  Hon.  E.  W.  Pou.  Member  Congress  from  North 
Carolina,   Smithfield,  N.  C. 

2.  Hoy  Taylor. — Mr.  Taylor  was  chosen  from  a  large 
number  of  applicants,  and  we  feel  we  have  been  exceed- 
ingly fortunate  in  securing  him.  He  has  had  valuable 
experience  in  teaching.  His  record  at  Trinity  has  been 
very  fine.  He  is  heartily  endorsed  by  the  faculty  of 
that  college.  Dr.  John  C.  Kilgo  says:  "He  is  a  young 
man  of  excellent  talents,  blameless  character,  and  in 
every  way  worthy  of  the  confidence  of  good  men.  I 
feel  he  will  be  a  most  valuable  addition  to  your  teach- 
ing force. 

B.  B.  Dougherty,  Principal  Appalachian  Training 
School,  says:  "As  a  scholar,  none  better;  as  a  teacher, 
successful :   as  a  man  he  is  almost  ideal." 

Leading  business  men  of  his  county  say  of  him:  "I 
have  never  known  a  young  man  whose  moral  character 
in  every  respect  is  superior  to  his,  and  I  am  satisfied 
his  literary  qualifications  will  be  eminently  satisfac- 
tory." "I  have  known  him  from  childhood.  His  char- 
acter is  excellent.  You  need  have  no  fears  as  to  his 
morals  and  push." 

3.  Miss  Ella  Mundy. — Miss  Mundy  has  been  with  us 
for  five  months  and  has  shown  herself  to  be  in  every 
way  a  first-class  teacher.     S^e  is  full  of  energy,  requires 


10  GARY  HIGH   SCHOOL. 

thorough  work  by  her  pupils,  and  is  an  excellent  discip- 
linarian. She  has  made  a  specialty  of  Latin,  French 
and  Art,  She  will  do  some  work  in  the  grammar  grades. 
Former  employers  and  teachers  speak  of  her  in  the 
highest  terms. 

Dr.  H.  W.  Tribble,  President  Rawlings  Institute, 
says  of  her:  "It  gives  me  pleasure  to  testify  to  her 
faithful  and  successful  work.  She  has  taken  our  liter- 
ary degree  and  art  diploma.  I  feel  she  will  be  as 
faithful  as  a  teacher  as  she  has  been  as  a  pupil.  Dr. 
C.  A.  Long,  Professor  of  Latin,  says:  "Miss  Mundy  was 
under  me  in  Latin  and  led  a  class  of  sixteen  pupils. 
Her  work  in  French  was  of  a  very  high  order.  She  is 
a  full  graduate  of  the  art  department,  which  requires 
four  years  of  hard  work  for  graduation." 

4.  Miss  Stella  Pasmore. — The  standards  of  this 
department  haA'e  always  been  very  high.  These  have 
been  maintained  with  Miss  Pasmore  in  charge.  She 
has  taught  with  great  success  in  private  and  public 
schools  in  Wake,  Johnston  and  Robeson  counties.  She 
has  made  primary  work  her  special  study  for  nine  years. 
With  this  broad  experience,  her  tact  and  patience,  she 
has  done  much  for  the  School.  She  is  eminently  com- 
petent to  teach  any  advanced  classes  assigned  to  her. 
Her  methods  are  modern,  practical  and  interesting.  Her 
pupils  become  intensely  interested  in  their  work. 

5.  Miss  Sara  Parham. — She  comes  to  us  for  the  first 
time,  but  has  made  an  enviable  reputation  as  a  woman 
and  teacher.  She  will  in  every  way  uphold  the  high 
standard   in   her   departments. 

Prof.  F.  P.  Hobgood  says:  "I  can  unqualifiedly  recom- 
mend Miss  Parham  as  an  accomplished  musician  and 
successful  teacher.  She  will  do  her  work  satisfactory 
to  you  and  your  patrons."     John  J.  Wootten,  New  York 


CART  HIGH   SCHOOL.  11 

Conservatory  of  Music,  says:  "In  Harmony  she  ranked 
with  the  first  of  her  class.  Her  piano  playing  is  bril- 
liant." A.  F.  Sams,  Esq.,  of  Board  of  Trustees  employ- 
ing her  last  year,  says:  "She  is  a  most  attractive  young 
woman  and  a  positive  force  in  any  community.  Were 
I  in  your  place  I  would  at  once  employ  her."  Editor 
Archibald  Johnson,  of  same  Board  of  Trustees,  says: 
"She  is  a  born  teacher  and  can  control  your  whole 
school.  Her  powers  of  command  are  truly  wonderful. 
I  advise  you  to  secure  her  by  all  means." 

In  our  possession  there  are  many  other  endorsements 
equally  strong.

a  worthy  institution.  Those  who  honor  a  contract  with

protection. 

VIII.     What  Wc  Do. 

1.  For  the  ^ie  School  is  not  under  the  control  of  any 
Heart,  religious  denomination,  but  is  thoroughly 
permeated  with  the  spirit  of  Christianity.  Only  teach- 
ers of  recognized  Christian  character  are  employed,  and 
students  of  every  denomination,  or  of  no  church  affilia- 
tions, are  received  on  equal  grounds  in  all  respects.  It 
is  our  policy  to  divide  the  teachers  as  equally  as  pos- 
sible among  the  denominations  represented  by  the  pat- 
rons of  the  school.  In  no  case  will  any  influence  be 
allowed  which  might  draw  a  pupil  away  from  his  church 
moorings.  As  far  as  possible,  the  wholesome  influence 
of  a  Christian  home  is  thrown  around  our  students. 
While  character  is  being  formed,  and  impressions  for 
life  are  being  made,  the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to 
him  a  most  wonderful  field  of  usefulness. 

The  School  is  opened  every  morning  with  devotional 
exercises.  Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church, 
and   a   mission  of   the   Episcopal   church,   with   regular 


GARY  HIGH   SCHOOL.  13 

services  at  each.     Pupils  are  expected  to  attend  the  ser- 
vices of  these  churches  and  Sunday  School  regularly. 

It    is   our   plan   to   cultivate   our    students 

'     °r      e      physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  morally. 
Otherwise    the    best    results    in    the    class- 
room and  in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.     To  this  end, 
we  have  football  and  baseball  grounds,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exercise. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 
3.  For  the  view — to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of 
what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  edu- 
cate a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him,  draw  out 
his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  heterogenous 
mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to  do  as 
much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials  in 
education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and  those 
which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for  -ae  active 
duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments  we 
take  all.  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college.  Fre- 
quent and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling,  reading 
and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are  trained 
in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent  exercises 
in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  acquired  a  thor- 
ough knowledge  of  the  technical  principles  of  grammar 
the  critical   study  of  English  Classics  is  emphasized. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  give  as  broad 
culture  as  possible  and  yet  magnify  the  practical  parts. 
The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason  from  cause  to 
effect,  and,  as  far   as  possible,  make  practical   applica- 


14  CARY  HIGH   SCHOOL. 

tion  of  every  lesson  imparted.  Our  methods  of  instruc- 
tion are  varied  with  a  view  to  arousing  and  holding  a 
live  interest- in  the  work. 

IX      Where  We  Are  and  What  We  have. 

„  T  .  Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desira- 
1.   Location.     .  .  . 

bility  of  the  location.     It  is  both  healthful 

and   beautiful.     The  moral   atmosphere  of   the  town  of 

Cary  could  not  be  excelled  in  the  State.     The  society  in 

the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the  youth 

that    will    attend    the    institution.     Xo    better    railroad 

facilities   could  be  furnished   in  the   State — just  at  the 

junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  Railways,  eight 

miles   west   of   Raleigh.     The   town   was   chartered   dry, 

and    is    fortified    against    the    possibility    of    alcoholic 

drinks  ever  being  sold  in  or  near  it. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions

and   has   excellent  water,     lew  towns   can 

show  a  better  health  record.  During  last  year  there 
was  not  a  single  case  of  illness  in  the  student  body 
caused  by  any  local  conditions. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  four  large  and  well-lighted  class-rooms — which  may 
be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — dining-hall, 
reading-room,  library,  and  four  music-rooms.  On  the 
second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron  and  dormitories 
for  thirty  boys. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
,  able  furniture  and  equipment.     The  class- 

rooms have  folding  desks,  charts  and  maps. 
The  Society  hall  has  chairs,  tables  and  tracking.  The 
music-rooms  are  furnished  with  four  pianos,  and  the 
dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  comfortable  furniture.

X.     General  Culture. 

1.  Literary  The  Clay  and  Calhoun  Societies  for  young 
Societies,  men  and  the  Browning  Society  for  girls 
meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate,  composition 
and  elocution.  All  members  are  required  to  take  part 
in  the  exercises.  Most  excellent  results  have  been  ob- 
tained during  the  past  year.  The  good  to  be  derived 
from  this  work  cannot  be  overestimated.  It  gives  a 
knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates  a  fond- 
ness for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  expressing  in 
public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by  many 
people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and 
as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior.  We  want  original 
thought,  and  there  is  no  field  broader  and  more  capable 
of  yielding  rich  harvest.  All  boarding  pupils  over  fif- 
teen years  old  will  be  required  to  be  members  of  these 
societies,  or  to  do  the  equivalent  work  under  the  super- 
vision of  a  teacher  on  Friday  afternoons. 

A  library  of  400  volumes  has  been  col- 
lected, to  which  additions  are  constantly 
being  made.  Every  volume  is  carefully  examined,  and 
nothing  except  literature  of  high  order  is  allowed  on 
our  shelves.  We  have  many  volumes  of  biography,  his- 
tory, addresses,  together  with  the  prose  and  poetical 
works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow, 
Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and  others.       •

number  of  State  and  National  periodicals  and  two  excel- 
lent educational  monthlies.  All  pupils  have  access  to 
the "  reading-room  every  day,  and  during  the  past  year 
it  was  largely  used. 


16  VARY  HIGH   SCHOOL. 

XI.     What  Our  Pupils  Do. 

In  the  South,  no  secondary  school  can  confine  itself 
to  one  specific  line  of  work.  We  have  two  general  ends 
in  view — one  to  prepare  boys  and  girls  for  college,  the 
other  to  fit  the  great  mass  of  our  students  for  the  ac- 
tive duties  of  life.  In  the  latter  class  we  can  point 
with  pride  to  young  men  and  women  who  are  becoming 
strong  factors  in  the  social,  industrial  and  church  life 
of  their  several  communities.  In  the  former  class  our 
pupils  are  doing  us  honor  while  honoring  themselves. 

Very  few  secondary  schools  send  a  larger  per  cent,  of 
their  senior  classes  to  college. 

»  During  last  year  we  had  a  large  number  of  former 
pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  Wake  Forest  College, 
A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Baptist  University  for 
Women,  N.  C.  Normal  and  Industrial  College.  This 
does  not  include  several  of  our  students  who  went  di- 
rectly from  our  school  to  professional  schools.  Several 
of  our  students  at  these  colleges  have  graduated  magna 
cum  laude. 

XII.     Record  of  Work.. 

1.  Examina-  Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how  often 
tions.  or  how  difficult  examinations  should  be. 
We  require  written  examinations  of  all  pupils  on  all 
studies  during  each  quarter,  but  these  examinations  are 
short  and  at  such  times  as  will  give  the  pupils  an  oppor- 
tunity of  telling  what  they  know,  and  not  what  has 
been  "crammed"  in  their  heads  for  a  special  occasion. 
A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  recitations,  and  an  average 
mark  is  secured  from  these  two  sources. 

We    send   reports   at  the   end   of   each  ten 
weeks.     We  keep  all  parents  informed  re- 
garding the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance  of 
their   children.

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.  Low  marks  on  schol- 
arship are  not  necessarily  a  sign  of  poor  work.  A  poor 
mark  on  deportment  needs  immediate  attention. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 

3.  Honors. 

is   posted.     To   be   entitled   to   a   place   on 

this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholar- 
ship, 95  on  attendance,  and  excellent  deportment.  To 
be  on  the  annual  Honor  Roll,  a  pupil  must  have  been 
on  all  the  quarterly  Rolls  of  Honor. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  will  be  awarded  to  the  pupil 
in  the  High  School  making  the  highest  scholarship  dur- 
ing next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must  be 
present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year, — and  must 
carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 

Prizes  will  be  given  on  same  conditions  for  highest 
mark  in  Grammar  Grades  and  Primary  Department. 

Medals  will  also  be  awarded  for  excellence  in  debate, 
essay  writing,  declamation  and  recitation. 

4.  Gradua-     In  the   course  of   study   there   are   six   de- 
tion.  partments — Latin,     English,     Mathematics, 

History,  French,  and  Elementary  Science. 

The  first  three  of  these  are  considered  Majors  and 
the  last  three  Minors.  To  receive  a  certificate  of  profi- 
ciency a  pupil  must  have  completed  the  work  in  three 
Majors  or  two  Majors  and  two  Minors.  Pupils  must 
average  eighty-five  per  cent,  on  each  year's  work  in  each 
course.  Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be 
made  up  during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and 
deficits  during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly.

tious  course  in  music  will  certainly  carry  with  its  man- 
ual training,  mental  and  heart  training  also.  Many 
now  study  music  who  never  expect  to  teach  or  become 
performers,  because  of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy 
good  music  that  comes  from  such  a  course  of  study,  and 
because  they  realize  that  all  cultivation  of  the  fine  arts 
is  an  upward  and  forward  step. 

Our  purpose  is  to  train  pupils  on  technic  and  such  a 
course  of  study  as  tends  to  give  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

Elocution  is  no  longer   considered  a  mere 
2.  Elocution.  ..  ,     ,  ^n  to  ,    ,, 

pastime    study.      Ihe   eyes   of   the    people, 

even   in   our   conservative   South,    have   been   opened   to 

see  not  only  the  beauty  and  grandeur,  but  the  practical 

importance  of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inelegant 
speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from  the  field 
to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both  brain 
and  body. 

To  give  due  expression  to  our  thoughts  and  feelings, 
we  must  learn  to  apply  the  principles  of  Pitch,  Force, 
Time,  Stress,  Emphasis,  Modulation  and  Cadence  to  the 
various  qualities  of  tone,  selected  with  proper  reference 
to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed.  Expression  also  teaches 
Self  Control,  Ease,  Polish,  Address,  Fluency,  etc. 

A  knowledge  of  Art  is  not  purely  a  matter 
of  ornamental  education.  In  most  branches 
of  trade,  and  in  many  branches  of  manufacture,  an  ar- 
tistic taste  is  a  matter  of  practical  importance  -in  the 
gaining  of  one's  livelihood.  There  are  few  kinds  of 
handiwork  in  which  the  element  of  design  does  not 
enter,  and  wherever  the  arts  of  design  are  in  question, 
taste  has  to  be  exercised.  There  is  a  general  tendency 
to   introduce   the   practice   of   drawing   into   elementary 


GARY  HIGH   iiGHOOL.  19 

school   instruction,   resulting   from   a  public  recognition 
of  these  practical  uses  of  Art  instruction. 

We  have  provided  instruction  for  courses  in  Draw- 
ing, Crayon  and  Pastel  Work,  Water  Color  and  Oil 
Painting. 

The   policy   of   the   School   is    to   make   no 

4.  Book-  r        J 

keeping-,    promises  that  are  not  kept.     We  have  no 

separate  departments  for  this  study.  Too 
many  boys  and  girls  are  being  misled  by  inducing  them 
to  take  a  business  course  before  their  mental  develop- 
ment or  experience  in  life  warrants  it.  This  study  is 
pursued  as  a  part  of  our  work  in  Arithmetic,  and  is  in- 
tended to  prepare  pupils  for  a  more  advanced  study  of 
the  subject,  or  fit  them  for  managing  their  own  business 
as  farmers,  merchants,  artisans,  etc.  The  Avork  is  ele- 
mentary, and  we  make  no  extra  charge  for  it. 

5.  Primary     This  is  taught  in  a  large,  airy  room  25  by 
Depart-     30   feet      Every  effort  has  been  put  forth 

to  make  the  room  attractive  to  the  child- 
ren. Pictures  have  been  put  upon  the  walls  and  a  small 
library  has  been  collected,  consisting  of  thirty-five  vol- 
umes of  historical,  mythological  and  .fairy  stories.  Any 
addition  to  this  library  by  friends  of  the  School  will  be 
appreciated. 

The  word  and  phonic  methods  are  used.  In  addition 
to  the  regular  course  of  study  there  are  given  through- 
out the  year  general  exercises  in  physical  culture  (the 
Swedish  System),  Manual  Training  and  Nature  Study. 
A  Meteorological  Record  is  kept  daily  by  the  pupils. 
Frequent  walks  are  taken  through  fields  and  woods  to 
study  nature.  In  order  to  arouse  interest  in  Nature 
Study,  there  is  offered  a  prize  to  the  pupil  who  does 
the  best  nature  work  in  the  Primary  Department.  Some 
work  in  Primary  Manual  Training,  consisting  of  draw- 
ing, sewing,  etc.,  is  given  the  children  twice  a  week.

Any  special  arrangements  desired  must  be  made  on

XVII.     Board. 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrange- 
"  Families.  ments  have  been  made  for  all  pupils  desir- 
ing board.  Many  of  the  best  Christian 
homes  in  Cary  have  been  open  for  the  boys  and  girls  of 
the  School.  During  the  past  year  boys  and  girls  have 
had  different  boarding  places,  and  the  same  plans  will 
be  arranged  for  next  year.  Our  charges  are  as  low  as 
can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for  groceries.  These 
charges  cover  all  expenses  except  washing,  but  each 
pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or 
two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow-cases.  Arrange- 
ments can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday  of 
each  week.  The  Principal  will  gladly  arrange  board 
when  notified  by  parents.  Charges  for  board  are  pay- 
able at  end  of  each  school  month  of  four  weeks. 

Board  in  private  families $8 .  50  to  $9 .  00 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday $6 .  00 

Mrs.  C.  A.  Wood,  as  Matron,  will  preside 
torv  over  the  students'  home  in  the  school  build- 

ing. 
These  dormitories  are  furnished  with  bedstead,  mat- 
tress with  springs,  chairs,  table,  lamp,  etc.  All  boys 
rooming  in  dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bed- 
ding, pillow,  and  toilet  articles,  such  as  comb  and 
brush,  soap,  matches,  etc.  They  get  their  board  at  ac- 
tual cost,  which  varies  with  the  price  and  quality  of 
groceries.  The  estimated  cost,  based  on  the  last  two 
years,  is  $7.00  to  $7.25  per  month.  There  is  no  more 
desirable  place  connected  with  the  School  than  this. 


26  GARY  HIGH   SCHOOL. 

During  the  pastyear  pupils  in  these  dormitories  were 
allowed  to  remain  in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Prin- 
cipal reserves  the  right  to  remove  any  boy  froA  the  dor- 
mitory to  the  school  rooms  for  indolence  or  disorder-. 

XVIII.     Miscellaneous. 

1.  The  Principal  has  selected  text-books  by  standard 
authors,  and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use  books 
mentioned  in  the  course  of  study,  except  when  it  is  to 
the  interest  of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in  charge  to 
order  a  change. 

2.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term  of  five  months,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join 
classes   already   formed. 

3.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

4.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation,  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 

5.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when  any 
complaint  is  made. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal  or  Prof.  Taylor.  Per- 
mission will  not  be  given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave 
Cary,  except  for  their  homes,  unless  by  written  request 
from  their  parents  to  the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys 
wish  special  restrictions  for  their  sons  they  should  no- 
tify the  Principal.

7.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the  Prin- 
cipal for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as  while 
at  the  school  building.

XIX.     Summary. 

A  pew  Reasons  for  Patronizing  Cary  High  School 

1.  Xo  other  school  "from  the  mountains  to  the  sea" 
is  so  fortunately  located.  Situated  in  a  high,  well- 
drained  town,  supplied  with  abundance  of  good,  cool 
well-water,  it  is  free  from  malaria  and  has  a  general 
health  record  equal  to  any  town  in  the  entire  State. 
It  is  located  at  the  junction  of  S.  A.  L.  and  Southern 
railroads,  eight  miles  west  of  Raleigh;  has  fourteen 
passenger  trains  daily,  six  of  which  are  regular  mail 
trains.  No  town  can  offer  better  facilities  for  travel, 
communication,  etc. 

2.  The  moral  atmosphere  which  pervades  the  town  of 
Cary  is  very  excellent.  It  was  chartered  dry,  and  is  se- 
curely fortified  against  any  alcoholic  drinks  ever  being 
sold  in  or  near  it.  All  influences,  socially  and  other- 
wise, are  such  as  will  prove  refining  and  profitable  to 
students  of  the  School. 

3.  It  is  permeated  with  the  spirit  of  Christianity. 
Only  teachers  of  recognized  Christian  character  are  em- 
ployed, and  students  of  every  denomination,  or  of  no 
church  affiliation,  are  received  on  equal  grounds  in  all 
respects  whatever. 

4.  The  course  of  study  is  comprehensive  and  prac- 
tical. 

5.  The  teachers  are  well  prepared  by  learning  and  ex- 
perience, and  are  enthusiastic  and  faithful  in  their 
work.

6.  The  work  done  is  not  for  show,  but  for  thorough 
mental  drill  and  a  broad  and  practical  knowledge  of 
men  and  things. 

7.  The  school  building  is  convenient  in  arrangement, 
well  equipped  in  all  departments,  and  neat  in  appear- 
ance. 

8.  The  Clay  and  Calhoun  Societies  for  boys  and  the 
Browning  Society  for  girls  are  a  great  aid  in  fitting 
pupils  for  the  highest  duties  of  life. 

9.  The  course  in  English  is  as  good  as  the  best  in  the 
State.  Our  motto  in  this  department  is — "Read  much, 
write  much." 

10.  In  addition  to  a  thorough  literary  course,  it  offers 
excellent  advantages  in  Music  and  Elocution. 

11.  A  well-selected  library  of  standard  fiction,  poetry, 
history,  biography,  etc.,  furnishes  ample  reading  mat- 
ter. No  other  preparatory  school  in  North  Carolina 
has  a  better  reading-room.  On  our  files  are  Review  of 
Revieios,  World's  Work,  McClure's,  Youths'  Companion, 
Literary  Digest,  etc. — over  twenty  standard  periodicals. 

12.  It  offers  special  terms  to  ministerial  students 
and  to  the  sons"  and  daughters  of  ministers  of  all  ortho- 
dox religious  denominations. 

13.  It  affords  separate  boarding  places  and  separate 
departments  at  school  for  the  boys  and  girls.  All  board- 
ing students  are  responsible  to  the  Principal  for  their 
conduct  out  of  school  as  well  as  while  they  are  at  the 
school  building. 

14.  Our  charges  for  tuition  and  board  are  the  lowest 
to  be  found,  considering  the  advantages  offered.

All  enterprises  of  great  success  and  useful- 
Backward. 


*    *  ■     'C"J*  ness  are  of  slow  growth.     For  eleven  years 


a  few  faithful  men  and  women  have  worked 
and  prayed  and  planned  to  have  a  strong,  useful  edu- 
cational institution  in  Cary.  They  have  given  of  their 
time  and  money  for  the  success  of  the  school.  The  build- 
ings have  been  enlarged  from  year  to  year.  The  patron- 
age has  grown  in  numbers  and  territory.  Following 
these  labors  will  be  a  school  under  new  management. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1907  enacted  a 
2,  A  Look  jaw  providing  for  a  system  of  public  high 

schools  for  North  Carolina.  This  policy  is 
new  in  our  State  but  not  an  experiment.  Nearly  all 
States  that  are  advancing  in  education  have  adopted 
this  plan  for  their  secondary  schools.  It  remains  to  be 
seen  if  our  people  will  co-operate  in  this  plan  and  make 
the  law  effective.  Anyone  can  secure  a  copy  of  the  law 
and  rules  of  the  State  Department  of  Education  under 
the  law  by  applying  to  Hon.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

The  rules  of  Superintendent  Joyner  admits 
'   w"° can  those    who    have    completed    the    course    of 

study  for  public  schools  issued  from  his 
office.  The  first  six  grades  in  this  catalogue  cover  this 
course.  Applicants  must  stand  examination  on  entering 
or  bring  certificate  from  last  teacher  saying  the  course

has   been    satisfactorily    completed,   and  this    must    be 
signed  by  the  County  Superintendent. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and  stu- 
dents over  twenty-one  years  of  age,  who  pledge  to  teach, 
will  be  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one  years 
of  age  must  pay  tuition.  The  law  allows  four  schools 
to  a  county.  At  this  writing  only  one  has  been  estab- 
lished in  Wake  County.  As  soon  as  others  are  estab- 
lished the  territory  and  grades  of  these  schools  will  be 
established  by  the  County  Board  of  Education. 

^   .  .j      The   County   Board   of    Education   has    al- 
4.    Outside  J  .  .. 

Patron-  lowed  the  school  committee  to  receive  pupils 

agre.  from   territory   outside    of   Wake    County. 

This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.     These  pupils 

will  receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the  school 

under   private    management.     There  will    be  room    for 

these    in   boarding    houses   and     school   rooms,     and   no 

undue   crowding  will  be  allowed.     We  earnestly  solicit 

the  co-operation   of    our   old    pupils    outside    of    Wake 

County. 

