That was Why Andover wanted him. When‘ Ferry Hall wanted Miss Sabra L. Sargent we said "No. Highland Park can’t spare her." Ferry Hall wanted no one who could be spared. Hence we dropped into the Hall W ednesdm afternoon to see what might be the outlook for the ensu- ing year. I nlike that ancient ten)- ple of Israel the sound of the saw and the hammer was heard every where. First of all that Chapel, a beautiful and unique buildinghas lost the old dull, cold interior, and in its place are bright, soft, warm, cheerful, rich colors, and the effect, on us at least. was very pleasant. Then the library, .that enlarged spacious and well tilled shelves. a 31‘ A room in the southeast corner. with m room which invites to books and be quiet musing. has been very hand- at somely and richly decorated. The kt books, the shelves. the walls. the $5 pictures. the outlook on wide stret- in ching lawn and lake beyond, make ta it an ideal room for the lover of‘ good literature. Then across the 0‘ hall are the Principal's suite. new- u 1y decorated in the same quiet. but in strpng rich colors. It is astyle e] M will new my.

A But there are other things, if not f‘ as artistic. fully as essential to the b sana mens in sano c(.rpore. One is the plumbing. of the very first im- C portance in such an establishment. t} It has been all overhauled from basement to above the roof. There 1 are four large bath rooms for pu- 'l pils on thc several floors. with the best porcelain furnishings. imper- vious walls and floors. with plenty of light and ventilation. Pupils may be ill at Ferry Hall. but such possibilities are reduced to a minâ€" uimum. The buildings are abund-l antly supplied by the city water Works from Lake Michigan.

The students’ rooms are all sun- ny, well lighted, in ;suites for two pupils, a parlor and sleeping room with two beds, two clothes presses and each room opening into the hall. Also, on every floor is an abundance of hose for fire purptis- es if needed. and large modern iron fire escapes, reaching all the floors. It seemed to us. in short, that every need is practically provided for, and every possible danger adequat- ly guarded against. One word more about that (lining rooni,there ‘were no unkempt corners. and no odors suggestive of the boarding house. It is a home dining room. as all the life there is a home life. and over that culinary department the matron has presided twenty- one years in succession. Also. let me say.turn those buildings around and the present back yard would be fit for a front yard, the grounds are large. well shaded and well kept. The expenses range from $2 75 to 8400 per annum, (h pend- ing on rooms, furnishings. etc; the table is alike for all. Ferry Hall stands for high ideals of personal character and intellec- tual culture, hence its diploma menus something. Social and gen- eral culture, and; refinement, are worth stand first. Its cdrriculuml is broad and comprehensive. and its methods are up to- date P lank ed. as it is, on the one side by the Academy , a first class fitting so hool for V’oung men and on the other by the [11iversity an eminent (0- educational college F'err} Hull Could not well be otherwise thzm first class. In addition to Miss Sargent. as its head. there are fourteen other instructors. three of whom are new W‘Miss Covington. who takes Miss Cushman's place in art ; Miss Fleur ing. vocal music. and Miss Jessica Meltityre. a Ph B. of Ann Arbor. and a year in Paris. who will have “‘the department of history.

Rarely has the death of a youngi man come to us as such a sad and ‘1 almost personal grief, as that of‘ young Ben Jones of Waukegan, son of our highly esteemed County Judge, DeWitt L.

He was just past 19 years 0! age and :a young man of rare strengrh of lebaracter, sweetness of disposiliou. and one of unusual promise. He was a universal fm‘orite. filled with a lofty and fervid patriotism, re- minding us so strongly of the same high ideal and purpose of an earlier Waukegan patriot and soldier, Col. lsaac L. Clark. who fell at Chicka- umuga that September day in 1863. Young Jones died a martyr at his post of duty, and as the years go by the memory of his beautiful life. of his noble zeal and his untimely death will linger with those who knew him and as a shining exainplei and abiding inspiration.
