MANAGEMENT. 


Since  the  present  school  building  was  erected  by  the 
late  A.  F.  Page,  Gary  has]ever  striven  to^  have  a  good 
school,  but  at  no  time  in  her  history  have  the  citizens 
been  more  loyal  to  her  educational  interest  than  during 
the  last  five  years. 

The  School  is  under  the  control  of  the  best  citizens  of 
Cary.  They  showed  their  interest  by  investing  enough 
money  to  buy^the  property  and  equip  the  building.  Any 
lack  of  success  will  be  failure,  not  only  to  the  instruc- 
tors but  to  stockholders  and  directors  as  well.  We  feel 
that  with  such  concert  of  action  our  school  will  be  emi- 
nently successful.

To  the  Patrons  and  Friends  of  Cary  High  School: 

I  take  this  means  of  thanking  you  for  the  liberal  pat- 
ronage which  you  gave  us  during  the  four  and  a  half 
years  I  was  Priucipal  of  the  school;  also  for  your  many 
expressions  of  satisfaction  and  appreciation.  I  write 
now  to  urge  you  to  continue  your  support  of  the  school 
under  its  present  management.  It  is  worthy  of  your 
patronage.  I  knew  Professor  Sams  intimately  as  my 
associate  for  one  year  in  Cary.  He  profited  by  extended 
experience  as  Principal  of  Marsh  ville  Academy.  He  is 
a  strong  man — competent,  painstaking,  earnest  and  en- 
thusiastic in  his  work.  The  school  was  never  more  suc- 
cessful than  during  the  last  term  under  his  manage- 
ment. He  has  a  strong  corps  of  assistants.  As  Chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Directors,  I  shall  do  all  I  can  for  the 
best  interests  of  the  school.

flnnual  Announcement  and  Greeting. 


Another  year's  work  is  finished,  another  era  marked 
in  the  progress  of  Cary  High  School.  During  the  last 
year  we  enrolled  two  hundred  and  forty-eight  pupils, 
representing  seventeen  counties  in  North  Carolina,  and 
one  in  South  Carolina.  We  take  this  opportunity  of 
thanking  our  patrons,  one  and  all,  for  their  liberal  pat- 
ronage, kind  words,  and  expressions  of  satisfaction  with 
our  work.  The  people  of  our  town  and  community  have 
contributed  in  no  small  measure  towards  making  the 
School  what  it  is.  Others,  in  adjoining  counties  and 
beyond,  have  hoard  of  the  excellent  work  we  are  doing, 
and  as  a  result  of  this  seventy-seven  of  the  pupils  en- 
rolled last  year  were  boarders.  The  usefulness  of  this 
institution  is  only  begun,  its  resources  are  barely  open- 
ing. To  students  and  fellow-teachers  we  wish  to  extend 
hearty  thanks  for  their  excellent  deportment,  kind  and 
respectful  bearing,  and  faithful  work.  We  wish  for 
them  all  possible  success  and  confidently  hope  that  they 
may  be  staunch  supporters  of  the  School  in  their  several 
communities.  Progress  along  all  lines,  constant  and 
permanent  growth,  are  the  very  watchwords  of  this  in- 
stitution. As  teachers  and  pupils  and  friends  of  the 
School  we  look  longingly  and  with  great  expectation  to 
the  opening  of  the  next  term.  From  a  history  of  uni- 
form growth  and  permanent  progress,  we  look  to  a 
future  radiant  with  hope  and  rich  in  promises.

PATRONS  flND  PUPILS. 

Many  parents  and  a  very  large  part  of  their  chijdren 
do  not  realize  the  great  responsibility  they  put  upon 
school  principals  arid  teachers  when  boys  and  girls  are 
sent  from  home  to  attend  a  boarding  school.  There  is 
no  greater  crisis  in  anyone's  life,  and  we  try  to  impress 
this  fact  upon  all  pupils  on  entering  school.  We  appre- 
ciate the  patronage  given  us,  but  we  wish  to  be  plain 
with  all  patrons  for  the  future.  These  are  the  pupils 
we  want: 

(1)  Boys  who  realize  that  mental  force  is  superior  to 
physical  force.  Boys  of  good  habits  who  want  an  edu- 
cation and  are  willing  to  work  for  it.  Boys  who  see  the 
great  possibilities  lying  before  men  of  the  rising  genera- 
tion. 

(2)  Girls  who  realize  the  true  nobility  of  womanhood. 
Girls  who  are  willing  to  live  in  woman's  sphere  and 
work  faithfully  to  prepare  themselves  for  the  noble  call- 
ings now  open  to  women.  Girls  who  prefer  well- stored 
brains  and  countenances  beaming  with  intelligence  to 
servile  obedience  to  the  whims  of  fashion. 

Here  are  some  we  do  not  wrant : 

(1)  Boys  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-students,  teachers  and  landlords. 
Boys  who  are  habitual  grumblers  and  malcontents. 
Boys  who  wilfully  disobey  necessary  rules. 

(2)  Girls  who  are  unwilling  to   work  for  an  educa- 
tion.    Girls  who  will  risk  personal  character  and  that  of 
a  school  to  carry  their  point.     Girls  who  are  unwilling 
to  obey  rulesjnade  for  their  welfare  and  protection. 
^With  pupils  of  the  first  class  enrolled  and  of  the  latter 


Gary  High  School.  7 

excluded,  we  will  have  reached  our  ideals  regarding  our 
pupils.  We  say  these  things  in  the  interest  of  all  who 
have  the  proper  conceptions  of  an  education.  These  are 
the  patrons  we  want.  Parents  who  are  willing  to  co- 
operate with  us  in  our  work.  Those  who  have  the  cour- 
age to  see  and  write  to  teachers  regarding  any  dissatis- 
faction rather  than  break  a  contract _'t or  backbite  and 
malign  a  worthy  institution.  Those  who  honor  a  con- 
tract with  a  school-teacher  as  much  as  one  with  a  grocer. 

LOCATION. 

Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desirability  of  the 
locatiou.  It  is  both  healthful  and  beautiful.  The  moral 
atmosphere  of  the  town  of  Gary  could  not  be  excelled  in 
the  State.  The  society  in  the  town  will  be  elevating  and 
stimulating  to  the  youth  that  will  attend  the  Institu- 
tion. 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.  It  is 
far  removed  from  the  malarial  regions,  with  pure,  cold 
well-water  in  abundance  as  the  beverage  of  the  people. 
The  town  was  chartered  dry,  and  is  fortified  against  the 
possibility  of  alcoholic  drinks  ever  being  sold  in  or  near  it. 

RELIGIOUS    INFLUENCES.!  £*— ■ . 

The  School  is  not  under  the  control  of  any  religious 
denomination,  but  is  essentially  a  Christian  School.  The 
Directors  have  always  pursued  the  policy  of  having  the 
teachers  as  equally  divided  as  possible  among  the  de- 
nominations represented  by  the  patrons  of  the  School. 
Nothing  of  a  sectarian  nature  is  tolerated  in  the  School, 
but  a  broad  and  liberal  Christian  spirit  is  encouraged. 
Outside  of  the  ministry  there  is  no  class  of  people  in  a 
position  to  do  so  much  for  the  upbuilding  of  God's  king- 


8  Gary  High  School. 

dom  as  teachers.  They  have  pupils  under  their  control 
when  the  character  is  being  formed  and  impressions  for 
life  are  being  made  on  their  hearts  and  minds.  We  be- 
lieve Christ  can  be  taught  in  the  school-room  from,  the 
Bible,  from  nature,  and  from  history. 

We  have  devotional  exercises  in  the  School  every 
morning.  There  are  two  churches  in  Gary — a  Metho- 
dist and  a  Baptist — and  a  mission  of  the  Episcopal 
church,  with  preaching  each  month.  We  have  preach- 
ing every  Sunday.  All  boarding  pupils  will  be  expected 
to  attend  the  services  of  one  or  all  of  these  churches. 