Many  farmers  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 
5.  When  to  grace  to  have  farm  work  a  few  weeks  be- 
Bnter.  hi^  ^^  of  their  -neighbors,  think  it  all 
right  to  enter  their  children  from  one  to  eight  weeks 
behind  their  classes.  With  late  planting  they  expect 
poor  crops,  but  ask  for  good  results  in  school  with  late 
entrance.  The  first  is  as  possible  and  probable  as  the 
last.  Going  to  school  is  a  business,  and  no  one  ever 
engages  in  any  business  more  important.  If  one  fail  in 
business  he  may  start  again,  but  if  education  is  neg- 
lected, lost  opportunities  can  never  be  regained.  We 
urge  all  to  be  present  as  early  in  the  session  as  possible, 
and  be  sure  to  plan  for  the  whole  term.

VI.     The  Faculty. 

The  School  Committee  has  exercised  the  greatest 
painstaking  in  electing  teachers  for  next  year.  Full 
investigation  was  made  regarding  the  ability,  fitness 
and  attainments  of  each  one. 

From  a  very  large  number  of  applicants  the  teachers 
named  on  another  page  were  chosen.  It  is  believed  their 
work  will  prove  the  wisdom  of  their  election. 

VII.     Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want. 

Under  the  new  management  we  wish  to  have  a  most 
cordial  relationship  existing  between  parents  and  pupils 
and  teachers.  There  must  be  between  parents  and 
teachers,  harmony,  sympathy,  co-operation  and  mutual 
good  will,  if  good  results.  Let  the  parents  openly  come 
to  us  and  name  their  ideals,  and  if  right  and  possible 
we  will  reach  them.     Here  are  some  of  our  ideals: 

Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us  in 
our  work.     Those  who  have  the  courage  to 
see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatisfaction, 
rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  institution. 

Who  realize  that  mental  force  is   superior 

to   physical   force.      Boys   of    good     habits 

who  want  an  education  and  are  willing  to  work  for  it. 

Boys  who   see  the   great   possibilities   lying  before  men 

of  the  rising  generation. 

Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 
hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in 
woman's  sphere  and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  them- 
selves for  the  noble  callings  now  open  to  women.  Girls 
who  prefer  well-stored  brains  and  countenances  beaming 
with  intelligence  to  servile  obedience  to  the  whims  of 
fashion.

VIM.     What  Wc  Do. 

The  school  is  thoroughly  permeated  with 
1.   For  the     the  spirit  of  Christianity.    Only  teachers  of 

recognized  Christian  character  have  been 
employed.  In  no  case  will  any  influence  be  allowed 
which  might  draw  a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moor- 
ings. As  far  as  possible,  the  wholesome  influence  of  a 
Christian  home  is  thrown  around  our  students.  While 
character  is  being  formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are 
being  made,  the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a 
most  wonderful   field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer-meeting.  It 
is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 
been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regular 
church  prayer-meetings  at  the  churches.  The  school  is 
opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exercises. 

Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  and  a 
mission  of  the  Episcopal  church,  with  regular  services 
at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  attend  the  services  of 
these  churches  and  Sunday  school  regularly. 

It  is   our   plan  to  cultivate    our    students 
r  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  morally. 

Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  class- 
room and  in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end, 
we  have  foot-ball  and  base-ball  grounds,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  out-door  exercise.  A  few 
match  games  are  allowed,  but  our  team  has  never  been 
allowed  to  be  away  except  to  return  the  same  day.  An 
excellent  tennis  court  is  available  to  teachers  and  pupils. 
Basket-ball  will  be  encouraged  next  year. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 
8.   For  the      vjew — to  tea«h   pupils   to   be   observant   of 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical   in  what  they   say.     For   a  teacher  to  edu- 


CART  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

cate  a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him,  draw  out 
his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  heterogenous 
mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to  do  as 
much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials  in 
education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and  those 
which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for  the  active 
duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments  we 
take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college.  Fre- 
quent and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling,  reading 
and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are  trained 
in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent  exercises 
in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  acquired  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  principles  of  gram- 
mar the  critical  study  of  English  Classics  is  emphasized. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  give  as  broad 
culture  as  possible  and  yet  magnify  the  practical  parts. 
The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason  from  cause  to 
effect,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  make  practical  applica- 
tion of  every  lesson  imparted.  Our  methods  of  instruc- 
tion are  varied  with  a  view  to  arousing  and  holding  a 
live  interest  in  the  work. 

IX.     Where  We  Are  and  What  We  Have. 

Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desira- 
1.  Location,  Mlity  of  the  location      It  ia  both  healthful 

and  beautiful.  The  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town  of 
Cary  could  not  be  excelled  in  the  State.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the  youth 
that  will  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad 
facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the 
junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  Railways,  eight 
miles  west  of   Raleigh.      The   town   was   chartered   dry, 


10  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

and  is  fortified  against  the  possibility  of  alcoholic  drinks 

ever  being  sold  in  or  near  it. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions 
2.    Health.  /,  „  ™         . 

and  has   excellent  water,     lew  towns   can 

show  a  better  health  record.  During  last  year  there 
was  not  a  single  case  of  illness  in  the  student  body 
caused  by  any  local  conditions.  The  young  man  who 
died  during  the  year  contracted  pneumonia  during  one 
of  the  sudden  changes  of  weather. 

Many  pupils  are  exceedingly  careless  in  the  preserva- 
tion of  health  in  unnecessary  exposure  without  wraps, 
over-shoes  and  hats.  A  very  large  per  cent  of  all  sick- 
ness here  is  traceable  to  such  thoughtlessness.  Parents 
are  urged  to  co-operate  with  teachers  in  this  matter. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
'  and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  four  large  and  well-lighted  class-rooms — which  may 
be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — dining-hall, 
reading-room,  library,  and  four  music-rooms.  On  the 
second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron  and  dormitories 
for  thirty  boys.  To  this  old  building  will  be  added  dur- 
ing vacation  a  splendid  building  with  two  more  school- 
rooms and  two  literary  society  halls.  The  present  build- 
ing will  be  improved  by  painting  and  white-washing. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
quip-    ajjje  furniture  and  equipment.     The  class- 
ment.  .  ^     r 

rooms  have  folding  desks,  charts  and  maps. 

Sufficient  new  furniture  will  be  added  to  meet  the  needs 
of  an  enlarged  patronage.  The  music-rooms  are  fur- 
nished with  four  pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms  with 
neat  and  comfortable  furniture.  The  literary  societies 
will,  at  an  early  day,  equip  their  halls  with  all  needed 
furniture — chairs,  pictures,  tables,  carpets,  statuary, 
etc.

X.    General  Culture. 

The  Clay  and  Calhoun  Societies  for  young 
1.  Literary  men  an(j  ^e  Browning  Society  for  girls 
'  meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 
composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  Most  excellent  results 
have  been  obtained  during  the  past  year.  The  good  to 
be  derived  from  this  work  can  not  be  overestimated.  It 
gives  a  knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates 
a  fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  expressing 
in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by  many 
people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and 
as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior.  We  want  original 
thought,  and  there  is  no  field  broader  and  more  capable 
of  yielding  rich  harvest. 

Besides  the  above  societies  there  is  the  Juvenile 
Society  for  boys  and  girls  of  the  grammar  grades.  The 
pupils  of  the  primary  grades  are  required  to  do  the 
same  work.  Every  pupil  in  school  will  be  required  to 
do  this  work  in  declamation,  recitation,  essay  writing 
and  debate  in  one  of  the  school  organizations  or  on 
English  classics  once  in  two  weeks. 

A  library  of  over  500  volumes  has  been  col- 
lected, to  which  additions  are  constantly 
being  made.  Every  volume  is  carefully  examined,  and 
nothing  except  literature  of  high  order  is  allowed  on 
our  shelves.  We  have  many  volumes  of  biography,  his- 
tory, addresses,  together  with  the  prose  and  poetical 
works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow, 
Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and  others. 

During  the  past  year  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Akins,  of  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.,  gave  the  school  nearly  100  volumes.  Some  of 
these  are  rare  and  costly.  The  school  greatly  appre- 
ciates this  gift.  During  next  year  we  wish  to  add  at 
least  100  volumes. 


12  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Under  new  conditions  it  will  not  be  expedient  or  pos- 
sible to  conduct  a  reading-room,  as  in  the  past,  but 
pupils  will  be  encouraged  to  form  reading  circles  and  if 
possible  a  class  in  Current  History  will  be  formed. 

XI.    What  Our  Pupils  Do. 

In  the  South,  no  secondary  school  can  confine  itself 
to  one  specific  line  of  work.  We  have  two  general  ends 
in  view — one  to  prepare  boys  and  girls  for  college,  the 
other  to  fit  the  great  mass  of  our  students  for  the  active 
duties  of  life.  In  the  latter  class  we  can  point  with 
pride  to  young  men  and  women  who  are  becoming  strong 
factors  in  the  social,  industrial  and  church  life  of  their 
several  communities.  In  the  former  class  our  pupils 
are  doing  us  honor  while  honoring  themselves. 

Very  few  secondary  schools  send  a  larger  per  cent  of 
their  senior  classes  to  college. 

During  last  year  we  had  a  large  number  of  former 
pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  Wake  Forest  College, 
A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Baptist  University  for 
Women,  N.  C.  Normal  and  Industrial  College  and  Ox- 
ford Seminary.  This  does  not  include  several  of  our 
students  who  went  directly  from  our  school  to  profes- 
sional schools. 

Many  of  our  pupils  find  themselves  in  the  front  in 
their  classes.  They  make  high  marks  and  are  frequent 
winners  of  medals  and  college  honors. 

XII.     Record  of  Work.. 

Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how  often 
1.  Examin-  or  ^ow  aifgcuit  examinations  should  be. 
at  ions.  .  . 

We  require  one  or  more  written  examina- 
tions of  all  pupils  on  all  studies  during  each  quarter, 
but  these  examinations  are  short  and  at  such  times  as 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

will  give  the  pupils  an  opportunity  of  telling  what  they 
know,  and  not  what  has  been  "crammed"  in  their  heads 
for  a  special  occasion.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  reci- 
tations, and  an  average  mark  is  secured  from  these  two 
sources. 

These  examinations  must  be  stood  or  the  pupil  take 
zero  in  making  our  averages.  It  is  manifestly  unfair  to 
require  a  part  and  not  all  pupils  to  pass  examinations. 
There  are  too  low  ideals  regarding  examinations. 
Pupils  are  not  allowed  to  give  or  receive  aid  from  any 
source.  To  appropriate  the  ideas  of  others  unlawfully 
is  as  sinful  as  to  steal  material  things,  and  to  give  these 
makes  the  giver  a  party  to  the  sin. 

Zero  is  given  on  such  examinations,  with  enough  de- 
merits to  make  deportment  "bad."  Pupils  guilty  of  this 
can  not  receive  a  school  certificate  until  the  work  has 
been  passed  during  a  subsequent  year. 

We   send  reports  at  the  end  of   each  nine 
weeks.     We  keep  all  parents  informed  re- 
garding the  scholarship,   deportment   and  attendance  of 
their  children. 

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.    Low  marks  on  scholar- 
ship are  not  necessarily  a  sign  of  poor  work.     A  poor 
mark  on  deportment  needs  immediate  attention. 
3.   Promo-     Our   standards   will  be  kept  high.     Pupils 
tlon*  to  pass  from  one  year  or  grade  to  the  next 

must  average  eighty  per  cent  on  their  respective  studies, 
and  all  examinations  must  be  passed.  Pupils  stopping 
before  end  of  term  and  failing  to  stand  examinations 
have  no  right  to  expect  promotion  until  the  omitted 
pages  have  been  learned  and  examinations  stood.  All 
reputable   institutions   of  learning  require  this. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 
'is   posted.      To   be   entitled   to   a   place   on 
this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholar- 
ship,   95   on    attendance^    and    excellent   on    deportment. 


14  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

To  be  entitled  to  honorable  mention  a  pupil  must 
make  the  above  marks  on  scholarship  and  deportment. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  will  be  given  by  the  Principal 
to  the  pupil  in  the  High  School  making  the  highest 
scholarship  during  next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a 
pupil  must  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the 
year — and  must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 

The  literary  societies  will  give  medals  for  excellence 
in  debate,   declamation  and  recitation. 

Other  prizes  may  be  announced  after  the  session  is 
opened. 

In  the   course  of   study   there  are   six  de- 

.      ra  ua-     partments — Latin,    English,     Mathematics, 

History,   French,   and   Elementary   Science. 

The  first  four  of  these  are  considered  Majors  and  the 
last  two  Minors.  To  receive  a  certificate  of  proficiency 
a  pupil  must  have  completed  the  work  in  three  Majors 
or  two  Majors  and  two  Minors.  Work  through  the 
Junior  Year  of  Latin  or  Mathematics  may  be  counted  as 
a  Minor.  Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be 
made  up  during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and 
deficits  during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly. 

XIII.     Special  Departments. 

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  necessity 
to  a  civilized  people.  It  is  the  most  exten- 
sively cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreciated  of 
all  the  fine  arts.  A  thorough  and  conscientious  course 
in  music  will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training 
mental  and  heart  training  also.  Many  now  study  music 
who  never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that  comes 
from  such  a  course  of  study,  and  because  they  realize 
that  all  cultivation  of  the  fine  arts  is  an  upward  and 
forward  step. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  15 

Our  purpose  is  to  train  pupils  on  technic  and  such  a 
course  of  study  as  tends  to  give  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

Miss  Rodvvell  has  made  an  extensive  study  of  vocal 
music.  We  hope  many  will  avail  themselves  of  training 
in  this  department.  Arrangements  will  be  made  to  teach 
quartets  and  chorus  classes  at  nominal  cost. 
2.  Elocu-  Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere 
tion.  pastime   study.     The    eyes    of  the    people, 

even  in  our  conservative  South,  have  been  opened  to  see 
not  only  the  beauty  and  grandeur,  but  the  practical  im- 
portance of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inelegant 
speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from  the  field 
to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both  brain  and 
body. 

To  give  due  expression  to  our  thoughts  and  feelings, 
we  must  learn  to  apply  the  principles  of  Pitch,  Force, 
Time,  Stress,  Emphasis,  Modulation  and  Cadence  to  the 
various  qualities  of  tone,  selected  with  proper  reference 
to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed.  Expression  also  teaches 
Self-Control,  Ease,  Polish,  Address,  Fluency,  etc. 

A  knowledge  of  Art  is  not  purely  a  matter 
of  ornamental  education.  In  most  branches 
of  trade^  and  in  many  branches  of  manufacture,  an  ar- 
tistic taste  is  a  matter  of  practical  importance  in  the 
gaining  of  one's  livelihood.  There  are  few  kinds  of 
handiwork  in  which  the  element  of  design  does  not 
enter,  and  wherever  the  arts  of  design  are  in  question, 
taste  has  to  be  exercised.  There  is  a  general  tendency 
to  introduce  the  practice  of  drawing  into  elementary 
school  instruction,  resulting  from  a  public  recognition 
of  these  practical  uses  of  Art  instruction. 

We  have  provided  instruction  for  courses  in  Drawing, 
Crayon  and  Pastel  Work,  Water  Color  and  Oil  Painting. 

The  teaching  of  the  above  work  is  conditioned  on  there

course — an  opportunity  of  taking  a  regular  normal

XVI.  Terms. 

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance,  but  monthly 
payments  may  be  arranged  when  necessary.  No  deduc- 
tion will  be  made  for  absence  except  in  cases  of  pro- 
tracted illness  of  one  week  or  more.  All  pupils  must 
enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a  term,  unless 
previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the  contrary.  The 
entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered  as  an  acceptance 
of  these  terms. 

The  school  is  no  longer  a  private  enterprise.  All 
accounts  must  be  settled  in  full  on  or  before  January  1 
and  July  1,  as  the  Committee  must  settle  with  County 
Board  of  Education  on  these  dates,  and  report  oftener 
if  they  require  it. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition  if  from  outside  of 
Wake  County. 

XVII.  Board. 

Mrs.  C.  A.  Wood,  as  Manager,  will  preside 
mi"      over  the  students'  home  in  the  school  build- 
ing.    She  is  assisted  by  one  of  the  young 
men  as  purchasing  agent. 

These  dormitories   are  furnished  with  bedstead,  mat- 


22  VARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

tress  with  springs,  chairs,  table,  lamp,  etc.  All  boys 
rooming  in  dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bed- 
ding, pillow,  and  toilet  articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush, 
soap,  matches,  etc.  They  get  their  board  at  actual  cost, 
which  varies  with  the  price  and  quality  of  groceries. 

The  room  rent  for  next  year  will  be  $1.50  a  month. 
The  old  price  was  fixed  when  fuel  was  much  cheaper  than 
now.  The  estimated  cost,  based  on  the  last  two  years, 
is  $7.25  to  $7.75  per  month. 

As  an  evidence  of  good  faith  all  applicants  for  these 
rooms  will  deposit  one  month's  room  rent  with  the 
Principal  between  July  15  and  August  5.  After  the  lat- 
ter date  the  first  ones  paying  will  get  the  vacant  rooms, 
if  any. 

During  the  past  year  pupils  in  these  dormitories  were 
allowed  to  remain  in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Prin- 
cipal reserves  the  right  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dor- 
mitory to  the  school  rooms  for  indolence  or  disorder. 

Another  club  for  boys  is  being  planned,  and  we  think 

will  be  ready  by  opening  of  session. 

During  the  past  year  this  home  for  girls 
2.  Browning-  wag    built       There    ig    nQW    r00m     jn    jt    {qt 

three  teachers  and  twenty-six  girls.  This 
is  presided  over  by  Mrs.  Lynn,  who  for  five  years  has 
successfully  managed  private  boarding  houses  for  girls. 
The  building  is  neatly  and  comfortably  furnished.  For 
convenience,  though  at  extra  cost,  coal  is  used  for  fuel. 
The  girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat  and  be  quiet  and 
studious  in  their  own  rooms  during  study  hours.  The 
girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow,  and 
necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap,  matches,  comb  and 
brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  will  be  $9.25  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  will  be  $6  per  month. 
Such  pupils  will  be  grouped,  as  far  as  possible  in  the 
same  rooms,  to  stop  cost  of  fires  and  lights  during  their 
absence. 


1.   Private 

Families. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  23 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  for  all  pupils  desir- 
ing board.  Many  of  the  best  Christian 
homes  in  Cary  have  been  open  for  the  boys  and  girls  of 
the  school.  During  the  past  year  boys  and  girls  have 
had  different  boarding  places,  and  .the  same  plans  will 
be  arranged  for  next  year.  Our  charges  are  as  low  as 
can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for  groceries.  These 
charges  cover  all  expenses  except  washing,  but  each 
pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or 
two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow-cases.  Arrange- 
ments can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday  of 
each  week.  The  Principal  will  gladly  arrange  board 
when  notified  by  parents. 

Board   in   private   families $9 .  00 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday $6 .  00 

In  the  boys'  club  each  member  must  deposit  $5  at  be- 
ginning of  each  month,  and  pay  balance  at  end  of  month. 
At  Browning  Hall  and  in  private  families  board  is 
payable  at  end  of  each  month,  with  no  deductions  for 
less  than  one  week.  At  end  of  terms  the  same  time  will 
be  charged  for  as  is  made  in  school. 

XVIII.     Miscellaneous. 

1.  In  the  common  school  branches  all  books  adopted 
by  the  State  Board  of  Education  will  be  used.  The  law 
allows  the  use  of  other  books  as  supplementary.  Our 
term  being  longer  than  the  regular  public  school  will 
allow  the  use  of  many  of  these.  In  the  High  School  the 
Principal  has  selected  text-books  by  standard  authors, 
and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use  books  mentioned 
in  the  course  of  study,  except  when  it  is  to  the  interest 
of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in  charge  to  order  a  change. 

2.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already 
formed. 


24  CABY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

3.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

4.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation,  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 

5.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when  any 
complaint  is  made. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
homes,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 

7.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the  Prin- 
cipal for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as  while  at 
the  school  building. 

For  further  information,   address 

E.  L.  MIDDLETON,  Principal, 

Cary,  North  Carolina. 

XIX      Rules. 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time.  We 
add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly  and  girls  lady-like  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retiring, 
except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  public 
meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the    Principal    or    his    representative.     Girls,  and  boys 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  25 

under  eighteen  years,  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  anyone  in  boarding  houses. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offence 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores,  or  at  rail- 
road depots.

exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
chaperonage. 

9.  There  must  be  no  written  communications  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  heavy  demeriting  or  suspension.

V.     Forewords. 

All  enterprises  of  great  success  and  useful- 
ly A  Look  ness  are  0f  siow  growth.  For  twelve  years 
'  a  few  faithful  men  and  women  have  worked 
and  prayed  and  planned  to  have  a  strong,  useful  edu- 
cational institution  in  Cary.  They  have  given  of  their 
time  and  money  for  the  success  of  the  school.  The 
patronage  has  grown  in  numbers  and  territory.  During 
the  past  year  the  patronage  has  come  from  17  counties, 
while  the  local  patronage  has  been  greatly  enlarged 
under  the  new  regime.  The  building  has  been  very  much 
enlarged  and  improved  at  a  cost  of  $2,250.  The  County 
Board  of  Education  has  furnished  all  needed  desks  and 
other  equipment. 

The  new  law   enacted  by  the  General  As- 

2.  A  Look     sembly  of   1907,  providing  for  a  system  of 

1  public  high  schools  for  North  Carolina,  has 
now  been  in  operation  for  a  year.  The  Cary  Public  High 
School  was  the  first  established  under  this  law,  and 
since  its  establishment  about  one  hundred  and  fifty 
others  have  been  established  in  the  State.  In  point  of 
patronage  and  efficiency  the  school  has  come  to  occupy 
a  position  among  the  leading  schools  of  the  State. 

The  rules  of  Superintendent  Joyner  admit 

3.  "Who  Can  t,hose    wh0    nave    completed    the    course    of 

study   for   public   schools   issued   from   his 
office.     The   first   seven   grades   in   this   catalogue   cover

this  course.  Applicants  must  stand  examination  on 
entering  or  bring  certificate  from  last  teacher  saying  the 
course  has  been  satisfactorily  completed,  and  this  must 
be  signed  by  the  County  Superintendent. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and  stu- 
dents over  twenty-one  years  of  age  who  pledge  to  teach, 
will  be  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one  years 
of  age  must  pay  tuition. 

4  O  t  id  ^^e  bounty  Board  of  Education  has  al- 
Patron-  lowed  the  school  committee  to  receive  pu- 
agre.  pils  from  territory  outside  of  Wake  County. 

This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.  These  pupils 
will  receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the  school 
under  private  management.  There  will  be  room  for 
these  in  boarding  houses  and  school  rooms,  and  no 
undue  crowding  will  be  allowed.  We  earnestly  solicit 
the  co-operation  of  our  old  pupils  outside  of  Wake 
County. 

Many  farmers  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 
5.  When  to  grace  to  have  farm  work  a  few  weeks  be- 
hind that  of  their  neighbors,  think  it  all 
right  to  enter  their  children  from  one  to  eight  weeks 
behind  their  classes.  With  late  planting  they  expect 
poor  crops,  but  ask  for  good  results  in  school  with  late 
entrance.  The  first  is  as  possible  and  probable  as  the 
last.  Going  to  school  is  a  business,  and  no  one  ever 
engages  in  any  business  more  important.  If  one  fail  in 
business  he  may  start  again,  but  if  education  is  neg- 
lected, lost  opportunities  can  never  be  regained.  We 
urge  all  to  be  present  as  early  in  the  session  as  possible, 
and  be  sure  to  plan  for  the  whole  term. 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  7 

VI.     The  Faculty. 

The  School  Committee  has  exercised  the  greatest 
painstaking  in  electing  teachers  for  next  year.  Full 
investigation  was  made  regarding  the  ability,  fitness 
and  attainments  of  each  one. 

From  a  very  large  number  of  applicants  the  teachers 
named  on  another  page  were  chosen.  It  is  believed  their 
work  will  prove  the  wisdom  of  their  election. 

Mr.  E.  L.  Middleton,  the  former  Principal,  has  this  to 
say  to  his  former  patrons:  "In  leaving  a  work  where 
I  have  put  twelve  years  of  the  prime  of  life  I  was 
greatly  interested  in  the  faculty  for  next  year.  Four 
of  the  new  faculty  were  co-laborers  in  my  work.  Every 
one  has  proven  herself  to  be  one  of  the  best  teachers  in 
my  knowledge.  I  have  known  Principal  Dry  for  seven 
years.  I  have  been  in  his  school  and  seen  his  splendid 
work.  Many  prominent  men  commend  him  unreservedly. 
The  committee  has  made  no  mistake.  Mr.  Brothers  has 
had  a  full  year's  experience  and  comes  with  the  highest 
endorsement.  Miss  Pegram  is  no  stranger.  She  is 
known  and  loved  by  all  our  people.  She  is  a  college 
graduate  with  five  years  successful  experience.  In  all 
candor,  I  believe  the  school  nas  the  strongest  faculty  in 
its  history." 

VII.     Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want. 

For  the  next  year  we  wish  to  have  a  most  cordial 
relationship  existing  between  parents  and  pupils  and 
teachers.  There  must  be  between  parents  and  teachers, 
harmony,  sympathy,  co-operation  and  mutual  good  will, 
if  good  results.  Let  the  parents  openly  come  to  us  and 
name  their  ideals,  and  if  right  and  possible  we  will 
reach  them.     Here  are  some  of  our  ideals: 


8  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us  in 
our  work.     Those  who  have  the  courage  to 
see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatisfaction, 
rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  institution. 

