( 4'34 The Northwestern Military Acad- em‘y' has opened up its twelfth year with a “full house. " The gain over last year we understand is abut 45 ptt‘ cent, and the capacity oi the plant alone prevented still greater gain. We know this should he, and have no doubt will he a source of g'ratiliestion in every loyal Highland Psrhite. This institution opened in our midst eleven years ago. At the time there was some opposition to it, in the minds of the people lest it should, lihe‘so many similar schools in other places, lit-come a source at frequent annoyance to the citizens. Thisimpression however, quickly dis- appeared and we venture to say no school in the country has ever been less an annoyance and more an orna- mentto its locality than the North'- western Military Academy to our little city. ‘ We congratulate the manspment of the school on their success. For several years after its introduction in our midst it battled against eeriOus obstacles; Six weeks after. it was organized everything was swept out by" fire. Three 'or four years later the cyclone Stamped its foot-tracks upon the south end of the main building. Then came the finan- cial panic. Few men would have more persistently and successfully battled and overcome one obstacle after another in building up the in- stitution than the president and (ac- ulty of N. M. A. Many older and apparently stronger institutions have gone down amid the Wreckage of six years" of- ’ financial disaster. Still others have managed to keep an existence by cutting each other’ 3 throats and cutting prices. So far. we understand; the . Northwestern Military Academy has steadily main- tained its price and has as steadily kept a full, strong fueulty of instruc- tors; and we have no doubt the pre- sent bright outlook for the ‘school is due largely to the policy which it has maintainedsfrom the first, of making the A l a home in the fullest sense of tli fin, and keeping teachers enough to give to every student that thorough individual attention which alone an bring' first-class results.