BUILDINGS  fIND  GROUNDS. 

In  the  most  beautiful  situation  that  could  be  found  in 
the  village  are  four  acres  of  land  that  comprise  the 
School  grounds.  These  are  well  shaded  by  a  grove  of 
oaks. 

During  the  last  two  years  four  excellent  music  rooms 
have  been  built,  and  the  main  building  extended  fifty 
feet  in  the  rear  two  stories  high.  We  now  have  five 
excellent  well  lighted  class-rooms  on  the  first  floor.  All 
of  these  can  be  readily  turned  into  an  auditorium  large 
enough  to  seat  eight  hundred  people. 
^On  the  second  floor  are  nice  dormitories  for  twenty- 
four  young  men.  Adjoining  the  School  grounds  is  a 
suitable  boarding-house  where  boys  who  room  in  the 
dormitories  can  get  table  fare  at  actual  cost.  These  im- 
provements have  given  us  far  better  boarding  facilities, 
an.d  also  provided  us  with  more  convenient  and  commo- 
dious class-rooms.  The  entire  buildiug  is  furnished  with 
attractive  and  comfortable  furniture.  The  class-rooms 
have  excellent  charts,  maps  and  globe.  The  music 
rooms  are  furnished  with  three  pianos  and  another  will 
be  purchased  before  the  next  term  opens.  The  old  pianos 
will  be  completely  renovated  during  vacation.

LITERARY  SOCIETIES. 

The  Clay  Society  for  young  men  and  the  Browning- 
Society  for  girls  meet  once  a  week  for  exercises  in  de- 
hate,  composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  re- 
quired 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  overesti- 
mated. 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  richer  harvest. 

The  exercises  at  our  last  commencement  bear  testi- 
mony to  the  fact  that  the  work  of  these  societies  is 
second  to  no  school  of  like  grade  in  the  State.  We  be- 
lieve the  boys  and  girls  need  the  supervision  of  teachers 
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  Princi- 
pal does  not  hesitate  to  make  or  unmake  regulations 
when  in  his  judgment  the  best  interests  of  the  societies 
demand  it.  Many  well  trained  boys  and  girls  have  gone 
out  from  this  school  as  living  witnesses  of  excellent 
society  work.  In  selecting  a  school  the  question  of  Lit- 
erary Societies  should  be  a  very  weighty  consideration. 

LIBRARY. 

When  our  School  was  organized  under  its  present 
management  we  had  no  books,  yet  by  the  aid  of  the 
Directors,  friends,  and  faithful  effort  on  the  part  of  the 
teachers  about  three  hundred  volumes   have  been   col- 


10  Cary  High  School. 

lected.  The  students  show  a  marked  interest  in  read- 
ing. Every  volume  is  carefully  selected,  and  nothing 
save  literature  of  the  highest  order  will  be  allowed  on 
our  shelves.  Reference  to  our  course  in  English  will  give 
some  idea  of  the  work  required  of  our  advanced  pupils 
We  have  many  volumes  of  carefully  selected  biography, 
history,  addresses,  etc.  We  have  a  part  of*  the  work  of 
such  novelists  and  poets  as  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper,  Ten- 
nyson, Longfellow,  etc.  Literature  is  provided  for  all 
pupils,  and  primary  and  intermediate  pupils  show  a 
marked  interest  in  reading. 

LECTURES. 

The  management  is  always  anxious  to  do  all  possible 
for  the  profit  and  pleasure  of  the  School  and  community. 
We  are  peculiarly  proud  of  our  lecture  course.  The  good 
done  by  this  can  not  be  estimated.  The  large  audiences 
present  showed  the  appreciation  of  our  community. 

During  the  past  sessions  we  have  had  practical  and 
entertaining  lectures  from  Hon.  Ohas  H.  Mebane,  Mr. 
Josephus  Daniels,  Dr.  L.  G.  Broughton,  Prof.  W.  L. 
Poteat,  Prof.  Edwin  Minis,  Rev.  G.  W.  Greene,  Prof. 
Jerome  Dowd  and  other  men  of  rare  ability  and  promi- 
nence. This  work  will  be  a  distinctive  feature  during  the 
coming  year.  Several  engagements  for  the  ensuing  ses- 
sion will  be  announced  in  due  time. 

TEACHERS. 

From  the  organization  of  the  School  it  has  been  the 
policy  of  the  Directors  to  employ  teachers  of  acknowl- 
edged ability  and  experience,  and  the  best  preparation 
the  colleges  of  North  Carolina  can  give. 

The  Principal  has  taught  four  years  consecutively,  and 
has  improved  every  opportunity   for  giving  his  pupils 


Cary  High  School.  11 

the  benefit  of  advanced  and  progressive  methods  in  edu- 
cation. He  can  produce  endorsements  from  patrons  and 
pupils  in  all  his  work,  which  bear  testimony  to  his  thor- 
oughness of  instruction,  faithfulness  and  enthusiasm  in 
his  work,  and  his  judicious  and  successful  management 
of  school  affairs. 

Mr.  J.  R.  Conley  comes  uiost  heartily  recommended 
by  the  President  and  various  Professors  of  our  State 
University,  and  other  men  of  distinction  who  have  had 
long  acquaintance  with  him.  Having  educated  himself 
with  a  view  to  teaching  he  has  completed  a  thorough 
course  in  pedagogy.  Mr.  Conley  will  room  in  the  dor- 
mitory in  order  to  insure  correct  conduct  and  studious 
habits  among  the  boys. 

Miss  Lily  N.  Jones  has  taught  consecutively  for  nine 
years  and  has  made  a  special  study  of  primary  work. 
Her  tact,  patience,  knowledge  of  children  and  influence 
among  the  girls,  together  with  her  broad  culture,  ren- 
der her  an  indispensable  factor  in  the  management  of  our 
School.  She  is  eminently  competent  to  teach  the  ad- 
vanced classes  assigned  to  her. 

Miss  Lula  F.  Tisdale  has  the  highest  possible  endorse- 
ments from  her  former  instructors  in  music,  elocution 
and  voice  culture.  The  Principal  of  the  School  in  which 
she  has  been  employed  writes  as  follows :  ' '  Miss  Tisdale's 
work  has  given  perfect  satisfaction  to  all  parties.  As 
evidence  of  this  she  has  been  solicited  to  return.  She 
is  an  accomplished  elocutionist,  a  skillful  pianist  and  a 
faithful  instructor.  She  possesses  an  inherent  love  for 
music  and  inspires  her  pupils  with  this  same  devotion. 
She  is  a  charming  lady  of  most  engaging  manners.  She 
makes  friends  of  all  whom  she  meets,  and  her  pupils 
are  devoted  to  her.  She  is  a  careful,  patient  and  thor- 
oughly competent  teacher." 

Additional  teaching  force  will  be  employed  whenever 


12  Gary  High  School. 

the  patronage  demands  it.  Another  teacher  was  em- 
ployed for  full  time  daring  the  larger  part  of  last  year. 
Arrangements  are  now  being  made  for  the  employment 
of  a  teacher  of  Vocal  Music,  though  definite  announce- 
ments can  not  yet  be  made. 

DEPARTMENTS. 

By  referring  to  our  course  of  study,  it  can  be  seeu  we 
have  four  distinct  departments — Primary,  Intermediate, 
Academic  and  High  School.  No  pupil  will  be  confined 
to  auy  one  department,  but  will  be  advanced  in  his  sev- 
eral studies  wheuever  they  have  been  satisfactorily 
completed. 

All  pupils  in  the  Primary  and  Intermediate  Depart- 
ments sit  in  the  same  room,  but  all  above  these  depart- 
ments are  under  the  supervision  of  the  male  teachers  — 
the  girls  in  one  room  and  the  boys  in  another  Boys  and 
girls  also  have  separate  playgrounds  and  boarding  places. 