Who  realize  that  mental  force  is  superior 

to    physical    force.     Boys    of    good    habits 

who  want  an  education  and  are  willing  to  work  for  it. 

Boys   who   see   the  great  possiuiiities  lying  before  men 

of  the  rising  generation. 

Wiio  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 
hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in 
woman's  sphere  and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  them- 
selves for  the  noble  callings  now  open  to  women.  Girls 
who  prefer  well-stored  brains  and  countenances  beaming 
with  intelligence  to  servile  obedience  to  the  whims  of 
fashion. 

VIII.     What  We  Do. 

The  school  is  thoroughly  permeated  with 
1.  For  the  the  spirit  of  Christianity.  Only  teachers  of 
ear  "  recognized  Christian  cnaracter  have  been 
employed.  In  no  case  win  any  influence  be  allowed 
which  might  draw  a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moor- 
ings. As  far  as  possible,  xne  wholesome  influence  of  a 
Christian  home  is  thrown  around  our  students.  While 
character  is  being  formed,  anu  impressions  for  life  are 
being  made,  the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a 
most  wonderful  field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer-meeting.  It 
is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 
been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regular 
church  prayer-meetings  at  the  churches.  The  school  is 
opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exercises. 

Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.     Pupils  are  expected  to  attend 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

the  services  of  these  churches  and  Sunday  School  regu- 
larly. 

It   is   our    plan   to   cultivate   our   students 

2.  For  the     physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  morally. 

Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  class- 
room and  in  after  life  can  not  be  realized.  To  this  end, 
we  have  football  and  baseball  grounds,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  out-door  exercise.  A  few 
match  games  are  allowed,  but  our  team  has  never  been 
allowed  to  be  away  except  to  return  the  same  day.  An 
excellent  tennis  court  is  available  to  teachers  and  pupils. 
Basketball  will  be  encouraged  next  year. 

In    all   our    work   we   have    three    ends    in 

3.  For  the     view — to   teach    pupils   to   be   observant   of 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  edu- 
cate a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  noi  drive  him,  draw  out 
his  mental  powers  rather  nian  pour  in  a  heterogenous 
mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to  do  as 
much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials  in 
education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and  those 
which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for  the  active 
duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments  we 
take  an  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college.  Fre- 
quent and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling,  reading 
and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are  trained 
in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent  exercises 
in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  acquired  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  principles  of  gram- 
mar the  critical  study  of  English  Classics  is  emphasized. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  give  as  broad 
culture  as  possible  and  yet  magnify  the  practical  parts. 


10  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason  from  cause  to 
effect,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  make  practical  applica- 
tion of  every  lesson  imparted.  Our  methods  of  instruc- 
tion are  varied  with  a  view  to  arousing  and  holding  a 
live  interest  in  the  work. 

IX.     What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have. 

Too  much  could  not  be  saiu.  of  the  desira- 
bility of  the  location.  It  is  both  healthful 
and  beautiful.  The  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town  of 
Cary  could  not  be  excelled  in  the  State.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the  youth 
that  will  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad 
facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the 
junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  railways,  eight 
miles  west  of  Raleigh. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions 

and   has  excellent  water.     Few  towns  can 

show   a  better   health   record.      During   last  year   there 

was   not   a   single   case   of   illness   in   the   student   body 

caused  by  any  local  conditions. 

Many  pupils  are  exceedingly  careless  in  the  preserva- 
tion of  health  in  unnecessary  exposure  without  wraps, 
over-shoes  and  hats.  A  very  large  per  cent  of  all  sick- 
ness here  is  traceable  to  such  thoughtlessness.  Parents 
are  urged  to  co-operate  with  teachers  in  this  matter. 
3  B  ild-  ^n  ^e  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
ing-s.  and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful   campus  of 

oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  six  large  and  well-lighted  class-rooms — which  may 
be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — dining-hall, 
reading-room,  library,  office,  and  four  music-rooms.  On 
the  second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron  and  dormito- 
ries   for    thirty   boys.     To   this    old    building    has    been

added  a  splendid  building  with  two  more  school-rooms 
and  two  literary  society  halls. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
4.  Equip-  a|3je  furniture  and  equipment.  The  class- 
rooms have  folding  desks,  charts  and  maps. 
Sufficient  new  furniture  has  been  added  to  meet  the 
needs  of  an  enlarged  patronage.  The  music-rooms  are 
furnished  with  four  pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms 
with  neat  and  comfortable  furniture.  The  literary  so- 
cieties have  added  new  furniture  at  a  cost  of  $250,  and 
now  have  two  of  the  most  beautiful  halls  of  any  high 
school  in  North  Carolina. 

X.     General  Culture. 

The  Clay  and  Calhoun  Societies  for  young

Sodietiea.  ,      ,  .  .   .     , 

meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 

composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  Most  excellent  results 
have  been  obtained  during  the  past  year.  The  good  to 
be  derived  from  this  work  can  not  be  overestimated.  It 
gives  a  knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates 
a  fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  expressing 
in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by  many 
people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and 
as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior.  We  want  original 
thought,  and  there  is  no  field  broader  and  more  capable 
of  yielding  rich  harvest. 

Besides  the  above  societies,  there  is  the  Juvenile 
Society  for  boys  and  girls  of  the  grammar  grades.  The 
pupils  of  the  pirmary  grades  are  required  to  do  the 
same  work.  Every  pupil  in  school  will  be  required  to 
do  this  work  in  declamation,  recitation,  essay  writing 
and  debate  in  one  of  the  school  organizations  or  on 
English  classes  once  in  two  weeks. 


12  GABY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

A  library  of  over  500  volumes  has  been  col- 
lected, to  which  additions  are  constantly 
being  made.  Every  volume  is  carefully  examined,  and 
nothing  except  literature  of  high  order  is  allowed  on 
our  shelves.  We  have  many  volumes  of  biography,  his- 
tory, addresses,  together  with  the  prose  and  poetical 
work  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow, 
Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and  others. 

Under  new  conditions  it  will  not  be  expedient  or  pos- 
sible to  conduct  a  reading-room,  as  in  the  past,  but 
pupils  will  be  encouraged  to  form  reading  circles  and  if 
possible  a  class  in  Current  History  will  be  formed. 

XI.     What  Our  Pupils  Do. 

In  the  South,  no  secondary  school  can  confine  itself 
to  one  specific  line  of  work.  We  have  two  general  ends 
in  view — one  to  prepare  boys  and  girls  for  college,  the 
other  to  fit  the  great  mass  of  our  students  for  the  active 
duties  of  life.  In  the  latter  class  we  can  point  with 
pride  to  young  men  and  women  who  are  becoming  strong 
factors  in  the  social,  industrial  and  church  life  of  their 
several  communities.  In  the  former  class  our  pupils 
are  doing  us  honor  while  honoring  themselves. 

Very  few  secondary  schools  send  a  larger  per  cent  of 
their  senior  classes  to  college. 

During  last  year  we  had  a  large  number  of  former 
pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  Wake  Forest  College, 
A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Baptist  University  for 
Women,  and  Oxford  Seminary.  This  does  not  include 
several  of  our  students  who  went  directly  from  our 
school  to  professional  schools. 

Many  of  our  pupils  find  themselves  in  the  front  in 
their  classes.  They  make  high  marks  and  are  frequent 
winners  of  medals  and  college  honors.

XII.     Record  of  Work. 

Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how  often 

1.   Examin-    or    ^ow    difficult    examinations    should    be. 
at  ions.         ,,,  ... 

We  require  one  or  more  written  examina- 
tions of  all  pupils  on  all  studies  during  each  quarter, 
but  these  examinations  are  short  and  at  such  times  as 
will  give  the  pupils  an  oppotunity  of  telling  what  they 
know,  and  not  what  has  been  "crammed''  in  their  heads 
for  a  special  occasion.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  reci- 
tations, and  an  average  mark  is  secured  from  these  two 
sources. 

These  examinations  must  be  stood  or  the  pupil  take 
zero  in  making  our  averages.  It  is  manifestly  unfair  to 
require  a  part  and  not  all  pupils  to  pass  examinations. 

There  are  too  low  ideals  regarding  examinations. 
Pupils  are  not  allowed  to  give  or  receive  aid  from  any 
source.  To  appropriate  the  ideas  of  others  unlawfully 
is  as  sinful  as  to  steal  material  things,  and  to  give  these 
makes  the  giver  a  party  to  the  sin. 

Zero  is  given  on  such  examinations,  with  enough  de- 
merits to  make  deportment  "'bad."  Pupils  guilty  of  this 
can  not  receive  a  school  certificate  until  the  work  has 
been  passed  during  a  subsequent  year. 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  quarter. 
.    Keports.    -^e    jjggp    an    parents    informed    regarding 
the    scholarship,    deportment    and    attendance    of    their 
children. 

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.     Low  marks  on  scholar- 
ship are  not  necessarily  a  sign  of  poor  work.     A  poor 
mark   on  deportment  needs   immediate  attention. 
3.    Promo-     Our   standards   will   be  kept   high.     Pupils 
tions.  to  pass  from  one  year  or  grade  to  the  next 

must  average  eighty  per  cent  on  their  respective  studies, 


14  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

and  all  examinations  must  be  passed.  Pupils  stopping 
before  end  of  term  and  failing  to  stand  examinations 
have  no  right  to  expect  promotion  until  the  omitted 
pages  have  been  learned  and  examinations  stood.  All 
reputable  institutions  of  learning  require  this. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 

is   posted.     To    be   entitled   to   a   place   on 
this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholar- 
ship,   95    on   attendance,    and   excellent   on   deportment. 
To   be   entitled   to    honorable   mention    a   pupil   must 
make  the  above  marks  on  scholarship  and  deportment. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  will  be  given  by  the  Principal 
to  the  pupil  in  the  High  School  making  the  highest 
scholarship  during  next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a 
pupil  must  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the 
year — and  must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 
The  literary  societies  will  give  medals  for  excellence 
in  debate,  declamation  and  recitation. 

Other  prizes  may  be   announced  after   the   session   is 
opened. 

In  the  course  of  study  there  are  six  de- 
5.   Gradua-    partments — Latin,     English,     Mathematics, 

History,  Science,  and  French.  To  receive 
a  certificate  of  proficiency  a  pupil  must  have  completed 
the  work  in  at  least  three  of  the  first  five  courses,  and 
due  credit  will  be  given  to  all  pupils  who  have  com- 
pleted Latin  and  Mathematics  through  the  Junior  year. 
Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be  made  up 
during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and  deficits 
during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly.  All 
deficits  below  75  must  be  made  up  by  special  examina- 
tion and  can  not  be  redeemed  by  good  marks  in  another 
quarter.  Deportment  must  average  85,  and  any  pupil 
receiving  below  75  during  any  quarter  will  be  barred 
from  Senior  class.  No  pupil  will  be  given  a  certificate 
unless  he  has  passed  two  years  of  Latin.

XIII.     Special  Departments. 

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  necessity 
to  a  civilized  people.  It  is  the  most  exten- 
sively cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreciated  of 
all  the  fine  arts.  A  thoroufh  and  conscientious  course 
in  music  will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training 
mental  and  heart  training  also.  Many  now  study  music 
who  never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that  comes 
from  such  a  course  of  study,  and  because  they  realize 
that  all  cultivation  of  the  fine  arts  is  an  upward  and 
forward  step. 

Our  purpose  is  to  train  pupils  on  technic  and  such  a 
course  of  study  as  tends  to  give  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

Miss  Rodwell  has  made  an  extensive  study  of  vocal 
music.  We  hope  many  will  avail  themselves  of  training 
in  this  department.  Arrangements  will  be  made  to  teach 
quartets  and  chorus  classes  at  nominal  cost. 

„     ™  Elocution   is   no   longer   considered   a  mere 

2.    Elocu-  _  ° 

tion.  pastime    study.      The    eyes    of    the    people, 

even  in  our  conservative  South,  have  been  opened  to  see 
not  only  the  beauty  and  grandeur,  but  the  practical  im- 
portance of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inelegant 
speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from  the  field 
to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both  brain  and 
body. 

To  give  due  expression  to  our  thoughts  and  feelings, 
we  must  learn  to  apply  the  principles  of  Pitch,  Force, 
Time,  Stress,  Emphasis,  Modulation  and  Cadence  to  the 
various  qualities  of  tone,  selected  with  proper  reference 
to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed.  Expression  also  teaches 
Self-Control,  Ease,  Polish,  Address,  Fluency,  etc.

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance.  No  deduc- 
tion will  be  made  for  absence  except  in  cases  of  pro- 
tracted illness  of  one  week  or  more.  All  pupils  must 
enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a  term,  unless 
previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the  contrary.  The 
entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered  as  an  acceptance 
of  these  terms. 

The  school  is  no  longer  a  private  enterprise.  All 
accounts  must  be  settled  in  full  on  or  before  January  1 
and  June  1. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition  if  from  outside  of 
Wake  County. 

XVII.  Board. 

The    dormitories    are    furnished    with    bed- 

1.  Dormi-      stead,  mattress  with  springs,  chairs,  table, 

lamp,  etc.  All  boys  rooming  in  dormitory 
must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow,  and  toilet 
articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush,  soap,  matches,  etc. 
They  get  their  board  at  actual  cost,  which  varies  with 
the  price  and  quality  of  groceries. 

The  room  rent  for  next  year  will  be  $1.50  a  month. 
The  estimated  cost,  based  on  the  last  two  years,  is  $7.00 
to  $8.00  per  month. 

During  the  past  year  pupils  in  these  dormitories  were 
allowed  to  remain  in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Prin- 
cipal reserves  the  right  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dor- 
mitory to  the  school  rooms  for  indolence  or  disorder. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by  Mrs. 

2.  Brown-     Lynn,  who  for   five  years   has   successfully 

managed  private  boarding  houses  for  girls. 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  21 

The  building  is  neatly  and  comfortably  furnished.  For 
convenience,  though  at  extra  cost,  coal  is  used  for  fuel. 
The  girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat  and  be  quiet  and 
studious  in  their  own  rooms  during  study  hours.  The 
girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow,  and 
necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap,  matches,  comb  and 
brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  will  be  $9.25  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  will  be  $6.50  per  month. 
Such  pupils  will  be  grouped,  as  far  as  possible,  in  the 
same  rooms,  to  stop  cost  of  fires  and  lights  during  their 
absence. 

During  next  year  the  Principal  and  family  will  have 
a  suite  of  rooms  in  this  building.  All  parents  may  rest 
assured  that  their  daughters'  every  interest  will  be  care- 
fully looked  after. 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrange- 
1.  Private  ments  have  been  made  for  all  pupils  desir- 
'  ing  board.  Many  of  the  best  Christian 
homes  in  Cary  have  been  open  for  the  boys  and  girls  of 
the  school.  During  the  past  year  boys  and  girls  have 
had  different  boarding  places,  and  the  same  plans  will 
be  arranged  for  next  year.  Our  charges  are  as  low  as 
can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for  groceries.  These 
charges  cover  all  expenses  except  washing,  but  each 
pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or 
two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow-cases.  Arrange- 
ments can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday  of 
each  week.  The  Principal  will  gladly  arrange  board 
when  notified  by  parents. 

Board  in  private  families $9.25 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday 6.50 

In  the  boys'  club  each  member  must  deposit  $5  at  be- 
ginning of  each  month,  and  pay  balance  at  end  of  month.

At  Browning  Hall  and  in  private  families  board  is

1.  In  the  common  school  branches  all  books  adopted 
by  the  State  Board  of  Education  will  be  used.  The  law 
allows  the  use  of  other  books  as  supplementary.  Our 
term  being  longer  than  the  regular  public  school  will 
allow  the  use  of  many  of  these.  In  the  High  School  the 
Principal  has  selected  text-booivs  by  standard  authors, 
and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use  books  mentioned 
in  the  course  of  study,  except  when  it  is  to  the  interest 
of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in  charge  to  order  a  change. 

2.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already 
formed. 

3.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal,  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

4.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 

5.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when  any 
complaint  is  made. 

G.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
homes,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  23 

7.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the  Prin- 
cipal for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as  while  at 
the  school  building. 

8.  All  pupils  in  High  School  from  Wake  County  must 
conform  to  course  of  study  prescribed  by  Superintendent 
Joyner.  Each  one  must  have  at  least  one  foreign  lan- 
guage and  carry  all  other  studies  as  nearly  in  order  of 
course  of  study  as  circumstances  will  allow. 

9.  No  pupil  will  be  allowed  time  out  of  school  for 
practice  in  music  unless  she  is  a  bona  fide  pupil  under 
some  teacher  of  music. 

For  further  information  address 

M.  B.  DRY,  Principal, 

Caey,  N.  C. 

XIX.     Rules. 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time.  We 
add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly  and  girls  ladylike  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retiring, 
except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  public 
meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls,  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years,  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 


24  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores,  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

8.  Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
chaperonage. 

9.  There  must  be  no  written  communications  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  heavy  demeriting  or  suspension.

V.  Foreword 

All  enterprises  of  great  success  and  useful- 
'       ,         ,    ness    are    of    slow    growth.      For    thirteen 

years  a  few  faithful  men  and  women  have 
worked  and  prayed  and  planned  to  have  a  strong,  useful 
educational  institution  in  Cary.  They  have  given  of 
their  time  and  money  for  the  success  of  the  school.  The 
patronage  has  grown  in  numbers  and  territory.  During 
the  past  year  the  patronage  has  come  from  eighteen 
counties,  while  the  local  patronage  has  been  greatly 
enlarged  under  the  new  regime. 

The  new  law  enacted   by  the   General  As- 

2.  A  Look    sembly  of   1907,  providing  for  a  system  of 

public  high  schools  for  North  Carolina,  has 
now  been  in  operation  for  two  years.  The  Cary  Public 
High  School  was  the  first  established  under  this  law. 
In  point  of  patronage  and  efficiency  the  school  has  come 
to  occupy  a  position  among  the  leading  schools  of  the 
State. 

The  rules  of  Superintendent  Joyner  admit 

3.  Who  Can  those   who    have    completed    the    course    of 

study  for  public  schools  issued  from  his 
office.  The  first  seven  grades  in  this  catalogue  cover 
this  course.  Applicants  must  stand  examinations  on 
entering  or  bring  certificate  from  last  teacher  saying  the 
course  has  been  satisfactorily  completed. 


6  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and  stu- 
dents over  twenty-one  years  of  age  who  pledge  to  teach, 
are  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one  years 
of  age  must  pay  tuition. 

4  Outs'de  ^*ie  County  Board  of  Education  has  al- 
Patron-  lowed  the  school  committee  to  receive  pu- 
ag-e  pils  from  territory  outside  of  Wake  County. 

This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.  These  pupils 
receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the  school 
under  private  management.  We  earnestly  solicit  the 
cooperation  of  our  old  pupils  outside  of  Wake  County. 

Many  farmers  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 

5.  When  to  grace  to  have  farm  work  a  few  weeks  be- 
Enter 

hind   that  of  their  neighbors,   think  it  all 

right  to  enter  their  children  from  one  to  eight  weeks 
behind  their  classes.  With  late  planting  they  expect 
poor  crops,  but  ask  for  good  results  in  school  with  late 
entrance.  The  first  is  as  possible  and  probable  as  the 
last.  Going  to  school  is  a  business,  and  no  one  ever 
engages  in  any  business  more  important.  If  one  fail  in 
business  he  may  start  again,  but  if  education  is  neg- 
lected, lost  opportunities  can  never  be  regained.  We 
urge  all  to  be  present  as  early  in  the  session  as  possible, 
and  be  sure  to  plan  for  the  whole  term. 

VI.     The  Faculty 

The  school  committee  has  exercised  great  care  in  the 
selection  of  teachers  for  next  session.  The  Principal 
has  had  thirteen  years'  experience  at  the  head  of  a 
boarding  school,  one  year  at  Cary  and  twelve  as  princi- 
pal of  the  well-known  Wingate  School.  Mr.  Bivens  has 
been  known  to  the  Principal  from  childhood.  He  is  a 
young  man  of  clean  life,  studious  in  disposition,  pleas- 
ing in  manners,  and  well  equipped  from  the  standpoint 
of  scholarship  for  the  position  which  he  is  to  fill.     He  is 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  7 

an  honor  graduate  of  Trinity  College.  Miss  Harrison, 
the  music  teacher,  has  taught  successfully  in  some  of 
the  best  high  schools  of  the  State,  among  them  Winter- 
ville,  where  she  taught  four  years.  Misses  Pasmore, 
Pegram  and  Ellis  are  known  to  our  people,  and  because 
of  their  experience  and  ability  are  reelected  for  another 
year.  One  teacher  is  yet  to  be  employed,  but  no  pains 
will  be  spared  to  secure  the  very  best  teacher  that  can 
be  found  before  the  opening  of  the  Fall  Term. 

VII.     Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want 

We  wish  to  have  a  most  cordial  relationship  existing 
between  parents  and  pupils  and  teachers.  There  must 
be  between  parents  and  teachers,  harmony,  sympathy, 
cooperation  and  mutual  good  will,  if  good  results.  Let 
the  parents  openly  come  to  us  and  name  their  ideals, 
and  if  right  and  possible  we  will  reach  them.  Here  are 
some  of  our  ideals: 

Who   are  willing  to   cooperate  with  us  in 
our  work.     Those  who  have  the  courage  to 
see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatisfaction, 
rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  institution. 

Who  realize  that  mental  force   is  superior 

to    physical    force.      Boys    of    good    habits 

who  want  an  education  and  are  willing  to  work  for  it. 

Boys  who   see   the  great  possibilities   lying  before   men 

of  the  rising  generation. 

Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 
hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in 
woman's  sphere  and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  them- 
selves for  the  noble  callings  now  open  to  women.  Girls 
who  prefer  well-stored  brains  and  countenances  beaming 
with  intelligence  to  servile  obedience  to  the  whims  of 
fashion. 


1.    For  the 
Heart 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

VIII.     What  We  Do 

The  school  is  thoroughly  permeated  with 
the  spirit  of  Christianity.  Only  teachers  of 
recognized  Christian  character  have  been 
employed.  In  no  case  will  any  influence  be  allowed 
which  might  draw  a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moor- 
ings. As  far  as  possible  the  wholesome  influence  of  a 
Christian  home  is  thrown  around  our  students.  While 
character  is  being  formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are 
being  made,  the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a 
most  wonderful  field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer-meeting.  It 
is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 
been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regular 
church  prayer-meetings  at  the  churches.  The  school  is 
opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exercises. 

Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  attend 
the  services  of  these  churches  and  Sunday  School  regu- 
larly. 

It  is  our  plan  to  cultivate  our  students 
2.  For  the  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  morally. 
Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  class- 
room and  in  after  life  can  not  be  realized.  To  this  end, 
we  have  baseball  grounds,  and  students  are  encouraged 
to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exercise.  A  few  match  games 
are  allowed,  but  our  team  has  never  been  allowed  to  be 
away  except  to  return  the  same  day,  and  unless  accom- 
panied by  one  of  the  teachers  or  some  other  responsible 
person.  An  excellent  tennis  court  is  available  to  teach- 
ers and  pupils. 

In    all    our    work   we   have   three   ends   in 

view — to   teach   pupils   to   be  observant   of 
Head  r   r 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 

and   logical   in  what  they  say.     For   a  teacher   to  edu- 


CART  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

eate  a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him;  draw  out 
his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  heterogeneous 
mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to  do  as 
much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials  in 
education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and  those 
which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for  the  active 
duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments  we 
take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college.  Fre- 
quent and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling,  reading 
and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are  trained 
in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent  exercises 
in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  acquired  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  principles  of  gram- 
mar, the  critical  study  of  English  classics  is  emphasized. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  give  as  broad 
culture  as  possible  and  yet  magnify  the  practical  parts. 
The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason  from  cause  to 
effect,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  make  practical  applica- 
tion of  every  lesson  imparted.  Our  methods  of  instruc- 
tion are  varied  with  a  view  to  arousing  and  holding  a 
live  interest  in  the  work. 

IX.     What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have 

Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desira- 
bility of  the  location.  It  is  both  healthful 
and  beautiful.  The  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town  of 
Cary  could  not  be  excelled  in  the  State.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the  youth 
that  will  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad 
facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the 
junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  railways,  eight 
miles  west  of  Raleigh. 


10  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions 

and  has   excellent  water.     Few  towns   can 

show  a  better  health  record.     During  the  last  year  there 

was   not   a   single   case  of   illness   in   the   student   body 

caused  by  any  local  conditions. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  six  large  and  well-lighted  classrooms — which  may 
be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — dining-hall, 
reading-room,  library,  office,  and  four  music-rooms.  On 
the  second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron  and  dormito- 
ries for  thirty  boys.  To  this  old  building  has  been 
added  a  splendid  building  with  two  more  schoolrooms 
and  two  literary  society   halls. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
,  able  furniture   and  equipment.     The  class- 

rooms have  folding  desks,  charts  and  maps. 
Sufficient  new  furniture  has  been  added  to  meet  the 
needs  of  an  enlarged  patronage.  The  music-rooms  are 
furnished  with  four  pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms 
with  neat  and  comfortable  furniture.  The  literary  so- 
cieties have  two  of  the  most  beautiful  halls  of  any  high 
school  in  North  Carolina. 

