Its literary standard has been steadily raised, and will continue to be raised in proportion as conditions justify it. It has always used its in- lluence toward raising the standard of female education in the South. Within the last twenty years, much has been accomplished in this direc tion, but much remains to be done. Standards of education must bo adapted to the needs and the capa bilities of the student. To establish a Wellesley, a Smith, or a Bryn Mawr, on Southern soil is not yet practiccble. Our Southland is not ripe for it. Two conditions, at least, must exist before such colleges can be established in our Southern States. These are, first; moretliorougb train ing schools, that students may enter upon a college course properly equip ped for the work; secondly, a wil lingness on the part of the pupils to remain longer in college. So long has a collegj has elementary work to do, and pupils insist upon complet ing their course at the age of seven teen or eighteen, the standard cannot he as high as it otherwise might be. If such a course as is pursued in the college above mentioned is, under existing conditions, attempted in Southern schools, it wiil prove a failure. The Greenville Female Col lege knows the material with which it has to work, and adapts its stand- aid to that material, for it knows that in this way it cun accomplish the best results; but it will not lower its standard to graduate a six teen year old girl on one year’s work ; it can better afford to lose the pupil. On the contrary it will raise the standard in proportion as conditions favor it. J t does not work for num bers. Kvery year it could increase largely it roll of students if it would deliver its diplomas on the condition asked. It will receive a pupil for a year, and do for her all that is possi ble within that time, but it cannot graduate her. Its diplomas must mean something Almost every year one or more pupils leave for some other school where a diploma can be obtained on easier terms. The Greenville Female College, as lias been said, has held the rank it occupies by virtue of the work it has done. It has no wealth behind it, and cannot in this respect, compete with some sister institutions, but the fact that it has prose.)/fd so well, and has given so high a quality of work despite its many discourage ments, its lacs of outside attractive ness, and its many hard struggles, proves it worthy of confidence and patronage. The G. F. C. does not look solely at the practical side of an education for woman. It does not believe that her triumphs are to he won in the pulpit, at the bur, in politics or on the lecture platform. It does not be lieve that it is for such work that God has opened for her the door to a higher edtioati >n. It believes that it is for his own work and not for man’s work that lie is preparing her. It be lieves that it is the higher, the ideal side of life that is to constitute wo man’s sphere of labor; that her’s is a heart work rather than a head work— a heart work, not under the control j of impulses, em dions, sensibilities' alone, but these guided by that sound : judgment, that wise self-control, and that quickened in.-ight which a well directed education can give. In a word, the Greenville Female College believes that woman’s field of labor is, preeminently, a moral one, and that for it she has been peculiarly fitted by her Creator; that the higher education is not, or should not he, for the purpose of transferring her to a new sphere, hut so to broaden her vision that she may see the length and breadth and height and wondrous possibilities of the one in which God lias placed her, and may be fitted to meet its great responsibilities. In this belief, the G. F. C. seeks to up build character us wtdl as to develop intellect; to place before its pupils high ideals—and to help them to at tain unto them. Its aim is to send out into the world high types of edu cated, Christian womanhood, whose influence shall tend to the uplifting and betterment of humanity. The G F. C. does not object to competition in its work, *o long as this is conducted on a legitimate basis, and does not seek to detract from or pull down others to build up self. A generous rivalry can harm no one; on the contrary it will prove a spur to better work on the part of all and thus he for the advantage of all. The G. F. C. is u Baptist college; I am a Baptist, a resident of the state in which it is located; for this rea son, other things being equal, it de serves my patronage. Although there are other llaptist schools in the state, this is the only one for girls that is under the foster ing cure of the denomination us a whole; it is, in a sense, a child of the denomination, and lias tried to he a worthy one; it is, therefore, entitled to its love and support. It should not be neglected from the common fallacy that u son is wortli more to the world than a daughter. It is true that 1 should not feel called upon to sacrifice, in any de gree. the education of ir.y daughter for the sake of sending her to a Bap tist college; hut such a one has a stronger claim upon me provided us good results can he obtained from it as elsewhere. The following was cl in pod, some time ago, from an article, in u north ern paper, favoring denominational schools. "If the denomination lias a right to exist, then it has u right and a good reason to work in its own name and way for the advancement of education. Thus the enthusiasm of a special form of faith is brought to hear us an additional impulse to quicksn the interests of education. Without tliis peculiar hacking our American high schools would have flourished but feebly in the past, and even now. though the state has en tered upon a poliey of secular cduca* tion which proposes to tux the com munities heavily for the maintenance of great secular establishments, and though, on the other hand, it is be coming a sort of fashion for individu als to seek an earthly immortality of reputation by endowing great schools with fabulous wealth, the denomina tional college, rallying the affections of millions, continues their faith, those principles of true religion that are set forth in the teachings of Christ.” The G. F. G. discourages all costly, and showy dress on the part of its pupils, not only from the standpoint of expense, but from that of good taste; encouraging, always, perfect neatness and simplicity of attire. An attractive, tasteful, uniform is worn on all public occasions, so that the lone ambition of excelling in dress lias no opportunity for development, and, at the same time, the expense of a college course is greatly lessened. Last, but by no means least in im portance, the health record of the G. F. C. is unparalleled by few, if any, institutions that have been in exist ence as many years. During its long history, there has not been a death in the college. Located on high ground, over a thousand feet above sea level, where miasma is unknown, supplied with pure wholesome mountain water, its pupils have enjoyed an immunity from serious sickness known to hut few schools. These are a few of the reasons why i should send my daughter to the Greenville Female College. —J. W. Tolleson has just received a nice assortment of ladies headed elastic belts.