EXAMINATIONS  ^ND  REPORTS. 

Written  examinations  are  required  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  ucrararned,'  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. 

The  reports  are  sent  at  the  end  of  each  ten  weeks 
We  keep  all  parents  informed  regarding  the  scholarship, 
deportment  and  attendance  of  choir  children. 

HONORS  AND  CERTIFICATES. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor  Roll  is  posted. 
To  be  entitled  to  a  place  on  this  a  pupil  must  make  an 


Gary  High  School.  13 

average  of  92.5  on  scholarship,  95  on  attendance,  and 
excellent  deportment.  To  be  on  the  annual  Honor  Eoll 
a  pupil  must  have  been  on  all  the  quarterly  Rolls  of 
Honor. 

A  handsome  gold  medal  has  been  offered  to  the  pupil 
in  the  Academic  or  High  School  Department  making  the 
highest  scholarship  during  next  year.  To  compete  for 
this  a  pupil  mast  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of 
the  year. 

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

Certificates  of  proficiency  will  be  given  in  English, 
Mathematics,  Latin,  French,  History  and  Music,  pro- 
vided the  pupil  completing  either  of  these  courses  shall 
have  made  an  average  scholarship  of  85. 

SCHOLARSHIPS. 

The  Directors  have  secured  scholarships  from  the  fol- 
lowing institutions:  Wake  Forest  College,  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Oxford  Female  Seminary,  Eastern  Nor- 
mal College,  the  Charlotte  Presbyterian  College  for 
Women,  and  Claremont  College. 

The  above  scholarships  are  worth  from  $40  to  $60 
each.  In  order  to  be  entitled  to  a  scholarship  the  appli- 
cant must  be  prepared  to  enter  college  classes,  and  must 
have  been  a  student  of  Gary  High  School  for  at  least 
one  year.  Other  conditions  of  award  will  be  announced 
later. 

METHODS  OF  INSTRUCTION. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in  view — to  teach 
pupils  to  be  observant  of  what  they  see,  judicious  in 
what  they  do,  and  logical  in  what  thev  say.  For  a 
teacher  to  educate  a  pupil  he  must  lead  him  and  not 


li  Cary  High  School. 

drive  him,  draw  oat  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour 
in  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  re- 
finement, and  those  which  will  prepare  young  men  and 
women  for  the  active  duties  of  life. 

In  the  Primary,  Intermediate  and  Academic  depart- 
ments all  pains  are  taken  in  laying  good  foundations  for 
all  future  work,  whether  in  business,  in  High  School  or 
College.  Constant  and  thorough  drills  are  given  in 
Spelling,  Reading  and  Writing.  In  English  Grammar 
all  are  trained  in  the  correct  use  of  the  language  by 
class  drill  and  frequent  exercises  in  written  work.  Oral 
work  is  emphasized  in  arithmetic,  but  all  necessary  at- 
tention is  given  to  written  work. 

It  is  our  aim  in  all  branches  of  study  to  magnify  the 
practical  part.  The  student  should  be  taught  to  reason 
from  cause  to  effect  and  as  far  as  possible  make  practi- 
cal applications  of  every  lesson  imparted.  The  teacher 
in  history  and  geography  who  merely  requires  his  pupils 
to  memorize  dates  and  learn  the  location  of  cities  and 
rivers,  makes  dull  and  unprofitable  that  which  might  as 
easily  be  made  the  most  interesting  and  important  studies 
in  connection  with  the  ordinary  high  school  course.  In 
all  our  work  we  are  not  sticklers  for  rules.  We  first 
teach  pupils  to  reason:  they  can  afterwards  find  or  make 
rules.  Our  methods  of  instruction  are  varied  in  all 
branches  of  study  with  the  purpose  of  arousing  and 
holding  a  live  interest  in  the  work.  Students  must  be 
interested.  Any  settled  method  of  instruction  will  in 
time  become  more  or  less  monotonous  and  fall  short  of 
the  best  results. 

In  answer  to  considerable  demands,  we  have  arranged 
to  give  instruction  in  Shorthand  and   Typewriting.     A 


Cary  High  School.  15 

study  of  this  department  will  not  only  furnish  excellent 
means  for  mental  development,  but  also  afford  practical 
information  that  may  prove  very  profitable. 

We  teach  the  Pernin  System  of  Shorthand. 

In  connection  with  our  course  in  Mental  and  Written 
Arithmetic,  we  also  offer  a  short  and  very  practical  course 
in  Bookkeeping. 

METHODS  IN   HIGH  SCHOOL. 

The  same  end  is  aimed  at  in  this  department  as  in  the 
lower  grades,  but  we  make  our  plans  more  specific. 
Mathematics  —  Arithmetic  is  reviewed  and  completed. 
We  give  two  years  in  Algebra  and  one  year  in  Geometry. 
No  work  is  more  essential  in  developing  minds  of  boys 
and  girls  than  that  of  these  studies.  We  try  to  make 
this  work  helpful  and  interesting  by  magnifying  the 
practical  features  as  far  as  possible. 

Languages. — No  mental  drill  is  superior  to  that  de- 
rived from  the  study  of  the  Languages.  In  addition  to 
this,  they  give  us  a  greater  appreciation  of  our  own 
language.  It  requires  pupils  three  years  to  take  our 
course  in  Latin.  We  require  pupils  to  master  the  forms 
by  constant  drill  in  written  and  oral  work.  They  have 
almost  daily  exercises  in  Latin  composition  at  the  black- 
board, and  exercises  to  be  handed  to  teacher  to  be  cor- 
rected. We  insist  on  pupils  trying  to  get  the  spirit  as 
well  as  the  sense  of  all  classics  read.  Daily  exercises 
are  required  in  parsing  and  analysis.  Our  course  will 
prepare  pupils  to  enter  any  of  our  colleges.  We  give 
one  year  in  French.  The  course  includes  KeeteVs  Ele- 
mentary Grammar,  Conversation,  Super's  Reader,  and 
Le  Petit  Chose  (Daudet).  Our  purpose  is  to  reach  a 
thorough  understanding  of  the  grammar  of  the  language. 

Written     exercises     and     compositions    are    required 


16  Cary  High  School. 

throughout  the  course.     Conversation  is  given  so  far  as- 
practicable. 

Science. — We  lose  many  of  the  real  pleasures  of  life 
by  not  being  able  to  see  the  God  of  nature  in  the  field 
and  forest.  We  try  to  get  tne  pupil  interested  in  nature, 
and  then  let  him  tell  and  reason  about  what  he  sees. 
We  can  find  in  nature  a  great  storehouse  of  knowledge, 
which  is  ever  ready  to  give  to  us  of  its  bounties.  We 
use  Paul  Bert's  "Science  Primer,,  and  his  "First  Steps 
in  Scientific  Knowledge."  We  give,  in  addition  to 
this,  lectures  and  field  work  in  Botany,  and  a  regular 
course  in  Physiology.  We  hope  to  have  a  demand  for 
more  extended  work  in  General  Biology,  Astronomy, 
etc.,  during  the  coming  year. 

English. — Realizing  the  absolute  necessity  of  thor- 
ough training  in  English,  we  have  given  this  branch  a 
conspicuous  place  in  our  course  of  study.  The  course 
has  been  materially  chauged  for  the  coming  year.  A 
year  and  a  half  will  be  given  to  the  study  of  English 
Grammar,  the  last  five  months  of  which  Maris'  Normal 
Grammar  will  be  used  The  same  length  of  time  will 
be  given  to  the  study  of  Elementary  Rhetoric,  using 
Lockwood's  Lessons  in  English  and  Raub's  Rhetoric. 
There  will  be  two  recitations  a  week  given  to  the  study 
of  English  Classics  and  Composition  work. 