X.     General  Culture 

The  Clay  and  Calhoun  Societies  for  young 
men  and  the  Browning  Society  for  girls 
meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 
composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  Most  excellent  results 
have  been  obtained  during  the  past  year.  The  good  to 
be  derived  from  this  work  can  not  be  overestimated.  It 
gives  a  knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates 
a  fondness  for  reading.     It  gives  the  power  of  expressing 


Literary 
Societies 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  11 

in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by  many 
people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and 
as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior.  We  want  original 
thought,  and  there  is  no  field  broader  and  more  capable 
of  yielding  rich  harvest. 

Besides  the  above  societies,  there  is  the  Juvenile 
Society  for  boys  and  girls  of  the  grammar  grades.  The 
pupils  of  the  primary  grades  are  required  to  do  the 
same  work.  Every  pupil  in  school  will  be  required  to 
do  this  work  in  declamation,  recitation,  essay  writing 
and  debate  in  one  of  the  school  organizations  or  on 
English  classes  once  in  two  weeks. 

A  library  of  about  six  hundred  volumes  has 
rary  keen  collected,  to  which  additions  are  con- 
stantly being  made.  Every  volume  is  carefully  exam- 
ined, and  nothing  except  literature  of  high  order  is 
allowed  on  our  shelves.  We  have  many  volumes  of 
biography,  history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose 
and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson, 
Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and  others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  best  papers  and  maga- 
zines, which  are  kept  in  the  study  halls. 

XI.    What  Our  Pupils  Do 

In  the  South,  no  secondary  school  can  confine  itself 
to  one  specific  line  of  work.  We  have  two  general  ends 
in  view — one  to  prepare  boys  and  girls  for  college,  the 
other  to  fit  the  great  mass  of  our  students  for  the  active 
duties  of  life.  In  the  latter  class  we  can  point  with 
pride  to  young  men  and  women  who  are  becoming  strong 
factors  in  the  social,  industrial  and  church  life  of  their 
several  communities.  In  the  former  class  our  pupils 
are  doing  us  honor  while  honoring  themselves. 

Very  few  secondary  schools  send  a  larger  per  cent  of 
their  senior  classes  to  college. 


12  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

During  last  year  we  had  a  large  number  of  former 
pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  Wake  Forest  College, 
A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Baptist  University  for 
Women,  and  Oxford  Seminary.  This  does  not  include 
several  of  our  students  who  went  directly  from  our 
school  to  professional  schools. 

Many  of  our  pupils  find  themselves  in  the  front  in 
their  classes.  They  make  high  marks  and  are  frequent 
winners  of  medals  and  college  honors. 

XII.     Record  of  Work 

Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how  often 
1.    Exami-     or    jj0W    difficult   examinations    should    be. 
nations       ,tt  •  ... 

We  require  one  or  more  written  examina- 
tions of  all  pupils  on  all  studies  during  each  quarter, 
but  these  examinations  are  short  and  at  such  times  as 
will  give  the  pupils  an  opportunity  of  telling  what  they 
know,  and  not  what  has  been  "crammed"  in  their  heads 
for  a  special  occasion.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  reci- 
tations, and  an  average  mark  is  secured  from  these  two 
sources. 

These  examinations  must  be  stood  or  the  pupil  take 
zero  in  making  our  averages.  It  is  manifestly  unfair  to 
require  a  part  and  not  all  pupils  to  pass  examinations. 

There  are  too  low  ideals  regarding  examinations. 
Pupils  are  not  allowed  to  give  or  receive  aid  from  any 
source.  To  appropriate  the  ideas  of  others  unlawfully 
is  as  sinful  as  to  steal  material  things,  and  to  give  these 
makes  the  giver  a  party  to  the  sin. 

Zero  is  given  on  such  examinations,  with  enough  de- 
merits to  make  deportment  "bad."  Pupils  guilty  of  this 
can  not  receive  a  school  certificate  until  the  work  has 
been  passed  during  a  subsequent  year. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  quarter. 

We  keep  all  parents  informed  regarding 
the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance  of  their 
children. 

We  ask  for  their  cooperation.  Low  marks  on  scholar- 
ship are  not  necessarily  a  sign  of  poor  work.  A  poor 
mark  on  deportment  needs  immediate  attention. 

Our   standards   will   be  kept  high.     Pupils 
"  to  pass  from  one  year  or  grade  to  the  next 

must  average  eighty  per  cent  on  their 
respective  studies,  and  all  examinations  must  be  passed. 
Pupils  stopping  before  end  of  term  and  failing  to  stand 
examinations  have  no  right  to  expect  promotion  until  the 
omitted  pages  have  been  learned  and  examinations  stood. 
All  reputable  institutions  of  learning  require  this. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 

is  posted.  To  be  entitled  to  a  place  on 
this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholar- 
ship, 95  on  attendance,  and  95  on  deportment. 

To  be  entitled  to  honorable  mention  a  pupil  must 
make  the  above  marks  on  scholarship  and  deportment. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  is  given  by  the  Principal 
to  the  pupil  in  the  High  School  making  the  highest 
scholarship  during  the  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a 
pupil  must  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the 
year — and  must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 
The  literary  societies  give  medals  for  excellence  in 
debate,  declamation  and  recitation. 

Other  prizes  may  be  announced  after  the  session  is 
opened. 

In   the   course   of   study  there   are   six  de- 
,.  "    partments — Latin,     English,     Mathematics, 

History,  Science,  and  French.  To  receive 
a  certificate  of  proficiency  a  pupil  must  have  completed 
the  work  of  at  least  three  of  the  first  five  courses,  and 
due   credit   will   be  given   to   all   pupils  who  have  com-

14  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

pleted  Latin  and  Mathematics  through  the  Junior  year. 
Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be  made  up 
during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and  deficits 
during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly.  All 
deficits  below  75  must  be  made  up  by  special  examina- 
tion and  can  not  be  redeemed  by  good  marks  in  another 
quarter.  Deportment  must  average  85,  and  any  pupil 
receiving  below  75  during  any  quarter  will  be  barred 
from  Senior  class.  No  pupil  will  be  given  a  certificate 
unless  he  has  passed  two  years  of  Latin  and  completed 
the  full  English  course. 

XIII.     Special  Departments 

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  necessity 
to  a  civilized  people.  It  is  the  most  exten- 
sively cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreciated  of 
all  the  fine  arts.  A  thorough  and  conscientious  course 
in  music  will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training 
mental  and  heart  training  also.  Many  now  study  music 
who  never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that  comes 
from  such  a  course  of  study,  and  because  they  realize 
that  all  cultivation  of  the  fine  arts  is  an  upward  and 
forward  step. 

Our  purpose  is  to  train  pupils  on  technic  and  such  a 
course  of  study  as  tends  to  give  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

„     ™  Elocution  is   no   longer   considered  a  mere 

2.    Elocu-  ° 

tion  pastime    study.     The    eyes    of    the    people, 

even  in  our  conservative  South,  have  been  opened  to  see 
not  only  the  beauty  and  grandeur,  but  the  practical  im- 
portance of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inelegant 
speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from  the  field 
to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both  brain  and 
body.

To  give  due  expression  to  our  thoughts  and  feelings, 
we  must  learn  to  apply  the  principles  of  Pitch,  Force, 
Time,  Stress,  Emphasis,  Modulation  and  Cadence  to  the 
various  qualities  of  tone,  selected  with  proper  reference 
to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed.  Expression  also  teaches 
Self-control,  Ease,  Polish,  Address,  Fluency,  etc.

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance.  No  deduc- 
tion will  be  made  for  absence  fxcept  in  cases  of  pro- 
tracted illness  of  one  iveek  or  more.  All  pupils  must 
enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a  term,  unless 
previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the  contrary.  The 
entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered  as  an  acceptance 
of  these  terms. 

The  school  is  no  longer  a  private  enterprise.  All 
accounts  must  be  settled  in  full  on  or  before  January  1 
and  June  1. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition  if  from  outside  of 
Wake  County. 

XVII.  Board 

The  dormitories  are  furnished  with  bed- 
1.    Dormi-     stead,  mattress  with  springs,  chairs,  table, 

lamp,  etc.  All  boys  rooming  in  dormitory 
must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow  and  toilet 
articles,    such   as   comb   and    brush,    soap,    matches,   etc. 


20  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH   SCHOOL. 

They  get  their  board  at  actual  cost,  which  varies  with 
the  price  and  quality  of  groceries. 

The  room  rent  is  $1.50  a  month,  which  includes  fuel, 
lights,  etc.  The  estimated  cost,  based  on  the  last  two 
years,  is  $7.00  to  $8.00  per  month. 

Night  latches  have  been  placed  upon  all  the  doors, 
and  each  pupil  will  be  required  to  deposit  25  cents  for 
his  key,  which  sum  will  be  returned  when  the  key  is 
delivered  up. 

Pupils  in  these  dormitories  are  allowed  to  remain 
in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right,  however,  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory 
to  the  schoolrooms  for  indolence  or  disorder. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by  Mrs. 

2.  Brown-    Lynn,   who   for   six  years   has   successfully 

managed  private  boarding  houses  for  girls. 
The  building  is  neatly  and  comfortably  furnished.  The 
girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat  and  be  quiet  and 
studious  in  their  own  rooms  during  study  hours.  The 
girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow,  and 
necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap,  matches,  comb 
and  brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  is  $9.25  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $6.50  per  month. 
Such  pupils  will  be  grouped,  as  far  as  possible,  in  the 
same  rooms,  to  stop  cost  of  fires  and  lights  during  their 
absence. 

The   Principal   and   family  have   a   suite  of  rooms   in 

this  building.     All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their 

daughters'  every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after. 

When   the   dormitories   are   filled,    satisfac- 

3.  Private     tory  arrangements  can  be  made  for  board 

with  private  families.  Boys  and  girls 
must  have  different  boarding  places.  Our  charges  are  as 
low  as  can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for  groceries. 
These  charges  cover  all  expenses  except  washing,  but 
each  pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  21 

or  two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow-eases.  Ar- 
rangements can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till 
Friday  of  each  week.  The  Principal  will  arrange  board 
wben  notified  by  parents. 

Board  in  private  families $9.2o 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday 6.50 

In  the  boys'  club  each  member  must  deposit  $5  at  be- 
ginning of  each  month,  and  pay  balance  at  end  of  month. 

At  Browning  Hall  and  in  private  families  board  is 
payable  at  end  of  each  month,  with  no  deductions  for 
less  than  one  week.  At  end  of  terms  the  same  time  will 
be  charged  for  as  is  made  in  school. 

XVIII.     Miscellaneous 

1.  In  the  common  school  branches  all  books  adopted 
by  the  State  Board  of  Education  will  be  used.  The  law 
allows  the  use  of  other  books  as  supplementary.  Our 
term  being  longer  than  the  regular  public  school  wfll 
allow  the  use  of  many  of  these.  In  the  High  School  the 
Principal  has  selected  text-books  by  standard  authors, 
and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use  books  mentioned 
in  the  course  of  study,  except  when  it  is  to  the  interest 
of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in  charge  to  order  a  change. 

2.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already 
formed. 

3.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal,  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

4.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 


22  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

5.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when  any 
complaint  is  made. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 

7.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the  Princi- 
pal for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as  while  at 
the  school  building. 

8.  All  pupils  in  High  School  from  Wake  County  must 
conform  to  course  of  study  prescribed  by  Superintendent 
Joyner.  Each  one  must  have  at  least  one  foreign  lan- 
guage and  carry  all  other  studies  as  nearly  in  order  of 
course  of  study  as  circumstances  will  allow.

XIX.     Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time.  We 
add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly  and  girls  ladylike  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retiring, 
except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  public 
meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years,  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores,  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

8.  Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
chaperonage. 

9.  There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  heavy  demeriting  or  suspension.

Cary  Public  High  School 


V.     Foreword 
The  Cary  High  School  is  not  a  new  enter- 
s'    b°°    h   Pr*se'   DU^  nas  an  honorable  history  ex- 
tending over  more  than  a   dozen  years. 
Under  the  guiding  hand  of  Prof.  E.  L.  Middleton,  its 
head  for  a  decade  or  more,  the  school  came  to  occupy 
a  foremost  place  among  the  private  preparatory  schools 
of  the  State.     When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907 
enacted  a  law  providing  for  a  system  of  public  high 
schools  for  North  Carolina,  the  Cary  High  School  was 
converted  into  the  Cary  Public  High   School,  which 
enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  high  school 
established  under  the  new  law.     As  such,  it  has  now 
been  in  operation  for  three  years   and  has  steadily 
grown  in  patronage  and  efficiency. 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent  ad- 
2.  Who  Can  mjt  those  who  have  completed  the  course 
of  study  for  public  high  schools  issued 
from  his  office.  The  first  seven  grades  in  this  cata- 
logue cover  this  course.  Applicants  must  stand  exam- 
inations on  entering,  or  bring  certificate  from  last 
teacher  saying  the  course  has  been  satisfactorily  com- 
pleted. 

All  public-school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and  stu- 
dents over  twenty-one  years  of  age  who  pledge  to 
teach,  are  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one 
years  of  age  must  pay  tuition. 


6  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  County  Board  of  Education  allows 

3.  Outside     ^e   gchool   committee   to   receive   pupils 

from  territory  outside  of  Wake  County. 
This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.  These  pupils 
receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the  school 
under  private  management. 

It  is  important  to  begin  at  the  opening, 

4.  When  to   jugt  as  important  as  to  begin  a  crop  on 

time.  The  pupil  who  starts  a  few  weeks 
late  is  often  handicapped  in  his  work  for  the  whole 
term.  Begin  at  the  first  and  plan  for  the  entire  school 
year. 

VI.      The  Faculty 

The  school  committee  exercises  great  care  in  the 
selection  of  teachers.  The  Principal  has  had  fourteen 
years'  experience  at  the  head  of  a  boarding  school, 
two  years  at  Cary  and  twelve  as  principal  of  Wingate 
High  School.  Mr.  Bivens  has  been  known  to  the  Prin- 
cipal from  childhood.  He  is  a  young  man  of  clean  life, 
studious  in  disposition,  pleasing  in  manners  and  well 
equipped  from  the  standpoint  of  scholarship  for  the 
position  which  he  fills.  He  is  an  honor  graduate  of 
Trinity  College.  He  taught  with  us  last  session  with 
great  satisfaction  to  pupils  and  patrons. 

Misses  Pasmore  and  Ellis  are  known  to  our  people, 
and  because  of  their  experience  and  ability  are  re- 
elected for  another  year. 

We  are  fortunate  in  securing  the  services  of  Miss 
Margaret  Bright  as  teacher  of  Expression.  She  is  a 
full  graduate  of  Meredith  College,  both  in  the  Literary 
Department  and  in  Expression.  She  taught  last  year 
at  Meredith. 

Misses  Yates  and  Yarborough  are  new  additions  to 
our  teaching  force,  but  they  are  well  equipped  for 
their  work  and  have  had  successful  experience  in 
teaching. 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  1 

Miss  Josephine  Evans  is  a  successful  teacher  of 
Domestic  Science,  and  her  addition  to  our  teaching 
force  will  greatly  increase  the  efficiency  of  the  school. 

The  music  teacher  is  yet  to  be  employed,  but  no 
pains  will  be  spared  to  secure  the  very  best  teacher 
that  can  be  found  before  the  opening  of  the  Fall  Term. 

VII.     Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want 

Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us  in 
1     Pstrons 

our  work.     Those  who  have  the  courage 

to  see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatisfac- 
tion, rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  insti- 
tution. 

°ys  Qf  g00(j  habits  who  want  an  education 

and  are  willing  to  work  for  it.  Boys  who  see  the 
great  possibilities  lying  before  men  of  the  rising  gen- 
eration. 

"  s  Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 

hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in  woman's  sphere 
and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  themselves  for  the 
noble  callings  now  open  to  women. 

VIII.      What  We  Do 

Only    teachers    of    recognized    Christian 
vj1"     .e     character  are  employed.     In   no  case  is 

any  influence  allowed  which  might  draw 
a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moorings.  As  far  as 
possible,  the  wholesome  influence  of  a  Christian  home 
is  thrown  around  our  students.  While  character  is 
being  formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are  being  made, 
the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a  most  wonder- 
ful field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer  meeting. 
It  is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 


8  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regu- 
lar church  prayer  meetings  at  the  churches.  The 
school  is  opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exer- 
cises. 

Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  at- 
tend the  services  of  these  churches  and  Sunday-school 

regularly. 
u     h       **  *s  our  P*an  *°  cultivate  our  students 

physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 
ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  classroom  and 
in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end,  we  have 
baseball  grounds  and  tennis  courts,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exercise.  A  few 
match  games  are  allowed,  but  our  team  has  never  been 
allowed  to  be  away  except  to  return  the  same  day, 
and  unless  accompanied  by  one  of  the  teachers  or  some 
other  responsible  person. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 

3.  For  the      view — to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of 
Head 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 

and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  edu- 
cate a  pupil  be  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him ;  draw 
out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  hetero- 
geneous mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged 
to  do  as  much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addi- 
tion to  mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those 
essentials  in  education  tending  to  culture  and  refine- 
ment, and  those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and 
women  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college. 
Frequent  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling, 
reading  and  writing.     In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

trained  in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent 
exercises  in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  ac- 
quired a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  princi- 
ples of  grammar,  the  critical  study  of  English  classics 
is  emphasized. 

IX.     What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have 

The  location  is  both  heathful  and  beauti- 
1.  Location   ful     The  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town 

of  Gary  is  hardly  excelled  anywhere.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the  youth 
that  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad  facili- 
ties could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the  junc- 
tion of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  railways,  eight 
miles  west  of  Raleigh. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions 
ea  and  has  excellent  water.    Few  towns  cau 

show  a  better  health  record. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
.  ui  ings  aQ(j  sul.roun(je(i  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  six  large  and  well-lighted  classrooms — which  may 
be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium — dining-hall, 
library,  office,  and  four  music-rooms.  On  the  second 
floor   are   dormitories  for  thirty-four   boys,   and   two 

literary  society  halls. 
4.  Equip-        Tlie  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
ment 

able  furniture  and  equipment.  The  class- 
rooms have  folding  desks,  charts  and  maps.  The 
music-rooms  are  furnished  with  four  pianos,  and  the 
dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  comfortable  furniture. 
The  literary  societies  have  beautifully  furnished  halls, 
and  these  are  the  pride  of  the  school. 


10  GABY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 


X.     General  Culture 


The  Clay  and  Calhoun  societies  for  young 

}~    ■  r5r^    men,  and  the  Browning  Society  for  girls 
Societies 

meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 

composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  The  good  to  be  derived 
from  this  work  cannot  be  overestimated.  It  gives  a 
knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates  a 
fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  express- 
ing in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by 
many  people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and 
things,  and  as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior. 

A  library  of  about  six  hundred  volumes 
1  rary  has  been  collected,  to  which  additions  are 
constantly  being  made.  We  have  many  volumes  of 
biography,  history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose 
and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tenny- 
son, Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and 
others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  daily  papers  and  the 
magazines. 

XL     What  Our  Pupils  Do 

We  have  two  general  ends  in  view — one  to  prepare 
boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
page  12)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which  bear 
most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those  con- 
templating a  profession,  the  Classical  Course  may  be 
chosen ;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricultural 
life,  the  Scientific  Course  doubtless  is  to  be  preferred ; 
while  for  those  having  in  view  a  business  career,  the 
English  Course  is  perhaps  the  best. 


CABY   PUBLIC   HIGH   SCHOOL.  11 

XII.     Record  of  Work 

We  require  one  or  more  written  exaniin- 
1.  Examma-   ations  of  all  pupils  on  all  studies  during 

each  quarter,  but  these  examinations  are 
short  and  at  such  times  as  will  give  the  pupils  an 
opportunity  of  telling  what  they  know,  and  not  what 
has  been  "crammed"  in  their  heads  for  a  special 
occasion.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on  recitations,  and 
an  average  mark  is  secured  from  these  two  sources. 

These  examinations  must  be  stood  or  the  pupil  take 
zero  in  making  our  averages. 

Pupils  are  not  allowed  to  give  or  receive  aid  from 
any  source. 

Zero  is  given  on  such  examinations,  with  enough  de- 
merits to  make  deportment  "bad."  Pupils  guilty  of 
this  cannot  receive  a  school  certificate  until  the  work 
has  been  passed  during  a  subsequent  year. 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  quar- 
epor  s     ter      We  keep  all   parentg   informe(i   re- 
garding the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance  of 
their  children,  and  we  ask  for  their  co-operation. 

Our  standards  will  be  kept  high.  Pupils 
3.  Promo-       to   pass  from   one  year  or  grade  to  the 

next  must  average  eighty  per  cent  on

ing  the  year.     To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must  be 

present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year — and 

must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter.

pleted one  of  the  following  courses : 

(1)  Classical. — Required:  Latin,  English,  Mathemat- 
ics. Elective:  History  or  Science  (through  the  Sopho- 
more year)  or  French. 

(2)  Scientific. —  Required:  Science,  Mathematics,

amination and  cannot  be  redeemed  by  good  marks  in 
another  quarter.  Deportment  must  average  85,  and 
any  pupil  receiving  below  75  during  any  quarter  will 
be  barred  from  Senior  Class.

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  neces-

sity  to  a  civilized  people.     It  is  the  most 

extensively  cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreci- 
ated of  all  the  fine  arts.    A  thorough  course  in  music

will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training  mental 
and  heart  training  also.  Many  now  study  music  who 
never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that 
comes  from  such  a  course  of  study. 

Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere 

2.  Elocution  pastime  stu(jy.     The  eyes  of  the  people 

have  been  opened  to  see  not  only  the  beauty  and 
grandeur,  but  the  practical  importance  of  true  ex- 
pression. And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the 
inelegant  speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from 
the  field  to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both 
brain  and  body.

mg,  has  been  taught  in  a  few  of  our  city 

high  schools  for  several  years,  but  so  far  has  not  been 
introduced  in  the  rural  village  high  schools  because  of 
limited  income  and  the  inability  to  secure  adequately 
trained  teachers.  The  subject  just  now  is  forcing 
itself  upon  the  attention  of  our  educational  leaders 
and  will  soon  receive  the  same  emphasis  as  agriculture 
in  our  rural  high  schools.  The  services  of  a  thor- 
oughly trained  teacher  have  been  secui"ed  for  this  de- 
partment'for  next  year,  and  the  instruction  will  be 
open  to  all  young  ladies  of  the  school  without  extra 
charge.

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance.  No  deduc- 
tion will  be  made  for  absence  except  in  cases  of  pro- 
tracted  illness  of  one  week  or  more.  All  pupils  must 
enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a  term, 
unless  previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the  con- 
trary. The  entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered  as 
an  acceptance  of  these  terms. 

The  school  is  not  a  private  enterprise.  All  accounts 
must  be  settled  in  full  ou  or  before  January  1  and 
June  1. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition  if  from  outside  of 
Wake  County. 

XVII.  Board 

The  dormitories  are  furnished  with  bed- 

1.  Dormi-       stead,  mattress  with  springs,  chairs,  table, 
tory 

lamp,  etc.    All  boys  rooming  in  dormitory 

must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow  and  toilet 

articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush,  soap,  matches,  etc. 

The  room  rent  is  $1.50  a  month,  which  includes  fuel, 
lights,  etc.  The  cost  of  table  board  is  $8.50  per  month, 
or  $6.00  from  Monday  to  Friday. 

Night  latches  have  been  placed  upon  all  the  doors, 
and  each  pupil  is  required  to  deposit  25  cents  for  his 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH   SCHOOL.  19 

key,  which  sum  will  be  returned  when  the  key  is  de- 
livered up. 

Pupils  in  these  dormitories  are  allowed  to  remain 
in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right,  however,  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory 
to  the  schoolrooms  for  indolence  or  disorder. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by 
2.  Browning  ^rs  Lynn  wh0  for  several  years  has  suc- 
cessfully managed  private  boarding  houses 
for  girls.  The  building  is  neatly  and  comfortably  fur- 
nished. The  girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat  and  be 
quiet  and  studious  in  their  rooms  during  study  hours. 
The  girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow, 
and  necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap,  matches, 
comb  and  brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  is  $10.00  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7.00  per  month,  or 
from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $7.50.  Such  pupils 
will  be  grouped,  as  far  as  possible,  in  the  same  rooms, 
to  stop  cost  of  fires  and  lights  during  their  absence. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughters' 

every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.     One  of 

the  lady   assistants,    Miss   Bright,   will   room   in   the 

dormitory  and  have  charge  of  the  girls. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satisfac-

with   private   families.     Boys   and   girls 

must  have  different  boarding  places.    Our  charges  are 

as  low  as  can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for 

groceries.     These  charges  cover  all   expenses   except 

washing,  but  each  pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a 

pair  of  blankets  or  two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and 

pillow   cases.     Arrangements   can  be  made  to   board 

from  Monday  till  Friday  of  each  week.    The  Principal 

will  arrange  board  when  notified  by  parents.

same  time  will  be  charged  for  as  is  made  in  school. 

XVIII.     Miscellaneous 

1.  Classes  will  be  formed  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already 
formed. 

2.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal,  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

,  3.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 

4.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when  any 
complaint  is  made. 

5.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the 
Principal  for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as 
while  at  the  school  building.

XIX.     Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly  and  girls  ladylike  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retir- 
ing, except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  pub- 
lic meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Gary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amuse- 
ment sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

8.  Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
chaperonage. 

