intended for city boys sixteen years 

 old, who have a fair grammar school 

 education. They are to be taught sci- 

 entific farming, floriculture and the 

 care of live stock. The course covers 

 four years. The tuition is free, except 

 for a small deposit. 



During winter the classroom work is 

 the feature, the freshmen and sopho- 

 mores spending the morning in the 

 classrooms, while the juniors and seniors 

 spend the morning outdoors; this is re- 

 versed in the afternoon. The course 

 includes agriculture, chemistry and 

 physics relating thereto, horticulture, 

 mathematics, English, dairy farming, 

 the care of live stock, botany, and in- 

 struction in surveying, law and one or 

 two other subjects in so far as they 

 relate to farming. The summer course 

 is largely outdoor work, with one hour 

 for classroom recitation each morning 

 and a study period after supper each 

 evening. 



The first building at the top of the 

 hill includes the laboratory, where Dr. 

 Washburn lectures, and one of the class- 

 rooms. The main building is devoted 

 to dining room, linen room and dormi- 

 tories, all neat and attractive in ap- 

 Eearance. Each student has a room to 

 imself and prizes are given for neat- 

 ness. Mr. Fancourt is master in charge 

 of this house. The next building, the 

 most elaborate of all, is the gift of 

 Adolph Segal; it contains classrooms, 

 dormitories, a playroom with shuffle- 

 boards, shower baths, and a library 

 containing many books of interest on 

 live stock, farming, horticulture, etc., 

 and supplied with magazines through 

 the kindness of Mr. Burpee. Pennsyl- 

 vania Hall is not quite complete. The 

 chapel is used for non sectarian serv- 

 ices. 



There are three greenhouses, devoted 

 to growing cut flowers and plants. The 

 stock consisted of carnations in excep- 

 tionally fine condition, calla lilies, As- 

 paragus plumosus of most vigorous 

 growth and an assortment of bedding 

 plants and vegetables. A class of boys 

 was engaged in potting carnation cut- 

 tings that had rooted in a way to do 

 credit to Mr. Fancourt 's pupils. A por- 

 tion of the cost of maintaining this 

 branch is derived from the sale of the 

 product.

A view of the farm, beautiful in its 

 wintry covering of snow, came next, 

 Dr. Washburn pointing out the new pig- 

 gery through which he drove. It was 

 an astonishingly clean place, filled with 

 contented ^runters. Then came the 

 cow stables, inhabited by blooded stock, 

 certificated; the milk goes where none 

 but the best will do. The poultry houses,