The  following  list,  or  its  equivalent,  is  prescribed  for 
next  year: 

First  Year. — Sketch  Book  (selections)  and  Arabian 
Nights  on  class,  and  Voices  of  the  Night  and  Tales  of 
the  White  Hills  as  parallel  reading. 

Second  Year. — 1.  The  Deserted  Village;  u2.  The 
Ancient  Mariner ;  d.  Addison's  Sir  Roger  DeCoverly ; 
4.  Macaulay's  Essay  on  Addison,  on  class.  1.  Enoch 
Ardeu  ;  (2.  Cooper's  Last  of  the  Mohicans ;  3.  Lady  of 
the  Lake;  4-  Sohrab  and  Rustum ;  5.  Irving' 's  Alham- 
bra,  as  parallel  reading. 


Cary  High  School.  17 

Third  Year. — 1.  Modern  Painters;  2.  Macbeth;  3. 
Milton's  Comus,  U Allegro*  and  II  Penseroso ;  4-  Mac- 
aulay's  Essay  on  Milton;  5.  Ancient  Mariner,  in  class. 
1:  Vicar  of  Wakefield;  2.  Merchant  of  Venice ;  3.  Silas 
Maimer ;  4-  Ivanhoe,  as  parallel  reading. 

All  pupils  in  the  second  and  third  years  will  be  re- 
quired to  write  two  abstracts  on  the  parallel  reading. 

ELOCUTION. 

Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere  pastime 
study.  The  eyes  of  the  people,  even  in  our  conservative 
South,  have  been  opened  to  see  not  only  the  beauty  and 
grandeur,  hut  the  practical  importance  of  true  expres- 
sion. 

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. 

Our  teacher  in  this  department  is  specially  trained  for 
the  work  and  has  demonstrated  by  results  that  she  is 
fully  capable  of  training  others  in  this  much  needed  art.

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. 

Ministerial  students  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  and  the  sons  and  daughters  of  ministers,  re- 
ceive 50  per  cent  discount  from  the  regular  rates  of  lit- 
erary tuition. 

A  discount  of  10  per  cent  is  given  to  all  parents  send- 
ing three  or  more  pupils  or  those  whose  quarterly  bills 
aggregate  $20.00  or  more. 

Any  special  arrangements  desired  must  be  made  on 


22  Cary  High  School. 

or  before  the  entrance  of  the  pupils.  The  grading  will 
be  based  on  the  course  of  study.  Pupils  having  two  or 
more  studies  in  the  High  School  Department  will  be 
charged  the  rates  of  this  department.  In  other  cases 
the  rates  will  be  in  the  department  in  which  the  pupil 
has  the  most  studies. 

BOARD. 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrangements  have 
been  made  for  all  pupils  desiring  board.  Many  of  the 
best  Christian  homes  iu  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  of 
groceries.  These  charges  cover  all  expenses  except 
washing,  but  each  pupil  will  be  expected  to  furnish  a 
pair  of  blankets  or  two  quilts,  a  pair  of  sheets  and  pil- 
low-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  monthly. 

Mrs.  C.  A.  Wood  as  Matron  will  preside  over  the  stu- 
dents' home  adjoining  the  school  grounds,  and  good, 
substantial  table  fare  will  be  furnished  at  actual  cost. 
It  is  estimated  that  the  cost  will  not  exceed  $5.00  or 
$6.00  per  month,  and  perhaps  less.  Professor  Conley 
will  board  with  the  boys  and  room  in  the  Dormitory. 

Unfurnished  rooms  in  the  Dormitory  are  rented  for 
50  cents  a  month;  rooms  furnished  with  bedstead,  mat- 
tress, two  chairs,  table  and  lamp  are  rented  for  75  cents 
a  month.  Other  furniture  may  be  had  for  little  addi- 
tional cost. 

The  following  prices  are  for  the  school  month  of  four 


Cary  High  School.  23 

weeks  unless  private  arrangements  have  been  made  with 
the  landlady:  r 

Board  in  private  families  -  $7.00  to  $7.50  per  month. 
Board  from  Monday  till  Friday  -  -  4.50  per  month. 
Board  at  Walker  Hotel         -     -  8.00  per  month. 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

1.  The  Principal  has  selected  text-books  by  standard 
authors,  and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use  books 
mentioned  in  the  courses  of  study,  except  when  it  is  to 
the  interest  of  the  pupil  for  the  teacher  in  charge  to  or- 
der a  change.  Several  changes  will  very  likely  be  made 
during  the  ensuing  year.  In  the  Public  School  Course 
it  is  our  purpose  to  use,  as  far  as  we  can  with  consist- 
ency, the  text-books  adopted  by  our  State  Board  of 
Education. 

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

3.  We  urge  all  parents  to  enter  pupils  at  the  begin- 
ning of  term.  Late  entrance  is  injurious  to  pupils  and 
school. 

4.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  causes.  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  busi- 
ness engagements. 

5.  Students  are  not  allowed  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. 

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


24  Cary  High  School. 

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  on  matriculating  pledge  themselves  to 
obey  and  uphold  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  School. 
All  who  are  not  willing  to  do  this  are  urged  to  stay  at 
home.  No  regulations  are  made  except  for  the  moral, 
mental  and  religious  welfare  of  the  pupils  and  the 
school.

For  a  part  of  the  year  the  Public  School  was  taught 
with,  the  High  School,  but  an  additional  teacher  was 
employed  and  the  largest  classes  were  divided,  and  no 
change  was  made  in  the  length  of  recitation  periods  in 
classes  above  the  Primary  Department.  Our  attendance, 
when  the  Public  School  was  not  in  session,  was  from 
eighty-five  to  one  hundred  and  ten.

III.     A   Foreword. 

Six  years  ago  this  school  was  an  experiment.  This 
community  has  ever  striven  to  have  a  good  school, 
but  no  permanent  management  had  ever  been  se- 
cured. The  present  Principals  have  been  connected 
with  the  school  during  this  period,  and  now  unite 
their  efforts  in  building  up  a  larger  and  better  school. 
The  property  has  been  leased  for  a  term  of  years. 
Before  the  Fall  Term,  the  building  will  be  completely 
renovated  and  the  furniture  improved.  The  school 
has  employed  the  most  expensive  and  best-equipped 
faculty  in  its  history.  The  experimental  stage  has 
passed.  Directors,  stockholders,  principals  and  pa- 
trons expect  a  liberal  increase  in  patronage,  and  the 
most  excellent  work  ever  done  by  the  school. 

Our  catalogue  shows  the  smallest  enrollment  for 
six  years.  Last  year  the  public  school  was  taught  in 
the  public  school  building  instead  of  being  taught  in 
connection  with  this  school.  Our  pupils  came  from 
a  larger  territory  than  ever  before,  and  the  school 
was  entirely  successful.  The  usefulness  of  this  insti* 
tution  is  only  begun,  its  resource's  are  barely  open- 
ing. To  students  and  fellow-teachers  we  wish  to  ex- 
tend hearty  thanks  for  their  excellent  deportment, 
kind  and  respectful  bearing,  and  faithful  work.  We 
wish  for  them  all  possible  success,  and  confidently 
hope  that  they  may  be  staunch  supporters  of  the 
school  in  their  several  communities.  Progress  along 
all  lines  is  tne  watchword  of  this  institution.  As 
teachers  and  pupils  and  friends  of  the  school,  we  look 
longingly  with  great  expectation  to  the  opening  of 
tne  next  term.  From  a  history  of  uniform  growth 
and  permanent  progress,  we  look  to  a  future  radiant 
with  hope  and  rich  in  promises. 