9  There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  heavy  demeriting  or  suspension.

XX.     Special  Notes 

The  Science  Course  has  been  strengthened  by  the 
addition  of  Botany,  Agriculture  and  Chemistry,  and 
by  the  purchase  of  laboratory  apparatus  for  teaching 
these  subjects. 

The  Science  of  Accounts,  or  Bookkeeping,  will  be 
taught  in  the  first  year  of  the  high  school  in  connec- 
tion with  arithmetic  and  algebra.  One  period  a  week 
will  be  devoted  to  it. 

A  course  in  Domestic  Science  has  been  introduced 
for  next  session  (see  page  13).  The  subject  will  be 
taught  by  Miss  Josephine  Evans,  whose  excellent  work 
in  the  Raleigh  High  School  last  year  attracted  much 
attention.  She  retains  her  position  in  Raleigh,  but 
will  give  Cary  two  lessons  each  week. 

Agriculture  will  be  given  more  attention  than  for- 
merly. The  text-books  by  Burkett,  Stevens  and  Hill 
will  be  retained  in  the  seventh  grade,  and  Soule  and 
Turpin's  Fundamental  Principles  of  Agriculture  will 
be  used  in  the  Junior  year  of  the  High  School  along 
with  Botany. 

The  school  will  have  a  faculty  of  nine  teachers  next 
session  with  college  training  and  successful  experi- 
ences in  teaching.  With  this  strong  teaching  force, 
and  with  the  added  equipments  noted  elsewhere  in  this 
catalogue,  the  school,  we  think,  offers  exceptional  ad- 
vantages to  boarding  pupils. 

During  the  summer  a  cottage  will  be  built  on  the 
school  campus  for  the  matron  of  the  boys'  dormitory. 
The  boys  will  take  their  meals  there,  retaining  their 
rooms  in  the  dormitory.  The  old  dining-room  and 
kitchen  will  be  used  for  the  Science  Department  and 
for  the  class  in  Domestic  Science. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH   SCHOOL.  23 

The  school  sends  out  each  year  from  fifteen  to 
twenty  graduates.  These  do  not  all  come  from  Wake 
County.  The  school's  patronage  for  the  last  two  years 
has  extended  over  more  than  a  score  of  counties  in 
North  Carolina  and  South  Carolina. 

Every  pupil  in  school  is  required  to  take  spelling. 
The  neglect  of  spelling  in  the  high  school  accounts,  in 
a  large  measure,  for  the  wail  that  every  year  goes  up 
from  the  colleges  over  the  woful  condition  of  the 
spelling  of  college  students.  Every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  is  also  required  to  join  one  of  the  three  classes 
in  Current  Events.  These  classes  take  one  of  the 
spelling  periods  each  week,  and  the  time  is  devoted  to 
the  discussion  of  passing  events.  Current  Events, 
a  weekly  non-partisan  paper,  published  at  Springfield, 
Mass.,  at  20  cents  a  year  or  10  cents  a  half  year  in 
clubs,  is  used.  This  little  paper  has  a  larger  circula- 
tion than  any  other  school  paper  in  the  world  and 
ought  to  be  used  by  every  teacher  and  read  by  every 
boy  and  girl  in  America. 

The  situation  of  Cary  High  School — right  in  the 
educational  as  well  as  the  geographical  center  of  the 
State  and  almost  in  the  suburbs  of  the  State  capital — 
is  a  greater  advantage  than  is  commonly  supposed. 
Within  a  radius  of  thirty  miles  from  Cary  are  located 
the  A.  and  M.  College,  Wake  Forest,  Trinity,  the  State 
University,  Meredith  College,  St.  Mary's,  Peace  Insti- 
tute, and  the  Durham  Conservatory  of  Music.  These 
institutions  have  put  us  under  obligation  to  them  in 
many  ways,  as  in  sending  us  speakers  from  time  to 
time  and  permitting  us  to  consult  their  well-equipped 
libraries.  The  State  capital  affords  an  opportunity  of 
seeing  the  State's  public  buildings,  the  State  Fair,  the 
Legislature  in  session,  etc.

CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL 


V.  Foreword 

1.  A  Look  The  Cary  High  School  is  not  a  new  enter- 
Backward  prise,  but  has  an  honorable  history  ex- 
tending over  more  than  a  dozen  years. 
Under  the  guiding  hand  of  Prof.  E.  L.  Middleton,  its 
head  for  a  decade  or  more,  the  school  came  to  occupy 
a  foremost  place  among  the  private  preparatory  schools 
of  the  State.  When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907 
enacted  a  law  providing  for  a  system  of  public  high 
schools  for  North  Carolina,  the  Cary  High  School  was 
converted  into  the  Cary  Public  High  School,  which 
enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  high  school 
established  under  the  new  law.  As  such,  it  has  now 
been  in  operation  for  four  years  and  has  steadily 
grown  in  patronage  and  efficiency. 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent  ad- 
^an  mit  those  who  have  completed  the  course 
hunter  0^  s^u^j  for  public  high  schools  issued 
from  his  office.  The  first  seven  grades  in  this  cata- 
logue cover  this  course.  Applicants  must  stand  exam- 
inations on  entering,  or  bring  certificate  from  last 
teacher  saying  the  course  has  been  satisfactorily  com- 
pleted. 

All  public-school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and 
students  over  twenty-one  years  of  age,  who  pledge  to 
teach  are  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one 
years  of  age  must  pay  tuition. 


6  CABY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

3.  Outside  The  County  Board  of  Education  allows 
Patronage     the   school   Committee   to   receive  pupils 

from  territory  outside  of  Wake  County. 
This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.  These 
pupils  receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the 
school  under  private  management. 

It  is  important  to  begin  at  the  opening, 
•  Wnen  to  just  as  important  as  to  begin  a  crop  on 

time.  The  pupil  who  starts  a  few  weeks 
late  is  often  handicapped  in  his  work  for  the  whole 
term.  Begin  at  the  first  and  plan  for  the  entire  school 
year. 

VI.  The  Faculty 

The  school  committee  exercises  great  care  in  the 
selection  of  teachers.  The  Principal  has  had  fifteen 
years'  experience  at  the  head  of  a  boarding  school, 
three  years  at  Cary,  and  twelve  years  as  principal  of 
Wingate  High  School. 

Mr.  Bivens  has  been  known  to  the  Principal  from 
childhood.  He  is  a  young  man  of  clean  life,  studious 
in  disposition,  pleasing  in  manners  and  well  equipped 
from  the  standpoint  of  scholarship  for  the  position 
which  he  fills.  He  is  an  honor-graduate  of  Trinity 
College.  He  has  taught  with  us  the  last  two  sessions 
with  great  satisfaction  to  pupils  and  patrons. 

Misses  Pasmore  and  Ellis  are  known  to  our  people, 
having  taught  in  the  school  for  several  years,  and  be- 
cause of  their  experience  and  ability  were  re-elected 
for  another  year. 

Misses  Yates  and  Yarborough  did  satisfactory  work 
in  their  departments  last  year,  and  have  been  re- 
elected. 

Mrs.  Blalock  is  a  graduate  from  Meredith  College 
in  both  music  and  elocution,  and  has  had  two  years 
of  successful  experience  in  teaching  music.

Miss  Carpenter,  the  Science  teacher,  is  a  graduate 
of  the  Normal  and  Industrial  College  and  conies  highly

VII.    Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want 

Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us  in 
1.  Patrons     our  w01.^      Those  who  have  the  courage 
to  see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatis- 
faction rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  in- 
stitution. 
ys         Of  good  habits  who  want  an  education 
and  are  willing  to  work  for  it.     Boys  who  see  the 
great  possibilities  lying  before  men  of  the  rising  gen- 
eration. 
s  Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 

hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in  woman's  sphere 
and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  themselves  for  the 
noble  callings  now  open  to  women. 

Vffl.    What  We  Do 

1.  For  the  Only  teachers  of  recognized  Christian 
Heart  character  are  employed.  In  no  case  is 
any  influence  allowed  which  might  draw 
a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moorings.  As  far  as 
possible,  the  wholesome  influence  of  a  Christian  home 
is  thrown  around  our  students.  While  character  is 
being  formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are  being  made, 
the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a  most  wonder- 
ful field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer  meeting. 
It  is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 
been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regu- 
lar church  prayer  meetings  at  the  churches.  The 
school  is  opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exer- 
cises. 


8  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Cary  has  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  attend 
the  services  of  these  churches  and  Sunday-school  regu- 
larly. 

2.  tor  the     It  ig  our  plan  to  cuitivate  our  students 

Hand  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 
ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  classroom  and 
in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end,  we  have 
baseball  grounds  and  tennis  courts,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exercise.  A  few 
match  games  are  allowed,  but  our  team  has  never  been 
allowed  to  be  away  except  to  return  the  same  day, 
and  unless  accompanied  by  one  of  the  teachers  or 
some  other  responsible  person. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 

3.  *or  the    view :  to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  educate 
a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him ;  draw  out 
his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  heterogeneous 
mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to  do  as 
much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials 
in  education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and 
those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for 
the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college. 
Frequent  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling, 
reading  and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are 
trained  in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent 
exercises  in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  ac- 
quired a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  princi- 
ples of  grammar,  the  critical  study  of  English  classics 
is  emphasized.

LX.    What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have 

1.  Location  The  location  is  both  healthful  and  beauti- 
ful. The  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town 
of  Cary  is  hardly  excelled  anywhere.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the 
youth  that  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad 
facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the 
junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  railways,  eight 
miles  west  of  Raleigh. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  regions 
and  has  excellent  water.    Few  towns  can 
show  a  better  health  record. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
ngs  and  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor,  there 
are  seven  large  and  well-lighted  classrooms,  four  of 
which  may  be  easily  converted  into  an  auditorium. 
Besides  these,  there  are  rooms  for  library,  office, 
kitchen,  and  four  music-rooms.  On  the  second  floor 
are  dormitories  for  thirty-four  boys,  and  two  literary 
society  halls.  On  the  northeast  corner  of  the  campus 
is  the  Matron's  Home,  where  the  boys  get  their  meals. 
The  entire  building  is  furnished  with  suit- 
quip"  able  furniture  and  equipment.  The  class- 
ment  rooms  have  folding  desks,  charts  and 
maps.  The  music-rooms  are  furnished  with  four 
pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  com- 
fortable furniture.  The  kitchen  is  provided  with  a 
complete  outfit  of  modern  cooking  utensils,  and  is  the 
most  attractive  room  in  the  building.  The  science- 
room  is  furnished  with  a  complete  outfit  of  laboratory 
apparatus  for  teaching  physics,  chemistry,  botany,  etc. 
The  literary  societies  have  beautifully  furnished  halls, 
and  these  are  the  pride  of  the  school.

X.    General  Culture 

1.  Literary    The  Clay  and  Calhoun  societies  for  young 
Societies    men,  and  the  Browning  Society  for  girls, 

meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 
composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  The  good  to  be  derived 
from  this  work  cannot  be  overestimated.  It  gives  a 
knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates  a 
fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  express- 
ing in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by 
many  people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and 
things,  and  as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior. 

A  library  of  about  six  hundred  volumes 
Library  hag  been  collected,  to  which  additions  are 
constantly  being  made.  We  have  many  volumes  of 
biography,  history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose 
and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tenny- 
son, Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and 
others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  daily  papers  and  the 
magazines. 

XL    What  Our  Pupils  Do 

We  have  two  general  ends  in  view :  one  to  prepare 
boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
page  12)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which  bear 
most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those  con- 
templating a  profession,  the  Classical  Course  may  be 
chosen ;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricultural 
life,  the  Scientific  Course  doubtless  is  to  be  preferred ; 
while  for  those  having  in  view  a  business  career,  the 
English  Course  is  perhaps  the  best.

XII.    Record  of  Work 

1.  Examina-  We  require,  at  the  end  of  each  quarter, 

tions  written  examinations  of  all  pupils  on 
studies  gone  over  during  the  quarter. 
These  examinations  are  preceded  by  a  thorough  review 
of  the  quarter's  work.  A  record  is  kept  of  work  on 
recitations,  and  an  average  mark  is  secured  from 
these  two  sources.  These  examinations  must  be  stood 
or  the  pupil  take  zero  in  making  our  averages. 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  quar- 

2.  Reports  tei.  yvTe  keep  all  parents  informed  re- 
garding the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance  of 
their  children,  and  we  ask  for  their  co-operation. 

Our  standards  will  be  kept  high.     Pupils 

5.  rromo-     ^Q  pass  from  one  year  or  grade  to  the 

tions       next   must   average   eighty   per   cent   on 

their  respective  studies,  and  all  examinations  must  be 

passed. 

4.  Honors     At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 

is  posted.  To  be  entitled  to  a  place  on  this,  a  pupil 
must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholarship,  95  on 
attendance,  and  95  on  deportment. 

To  be  entitled  to  honorable  mention  a  pupil  must 
make  the  above  marks  on  scholarship  and  deportment. 

A  gold  medal  is  given  by  the  Principal  to  the  pupil 
in  the  high  school  making  the  highest  scholarship  dur- 
ing the  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must  be 
present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year,  and 
must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 

The  literary  societies  give  medals  for  excellence  in 
debate,  declamation  and  recitation. 

In  the  course  of  study  there  are  six  de- 

5.  Gradua-    pai.tments .   Latin,   English,   Mathematics, 

tion  History,  Science,  and  French.  To  receive 
a  certificate  of  graduation,  a  pupil  must  have  com- 
pleted one  of  the  following  courses : 


12  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

(1)  Classical. — Required:  Latin,  English,  Mathe- 
matics. Elective:  History  or  Science  (through  the 
Sophomore  year)    or  French. 

(2)  Scientific. — Required:  Science.  Mathematics, 
English  (through  the  Junior  year).  Elective:  Latin 
(through  the  Sophomore  year)  or  History  (through 
the  Junior  year). 

(3)  English. — Required:  English,  History,  Science 
(through  the  Junior  year).  Elective:  Mathematics 
(through  the  Junior  year)  or  Latin  (through  the 
Sophomore  year). 

Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be  made 
up  during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and 
deficits  during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly. 
All  deficits  below  75  must  be  made  up  by  special  ex- 
amination and  cannot  be  redeemed  by  good  marks  in 
another  quarter.  Deportment  must  average  85,  and 
any  pupil  receiving  below  75  during  any  quarter  will 
be  barred  from   Senior  Class. 

XIII.    Special  Departments 

1.  Music  Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  neces- 
sity to  a  civilized  people.  It  is  the  most 
extensively  cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreci- 
ated of  all  the  fine  arts.  A  thorough  course  in  music 
will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training  mental 
and  heart  training  also.  Many  now  study  music  who 
never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that 
comes  from  such  a  course  of  study. 

.      Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere 

pastime  study.     The  eyes  of  the  people 

have  been   opened  to   see  not  only   the   beauty   and 

grandeur,   but   the  practical   importance  of   true  ex- 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

pression.  And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the 
inelegant  speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from 
the  held  to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both 

brain  and  body. 
5.  Domestic  j)omestic  Science,  or  the  science  of  cook- 
Science  jug  j^g  j,een  taught  in  a  few  of  our  city 
high  schools  for  several  years,  but  so  far  has  not  been 
taught  in  the  rural  village  high  schools  to  any  ap- 
preciable extent  because  of  the  limited  income  and 
the  inability  to  secure  adequately  trained  teachers. 
The  subject  is  now  forcing  itself  upon  the  attention 
of  our  educational  leaders  and  will  soon  receive  the 
same  emphasis  as  agriculture  in  our  rural  high 
schools.  The  services  of  a  thoroughly  trained  teacher 
has  been  secured  for  this  department  next  year. 

Heretofore  these  special  departments  have  not 
counted  toward  graduation,  but  beginning  with  next 
session,  pupils  completing  a  prescribed  course  in  Music 
may  substitute  it  for  any  elective  mentioned  in  this 
catalogue,  while  a  year  of  satisfactory  work  in  Elo- 
cution or  Domestic  Science  may  take  the  place  of  a 
year  of  any  elective.

XVII.    Board 

1.  Boys'  The  dormitories  are  furnished  with  bed- 
Dormi-  stead,  mattress  with  springs,  chairs,  table, 
tory  lamp,  etc.    All  boys  rooming  in  dormitory 

must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow  and  toilet 
articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush,  soap,  matches,  etc. 
The  room  rent  is  $1.50  a  month,  which  includes  fuel, 
lights,  etc.  The  cost  of  table  board  is  $9  per  month, 
or  $6  from  Monday  to  Friday.  Room  rent  from  Mon- 
day to  Friday  is  $1  per  month. 

Night  latches  have  been  placed  upon  all  the  doors, 
and  each  pupil  is  required  to  deposit  25  cents  for  his 
key,  which  sum  will  be  returned  when  the  key  is  de- 
livered up. 

Pupils  in  these  dormitories  are  allowed  to  remain 
in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right,  however,  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory 
to  the  schoolrooms  for  indolence  or  disorder.  One  of 
the  teachers  has  a  room  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order  at  night. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by 
owning  Mrs.  Lynn,  who  for  several  years  has 
successfully  managed  private  boarding 
houses  for  girls.  The  building  is  neatly  and  comfort- 
ably furnished.  The  girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat, 
and  be  quiet  and  studious  in  their  rooms  during  study 
hours.  The  girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding, 
pillow  and  necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap, 
matches,  comb  and  brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  is  $10  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7  per  month,  or 


20  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $7.50.     These  rates 
include  room,  fuel,  lights,  etc. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughter's 
every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.  One  of 
the  lady  assistants,  Mrs.  Blalock,  will  room  in  the 
dormitory  and  have  charge  of  the  girls. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satisfac- 

"rivate      ^ory  arrangeiuents  can  be  made  for  board 

famines  w^jj  priVate  families.  Boys  and  girls 
must  have  different  boarding  places.  Our  charges  are 
as  low  as  can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for 
groceries.  These  charges  cover  all  expenses  except 
washing,  but  each  pupil  will  be  required  to  furnish  a 
pair  of  blankets  or  two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and 
pillow  cases.  Arrangements  can  be  made  to  board 
from  Monday  till  Friday  of  each  week.  The  Principal 
will  arrange  board  when  notified  by  parents. 

Board  in  private  families $10.50 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday 7.50 

Board  is  payable  at  end  of  each  month,  with  no  de-

formed. 

2.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.  Local  pupils  must  remain  in 
school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal,  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

3.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 
When  they  need  recreation  they  must  seek  it  in  other 
ways. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  21 

4.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal 
when  a  favor  is  to  be  asked,  for  their  children,  or  when 
any  complaint  is  made. 

5.  All  boarding  pupils  before  leaving  Cary  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the 
Principal  for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as 
while  at  the  school  building.

XIX.    Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly,  and  girls  ladylike,  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retir- 
ing, except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  pub- 
lic meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amuse- 
ment sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 


22  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

8.  Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
ehaperonage. 

9.  There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  heavy  demeriting  or  suspension. 

XX.    Special  Notes 

The  school  is  now  offering  three  years  in  Science — 
a  half  year  each  in  Physiology,  Physical  Geography, 
Botany,  Agriculture,  Physics,  and  Chemistry. 

Beginning  with  next  session,  the  course  in  Mathe- 
matics will  include  Solid  Geometry  as  well  as  Plane. 

The  school  now  owns  about  $400  worth  of  apparatus 
for  teaching  Science,  and  Domestic  Science. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  with  Miss  Annie 
Whitmore,  of  Durham,  to  teach  Vocal  Music.  She  is 
a  graduate  of  the  Durham  Conservatory  of  Music  in 
both  voice  and  instrumental  music. 

A  teacher  has  been  employed  to  give  her  whole  time 
to  Domestic  Science  and  the -other  high  school  sciences. 

Mrs.  Sarah  Blalock  will  have  charge  of  the  girls  at 
Browning  Hall,  and  the  rules  of  the  school  will  be 
strictly  enforced. 

Next  session,  more  attention  will  be  given  to  track 
athletics  than  formerly.  A  good  beginning  was  made 
last  spring. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  23 

Pupils  in  the  dormitories  will  be  held  responsible 
for  all  damage  to  school  property  in  their  rooms. 

The  following  changes  have  been  made  in  textbooks 
for  next  session :  West's  Ancient  History,  and  West's 
Modern  History  in  place  of  Myers'  General  History ; 
Millikan  and  Gale's  First  Course  in  Physics  in  place 
of  Higgins'  Lessons  in  Physics ;  Halleck's  History  of 
English  Literature  instead  of  Moody  and  Lovett's 
First  Review  of  English  Literature ;  Wells'  Plane  and 
Solid  Geometry  instead  of  Wells'  Plane  Geometry. 
The  new  books  added  are  Sykes'  Elementary  English 
Composition,  in  the  seventh  and  eighth  grades ;  How- 
ell's Primer,  in  the  first  grade ;  With  Pencil  and  Pen, 
in  third  grade ;  Fifty  Famous  Stories  Retold,  in  second 
grade.  Montgomery's  English  History  has  been  trans- 
ferred from  the  eighth  grade  to  the  tenth,  while  West's 
Ancient  History  has  been  put  in  the  eighth,  and  West's 
Modern  History  in  the  ninth.  Two  years  will  be 
given  to  Colaw  and  Duke's  Intermediate  Arithmetic 
instead  of  one.  Colaw  and  Ellwood's  Advanced  Arith- 
metic will  be  taken  up  in  the  seventh  grade  instead  of 
the  sixth,  and  completed  in  the  ninth. 

The  school  is  exceedingly  fortunate  in  being  able  to 
retain  the  services  of  Mrs.  W.  T.  Lynn  and  Mrs.  S.  S. 
Wood  as  matrons  of  the  two  dormitories  for  next 
session.     They  have  given  entire  satisfaction. 

The  school  will  have  a  faculty  of  nine  teachers  next 
session  with  college  training  and  successful  experi- 
ences in  teaching.  With  this  strong  teaching  force, 
and  with  the  added  equipments  noted  elsewhere  in 
this  catalogue,  the  school,  we  think,  offers  exceptional 
advantages  to  boarding  pupils. 

Last  session  118  high  school  pupils  were  enrolled. 
There  were  90  boarders  from  fourteen  counties  in 
North  Carolina  and  South  Carolina.     The  Graduating 


24  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  8CH00L. 

Class  numbered  eighteen,  of  whom  nine  were  boys  and 
nine  girls.  Nearly  all  of  these  will  enter  college  this 
fall. 

If  our  friends  into  whose  hands  this  catalogue  falls 
will  send  us  the  names  and  addresses  of  any  boys  and 
girls  who  contemplate  entering  a  high  school  soon,  or 
of  parents  who  might  be  induced  to  patronize  Cary 
High  School,  the  kindness  will  be  appreciated. 

Every  pupil  in  school,  of  whatever  grade,  is  re- 
quired to  take  spelling,  and  every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  must  join  one  of  the  four  classes  in  Current 
Events. 

The  situation  of  Cary  High  School — right  in  the 
educational  as  well  as  the  geographical  center  of  the 
State  and  almost  in  the  suburbs  of  the  State  Capital — 
is  a  greater  advantage  than  is  commonly  supposed. 
Within  a  radius  of  thirty  miles  from  Cary  are  located 
the  A.  and  M.  College,  Wake  Forest,  Trinity,  the  State 
University,  Meredith  College,  St.  Mary's,  Peace  Insti- 
tute, and  the  Durham  Conservatory  of  Music.  These 
institutions  have  put  us  under  obligation  to  them  in 
many  ways,  as  in  sending  us  speakers  from  time  to 
time  and  permitting  us  to  consult  their  well-equipped 
libraries.  The  State  Capital  affords  an  opportunity  of 
seeing  the  State's  public  buildings,  the  State  Fair,  the 
Legislature  in  session,  etc.

CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL 


V.  Foreword 

1.  A  Look  The  Gary  High  School  is  not  a  new  enter- 
Backward  prise,  but  has  an  honorable  history  ex- 
tending over  more  than  a  dozen  years. 
Under  the  guiding  hand  of  Prof.  E.  L.  Middleton,  its 
head  for  a  decade  or  more,  the  school  came  to  occupy 
a  foremost  place  among  the  pirvate  preparatory  schools 
of  the  State.  When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907 
enacted  a  law  providing  for  a  system  of  public  high 
schools  for  North  Carolina,  the  Gary  High  School  was 
converted  into  the  Cary  Public  High  School,  which 
enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  high  school 
established  under  that  law.  As  such,  it  has  now  been 
in  operation  for  five  years,  and  has  steadily  grown  in 
patronage  and  efficiency. 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent 
admit  free  from  tuition  those  who  have 
completed  the  course  of  study  for  public 
high  schools  issued  from  his  office.  The  first  seven 
grades  in  this  catalogue  cover  this  course.  Applicants 
must  stand  examinations  on  entering,  or  bring  certifi- 
cate from  last  teacher  saying  the  course  has  been  sat- 
isfactorily completed. 

All  public-school  teachers  of  whatever  age,  and  stu- 
dents over  twenty-one  years  of  age,  who  pledge  to 
teach  are  entitled  to  tuition.  Others  over  twenty-one 
years  of  age  must  pay  tuition. 


6  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

3.  Outside  The  County  Board  of  Education  allows 
Patronage  the  School  Committee  to  receive  pupils 
from  territory  outside  of  Wake  County. 
This  is  allowed  in  all  public  high  schools.  These 
pupils  receive  every  advantage  formerly  given  by  the 
school  under  private  management. 