8  CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL. 

IV.     Who  We  Are. 

1.  E.  L.  Middleton. — For  eleven  and  a  half  years  he 
taught  successfully  in  the  public  and  private  schools 
of  this  State.  After  a  long  service  with  this  school, 
he  was  released  by  the  Directors,  but  was  unani- 
mously recalled  to  his  old  work.  For  a  year  and  a 
half  he  has  had  a  fine  opportunity  for  studying  meth- 
ods and  plans  in  the  best  schools  in  the  South.  He 
knows  more  of  the  possibilities  of  his  work  and  the 
means  of  attaining  the  most  desirable  ends  in  edu- 
cation. He  returns  with  enlarged  views,  renewed 
zeal  and  greater  enthusiasm  for  his  work. 

2.  A.  F.  Sams. — For  five  years  he  has  taught  in  the 
schools  at  Marshville  and  Cary.  No  opportunity  has 
been  lost  for  giving  his  pupils  the  benefit  of  advanced 
and  progressive  methods  in  education.  He  can  pro- 
duce endorsements  from  patrons  and  pupils  in  all 
his  work,  which  bear  testimony  to  his  thoroughness 
of  instruction,  faithfulness  and  enthusiasm  in  his 
work,  and  his  judicious  and  successful  management 
of  school  affairs. 

3.  Lily  N.  Jones. — The  school  is  very  fortunate  in 
retaining  the  services  of  such  a  teacher.  She  has 
taught  consecutively  for  ten  years,  and  has  made  a 
special  study  of  primary  work.  Her  tact,  patience, 
knowledge  of  children  and  influence  among  the  girls, 
together  with  her  broad  culture,  render  her  an  indis- 
pensable factor  in  tne  management  of  our  school 
She  is  eminently  competent  to  teach  the  advanced 
classes  assigned  to  her. 

4.  Hazel  Irene  Waddell. —  We  feel  we  have  acted 
wisely  in  securing  the  services  of  Miss  Waddell.  She 
is  a  full  graduate  in  literary  departments  and  music, 
and  has  had  a  three  years'  course  in  elocution.     Her 


CAKY   HIGH  SCHOOL.  9 

work  in  teaching  music  and  elocution  has  heen  pre- 
eminently successful.  She  is  a  woman  of  broad  cul- 
ture and  refinement.  She  performs  elegantly,  sings 
sweetly,  and  recites  with  ease  and  grace.  She  will 
add  great  strength  to  our  faculty. 

5.  Julia  a.  albea. — Miss  Albea  is  a  full  graduate 
in  two  fine  arts — Music  and  Art.  She  pursued  these 
studies  because  she  loved  both.  She  has  had  exten- 
sive and  valuable  experience  in  teaching  art.  She 
is  such  a  woman  as  will  stimulate  pupils  to  the 
highest  endeavors  in  their  school  work  and  create 
within  them  a  desire  for  the  noblest  living.  She  is 
an  indefatiguable  worker  in  whatever  she  undertakes. 

6.  Lucy  D.  Reavis. — No  one  is  more  favorably 
known  to  the  citizens  of  Gary  and  our  former  pupils 
than  Miss  Reavis.  She  took  her  business  course  un- 
der Miss  Lizzie  Lee,  of  St.  Mary's  College,  Raleigh, 
N.  C.  Sne  has  taught  private  lessons  for  six  years, 
and  has  been  successful  in  her  work. 

V.     What  We  Want. 
Who  are  willing  to  co-operate  with  us 

1.  Patrons  in    our    work.     Those    who    have    the 

courage  to  see  and  write  to  teachers 
regarding  any  dissatisfaction  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  supe- 

2.  Boys  rior  to  physical  force.     Boys  of  good 

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

The  school  is  not  under  the  control  of

thoroughly  permeated  with  the  spirit 

of  Christianity.  Only  teachers  of  recognized  charac- 
ter are  employed,  and  students  of  every  denomination, 
or  of  no  church  affiliations  are  received  on  equal 
grounds  in  all  respects.lt  is  our  policy  to  divide  the 
teachers  as  equally  as  possible  among  the  denomina- 
tions 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  possible,  the  wholesome  influence  of  a  Chris- 
tian   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  devo- 
tional exercises.  Gary  has  a  Methodist  and  Baptist 
church,  and  a  mission  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  with 
regular  services  at  each.  Pupils  are  required  to  at- 
tend the  services  of  at  least  one  of  these  churches, 
and  are  expected  to  attend  Sunday  School  regularly.

Maod.  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 
ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  class-room  and 
in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end,  we  have 
a  beautiful  tennis  court  and  baseball  grounds,  and  stu- 
dents are  encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor  exer- 
cise. The  Principals  take  active  part  in  training 
teams  for  their  contests,  and  their  presence  on  the 
play-grounds  is  a  source  of  enthusiasm  as  well  as 
moral  influence  among  the  boys.  To  further  encour- 
age athletics,  the  14th  day  of  November  is  set  apart 
for  Field  Day  exercises.  These  exercises  will  be  held 
on  our  athletic  grounds  and  a  handsome  prize  awarded 
to  the  best  all-round  athlete. 

_   _  In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in 

3.  For  the 

i_,ead  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  and  not  drive 
him,  draw  out  his  mental  powers  rather  than  pour  in 
a  heterogenous  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 


12  CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL. 

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  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 
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  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. 

VII.     Where  We  flre  arjd  What  We  Have 

Too  much  could  not  be  said  of  the  desi- 
I.  Location.         rability    of    the    location.     It    is    both 

healthful  and  beautiful.  The  moral  at- 
mosphere of  the  town  of  Cary  could  not  be  excelled 
in  the  State.  The  society  in  the  town  will  be  elevat- 
ing and  stimulating  to  the  youth  that  will  attend  tne 
institution.  No  better  railroad  facilities  could  be 
furnished  in  the  State — just  at  the  junction  of  the 
Seaboard  ana  Southern  Railways,  eight  miles  west  of 
Raleigh.  It  is  far  removed  from  the  malarial  re- 
gions, with  pure,  cold  well-water  in  abundance  as  the 
beverage  of  the  people.  The  town  was  chartered  dry, 
and  is  fortified  against  the  possibility  of  alcoholic 
drinks  ever  being  soid  in  or  near  it.

2.  Buildings.       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 — a  society  hall,  reading-room,  library  and 
four  music-rooms.  On  the  second  floor  are  rooms  for 
the  matron,  a  dining-hall  and  dormitories  for  sixteen 
boys.  During  the  present  vacation,  additional  build- 
ing is  to  be  done,  and  the  entire  plant  embellished. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with 

3.  Equipment,     suitable  furniture  and  equipment.  Tne 

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

VIII.     Generol  Culture. 

The  Clay  Society  for  young  men  and 
I.  Literary 

Societies.  *ne  Browning  Society  for  girls  meet 
once  a  week  for  exercises  in  debate, 
composition  and  elocution.  All  members  are  re- 
quired 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  overesti- 
mated. 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  har- 
vest. We  believe  the  boys  and  girls  need  the  super- 
vision of  teachers  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  unmake  regulations  when  in  their  judgment  the 
best  interests  of  the  societies  demand  it.  Many  well- 
trained  boys  and  girls  have  gone  out  from  this  school 
as  living  witnesses  of  excellent  society  work. 

A  library  of  400  volumes  has  been  col- 

2.  Library.  le'cted,  to  which  additions  are  constant- 

ly being  made.  Every  volume  is  care- 
fully examined,  and  nothing  except  literature  of  high 
oraer  is  allowed  on  our  shelves.  We  have  many  vol- 
umes of  biography,  history,  addresses,  together  with 
the  prose  and  poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Coop- 
er, Tennyson,  Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne, 
Bacon,  and  otners.

ture of  our  work.  Many  distin- 
guished educators  and  leading  men  in  other  profes- 
sions have  entertained  and  greatly  benefitted  us  by 
timely  ana  practical  addresses.  Our  student  body 
looks  forward  to  these  occasions  with  much  interest, 
and  the  large  audiences  from  the  town  and  commu- 
nity show  that  they  are  generally  appreciated.  We 
have  already  secured  promises  from  many  prominent 
lecturers  for  the  coming  session.