It  is  important  to  begin  at  the  opening, 

■    "nen  to  just  as  important  as  to  begin  a  crop  on 

r        time.    The  pupil  who  starts  a  few  weeks 

late  is  often  handicapped  in  his  work  for  the  whole 

term.    Begin  at  the  first  and  plan  for  the  entire  school 

year. 

VI.  The  Faculty 

The  School  Committee  exercises  great  care  in  the 
selection  of  teachers.  The  Principal  has  had  sixteen 
years'  experience  at  the  head  of  a  boarding  school — 
four  years  at  Cary  and  twelve  years  as  principal  of 
Wingate  High  School. 

Mr.  Bivens  has  been  known  to  the  Principal  from 
childhood.  He  is  a  young  man  of  clean  life,  studious 
in  disposition,  pleasing  in  manners  and  well  equipped 
from  the  standpoint  of  scholarship  for  the  position 
which  he  fills.  He  is  an  honor-graduate  of  Trinity 
College.  He  has  taught  with  us  the  last  three  sessions 
with  great  satisfaction  to  pupils  and  patrons. 

Misses  Pasmore  and  Ellis  are  known  to  our  people, 
having  taught  in  the  school  for  several  years,  and  be- 
cause of  their  experience  and  ability  are  re-elected  for 
another  year. 

Misses  Yates  and  Yarborough,  having  done  satisfac- 
tory work  in  their  departments  the  last  two  years, 
have  been  re-elected. 

Mrs.  Blalock  gave  such  general  satisfaction  last  ses- 
sion, not  only  as  a  teacher  of  music  and  elocution,  but 
as  manager  of  the  girls'  dormitory,  that  she  was  re- 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  7 

elected  long  before  the  close  of  the  session,  at  the  ear- 
nest request  of  patrons.  She  is  a  graduate  from 
Meredith  College  in  both  music  and  elocution. 

VII.    Some  Ideals  of  What  We  Want 

1.  Patrons      Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us  in 
our  work.     Those  who  have  the  courage 
to  see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatis- 
faction rather  than  backbite  and  malign  a  worthy  in- 
stitution. 
ys  Of  good  habits  who  want  an  education 

and  are  willing  to  work  for  it.     Boys  who  see  the 
great  possibilities  lying  before  men  of  the  rising  gen- 
eration. 
s  Who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  woman- 

hood. Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in  woman's  sphere 
and  work  faithfully  to  prepare  themselves  for  the 
noble  callings  now  open  to  women. 

Vffl.    What  We  Do 

Only  teachers  of  recognized  Christian 
or  character  are  employed.     In  no  case  is 

Heart  any  influence  allowed  which  might  draw 

a  pupil  away  from  his  church  moorings.  As  far  as 
possible,  the  wholesome  influence  of  a  Christian  home 
is  thrown  around  our  students.  While  character  is 
being  formed,  and  impressions  for  life  are  being  made, 
the  Christian  teacher  has  open  to  him  a  most  wonder- 
ful field  of  usefulness. 

The  young  men  hold  every  week  a  prayer  meeting. 
It  is  well  attended,  and  useful  Christian  workers  have 
been  developed.  Nearly  all  students  attend  the  regu- 
lar church  prayer  meetings  at  the  churches.  The 
school  is  opened  every  morning  with  devotional  exer- 
cises. 


8  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Cary  lias  a  Methodist  and  a  Baptist  church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  expected  to  attend 
the   services   of   these  churches   and   Sunday   schools 

regularly. 
I.  vox  the  jf.  jg  our  p]an  f0  cultivate  our  students 
Hand  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 
ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  classroom  and 
in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end,  we  have 
baseball  grounds  and  tennis  courts,  and  students  are 
encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exercise.  A  few 
match  games  are  allowed,  but  our  team  is  never 
allowed  to  be  away  except  to  return  the  same  day, 
and  unless  accompanied  by  one  of  the  teachers  or 
some  other  responsible  person. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 
'       r  view:    to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of 

what  they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do, 
and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  edu- 
cate a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him ;  draw 
out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a  heteroge- 
neous mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  encouraged  to 
do  as  much  original  thinking  as  possible.  In  addition 
to  mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essen- 
tials in  education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement, 
and  those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women 
for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  in  laying  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college. 
Frequent  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling, 
reading  and  writing.  In  English  Grammar,  pupils  are 
trained  in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by  frequent 
exercises  in  written  work.  When  the  pupil  has  ac- 
quired a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  technical  princi- 
ples of  grammar,  the  critical  study  of  English  classics 
is  emphasized.

K.    What  We  are  and  What  We  Have 

The  location  is  both  healthful  and  beauti- 
1.  Location  fuL  r^  moral  atmosphere  of  the  town 
of  Gary  is  hardly  excelled  anywhere.  The  society  in 
the  town  will  be  elevating  and  stimulating  to  the 
youth  that  attend  the  institution.  No  better  railroad 
facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the 
junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern  railways,  eight 
miles  west  of  Raleigh. 

Cary  is  far  removed  from  malarial  re- 

gions  and  has  excellent  water.  Few 
towns  can  show  a  better  health  record. 

In  a  most  attractive  part  of  the  town, 
5.  Buildings  an(j  sUrr0unclecl  by  a  beautiful  campus  of 
oaks,  is  our  school  building.  On  the  first  floor  there 
are  seven  large  classrooms,  four  of  which  may  be 
easily  converted  into  an  auditorium.  Besides  these, 
there  are  rooms  for  library,  office,  kitchen,  and  four 
music  rooms.  On  the  second  floor  are  dormitories  for 
thirty-four  boys,  and  two  literary  society  halls.  On 
the  northeast  corner  of  the  campus  is  the  Matron's 
Home,  where  the  boys  get  their  meals. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with 
J^quip-  suitable  furniture  and  equipment.  The 
1116  classrooms    have    folding    desks,    charts 

and  maps.  The  music  rooms  are  furnished  with  four 
pianos,  and  the  dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  com- 
fortable furniture.  The  kitchen  is  provided  with  a 
complete  outfit  of  modern  cooking  utensils,  and  is  the 
most  attractive  room  in  the  building.  The  science 
room  is  furnished  with  a  complete  outfit  of  laboratory 
apparatus  for  teaching  physics,  chemistry,  botany,  etc. 
The  literary  societies  have  beautifully  furnished  halls, 
and  these  are  the  pride  of  the  school. 


10  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

X.    General  Culture 

1.  Literary     The  Clay  and  Calhoun  societies  for  young 
Societies     men,  and  the  Browning  Society  for  girls, 

meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 
composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  required 
to  take  part  in  the  exercises.  The  good  to  be  derived 
from  this  work  cannot  be  overestimated.  It  gives  a 
knowledge  of  parliamentary  law  and  stimulates  a 
fondness  for  reading.  It  gives  the  power  of  express- 
ing in  public  one's  thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by 
many  people.  It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and 
things,  and  as  an  educator  it  has  no  superior. 

A  library  of  about  six  hundred  volumes 
library  ^as  been  collected,  to  which  additions  are 
constantly  being  made.  We  have  many  volumes  of 
biography,  history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose 
and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Tenny- 
son, Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and 
others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  daily  papers  and  the 
magazines. 

XL    What  Our  Pupils  Do 

We  have  two  general  ends  in  view :  one  to  prepare 
boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
page  12)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which  bear 
most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those  con- 
templating a  profession,  the  Classical  Course  may  be 
chosen ;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricultural 
life,  the  Scientific  Course  doubtless  is  to  be  preferred ; 
while  for  those  having  in  view  a  business  career  the 
English  Course  is  perhaps  the  best.

XII.    Record  of  Work 

1.  Examina-  We  require,  at  the  end  of  each  quarter, 
tions  written  examinations  of  all  pupils  on 
studies  gone  over  during  the  quarter. 
These  examinations  are  preceded  by  a  thorough  review 
of  the  quarter's  work.  Written  tests  are  also  given 
every  two  or  three  weeks,  and  pupils  who  average  90 
on  these  are  excused  from  the  regular  examinations. 

We  send  reports  at  the  end  of  each  quar- 
po  ter.     We  keep  all  parents  informed  re- 

garding the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance  of 
their  children,  and  we  ask  for  their  co-operation. 

Our  standards  will  be  kept  high.    Pupils 

"romo-      tQ  pagg  from  one  year  or  grade  to  the 

tions        next  must  average   eighty  per   cent   on 

their  respective  studies,  and  all  examinations  must  be 

passed. 
4.  Honors      At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll 

is  posted.  To  be  entitled  to  a  place  on  this,  a  pupil 
must  make  an  average  of  92.5  on  scholarship,  95  on 
attendance,  and  95  on  deportment. 

To  be  entitled  to  honorable  mention,  a  pupil  must 
make  the  above  marks  on  scholarship  and  deportment. 

A  gold  medal  is  given  by  the  Principal  to  the  pupil 
in  the  high  school  making  the  highest  scholarship  dur- 
ing the  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must  be 
present  to  receive_  all  the  reports  of  the  year,  and 
must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter.  For 
next  session  a  medal  will  be  awarded  to  the  best 
performer  in  music,  and  one  will  be  given  by  the 
music  teacher  for  the  best  work  done  in  music  during 
the  year. 

The  literary  societies  give  medals  for  excellence  in 
debate,  declamation,  and  recitation.

5.  Gradua-     In  the  course  of  study  there  are  six  de- 
tion         partnients  :    Latin,  English,  Mathematics, 
History,  Science,  and  French.    To  receive 
a  certificate  of  graduation,  a  pupil  must  have  com- 
pleted one  of  the  following  courses :

matics. Elective:  History  or  Science  (through  the 
Sophomore  year)  or  French. 

(2)  Scientific. — Required:  Science,  Mathematics, 
English  (through  the  Junior  year).  Elective:  Latin 
(through  the  Sophomore  year)  or  History  (through 
the  Junior  year). 

(3)  English. — Required:  English,  History,  Science 
(through  the  Sophomore  year).  Elective:  Mathe- 
matics (through  the  Junior  year)  or  Latin  (through 
the  Sophomore  year). 

Each  of  these  courses  requires  the  completion  of 
Arithmetic. 

Deficits  on  work  of  the  Junior  year  must  be  made 
up  during  the  first  quarter  of  the  Senior  year,  and 
deficits  during  Senior  year  must  be  made  up  promptly. 
All  deficits  below  75  must  be  made  up  by  special  ex- 
amination and  cannot  be  redeemed  by  good  marks  in 
another  quarter.  Deportment  must  average  85,  and 
any  pupil  receiving  below  75  during  any  quarter  will 
be  barred  from  Senior  Class. 

XIII.    Special  Departments 

1.  Music  Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  neces- 
sity to  a  civilized  people.  It  is  the  most 
extensively  cultivated  and  the  most  generally  appreci- 
ated of  all  the  fine  arts.  A  thorough  course  in  music 
will  certainly  carry  with  its  manual  training  mental 
and  heart  training  also.     Many  now  study  music  who 


GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

never  expect  to  teach  or  become  performers,  because 
of  the  enlarged  capacity  to  enjoy  good  music  that 
comes  from  such  a  course  of  study. 

Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere 
2.  Elocution  pastime  study.  The  eyes  of  the  people 
have  been  opened  to  see  not  only  the  beauty  and 
grandeur,  but  the  practical  importance  of  true  ex- 
pression. And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the 
inelegant  speaker  will  be  compelled  to  withdraw  from 
the  field  to  make  room  for  the  man  who  cultivates  both 
brain  and  body. 

Heretofore  these  special  departments  have  not 
counted  toward  graduation  but,  beginning  with  next 
session,  pupils  completing  a  prescribed  course  in  Music 
may  substitute  it  for  any  elective  mentioned  in  this 
catalogue,  while  a  year  of  satisfactory  work  in  Elo- 
cution may  take  the  place  of  a  year  of  any  elective.

tracted illness  of  one  week  or  more.  All  pupils  must 
enter  for  a  whole  term  or  the  remainder  of  a  term, 
unless  previous  arrangements  are  made  to  the  con- 
trary. The  entrance  of  a  pupil  will  be  considered  as 
an  acceptance  of  these  terms. 

The  school  is  not  a  private  enterprise.  All  accounts

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their

XVII.    Board 

1.  Boys'         The  dormitories  are  furnished  with  bed- 

Dormi-      stead,     mattress     with     springs,     chairs, 

tory  table,    lamp,    etc.      All   boys   rooming   in 

dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow 

and   toilet   articles,    such   as   comb   and   brush,    soap, 

matches,  etc. 

The  room  rent  is  $1.50  a  month,  which  includes  fuel, 
lights,  etc.  The  cost  of  table  board  is  $9  per  month, 
or  $6  from  Monday  to  Friday.  Room  rent  from  Mon- 
day to  Friday  is  $1  per  month. 

Rooms  are  rented  only  to  those  who  take  their  meals 
at  the  matron's  home. 

Night  latches  have  been  placed  upon  all  the  doors, 
and  each  pupil  is  required  to  deposit  25  cents  for  his 
key,  which  sum  will  be  returned  when  the  key  is  de- 
livered up. 

Pupils  in  these  dormitories  are  allowed  to  remain 
in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right,  however,  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory 
to  the  schoolroom  for  indolence  or  disorder.  One  of 
the  teachers  has  a  room  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order  at  night. 

This"  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by 

Browing    -^jrs     Lynn,   who   for   several   years   has 
successfully    managed    private    boarding 
houses  for  girls.     The  building  is  neatly  and  comfort- 
ably furnished.    The  girls  must  keep  their  rooms  neat. 


20  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

and  be  quiet  and  studious  in  their  rooms  during  study 
hours.  The  girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding, 
pillow  and  necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as  soap, 
matches,  comb  and  brush,  etc. 

The  cost  of  board  here  is  $10  per  school  month. 
Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7  per  month,  or 
from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $7.50.  These  rates 
include  room,  fuel,  lights,  etc. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughters' 
every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.  One  of 
the  lady  assistants,  Mrs.  Blalock,  rooms  in  the  dormi- 
tory and  keeps  order. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satisfac- 
.,  tory  arrangements  can  be  made  for  board 
ami  ies  wj^j1  private  families.  Boys  and  girls 
must  have  different  boarding  places.  Our  charges  are 
as  low  as  can  be  arranged  with  present  prices  for 
groceries.  These  charges  cover  all  expenses  except 
washing,  but  each  pupil  Avill  be  required  to  furnish  a 
pair  of  blankets  or  two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and 
pillow  cases.  Arrangements  can  be  made  to  board 
from  Monday  till  Friday  of  each  week.  The  Principal 
will  arrange  board  when  notified  by  parents.

term,  and  pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already 
formed. 

2.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  cause.     Local  pupils  must  remain  in 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  21 

school  until  regular  time  of  dismissal,  except  for  provi- 
dential reasons. 

3.  Students  are  not  expected  to  idle  away  their  time 
down  town,  around  the  depots  and  places  of  business. 

4.  Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal 
when  a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or  when 
any  complaint  is  made. 

5.  All  boarding  pupils,  before  leaving  Cary,  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for  their 
home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents  to 
the  Principal.  If  parents  of  boys  wish  special  restric- 
tions for  their  sons,  they  should  notify  the  Principal. 

6.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  responsible  to  the 
Principal  for  their  conduct  out  of  school,  as  well  as

XIX.    Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  next  term. 

1.  Boys  must  be  gentlemanly,  and  girls  ladylike,  in 
their  relations  with  teachers,  students  and  landlords. 

2.  After  time  for  study  hour,  all  must  go  to  their 
rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for  retir- 
ing, except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved  pub- 
lic meetings. 

3.  No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission  from 
parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their  homes. 

4.  There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amuse- 
ment sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 


22  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

5.  No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

6.  No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

7.  Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

8.  Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under  proper 
chaperonage. 

9.  There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 

10.  Girls  are  not  allowed  to  have  the  company  of 
young  men  in  walks  or  at  boarding  places. 

11.  All  pupils  must  be  studious  and  orderly  in  school- 
rooms. 

12.  Giving  or  receiving  aid  on  examinations  will  be 
ground  for  beavy  demeriting  or  suspension. 

XX.    Special  Notes 

The  school  is  now  offering  four  years  in  Science — 
a  balf  year  each  in  Physiology,  Physical  Geography, 
Botany,  and  Agriculture,  and  a  year  each  in  Physics 
and  Chemistry. 

Tbe  school  owns  about  $400  worth  of  apparatus  for 
teaching  Science  and  Domestic  Science. 

Owing  to  some  changes  in  our  plans,  we  are  com- 
pelled to  drop  Domestic  Science  for  session  1912-1913. 
The  work  will  be  taken  up  again  session  1913-1914. 

Pupils  in  the  dormitories  will  be  held  responsible 
for  all  damage  to  school  property  in  their  rooms. 

The  school  is  exceedingly  fortunate  in  being  able  to 
retain  the  services  of  Mrs.  W.  T.  Lynn  and  Mrs.  S.  S. 
Wood  as  matrons  of  the  two  dormitories  for  next  ses- 
sion.   They  have  given  entire  satisfaction. 

Last  session  119  high -school  pupils  were  enrolled. 
There   were   80   boarders   from   fourteen   counties   in 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  23 

North  Carolina  and.  South  Carolina.  The  Graduating 
Class  numbered  fourteen.  Nearly  all  of  these  will 
enter  college  this  fall. 

If  our  friends  into  whose  hands  this  catalogue  falls 
will  send  us  the  names  and  addresses  of  any  boys  and 
girls  who  contemplate  entering  a  high  school  soon,  or 
of  parents  who  ■  might  be  induced  to  patronize  Cary 
High  School,  the  kindness  will  be  appreciated. 

Every  pupil  in  school,  of  whatever  grade,  is  re- 
quired to  take  spelling,  and  every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  must  join  one  of  the  four  classes  in  Current 
Events. 

The  situation  of  Cary  High  School — right  in  the 
educational  as  well  as  the  geographical  center  of  the 
State  and  almost  in  the  suburbs  of  the  State  capital — 
is  a  greater  advantage  than  is  commonly  supposed. 
Within  a  radius  of  thirty  miles  from  Cary  are  located 
the  A.  and  M.  College,  Wake  Forest,  Trinity,  the  State 
University,  Meredith  College,  St.  Mary's,  Peace  Insti- 
tute, and  the  Durham  Conservatory  of  Music.  These 
institutions  have  put  us  under  obligation  to  them  in 
many  ways,  as  in  sending  us  speakers  from  time  to 
time,  and  permitting  us  to  consult  their  well-equipped 
libraries.  The  State  capital  affords  an  oportunity  of 
seeing  the  State's  public  buildings,  the  State  Fair,  the 
Legislature  in  session,  etc. 

The  following  pupils  did  not  miss  a  day  from 
school  the  past  session :  Elementary  School — Elsie 
Atkins,  Ben  Beach,  Helen  Dry,  Edgar  Fisher,  Eugenia 
Gray,  Mary  Gray,  Elsie  Jackson,  Katie  Jones,  Rachel

Cary  Public  High  School 


Foreword 

Past  The  Cary  High   School  is  not  a  new 

Record  enterprise,  but  has  an  honorable  his- 

tory. For  nearly  two  decades  it  has 
occupied  a  foremost  place  among  the  secondary  schools 
of  the  State.  Even  before  1896  when  Prof.  E.  L. 
Middleton  took  charge,  the  school  was  doing  a  supe- 
rior class  of  work  under  the  intelligent  guidance  of 
such  teachers  as  A.  H.  Merritt,  Rev.  Solomon  Pool, 
W.  L.  Crocker,  Rev.  Jesse  Page  and  the  Misses  Jones. 
For  twelve  years,  from  1896  to  1908, 

°  the  school  was  under  the  wise  man- 

agement of  Prof.  Middleton.  Under  his  leadership 
the  school  building  grew  from  a  one  or  two-room 
structure  to  a  building  of  sixteen  rooms,  besides  dor- 
mitory rooms,  and  from  a  teaching  force  of  two  or 
three  and  a  small  boarding  patronage  to  eight  teach- 
ers and  more  than  a  hundred  boarding  students. 

When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907  enacted  a  law 
providing  for  a  system  of  public  high  schools  for 
North  Carolina,  the  Cary  High  School  was  converted 
into  the  Cary  Public  High  School,  which  enjoys  the 
distinction  of  being  the  first  high  school  established 
under  that  law.  As  such,  it  has  now  been  in  opera- 
tion for  six  years,  and  has  steadily  grown  in  patron- 
age and  efficiency.

New  The  school  has  recently  entered  upon 

Building  a  career  of  larger  usefulness  by  voting 

a  bond  issue  to  the  amount  of  $25,000 
for  a  new  building.  The  county  will  add  to  this 
$5,000,  making  the  total  amount  available  for  build- 
ings $30,000.  It  is  hoped  to  have  the  building  under 
way  by  the  middle  of  July  and  ready  for  occupancy 
some  time  during  the  fall  term.  (See  page  8  for  a 
fuller  description.) 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent 

admit  free  from  tuition  in  Wake  county 
ter  those  who   have  completed  the  seven 

grades  of  the  elementary  school  as  outlined  on  pages 
12-15  in  this  catalogue.  Applicants  must  bring  cer- 
tificates from  last  teacher  saying  the  course  has  been 
satisfactorily  completed. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age  are  en- 
titled to  free  tuition.  All  other  pupils  over  twenty- 
one  years  of  age  must  pay  tuition.  Pupils  who  are 
unprepared  to  do  the  work  of  the  High  School  are  re- 
quired to  pay  tuition  .in  the  lower  grades.  (For  rates 
of  tuition  see  page  17.)

What  We  Do 

For  the  The   moral    and   religious    welfare   of 

Heart  the  students  is  not  neglected.     Young 

men's  prayer  meetings  are  held  once  a 
week  in  the  school  building  and  most  of  the  pupils 
with  the  teachers  attend  the  weekly  prayer  services 
at  the  churches.  Most  of  the  teachers  teach  in  the 
Sunday  schools  of  the  town,  and  regular  attendance 
on  the  part  of  the  pupils  is  insisted  upon  and  ex- 
pected ;  yet  no  one's  religious  belief  is  questioned  or 
interfered  with  in  any  way. 

The   health   record   for   the   school   is 

tne  most  gratifying.     There  has  not  been  a 

y  death  nor  a  severe  case  of  sickness,  not 

even  a  case  of  typhoid  fever,  among  the  pupils  in  the 

last  five  years. 

The  school  management  believes  in  athletics  both 
for  boys  and  girls  and  encourages  all  healthful  sports 
among  the  pupils.  Baseball  and  track  athletics  for 
boys  and  basketball  and  tennis  for  girls  afford  ex- 
cellent opportunities  for  physical  development.  All 
boarding  girls  are  required  to  take  a  daily  walk. 
Wide  open  windows  and  plenty  of  fresh  air  are  in- 
sisted upon  at  all  times.  No  pupil  who  fails  to  make 
the  pass  mark  on  at  least  four  of  his  studies  is  allow- 
ed to  take  part  in  any  match  game  of  ball  or  other 
form  of  athletics.  This  regulation  last  session  proved 
a  powerful  stimulus  to  study  in  the  case  of  some 
students. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 
or  the  view :  to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant 

of  what  they  see,  judicious  in  what 
they  do,  and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher 
to  educate  a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him ; 
draw  out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in  a 


8  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

heterogeneous  mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  en- 
couraged to  do  as  much  original  thinking  as  possible. 
In  addition  to  mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use 
those  essentials  in  education  tending  to  culture  and 
refinement,  and  those  which  will  prepare  j'oung  men 
and  women  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  to  lay  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college. 
Frequent  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in  spelling, 
reading  and  writing. 

What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have 

Location  The  school  is  only  eight  miles  from  the 

State's  capital  city.  It  is  on  both  the 
Seaboard  and  Southern  railways.  It  is  on  a  principal 
watershed  of  Wake  county,  being  high  above  the 
surrounding  country  and  consequently  free  from 
local  causes  of  sickness.  It  is  in  the  educational  as 
well  as  the  geographical  center  of  the  State,  being  in 
close  touch  with  the  A.  &  M.  College,  Trinity  College, 
the  State  University,  Wake  Forest  College,  Meredith 
College,  Peace  Institute,  St.  Mary's,  none  of  which  is 
more  than  thirty  miles  away.  Representatives  of  the 
faculties  of  these  institutions  as  well  as  the  State 
officials  at  Raleigh,  are  frequently  secured  as  speakers 
during  the  school  session.  The  pupils  also  have  easy 
access  to  the  well-equipped  libraries  of  these  colleges 
as  well  as  to  the  State  Library  at  Raleigh. 

The  new  school  building  for  which  the 
Buildings  contract  has  been  let,  will  be  erected 

on  the  site  of  the  old  building  and  will  be  a  model 
of  its  kind  containing  all  the  advantages  and  con- 
veniences of  the  most  up-to-date  city  high  school. 
There  will   be   rooms   in   the   basement   for   heating 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

plant,  toilets,  society  halls,  domestic  science,  physical 
and  chemical  laboratories,  manual  training,  gymna- 
sium, etc.  On  the  first  floor  there  will  be  six  large 
class  rooms,  library,  principal's  office  and  teachers' 
room.  The  second  floor  will  contain  besides  six  reci- 
tation rooms  and  six  music  rooms,  a  large  auditorium 
with  study-hall  combined.  The  auditorium,  study- 
hall  and  gallery  will  seat  about  800.  A  distinctive 
feature  of  tbe  building  will  be  the  study-hall.  It  will 
be  seated  with  tablet-arm  chairs,  lockers  being  provid- 
ed on  the  sides  of  the  room  for  books,  tablets,  etc.  It 
will  be  well  lighted  and  ventilated  and  will  accommo- 
date about  200  pupils.  The  primary  grades  will  oc- 
cupy spacious  and  well-lighted  rooms  on  the  first 
floor. 