IX.     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  col- 
lege, 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  hon- 
oring themselves.  During  last  year  we  had  thirty- 
one  former  pupils  in  the  following  institutions:  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina,  Trinity  College,  Wake  For- 
est College,  A.  and  M.  College,  Elon  College,  Asheville 
Normal  College,  N.  C.  Normal  and  Industrial  College, 
Greensboro  Female  College,  Oxford  Female  Seminary 
and  Baptist  Female  University.  This  does  not  include 
several  of  our  students  who  went  directly  from  our 
school  to  professional  schools.  Several  of  our  stu- 
dents at  these  colleges  have  graduated  magna  cum, 
laude. 

X.     Scholarships. 

The  Directors  have  secured  scholarships  from  the 
following  institutions:  Wake  Forest  College,  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina,  Oxford  Female  Seminary, 
Eastern  Normal  College,  the  Charlotte  Presbyterian 
College    for    women,    and    Claremont    College. 

The  above  scholarships  are  worth  from  ?40  to  $60 
each.  In  order  to  be  entitled  to  a  scholarship,  the 
applicant  must  be  prepared  to  enter  college  classes, 
and  must  have  been  a  student  of  Cary  High  School  for 
at  least  one  year.  Other  conditions  of  award  will  be 
announcea  later.

XI.     Record  of  Work.. 

Educators  are  not  agreed  as  to  how 
I    Examioa- 

tioos  often    or    how    difficult    examinations 

shouid  be.  We  require  written  exam- 
inations 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 
wnat  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 

2.  Reports.  weeks.     We  keep  all  parents  informed 

regarding  the  scholarship,  deportment 
and  attendance  of  their  children. 

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.  Low  marks  are  not 
necessarily  a  sign  01  poor  work.  A  poor  mark  on 
deportment  needs  immediate  attention. 

At  the  end  of  each  quarter  an  Honor 

3.  Honors.  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 
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  schol- 
arship during  next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a 
pupil  must  be  present  to  receive  ail  the  reports  of  the 
year. 

Prizes  will  also  be  awarded  for  excellence  in  de- 
bate, essay-writing,  declamation  and  recitation.

XII.     Special   Departments, 

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a 
Music  necessity  to  a  civilized  people.     It  is 

the  most  extensively  cultivated  and 
the  most  generally  appreciated  of  all  the  fine  arts. 
A  thorougn  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  mu- 
sic that  comes  from  such  a  course  of  study,  and  be- 
cause 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  knowl- 
edge of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a 
Elocutioo-  mere  pastime  study.     The  eyes  of  the 

people,  even  in  our  conservative  South, 
have  been  opened  to  see  not  only  the  beauty  and 
grandeur,  but  tne  practical  importance  or  true  ex- 
pression. 

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  uody. 

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  ref- 
erence to  the  meaning  to  be  conveyed.  Expression 
also  teaches  Self-Control,  Ease,  Polish,  Address,  Flu- 
ency, etc. 


l8  CARY  HIGH  SCHOOL- 

In  this  department  the  pupil  is  taught 
frt-  drawing  from  model  and  object;  cray- 

on, including  portraits,  pastel  and 
oil  painting.  It  is  much  better  to  study  drawing  be- 
fore painting,  as  it  enables  the  pupil  to  shade  and 
sketch  with  much  less  trouble'.  The  study  of  art 
trains  the  eye  and  makes  one  a  very  close  observer  of 
nature,  thereby  training  the  mind.  It  also  enables 
one  to  beautify  the  home  at  a  very  small  cost. 

T  ,       ,  ...  In  answer  to  considerable  demands,  we 

Typewriting 

and  have   arranged  to  give  instruction  in 

'  en°arap  y-  Shorthand  and  Typewriting.  A  study 
of  these  departments  not  only  furnish  excellent 
means  for  mental  development,  but  also  affords 
practical  information  which  may  prove  very  profit- 
able. By  a  knowledge  of  these  arts,  many  ener- 
getic boys  and  girls  are  working  their  way  through 
higher  institutions  of  learning.  We  use  the  Isaac 
Pittman  System  of  Shorthand.  As  texts  we  will  use 
liis  Twentieth  Century  Complete  Phonographic  In- 
structor, The  Twentieth  Century  Dictation  Book,  and 
Nos.  1  and  2  Business  Letter  Book. 

For  practice  work  in  Typewriting,  we  will  use  a 
standard  typewriter. 

The  policy  of  the  school  is  to  make  no 
BooKkeeping.  promises  that  are  not  kept.  We  have 
no  separate  department  for  this  study. 
Too  many  boys  and  girls  are  being  misled  by  inducing 
them  to  take  a  business  course  before  their  mental  de- 
velopment or  experience  in  life  warrant  it.  This 
study  is  pursued  as  a  part  of  our  work  in  Arithmetic, 
and  is  intended  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  work  is  elementary,  and  we  make  no  extra  charge 
for  it.

XV.     Terms. 

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance,  but  month- 
ly payments  may  be  arranged  when  necessary.  No 
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. 

Ministerial  students  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches,  and  the  sons  and  daughters  of  ministers, 
receive  fiity  per  cent  discount  from'  the  regular  rates 
of  literary  tuition. 

A  aiscount  of  ten  per  cent  is  given  to  all  parents 
sending  three  or  more  pupils,  or  to  those  whose  quar- 
terly bills  aggregate  $20.00  or  more. 

Any  special  arrangements  desired  must  be  made  on 
or  before  the  entrance  of  the  pupils.  The  grading 
will  be  based  on  the  course  of  study.     In  the  Primary 


24  CARY   HIGH  SCHOOL. 

and  Grammar  School  the  rates  will  be  in  the  grade 
in  which  the  pupil  has  the  most  studies.  Pupils  hav- 
ing two  or  more  of  the  following  studies  will  be 
charged  $17.50  per  term:  Latin,  Algebra,  General 
History,  Lessons  in  English  and  Rhetoric. 

XVI.     Board 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrangements 
have  been  made  for  all  pupils  desiring  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  expected  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  Principals  will  gladly  arrange  board 
when  notified  by  parents.  Charges  for  board  are  pay- 
able monthly. 

Mrs.  C.  A.  "Wood,  as  Matron,  will  preside  over  the 
students'  home  in  the  school  building.  These  dormi- 
tories are  being  painted,  and  will  be  neatly  furnished. 
Good  board  will  be  furnished  at  actual  cost,  estimated 
at  $6.00.  to  $7.00  per  month.  This  includes  cost  of 
groceries,  fuel,  lights,  lodging,  dining-room  and  kitch- 
en service. 

The  increase  in  the  cost  of  living  has  necessarily 
raised  the  price  of  board,  but  we  have  not.  raised  it  in 
proportion  to  this  increase.  The  following  prices  are 
for  the  school  month  of  four  weeks: 

Board  in  private  families  $8.00 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday 5.00

XV11.     Miscellaneous. 

1.  The  Principals  have  selected  text-books  by  stand- 
ard authors,  and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use 
books  mentioned  in  the  courses  of  study,  except  wnen 
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.  We  urge  all  parents  to  enter  pupils  at  the  begin- 
ning of  term.  Late  entrance  is  injurious  to  pupils 
and  school. 

4.  Parents  should  not  allow  their  children  to  be  at 
home  for  trivial  causes.  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. 

5.  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. 

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

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

8.  All  pupils  on  matriculating  pledge  themselves  to 
obey  and  uphold  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
school.  All  who  are  not  willing  to  do  this  are  urged 
to  stay  at  home.  No  regulations  are  made  except  for 
the  moral,  mental  and  religious  welfare  of  the  pupils 
ana   the   school.