The  boys'  dormitory  will  be  enlarged  so  as  to  ac- 
comodate about  60  boys.  The  building  will  be  reno- 
vated throughout.  The  girls'  dormitory  will  also  be 
enlarged  so  as  to  provide  for  not  less  than  60  girls. 

General  Culture 

Literary  The    Clay    and    Calhoun    societies    for 

Societies  young  men,  and  the  Irving  and  Low- 

ell societies  for  girls,  meet  once  a  week 
for  exercises  in  debate,  composition  and  elocution. 
All  members  are  required  to  take  part  in  the  exer- 
cises. The  good  to  be  derived  from  this  work  cannot 
be  overestimated.  It  gives  a  knowledge  of  parliamen- 
tary law  and  stimulates  a  fondness  for  reading.  It 
gives  the  power  of  expressing  in  public  one's  thoughts 
— a  power  not  possessed  by  many  people.  It  gives  a 
broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and  as  an  educator 
it  has  no  superior. 


10  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Library  A  library  of  over  seven  hundred  vol- 

umes has  been  collected,  to  which  ad- 
ditions are  constantly  being  made.  We  have  many 
volumes  of  biography,  history,  addresses,  together 
with  the  prose  and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott, 
Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Haw- 
thorne, Bacon,  and  others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  daily  papers  and  the 
magazines. 

What  Our  Pupils  Do 

We  have  two  general  ends  in  view :  one  to  prepare 
boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
page  11)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which  bear 
most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those  con- 
templating a  profession,  the  Classical  Course  may  be 
chosen;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricultural 
life,  the  Scientific  Course  doubtless  is  to  be  preferred ; 
while  for  those  having  in  view  a  business  career  the 
English  Course  is  perhaps  the  best. 

Pupils  who  expect  to  enter  college  are  urged  to  take 
the  course  leading  to  full  graduation.     (See  page  12.) 

Record  of  Work 

Examina-  We  require,  at  the  end  of  each  quarter, 

tions  written    examinations    on    all    studies 

gone  over  during  the  quarter.  These 
examinations  are  preceded  by  a  thorough  review  of 
the  quarter's  work.  Written  tests  are  also  given 
every  two  or  three  weeks,  and  pupils  who  average  90 
on  these  are  excused  from  the  regular  examinations. 


CARY PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  11 

Reports  At  the  end  of  each  quarter  reports  are 

mailed  to  all  parents  in  order  that 
they  may  be  kept  informed  regarding  the  scholarship, 
deportment  and  attendance  of  their  children,  and  we 
ask  for  their  co-operation. 

Pupils  to  pass  from  one  year  or  grade 
rromotions  t0  t^e  neX£  must  average  seventy-five 
per  cent  on  their  respective  studies,  and  all  examina- 
tions must  be  passed. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor 
Honors  Roll   ig   posted     To   be   entitled   to   a 

place  on  this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  90  on 
scholarship,  90  on  attendance,  and  95  on  deportment. 

A  gold  medal  is  given  by  the  Principal  to  the  pupil 
in  the  high  school  making  the  highest  scholarship 
during  the  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must 
be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year,  and 
must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 

A  medal  is  given  for  the  best  performer  in  music, 
one  each  to  the  best  debater,  best  declaimer.  and  best 
reciter,  and  one  for  most  improvement  in  each  of  the 
four  literary  societies. 

In  the  course  of  study  there  are  six 

Gradua-  departments:     Latin,    English,   Mathe- 

on  matics,  History,    Science,   and  French. 

To  receive  a  certificate  of  graduation,  a  pupil  must 

have  completed  one  of  the  following  courses : 

(1)  Classical. — Required:  Latin,  English,  Mathe- 
matics. Elective:  History  or  Science  (through  the 
Sophomore  year)  or  French. 

(2)  Scientific. — Required:  Science,  Mathematics, 
English  ( through  the  Junior  year) .  Elective :  Latin 
(through  the  Sophomore  year)  or  History  (through 
the  Junior  year). 

(3)  English. — Required:  English,  History,  Science 
(through    the    Sophomore    year).     Elective:     Mathe- 


12  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

matics  (through  the  Junior  year)  or  Latin  (through 
the  Sophomore  year). 

To  receive  the  full  diploma  of  graduation  one  must 
have  completed  the  full  four  years'  course  including 
French. 

Each  of  these  courses  requires  the  completion  of 
Arithmetic. 

A  deficit  in  any  quarter's  work,  unless  the  work  is 
below  70,  may  be  made  up  in  the  succeeding  quarter ; 
but  in  the  Senior  year,  it  must  be  made  up  immediate- 
ly by  special  examination.

Special  Departments 

Music  Music   is    a   fine   accomplishment    for 

girls,  adding  charm  to  the  home-life 
and  turning  many  a  dull  hour  into  one  of  real  en- 
joyment. It  is  equally  as  fine  an  accomplishment  for 
a  boy  and  in  a  home  where  there  are  only  boys,  it 
ought  by  no  means  to  be  neglected.  All  parents  who 
can  afford  it  should  give  their  children  the  opportuni- 
ty of  taking  it.

etc.,  till  satisfactory  arrangements  have  been  made 
with  the  School  Board. 


18  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition. 

Board 

Boys'  The    dormitories    are    furnished   with 

Dormitory  bedstead,  mattress  with  springs,  chairs, 
table,  lamp,  etc.  All  boys  rooming  in 
dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow 
and  toilet  articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush,  soap, 
matches,  etc.  The  school  furnishes  fuel  and  lights. 
The  cost  of  board  with  room  from  Monday  to  Friday 
is  $7.00. 

Rooms  are  rented  only  to  those  who  take  their 
meals  at  the  matron's  home. 

Night  latches  have  been  placed  upon  all  the  doors, 
and  each  pupil  is  required  to  deposit  25  cents  for  his 
key,  which  sum  will  be  returned  when  the  key  is  de- 
livered up. 

Pupils  in  these  dormitories  are  allowed  to  remain 
in  their  rooms  for  study.  The  Principal  reserves  the 
right,  however,  to  remove  any  boy  from  the  dormitory 
to  the  schoolroom  for  indolence  or  disorder.  One  of 
the  teachers  has  a  room  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order  at  night. 

After  seventeen  years'  experience  with  boarding 
students,  it  is  our  honest  conviction  that  there  is  no 
better  place  for  a  boy  outside  of  his  own  home  than 
a  well  regulated  dormitory. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by 
Browing  Mrg   Lynn,  who  for  several  years  has 

successfully  managed  private  boarding 
houses  for  girls.  The  building  is  neatly  and  comfort- 
ably   furnished.     The    girls   must   keep    their   rooms 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  19 

neat,  and  be  quiet  and  studious  in  their  rooms  during 
study  hours.  The  girls  must  furnish  sheets,  towels, 
bedding,  pillow  and  necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as 
soap,  mathces,  comb  and  brush,  etc. 

Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7.00  per  month, 
or  from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $7.50.  These 
rates  include  room,  fuel,  lights,  etc. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughters' 
every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.  One  of 
the  lady  assistants,  rooms  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satis- 
t" rivate  factory  arrangements  can  be  made  for 

families  board  with  private  families.     Boys  and 

girls  must  have  different  boarding  places.  Each  pupil 
will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or  two 
quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow  cases.  Arrange- 
ments can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday 
of  each  week  at  $S.50  a  month.  The  Principal  will 
arrange  board  when  notified  by  parents. 

Board  is  payable  at  end  of  each  month  of  four 
weeks  with  no  deduction  for  less  than  one  week. 

Miscellaneous 

Let  parents  see  to  it  that  their  children  are  present 
on  the  opening  day.  Classes  are  formed  then  and 
pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already  formed. 
Late  entrance  is  the  cause  of  many  failures. 

Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
any  complaint  is  made. 

All  boarding  pupils,  before  leaving  Cary,  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not 
be  given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for 
their  home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their 
parents  to  the  Principal. 


20  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Pupils  are  encouraged  by  precept  and  by  example 
to  save  their  money.  Parents  who  find  their  children 
spending  more  money  than  is  necessary  should  notify 
the  Principal. 

Parents  who  desire  it  may  send  all  money  for  board, 
room-rent,  tuition,  and  books  to  the  Principal.  He 
will  not  be  a  repository  for  spending  money,  however. 

For  further  information,  address 

M.  B.  DRY,  Principal, 

Cary,  N.  C. 

Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  boarding 
students. 

After  time  for  study  hour,  all  students  must  go  to 
their  rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for 
retiring,  except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved 
public  meetings. 

No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission 
from  parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their 
homes. 

There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  ground  for  expulsion. 

No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under 
proper  chaperonage. 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  21 

There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 


Special  Notes 


The  school  is  now  offering  four  years  in  Science — 
a  half  year  each  in  Physiology,  Physical  Geography, 
Botany,  and  Agriculture,  and  a  year  each  in  Physics 
and  Chemistry. 

The  school  owns  about  $400  worth  of  apparatus  for 
teaching  Science  and  Domestic  Science. 

Owing  to  lack  of  room  while  the  new  building  is 
going  up  we  are  compelled  to  omiit  Domestic  Science 
and  Elocution  for  Session  1913-1914. 

Pupils  in  the  dormitories  will  be  held  responsible 
for  all  damage  to  school  property  in  their  rooms. 

The  school  is  exceedingly  fortunate  in  being  able  to 
retain  the  services  of  Mrs.  W.  T.  Lynn  and  Mrs.  S.  S. 
Wood  as  matrons  of  the  two  dormitories  for  next  ses- 
sion.    They  are  giving  entire  satisfaction. 

Last  session  134  high-school  pupils  were  enrolled. 
There  were  109  boarders  from  thirteen  counties  in 
North  Carolina  and  South  Carolina.  The  graduating 
Class  numbered  ten.  Nearly  all  of  tftese  will  enter 
college  this  fall. 

If  our  friends  into  whose  hands  this  catalogue  falls 
will  send  us  the  names  and  addresses  of  any  boys  and 
girls  who  contemplate  entering  a  high  school  soon,  or 
of  parents  who  might  be  induced  to  patronize  Cary 
High  School,  the  kindness  will  be  appreciated. 

Every  pupil  in  school,  of  whatever  grade,  is  re- 
quired to  take  spelling,  and  every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  must  join  one  of  the  four  classes  in  Current 
Events. 

Following  are  some  of  the  advantages  Cary  High 
School  will  be  able  to  offer  when  the  new  building  is 


22  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

completed :  one  of  the  most  substantial  high  school 
buildings  in  the  State;  sewerage  and  water  in  the 
building ;  artesian  well  on  the  campus ;  spacious  class 
rooms  lighted  on  one  side  and  provided  with  cabinets 
built  into  the  walls;  well-lighted  and  ventilated 
study-hall  seated  with  tablet-arm  chairs  and  pro- 
vided with  inidividual  and  family  lockers  for  books, 
tablets,  etc. ;  an  auditorium  that  will  seat  eight  hun- 
dred or  more  with  a  gallery  and  a  splendid  stage; 
gymnasium,  society  halls,  laboratories,  etc. ;  a  boys' 
dormitory  accommodating  sixty  boys ;  the  girls'  dor- 
mitory enlarged  to  accommodate  sixty  or  more. 

The  school  is  widely  known  and  extensively  pat- 
ronized. The  last  report  of  the  State  Inspector  of 
High  Schools  shows  that  Cary  enrolled  more  high 
school  pupils  than  any  other  one  of  the  more  than 
200  State  High  Schools  now  in  operation. 

The  school  has  standing  with  the  colleges,  its 
graduates  being  admitted  on  certificate.  In  one  col- 
lege alone  two  years  ago,  there  were  enrolled  22  Cary 
High  School  graduates.  This  year  in  the  graduating 
class  of  one  of  the  leading  colleges  of  the  State,  seven 
of  the  class  were  former  pupils  of  Cary  High  School, 
most  of  whom  graduated  "with  honor"  and  one  or 
two  "with  great  honor." 

Cary  is  an  ideal  place  for  a  boarding  school.  It 
has  most  of  the  conveniences  of  larger  towns  and  yet 
it  is  free  from  many  of  the  evils  incident  to  town  and 
city  life.  The  people  are  sober,  honest,  law-abiding, 
church-going.  They  are  thoroughly  devoted  to  the 
school  and  have  sacrificed  for  it  in  many  ways.

Cary  Public  High  School 


Foreword 

Past  The   Cary   High   School   is   not   a    new 

Record  enterprise,    but   has   an   honorable  his- 

tory. For  nearly  two  decades  it  has 
occupied  a  foremost  place  among  the  secondary  schools 
of  the  State.  Even  before  1896  when  Prof.  E.  L. 
Middleton  took  charge,  the  school  was  doing  a  supe- 
rior class  of  work  under  the  intelligent  guidance  o£ 
such  teachers  as  A.  H.  Merritt,  Rev.  Solomon  Pool, 
W.  L.  Crocker,  Rev.  Jesse  Page  and  the  Misses  Jones. 
For  twelve  years,  from  1896  to  1908, 
the  school  was  under  the  wise  man- 
agement of  Professor  Middleton.  Under  his  leadership 
the  school  building  grew  from  a  one  or  two-room 
structure  to  a  building  of  sixteen  rooms,  besides  dor- 
mitory rooms,  and  from  a  teaching  force  of  two  or 
three  and  a  small  boarding  patronage  to  eight  teach- 
ers and  more  than  a  hundred  boarding  students. 

When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907  enacted  a  law 
providing  for  a  system  of  public  high  schools  for 
North  Carolina,  the  Cary  High  School  was  converted 
into  the  Cary  Public  High  School,  which  enjoys  the 
distinction  of  being  the  first  high  school  established 
under  that  law.  As  such,  it  has  now  been  in  opera- 
tion for  seven  years,  and  has  steadily  grown  in  patron- 
age and  efficiency. 


CARy  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  13 

New  The  school  has  recently  entered  upon 

Building  a  career  of  "larger  usefulness  by  erect- 

ing a  new  main  building,  costing  a  little 
more  than  $30,000,  with  all  the  advantages  and  con- 
veniences of  the  most  up-to-date  city  school.  (See 
page  8  for  a  fuller  description. ) 

Beginning  with  the  session  of  1914-1915, 

F  arm-Lire         t|le  g^^  wm  begin  to  do  some  real 

hool  work    in    the    teaching    of   Agriculture 

and  Domestic   Science,  the  school  having  been  made 

one  of  the  Farm-life  Schools  for  Wake  County. 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent 
Who  Can  admit  free  from  tuition  in  Wake  County 

those  who  have  completed  the  seven 
grades  of  the  elementary  school  as  outlined  on  pages 
12-15  in .  this  catalogue.  Applicants  must  bring  cer- 
tificates from  the  last  teacher  saying  the  course  has 
been  satisfactorily  completed. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age  are  en- 
titled to  free  tuition.  All  other  pupils  over  twenty- 
one  years  of  age  must  pay  tuition.  Pupils  who  are 
unprepared  to  do  the  work  of  the  High  School  are  re- 
quired to  pay  tuition  in  the  lower  grades.  (For  rates 
of  tuition  see  page  17.) 

The  County  Board  of  Education  al- 
Outside  lowg  the  gcm->0i  Committee  to  receive 

Patronage  pupus  from  outside  Wake  County. 
These  pupils  receive  every  advantage  formerly  given 
under  private  management. 

It  is  important  to  begin  at  the  opening, 
W^hcn  to  • 

just  as  important  as  it  is  for  a  farmer 

to    begin   a    crop   on   time.     The   pupil 

who  starts  a  few  weeks  late  is  often  handicapped  in 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  15 

his  work  for  the  whole  term.     Begin  at  the  first  and 
plan  for  the  entire  school  year. 

What  We  Do 

For  the  The    moral    and    religions    welfare    of 

Heart  the  students  is  not  neglected.     Young 

men's  prayer  meetings  are  held  once  a 
week  in  the  school  building  and  most  of  the  pupils 
with  the  teachers  attend  the  weekly  prayer  services 
at  the  churches.  Most  of  the  teachers  teach  in  the 
Sunday  schools  of  the  town,  and  regular  attendance 
on  the  part  of  the  pupils  is  insisted  upon  and  ex- 
pected ;  yet  no  one's  religious  belief  is  questioned  or 
interfered  with  in  any  way. 

The   health    record    for    the    school    is 

or  tae  most  gratifying.     There  has  not  been  a 

°  y  death  nor  a  severe  case  of  sickness,  not 

even  a  case  of  typhoid  fever,  among  the  pupils  in  the 

last  five  years. 

The  school  management  believes  in  athletics  both 
for  boys  and  girls  and  encourages  all  healthful  sports 
among  the  pupils.  Baseball  and  track  athletics  for 
boys  and  basketball  and  tennis  for  girls  afford  ex- 
cellent opportunities  for  physical  development.  All 
boarding  girls  are  required  to  take  a  daily  walk. 
Wide  open  windows  and  plenty  of  fresh  air  are  in- 
sisted upon  at  all  times.  No  pupil  who  fails  to  make 
the  pass  mark  on  at  least  four  of  his  studies  is  al- 
lowed to  take  part  in  any  match  game  of  ball  or  other 
form  of  athletics.  This  regulation  has  proved  a  pow- 
erful stimulus  to  study  in  some  classes. 


16  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

For  the  In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 

Mind  view :    to  teach  pupils  to  he  observant 

of  what  they  see,  judicious  iu  what 
they  do,  and  logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher 
to  educate  a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him ; 
draw  out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  iu  a 
-heterogeneous  mass  of  information.  Pupils  are  en- 
couraged to  do  as  much  original  thinking  as  possible. 
In  addition  to  mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use 
those  essentials  in  education  tending  to  culture  and 
refinement,  and  those  which  will  prepare  young  men 
and  women  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  to  lay  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  college. 

What  We  Are  and  What  We  Have 

Location  The  school  is  only  eight  miles  from  the 

State's  capital  city.  It  is  on  both  the 
Seaboard  and  Southern  railways.  It  is  on  a  principal 
watershed  of  Wake  County,  being  high  above  the 
surrounding  country  and  consequently  free  from  local 
causes  of  sickness.  It  is  in  the  educational  as  well 
as  the  geographical  center  of  the  State,  being  in 
close  touch  with  the  A.  and  M.  College,  Trinity  Col- 
lege, the  State  University,  Wake  Forest  College,  Mere- 
dith College,  Peace  Institute,  St.  Mary's,  none  of  which 
Is  more  than  thirty  miles  away.  Representatives  of 
the  faculties  of  these  institutions  as  well  as  the  State 
officials  at  Raleigh  are  frequently  secured  as  speakers 
during  the  school  session.  The  pupils  also  have  easy 
.access  to  the  well-equipped  libraries  of  these  colleges, 
.as  well  as  to  the  State  Library  at  Raleigh. 


IS  CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

Buildings  The  new  school  building  which  has  been 

erected  on  the  site  of  the  old  building 
is  a  model  of  its  kind,  containing  all  the  advantages 
and  conveniences  of  the  most  modern  city  high  school. 
There  are  rooms  in  the  basement  for  heating  plant, 
toilets,  society  halls,  domestic  science,  physical  and 
chemical  laboratories,  manual  training,  gymnasium, 
etc.  On  the  first  floor  there  are  four  large  class 
Tooms,  an  assembly  room  for  the  Elementary  School, 
a  library,  principal's  office  and  teachers'  rest  room. 
The  second  floor  contains  besides  six  recitation  rooms 
for  the  High  School  and  six  music  rooms  a  large  audi- 
torium, with  study  hall  combined,  and  a  gallery.  The 
auditorium,  study  hall  and  gallery  will  seat  about 
850.  A  distinctive  feature  of  the  building  is  the  study 
hall.  It  is  seated  with  tablet-arm  chairs,  lockers  be- 
ing provided  on  the  sides  of  the  room  for  books,  tab- 
lets, etc.  It  is  well  lighted  and  ventilated  and  wiil 
accommodate  about  200  pupils.  The  primary  grades 
occupy  spacious  and  well-lighted  rooms  on  the  first 
floor. 

The  boys'  dormitory  is  being  enlarged  so  as  to  ac- 
commodate about  SO  boys.  The  building  will  be  reno- 
vated throughout.  The  girls'  dormitory  will  accom- 
modate about  30  girls.  Arrangements  are  being  made 
to  care  for  several  girls  in  a  private  house  under  the 
supervision  of  a  teacher. 

General  Culture 

Literary  The    Clay    and    Calhoun    societies    for 

Societies  young  men,  and  the  Irving  and  Lowell 

societies  for  girls,   meet  once  a  week 

for   exercises   in    debate,    composition    and    elocution.

All  members  are  required  to  take  part  in  the  exer- 
cises. The  good  to  be  derived  from  this  work  cannot 
be  overestimated.  It  furnishes  a  knowledge  of  par- 
liamentary law  and  stimulates  a  fondness  for  reading. 
It  gives  the  power  of  expressing  in  public  one's 
thoughts — a  power  not  possessed  by  many  people. 
It  gives  a  broader  view  of  men  and  things,  and  as 
an  educator  it  has  no  superior. 

A  library  of  over  seven  hundred  vol- 
.Literary  umes  has  been  collected,  to  which  ad- 

ditions are  constantly  being  made.  We  have  many 
volumes  of  biography,  history,  addresses,  together 
with  the  prose  and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott, 
Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Haw- 
thorne, Bacon  and  others. 

Students  have  access  to  the  daily  papers  and  the 
magazines. 

What  Our  Pupils  Do 

We  have  two  general  end  in  view :  one  to  prepare 
"boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
page  11)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which  bear 
most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those  con- 
templating a  profession,  the  Classical  Course  may  be 
chosen ;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricultural 
life,  the  Agricultural  Course,  of  course,  is  to  be  pre- 
ferred ;  while  for  those  having  in  view  a  business 
career,  the  English  Course  is  perhaps  the  best.  The 
Scientific  Course  might  meet  the  needs  of  certain 
pupils,  especially  those  preparing  for  the  profession 
•of  medicine  or  dentistry.

Pupils  who  expect  to  enter  college  are  urged  to  take 
the  course  leading  to  full  graduation.     (See  page  12.) 


Examina- 
tions 


Record  of  Work 

We  require,  at  the  end  of  each  quarter, 
written    examinations    on    all    studies 


gone  over  during  the  quarter.  These 
examinations  are  preceded  by  a  thorough  review  of 
the  quarter's  work.  Written  tests  are  also  given 
every  two  or  three  weeks,  and  pupils  who  average  90 
on  these  are  excused  from  the  regular  examinations. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  reports  are 


Reports 


mailed    to    all    parents    in    order    that 


they  may  be  kept  informed  regarding  the  scholarship, 
deportment  and  attendance  of  their  children,  and  we 
ask  for  their  co-operation. 

Pupils  to  pass  from  one  year  or  grade 
Promotions      to  tbe  next  mugt  average  seventy-nve 

per  cent  on  their  respective  studies,  and  all  examina- 
tions must  be  passed. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor 
Honors  Roll    .g   posted      To   be   entitle(a   to    a 

place  on  this,  a  pupil  must  make  an  average  of  90  on 
scholarship,  90  on  attendance,  and  95  on  deportment. 

A  gold  medal  is  given  by  the  Principal  to  the  pupil 
in  the  high  school  making  the  highest  scholarship 
during  the  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil  must 
be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year,  and 
must  carry  at  least  four  studies  each  quarter. 

A  medal  is  .given  for  the  best  performer  in  music, 
one  each  to  the  best  debater,  best  declaimer,  and  best 
reciter,  and  one  for  most  improvement  in  each  of  the 
four  literary  societies.

Music  Music    is    a    fine    accomplishment    for 

girls,  adding  charm  to  the  home-life 
and  turning  many  a  dull  hour  into  one  of  real  en- 
joyment. It  is  equally  as  fine  an  accomplishment  for 
a  boy,  and  in  a  home  where  there  are  only  boys  it 
ought  by  no  means  to  be  neglected.  All  parents  who 
can  afford  it  should  give  their  children  the  opportunity 
of  taking  it.

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance.  No  deduc- 
tion is  made  for  absence  except  in  cases  of  protracted 
illness  of  one  week  or  more. 

The  school  is  not  a  private  enterprise.  All  accounts 
must  be  settled  in  full  on  or  before  January  1st  and 
June  1st. 

No  pupil  whose  bills  for  the  previous  session  have 
not  been  paid  will  be  allowed  to  take  music,  elocutiou, 
etc.,  till  satisfactory  arrangements  have  been  made 
with  the  School  Board. 

The  above  rates  are  for  all,  and  not  subject  to  dis- 
counts. 

Ministerial  students,  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  will  receive  free  tuition. 

Board 

Boys'  The    dormitories    are    furnished    with 

Dormitory       bedstead,  mattress  and  springs,  chairs, 
table,  lamp,  etc.     All  boys  rooming  in 
dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow 
and   toilet   articles,    such   as   comb   and   brush,   soap,

matches,  etc.  The  school  furnishes  fuel  and  lights. 
The  cost  of  board  with  room  from  Monday  to  Friday 
is  $7.00. 

Rooms  are  rented  only  to  those  who  take  their 
meals  at  the  matron's  home. 

One  of  the  teachers  has  a  room  in  the  dormitory  and 
keeps  order  at  night. 

After    eighteen    years'    experience    with    boarding 

pupils,  it  is  our  honest  conviction  that  there  is  no 

better  place  for  a  boy  outside  of  his' own  home  than 

a  well-regulated  dormitory. 

This   home  for  girls  will  be  presided

"  eral    years    has    successfully   managed 

boarding  houses  for  school  folks.  The  building  is 
nearly  and  comfortably  furnished.  The  girls  must 
keep  their  rooms  neat,  and  be  quiet  and  studious  in 
their  rooms  during  study  hours.  The  girls  furnish 
sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow  and  necessary  toilet 
articles,  such  as  soap,  matches,  comb  and  brush,  etc. 

Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7.00  per  month, 
or  from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $7.50.  These 
rates  include  room,  fuel,  lights,  etc. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughters' 
every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.  One  of 
the  lady  assistants  rooms  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satis- 
fy factory  arrangements  can  be  made  for 
Families  board  with  private  families.  Boys  and 
girls  must  have  different  boarding  places.  Each  pupil 
will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or  two 
quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow  cases.     Arrange-

inents  can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday 
of  each  week  at  $8.50  a  month.  The  Principal  will 
arrange  board  when  notified  by  parents. 

Board  is  payable  at  end  of  each  month  of  four 
weeks  with  no  deduction  for  less  than  one  week. 

Miscellaneous 

Let  parents  see  to  it  that  their  children  are  present 
on  the  opening  day.  Classes  are  formed  then  and 
pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already  formed. 
Late  entrance  is  the  cause  of  many  failures. 

Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
any  complaint  is  made. 

All  boarding  pupils,  before  leaving  Gary,  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not 
be  given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for 
their  home,  unless  by  written  request  from  their 
parents  to  the  Principal. 

Pupils  are  encouraged  by  precept  and  by  example 
to  save  their  money.  Parents  who  find  their  children 
spending  more  money  than  is  necessary  should  notify 
the  Principal. 

Parents  who  desire  it  may  send  all  money  for  board, 
room  rent,  tuition  and  books  to  the  Principal.  He 
will  not  be  a  repository  for  spending  money,  however.

Rules 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  boarding 
students. 

After  time  for  study  hour,  all  students  must  go  to 
their  rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for 
retiring,  except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved 
public  meetings. 

No  pupil  must  leaye  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission 
from  parents  for  any  such  absence,  excxept  to  their 
homes. 

There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  grounds  for  expulsion. 

No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under 
proper  chaperonage. 

Pupils  in  the  dormitories  will  be  held  responsible 
for  all  damage  to  school  property  in  their  rooms. 

There  must  be  no  written  communication  between 
boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or  village. 


Special  Notes 


The  school  is  now  offering  four  years  in  Science — 
a  half  year  each  in  Physiology  and  Physical   Geog- 


CARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL.  83 

raphy,  a  year  in  Botany  and  Zoology,  a  year  each  in 
Physics  and  Chemistry,  and  three  years  each  in  Agri- 
culture and  Domestic  Science. 

The  school  owns  about  $400  worth  of  apparatus  for 
teaching  Science,  Agriculture  and  Domestic  Science. 

Last  session  131  high-school  pupils  were  enrolled. 
There  were  95  boarders  from  fourteen  counties  in 
North  Carolina  and  South  Carolina.  The  graduating 
class  numbered  fifteen.  Nearly  all  of  these  will  enter 
college  this  fall. 

Every  pupil  in  school,  of  whatever  grade,  is  re- 
quired to  take  spelling,  and  every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  must  join  one  of  the  four  classes  in  Current 
Events. 

Following  are  some  of  the  advantages  Cary  High 
School  is  now  able  to  offer :  one  of  the  most  sub- 
stantial high  school  buildings  in  the  State;  sewerage 
and  water  in  the  building;  artesian  well  on  the 
campus ;  spacious  class  rooms  lighted  on  one  side  and 
provided  with  cabinets  built  into  the  walls ;  well- 
lighted  and  ventilated  study  hall  seated  with  tablet- 
arm  chairs  and  provided  with  individual  and  family 
lockers  for  books,  tablets,  etc. ;  an  auditorium  that 
will  seat  eight  hundred  or  more  with  a  gallery  and  a 
splendid  stage ;  gymnasium,  society  halls,  laboratories, 
etc. ;  a  boys'  dormitory  accommodating  eighty  boys ; 
a  girls'  dormitory  to  accommodate  thirty  or  more. 

The  school  is  widely  known  and  extensively  pat- 
ronized. The  last  report  of  the  State  Inspector  of 
High  Schools  shows  that  Cary  enrolled  more  high 
school  pupils  than  any  other  one  of  the  more  than 
two  hundred  State  High  Schools  now  in  operation. 


34  GARY  PUBLIC  HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  school  has  standing  with  the  colleges,  its  grad- 
uates beiug  admitted  on  certificate.  In  one  college 
alone,  three  years  ago,  there  were  enrolled  22  Cary 
High  School  graduates.  Two  years  ago  in  the  grad- 
uating class  of  one  of  the  leading  colleges  of  the  State 
seven  of  the  class  were  former  pupils  of  Cary  High 
School,  most  of  whom  graduated  "with  honor"  and  one 
.or  two  "with  great  honor." 

Cary  is  an  ideal  place  for  a  boarding  school.  It 
has  most  of  the  conveniences  of  larger  towns  and  yet 
it  is  free  from  many  of  the  evils  incident  to  town  and 
city  life.  The  people  are  sober,  honest,  law-abiding, 
church-going.  They  are  thoroughly  devoted  to  the 
school  and  have  sacrificed  for  it  in  many  ways. 

The  Cary  High  School  is  putting  itself  in  line  with 
the  best  educational  thought  in  the  country  today, 
namely,  that  of  ministering  to  the  needs  of  the  people. 
North  Carolina  will  doubtless  remain  an  agricultural 
State.  It  is  imperative,  therefore,  that  agriculture  be 
taught  in  the  most  approved  and  systematic  way.  To 
this  end  no  pains  or  expense  have  been  spared  in 
equipping  the  school  to  teach  the  subjects  of  Agricul- 
ture and  Domestic  Science  in  a  really  effective  way. 
The  result  is  that  these  subjects  will  be  taught,  be- 
ginning with  session  1914-1915,  by  specially  trained 
teachers  and  under  the  most  favorable  conditions — 
one  of  these  conditions  being  the  school's  proximity 
to  the  A.  and  M.  College,  which  stands  ever  ready  to 
lend  a  helping  hand  in  promoting  agricultural  educa- 
tion among  the  people.

FOREWORD 

Past  The  Cary  High   School  is  not  a  new 

Record  enterprise,   but  has  an  honorable  his- 

tory. For  nearly  two  decades  it  has 
occupied  a  foremost  place  among  the  secondary  schools 
of  the  State.  Even  before  1S96  when  Prof.  E.  L. 
Middleton  took  charge,  the  school  was  doing  a  supe- 
rior class  of  work  under  the  intelligent  guidance  of 
such  teachers  as  A.  H.  Merritt,  Rev.  Solomon  Pool, 
W.  L.  Crocker,  Rev.  Jesse  Page  and  the  Misses  Jones. 
For  twelve  years,  from  1S96  to  1908, 
the  school  was  under  the  wise  man- 
agement of  Professor  Middleton.  Under  his  leadership 
the  school  building  grew  from  a  one  or  two-room 
structure  to  a  building  of  sixteen  rooms,  and  from  a 
teaching  force  of  two  or  three  and  a  small  boarding 
patronage  to  eight  teachers  and  more  than  a  hundred 
boarding  students. 

When  the  General  Assembly  of  1907  enacted  a  law 
providing  for  a  system  of  public  high  schools  for  the 
State,  the  Cary  High  School  was  converted  into  the 
Cary  Public  High  School,  which  enjoys  the  distinction 
of  being  the  first  high  school  established  under  that 
law.  As  such,  it  has  now  been  in  operation  for  eight 
years,  and  has  steadily  grown  in  patronage  and 
efficiency. 

A  year  ago  the  school  entered  upon  a 
.New 

career    of    larger    usefulness    when    it 

Features  entered    its    new    $30,000    building,    a 

building  with  all  the  advantages  and  conveniences  of 


Cary  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School    9 

the  most  up-to-date  city  school ;  and  began  to  do 
some  real  work  in  the  teaching  of  Agriculture  and 
Home  Economics,  the  school  having  been  made  one  of 
the  Farm-life  Schools  for  Wake  County 

The  rules  of  the  State  Superintendent 
admit  free  from  tuition  in  Wake  County 
Enter  those  who   have   completed   the  seven 

grades  of  the  elementary  school  as  outlined  on  pages 
24-26  in  this  catalogue.  Applicants  must  bring  cer- 
tificates from  the  last  teacher  saying  the  course  has 
been  satisfactorily  completed. 

All  public  school  teachers  of  whatever  age  are  en- 
titled to  free  tuition.  All  other  pupils  over  twenty- 
one  years  of  age  must  pay  tuition.  Pupils  who  are 
unprepared  to  do  the  work  of  the  High  School  are  re- 
quired to  pay  tuition  in  the  lower  grades.  (For  rates 
of  tuition  see  page  29.) 

The  County  Board  of  Education  allows 

the  School  Committee  to  receive  pupils 

Patronage         fl.om   outside   Wake   County.     These 

pupils  receive  every  advantage  usually  given  in  schools 

under  private  management.

Enter  t0   begin   a   cr0p   011   time.     The   pupil 

who  starts  a  few  weeks  late  is  often  handicapped  in 
his  work  for  the  whole  term.  Begin  at  the  first  and 
plan  for  the  entire  school  year. 

WHAT  WE  DO 

The  moral  and  religious  welfare  of  the 
students    is    not    neglected.     Most    of 
Heart  the  teachers  attend  the  weekly  prayer 

services  at  the  churches  and  teach  in  the  Sunday 
schools  of  the  town,  and  regular  attendance  on  the. 
part  of  the  pupils  is  insisted  upon  and  expected ;  yet 


Gary  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School  11 

no  one's  religious  belief  is  questioned  or  interfered 
with  in  any  way. 

The    health    record    for    the    school    is 
most   gratifying.     The  school   manage- 
Body  ment  believes  in  athletics  both  for  boys 

and  girls  and  encourages  all  healthful  sports  among 
the  pupils.  Baseball,  track  athletics,  basketball,  and 
tennis  afford  excellent  opportunities  for  physical  de- 
velopment. All  boarding  girls  are  required  to  take  a 
daily  walk.  Wide  open  windows  and  plenty  of  fresh 
air  are  insisted  upon  at  all  times.  No  pupil  who 
fails  to  make  the  pass  mark  on  at  least  four  of  his 
studies  is  allowed  to  take  part  in  any  match  game  of 
ball  or  other  form  of  athletics. 

"  At  considerable  expense,  we  have  pro- 

vided courses  in  Manual  Training  and 
Hand  Farm  Work  for  the  boys  and  Cooking 

and  Sewing  for  the  girls,  and  these  afford  an  excellent 
means  of  supplementing  the  work  of  the  text  book. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 
view :  to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant 
Mmd  of  what   they   see,   judicious   in  what 

they  do,  and  logical  in  what  they  say.  In  addition  to 
mere  mental  discipline,  we  try  to  use  those  essentials 
in  education  tending  to  culture  and  refinement,  and 
those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and  women  for 
the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary  and  Grammar  School  Departments 
we  take  all  pains  to  lay  good  foundations  for  future 
work,  whether  in  business,  high  school  or  .college. 

WHAT  WE  ARE  AND  WHAT  WE  HAVE 

Location  The  school  is  only  eight  miles  from  the 

State's  capital  city.     It  is  on  both  the 

Seaboard  and  Southern  railways.     It  is  on  a  principal 

watershed    of    Wake    County,    being    high    above    the 


Cary  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School  13 

surrounding  country  and  consequently  free  from  local 
causes  of  sickness.  It  is  in  tlie  educational  as  well 
as  the  .  geographical  center  of  the  State,  being  in 
close  touch  with  the  A.  and  M.  College,  Trinity  Col- 
lege, the  State  University,  Wake  Forest  College,  Mere- 
dith College,  Peace  Institute,  St.  Mary's,  none  of  which 
is  more  than  thirty  miles  away.  Representatives  of 
the  faculties  of  these  institutions  as  well  as  the  State 
officials  at  Raleigh  are  frequently  secured  as  speakers 
during  the  school  session.  The  pupils  also  have  easy 
access  to  the  well-equipped  libraries  of  these  colleges, 
as  well  as  to  the  State  Library  at  Raleigh. 

The  new  main  building  is  a  model  of 
Buildings  itg  kindi  containing  all  tlle  advantages 

and  conveniences  of  the  most  modern  city  high  school. 
There  are  rooms  in  the  basement  for  heating  plant, 
toilets,  domestic  science,  physical  and  chemical  labora- 
tories,, manual  training,  gymnasium,  etc.  On  the  first 
floor  there  are  four  large  class  rooms,  an  assembly 
room  for  the  Elementary  School,  a  library,  principal's 
office  and  teachers'  rest  room.  The  second  floor  con- 
tains besides  six  recitation  rooms  for  the  High  School 
and  six  music  rooms ;  a  large  auditorium,  with  study 
hall  combined,  and  a  gallery.  The  auditorium,  study 
hall  and  gallery  will  seat  about  S50.  The  primary 
grades  occupy  spacious  and  well-lighted  rooms  on  the 
first  floor. 

The  boys'  dormitory  will  accommodate  about  60 
boys.  It  has  recently  been  provided  with  baths, 
toilets,  etc. 

The  girls'  dormitory  will  accommodate  30  girls. 
Boarding  places  will  be  found  in  private  homes  for 
those  who  can  not  be  provided  for  in  the  dormitories. 

Other  buildings  on  the  campus  belonging  to  the 
school  are  the  matron's  home  and  a  home  for  the 
janitor.

On  the  school  farm,  the  school  has  recently  erected 
a  model  bam  and  a  cottage  for  the  farm  hands. 

GENERAL  CULTURE 

Literary  The    Clay    and    Calhoun    societies    for 

Societies  young  men,  and  the  Irving  and  Lowell 

societies  for  girls,  meet  once  a  week 
for  exercise  in  debate,  composition  and  elocution. 
All  members  are  required  to  take  part  in  the  exer- 
cises. The  good  to  be  derived  from  this  work  cannot 
be  overestimated.  It  furnishes  a  knowledge  of  par- 
liamentary law  and  stimulates  a  fondness  for  reading. 
It  gives  the  power  of  expressing  in  public  one's 
thoughts  and  leads  to  a  broader  view  of  men  and 
things. 

Library  and  ^  library  of  over  seven  hundred  vol- 
Reading  uines  has  been  collected,  to  which  ad- 
Room  ditions  are  constantly  being  made.  We 
have  many  volumes  of  biography,  history,  addresses, 
together  with  the  prose  and  poetical  works  of  Dickens, 
Scott,  Cooper,  Tennyson,  Longfellow,  Shakespeare, 
Hawthorne.  Bacon  and  others. 

The  reading  room  is  supplied  with  magazines  and 
papers,  to  which  the  pupils  have  access  daily. 

WHAT  OUR  PUPILS  DO 

We  have  two  general  ends  in  view :  one  to  prepare 
boys  and  girls  for  college,  the  other  to  fit  the  great 
mass  of  our  students  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

By  the  elective  system  which  we  have  adopted  (see 
pages  17-23)  pupils  can  choose  those  studies  which 
bear  most  directly  upon  their  life  work.  For  those 
contemplating  a  profession,  the  Literary  Course  should 
be  chosen ;  for  those  who  expect  to  lead  an  agricul- 
tural life,  the  Agricultural  Course,  of  course,  is  to  be 
preferred. 

All  girls  should  take  the  course  in  Home  Economics.

SPECIAL  DEPARTMENTS 

Music  Music    is    a    fine    accomplishment    for 

girls,  adding  charm  to  the  home-life 
and  turning  many  a  dull  hour  into  one  of  real  enjoy- 
ment. It  is  equally  as  fine  an  accomplishment  for  a 
boy,  and  in  a  home  where  there  are  only  boys  it 
ought  by  no  means  to  be  neglected.  All  parents  who 
can  afford  it  should  give  their  children  the  opportunity 
of  taking  it.

BOARD 

Boys'  The    dormitories    are    furnished    with 

Dormitory  bedstead,  mattress  and  springs,  chairs, 
table,  lamp,  etc.  All  boys  rooming  in 
dormitory  must  furnish  sheets,  towels,  bedding,  pillow 
and  toilet  articles,  such  as  comb  and  brush,  soap, 
matches,  etc.  The  school  furnishes  fuel  and  lights. 
The  cost  of  board  with  room  from  Monday  to  Friday 
is  $7.50. 

Rooms  are  rented  only  to  those  who  take  their 
meals  at  the  matron's  home. 

One  of  the  teachers  has  a  room  in  the  dormitory  and 
keeps  order  at  night. 

After  eighteen  years'  experience  with  boarding 
pupils,  it  is  our  honest  conviction  that  there  is  no 
better  place  for  a  boy  outside  of  his  own  home  than 
a  well-regulated  dormitory. 

This  home  for  girls  is  presided  over  by 
Browning  Mrg  j  A  gmith)  who  for  several  years 
Hall  iias     successfully     managed     boarding 

houses  for  schools.  The  building  is  neatly  and  com- 
fortably furnished.The  girls  furnish  sheets,  towels, 
bedding,  pillow  and  necessary  toilet  articles,  such  as 
soap,  matches,  comb  and  brush,  etc. 

Board  from  Monday  to  Friday  is  $7.50  per  month, 
or  from  Sunday  evening  to  Friday,  $S.OO.  These 
rates  include  room,  fuel,  lights,  etc. 

All  parents  may  rest  assured  that  their  daughters' 
every  interest  will  be  carefully  looked  after.  One  of 
the  lady  assistants  rooms  in  the  dormitory  and  keeps 
order. 

When  the  dormitories  are  filled,  satis- 

factory  ararngements  can  be  made  for 

Families  board  with  private  families.     Boys  and 

girls  must  have  diffei'ent  boarding  places.     Each  pupil 


Canj  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School  31 

will  be  required  to  furnish  a  pair  of  blankets  or  two 
quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pillow  eases.  Arrange- 
ments can  be  made  to  board  from  Monday  till  Friday 
of  each  week  at  $S.50  a  month.  The  Principal  will 
arange  board  when  notified  by  parents. 

Board  is  payable  at  end  of  each  month  of  four 
weeks  with  no  deduction  for  less  than  nine  successive 
meals. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Let  parents  see  to  it  that  their  children  are  present 
on  the  opening  day.  Classes  are  formed  then  and 
pupils  entering  late  must  join  classes  already  formed. 
Late  entrance  is  the  cause  of  many  failures. 

Parents  should  always  write  to  the  Principal  when 
any  complaint  is  made. 

All  boarding  pupils,  before  leaving  Gary,  must  get 
permission  from  the  Principal.  Permission  will  not 
be  given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Cary,  except  for 
their  homes,  unless  by  written  request  from  their 
parents  to  the  Principal. 

Pupils  are  encouraged  by  precept  and  by  example 
to  save  their  money.  Parents  who  find  their  children 
spending  more  money  than  is  necessary  should  notify 
the  Principal. 

Parents  who  desire  it  may  send  all  money  for  board, 
room  rent,  tuition  and  books  to  the  Principal.  He 
will  not  be  a  repository  for  spending  money,  however.

RULES 

No  school  can  make  all  needed  rules  at  one  time. 
We  add  below  a  few  general  rules  for  boarding 
students. 

After  time  for  study  hour,  all  students  must  go  to 
their  rooms  and  remain  there  in  study  until  time  for 
retiring,  except  for  public  worship  and  other  approved 
public  meetings. 

No  pupil  must  leave  Cary  without  permission  from 
the  Principal  or  his  representative.  Girls  and  boys 
under  eighteen  years  must  get  written  permission 
from  parents  for  any  such  absence,  except  to  their 
homes. 

There  must  be  no  boisterous  conduct  or  amusement 
sufficient  to  disturb  any  one  in  boarding  houses. 

No  form  of  immorality,  such  as  drinking,  cursing, 
playing  cards,  etc.,  will  be  tolerated.  The  first  offense 
may  be  sufficient  grounds  for  expulsion. 

No  form  of  hazing  is  allowed. 

Boys  must  not  loaf  on  streets,  in  stores  or  at  rail- 
road depots. 

Girls  must  keep  off  streets,  except  for  necessary 
exercise,  and  then  in  approved  places  and  under 
proper  chaperonage. 

Pupils  in  the  dormitories  will  be  held  responsible 
for  all  damage  to  school  property  in  their  rooms. 

There  must  be  no  unnecessary  communication  be- 
tween boarding  girls  and  the  boys  of  the  school  or 
village. 

SPECIAL  NOTES 

The  school  is  now  offering  four  years  in  Science — 
a  year  in  General  Science,  a  year  in  Botany,  a  year 
each  in  Physics  and  Chemistry,  and  four  years  each 
in  Agriculture  and  Domestic  Science. 


Canj  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School  33 

The  school  owns  about  $S00  worth  of  apparatus  for 
teaching  Science,  Agriculture  and  Domestic  Science. 

Last  session  131  high-school  pupils  were  enrolled. 
There  were  S2  boarders  from  sixteen  counties  in 
North  Carolina  and  South  Carolina.  The  graduating 
class  numbered  seventeen.  Nearly  all  of  these  will 
enter  college  this  fall. 

Every  pupil  in  school,  of  whatever  grade,  is  re- 
quired to  take  spelling,  and  every  pupil  in  the  high 
school  must  join  one  of  the  four  classes  in  Current 
Events. 

Following  are  some  of  the  advantages  Gary  High 
School  is  now  able  to  offer :  one  of  the  most  sub- 
stantial high  school  buildings  in  the  State ;  sewerage 
and  water  in  the  building ;  bored  well  on  the  campus ; 
spacious  class  rooms  lighted  on  one  side  and  provided 
with  cabinets  built  into  the  walls ;  well-lighted  and 
ventilated  study  hall  seated  with  tablet-arm  chairs 
and  provided  with  individual  lockers  for  books,  tab- 
lets, etc. ;  an  auditorium  that  will  seat  eight  hundred 
or  more,  with  a  gallery  and  a  splendid  stage ;  gym- 
nasium, society  halls,  laboratories,  etc. ;  a  boys'  dormi- 
tory accommodating  sixty  boys,  with  water  and  baths ; 
a  girls'  dormitory  to  accommodate  thirty  or  more. 
-  The  school  is  widely  known  and  extensively  pat- 
ronized. The  last  report  of  the  State  Inspector  of 
High  Schools  shows  that  Cary  enrolled  more  high 
school  pupils  than  any  other  one  of  the  more  than 
two  hundred  State  High  Schools  now  in  operation. 

The  Farm  Life  School  which  was  established  last 
fall  as  a  department  of  the  High  School  is  now  well 
organized,  and,  in  usefulness  and  efficiency,  has  al- 
ready surpassed  the  expectations  of  its  promoters. 
There  were  over  30  girls  enrolled  in  the  classes  in 
Cooking  and  Sewing  and  over  20  boys  in  the  Shop 
Work  and  Agriculture. 


34  Cary  Public  High  School  and  Farm  Life  School 

A  unique  feature  of  the  last  commencement  was  the 
fact  that  the  young  ladies  of  the  graduating  class 
made  their  own  commencement  dresses,  in  the  Home 
Economics  Department  and  at  a  cost  of  only  95  cents. 

The  school  has  standing  with  the  colleges,  its  grad- 
uates being  admitted  on  certificate.  In  one  college 
alone,  a  few  years  ago,  there  were  enrolld  22  Cary 
High  School  graduates.  Three  years  ago  in  the  grad- 
uating class  of  one  of  the  leading  colleges  of  the  State 
seven  of  the  class  were  former  pupils  of  Cary  High 
School,  most  of  whom  graduated  "with  honor"  and  one 
or  two  "with  great  honor." 

Cary  is  an  ideal  place  for  a  boarding  school.  It 
has  most  of  the  conveniences  of  larger  towns  and  yet 
it  is  free  from  many  of  the  evils  incident  to  town  and 
city  life.  The  people  are  sober,  honest,  law-abiding, 
church-going.  They  are  thoroughly  devoted  to  the 
school  and  have  sacrificed  for  it  in  many  ways. 

The  Cary  High  School  is  putting  itself  in  line  with 
the  best  educational  thought  in  the  country  today, 
namely,  that  of  ministering  to  the  needs  of  the  people. 
North  Carolina  will  doubtless  remain  an  agricultural 
State.  It  is  imperative,  therefore,  that  agriculture  be 
taught  in  the  most  approved  and  systematic  way.  To 
this  end  no  pains  or  expense  have  been  spared  in 
equipping  the  school  to  teach  the  subjects  of  Agricul- 
ture and  Domestic  Science  in  a  really  effective  way. 
The  result  is  that  these  subjects  are  taught  here  by 
specially  trained  teachers  and  under  the  most  favor- 
able conditions — one  of  these  conditions  being  the 
school's  proximity  to  the  A.  and  M.  College,  which 
stands  ever  ready  to  lend  a  helping  hand  in  promot- 
ing agricultural  education  among  the  people.