IV.     Forewords. 

The  year  just  closed  has  brought  to  us 
1.   Last  Year.  _ 

many  encouragements.     Our  enrollment 

shows  an  increase  of  more  than  forty  per  cent  over 
that  of  the  preceding  year.  These  students  came 
from  a  larger  territory  than  ever  before  and  their 
work  in  every  department  has  been  more  satisfac- 
tory. It  is  now  believed  that  the  permanent  growth 
of  this  school  is  fully  assured.  To  students  and  fel- 
low-teachers we  wish  to  extend  hearty  thanks  for 
their  excellent  deportment,  kind  and  respectful  bear- 
ing, and  faithful  work.  We  wish  our  former  pupils 
all  possible  success,  and  hope  that  in  their  several 
communities  they  may  be  staunch  supporters  of  their 
Alma  Mater. 

To  prospective  students  we  wish  to  say 
perlment  in  a11  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 
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  communication,  we 
shall  consider  that  all  pupils  matriculating  thereby 
agree  to  the  above  terms,  unless  satisfactory  arrange- 
ments have  been  previously  made.

3.  Not  a  Re-        However  much  we  may  be  interested 
formatory.        in  the  reformation  of  had  boys  we  could 

not  take  the  risk  of  endangering  the  character  of 
many  others  for  the  hope  of  benefitting  one.  Be- 
cause 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  be 
injurious  or  demoralizing  to  the  student  body. 

„   ,.,,  Many  farmers,  who  think  it  almost  a  dis- 

4.  When  " 

to  Enter.  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  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.

Mow  to  Pay.     penses  before  the   school    opens,  and 

many  incidental  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 


CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL  7 

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  cannot  he  done  let  in- 
dulgence be  asked  for,  so  there  can  be  no  misunder- 
standing. In  the  past  a  few  pupils  have  stopped  in 
the  midst  of  the  term  without  previous  arrangement 
and  asked  to  have  tuition  discounted.  Of  course  we 
expect  some  to  discontinue  work  with  good  reasons 
therefor,  but  we  wish  to  know  this  so  as  to  lay  our 
plans  with  accuracy.  Pupils,  teachers  and  the  school 
all  suffer  under  such  conditions.

tion-  to    fill    blanks   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." 

V.  Who  We  Are. 

1.  E.  L.  Middleton. — For  twelve  and  a  half  years 
he  has  taught  successfully  in  the  public  and  private 
schools  of  this  State.  After  a  long  service  with  this 
school,  he  was  released  by  the  Directors,  but  was 
unanimously  recalled  to  his  old  work.  For  a  year 
and  a  half  he  had  a  fine  opportunity  for  studying 
methods  and  plans  in  the  best  schools  in  the  South. 
He  knows  more  of  the  possibilities  of  his  work  and 
the  means  of  attaining  the  most  desirable  ends  in 
education.  He  has  enlarged  views,  renewed  zeal  and 
a  greater  enthusiasm  for  his  work. 

2.  A.  F.  Sam. — For  six  years  he  has  taught  in  the 
schools  at  Marshville  and  Gary.  No  opportunity  has 
been  lost  for  giving  his  pupils  the  benefit  of  advanced 


8  CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL. 

and  progressive  methods  in  education.  He  can  pro- 
duce endorsements  from  patrons  and  pupils  in  all 
his  work,  which  bear  testimony  to  his  thoroughness 
of  instruction,  faithfulness  and  enthusiasm  in  his 
work,  and  his  judicious  and  successful  management 
of  school  affairs. 

3.  Lily  N.  Jones. — The  school  is  very  fortunate  in 
retaining  the  services  of  such  a  teacher.  She  has 
taught  consecutively  for  many  years,  and  has  made  a 
special  study  of  primary  work.  Her  tact,  patience, 
knowledge  of  children  and  influence  among  the  girls, 
together  with  her  broad  culture,  render  her  an  indis- 
pensable factor  in  the  management  of  our  school. 
She  is  eminently  competent  to  teach  the  advanced 
classes  assigned  to  her. 

4.  L.  Kempie  Carlton. — Miss  Carlton  is  no  stran- 
ger to  us.  She  has  taught  with  us  two  and  a  half 
years  with  preeminent  success.  She  has  few  equals 
and  no  superiors  in  her  work.  Se  is  a  woman  of 
broad  culture  and  refinement.  She  performs  ele- 
gantly and  recites  with  ease  and  grace.  She  adds 
great  strength  to  our  faculty. 

5.  Lucy  D.  Reavis. — No  one  is  more  favorably 
known  to  the  citizens  of  Gary  and  our  former  pupils 
than  Miss  Reavis.  She  took  her  business  course 
under  Miss  Lizzie  Lee,  of  St.  Mary's  College,  Raleigh, 
N.  C.  She  has  taught  private  lessons  for  six  years, 
and  has  been  successful  in  her  work. 

VI.  What  We  Want. 

Who  are  willing  to  cooperate  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 


CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL.  Q 

contract  with  a  school  teacher  as  much  as  one  with 

a  grocer. 

Who  realize  that  mental  force  is  superior  to 

'     oys      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  womanhood. 
3.  Girls  . 

Girls   who   are   willing  to   live  in  woman  s 

sphere   and   work   faithfully   to   prepare  themselves 

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. 

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-students,  teachers 
and  landlords.  Boys  who  are  habitual  grumblers 
and  malcontents.  Boys  who  wilfully  disobey  neces- 
sary rules.  Boys  who,  concerning  their  course  of 
study,  know  more  of  their  needs  than  the  principals. 
Boys  who  enter  on  trial  and  stay  only  a  short  time. 

Who  are  unwilling  to  work  for  an  education. 

2.  G i ris 

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. 

VII.  What  We  Do. 

.    _.     ..        The  school  is  not  under  the  control  of  any 
i.  for  the 

heart.  religious  denomination,  but  is  thoroughly 
permeated  with  the  spirit  of  Christianity.  Only 
teachers  of  recognized  character  are  employed,  and 


10  CARY   HIGH  SCHOOL. 

students  of  every  denomination,  or  of  no  church 
affiliations  are  received  on  equal  grounds  in  all  re- 
spects. It  is  our  policy  to  divide  the  teachers  as 
equally  as  possible  among  the  denominations  repre- 
sented 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  possible, 
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  required  to  at- 
tend the  services  of  at  least  one  of  these  churches, 
and  are  expected  to  attend  Sunday  School  regularly. 

2  For  the  Jt  is  our  plan  *°  cultivate  our  students 
Hand.  physically  as  well  as  mentally  and  mor- 
ally. Otherwise  the  best  results  in  the  class-room  and 
in  after  life  cannot  be  realized.  To  this  end,  we  have 
a  beautiful  tennis  court  and  baseball  grounds,  and 
students  are  encouraged  to  take  sufficient  outdoor 
exercise.  The  Principals  take  active  part  in  training 
teams  for  their  contests,  and  their  presence  on  the 
play-grounds  is  a  source  of  enthusiasm,  as  well  as 
moral  influence  among  the  boys.  To  further  encour- 
age athletics,  a  day  will  be  set  apart  for  Field  Day 
exercises.  These  exercises  will  be  held  on  our  ath- 
letic grounds  and  a  handsome  prize  awarded  to  the 
best  all-round  athlete. 

In  all  our  work  we  have  three  ends  in  view 
3-Jr°r  ,tne    to  teach  pupils  to  be  observant  of  what 

Head. 

they  see,  judicious  in  what  they  do,  ana 
logical  in  what  they  say.  For  a  teacher  to  educate 
a  pupil  he  must  lead  him,  not  drive  him,  draw  out 


CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL.  II 

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  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  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 
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  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. 

VIII.  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- 
ter railroad  facilities  could  be  furnished  in  the  State 
— just  at  the  junction  of  the  Seaboard  and  Southern 
Railways,  eight  miles  west  of  Raleigh.     It  is  far  re- 


12  CARY   HIGH   SCHOOI,, 

moved  from  the  malarial  regions,  with  pure,  cold 
well-water  in  abundance  as  the  beverage  of  the  peo- 
ple. The  town  was  chartered  dry,  and  is  fortified 
against  the  possibility  of  alcoholic  drinks  ever  being 
sold  in  or  near  it. 

In  the  most  attractive  part  of  the  town 
ing  .  an(j  surroun(je(j  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 — 
a  society  hall,  reading-room,  library  and  four  music- 
rooms.  On  the  second  floor  are  rooms  for  the  matron, 
a  dining-hall  and  dormitories  for  sixteen  boys. 
During  the  present  vacation,  additional  building  is  to 
be  done,  and  the  entire  plant  embellished. 

The  entire  building  is  furnished  with 
3.  Equipment.  guitable  furnjtUre  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  three  pianos,  and  the 
dormitory  rooms  with  neat  and  comfortable  furni- 
ture. 

IX.  General  Culture. 

I  Literary  Tlie  Clay  Society  for  young  men  and 
Societies,  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  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 


CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL.  13 

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-

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  biogra- 
phy, history,  addresses,  together  with  the  prose  and 
poetical  works  of  Dickens,  Scott,  Cooper.  Tennyson, 
Longfellow,  Shakespeare,  Hawthorne,  Bacon,  and 
others.

Leslie,  Youth's  Companion,  Success,  with  a  large 
number  of  State  and  National  periodicals  and  two 
excellent  educational  monthlies.  All  pupils  have  ac- 
cess to  the  reading-room  every  day,  and  during  the 
past  year  it  was  largely  used.

of  our  work.  Many  distinguished  educators  and 
leading  men  in  other  professions  have  entertained 
and  greatly  benefitted  us  by  timely  and  practical  ad- 
dresses. Our  student  body  looks  forward  to  these  oc- 
casions with  much  interest,  and  the  large  audiences 
from  the  town  and  community  show  that  they  are 
generally  appreciated.  We  have  already  secured  prom-

ises  from  many  prominent  lecturers  for  the  coming 

session. 

X.  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  col- 
lege, 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.  During  last  year  we  had  a 
large  number  of  former  pupils  in  the  following  insti- 
tutions: University  of  North  Carolina,  Trinity  Col- 
lege, Wake  Forest  College,  A.  and  M.  College,  N.  C. 
Normal  and  Industrial  College,  and  Oxford  Female 
Seminary.  This  does  not  include  several  of  our  stu- 
dents who  went  directly  from  our  school  to  profes- 
sional schools.  Several  of  our  students  at  these  col- 
leges have  graduated  magna  cum  laude. 

XI.  Record  of  Work.. 

I    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  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 
•  °epor  s-    weeks.     We  keep  all  parents  informed  re- 
garding the  scholarship,  deportment  and  attendance 
of  their  children. 


CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL.  15 

We  ask  for  their  co-operation.  Low  marks  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 
.  s-jonors,  .g  p0S^e(j  rp0  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  scholar- 
ship during  next  year.  To  compete  for  this,  a  pupil 
must  be  present  to  receive  all  the  reports  of  the  year. 

Prizes  will  also  be  awarded  for  excellence  in  de- 
bate, essay-writing,  declamation  and  recitation. 

XII.    Special  Departments. 

Music  has  long  since  come  to  be  a  necessity 
Music. 

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  per- 
formers, 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  knowl- 
edge of  music  and  to  make  the  best  performers. 

Elocution  is  no  longer  considered  a  mere 

ocution.  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  practi- 
cal importance  of  true  expression. 

And  the  time  rapidly  approaches  when  the  inele- 


l6  CARY   HIGH   SCHOOL. 

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. 

In  answer  to  considerable  demands   we 

Typewriting       n  ,     , 

and  have   arranged   to    give   instruction   in 

Stenography.  Shorthand  and  Typewriting.  A  study 
of  these  departments  net  only  furnish  excellent  means 
for  mental  development,  but  also  affords  practical 
information  which  may  prove  very  profitable.  By  a 
knowledge  of  these  arts,  many  energetic  boys  and 
girls  are  working  their  way  through  higher  institu- 
tions of  learning.  We  use  the  Isaac  Pittman  System 
of  Shorthand.  As  texts  we  will  use  his  Twentieth 
Century  Complete  Phonographic  Instructor,  The 
Twentieth  Century  Dictation  Book,  and  Nos.  1  and  2 
Business  Letter  Book. 

For  practice  work  in  Typewriting  we  will  use  a 
standard  typewriter. 

The  policy  of  the  school  is  to  make  no 
00  promises  that  are  not  kept.     We  have 

no  separate  department  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  warrant  it.  This  study  is 
pursued  as  a  part  of  our  work  in  Arithmetic,  and  is 
intended  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 
work  is  elementary,  and  we  make  no  extra  charge 
for  it.

XV.  Terms. 

Tuition  is  payable  quarterly  in  advance,  but  month- 
ly payments  may  be  arranged  when  necessary.  No 
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. 

Ministerial  students  properly  endorsed  by  their 
churches  will  receive  a  discount  of  50  per  cent,  and 
the  sons  and  daughters  of  ministers,  25  per  cent  dis- 
count from  the  regular  rates  of  literary  tuition. 

A  discount  of  10  per  cent  is  given  to  all  parents 
sending  three  or  more  pupils,  or  to  those  whose  quar- 
terly bills  aggregate  $20.00  or  more. 

Any  special  arrangements  desired  must  be  made  on 
or  before  the  entrance  of  the  pupils.  The  grading 
will  be  based  on  the  course  of  study.  In  the  Primary 
and  Grammar  School  the  rates  will  be  in  the  grade

in  which  the  pupils  have  the  most  studies.  Pupils  hav- 
ing two  or  more  of  the  following  studies  will  be 
charged  $17.50  per  term:  Latin,  Algebra,  General 
History,  and  Junior  Bngilsh. 

All  accounts  not  settled  within  ten  days  after  the 
close  of  each  term  must  be  closed  by  note. 

XVI.  Board. 

During  the  past  year  satisfactory  arrangements 
have  been  made  for  all  pupils  desiring  board.  Many 
of  the  best  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  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  Principals  will  gladly  arrange 
board  when  notified  by  parents.  Charges  for  board 
are  payable  monthly. 

Mrs.  C.  A.  Wood,  as  Matron,  will  preside  over  the 
students'  home  in  the  school  building.  These  dormi- 
tories are  being  painted,  and  will  be  neatly  furnished. 
Good  board  will  be  furnished  at  actual  cost,  estimated 
at  $7.00  per  month.  This  includes  cost  of  groceries- 
fuel,  lights,  lodging,  dining-room  and  kitchen  service. 

The  increase  in  the  cost  of  living  has  necessarily 
raised  the  price  of  board,  but  we  have  not  raised  it 
in  proportion  to  this  increase.  The  following  prices 
are  for  the  school  month  of  four  weeks 

Board  in  private  families $8.00 

Board  from  Monday  until  Friday. 5.00 


CARY    HIGH   SCHOOL.  23 

XVII.  Miscellaneous. 

1.  The  Principals  have  selected  text-books  by  stand- 
ard authors,  and  all  pupils  will  be  required  to  use 
books  mentioned  in  the  courses  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  Principals 
when  a  favor  is  to  be  asked  for  their  children,  or 
when  any  complaint  is  made.  Permission  will  not  be 
given  to  boarding  girls  to  leave  Gary,  except  for  their 
homes,  unless  by  written  request  from  their  parents 
to  the  Principals. 

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

7.  All  pupils  on  matriculating  pledge  themselves  to 
obey  and  uphold  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
school.  All  who  are  not  willing  to  do  this  are  urged 
to  stay  at  home.  No  regulations  are  made  except  for 
the  moral,  mental  and  religious  welfare  of  the  pupils 
and  the  school.
