EYST0NE ACADEMY.
Location.
Tho Keystone Academy Is located In
factoryville, Pa., forty-five miles south
of Blnghatnton, N. Y., fifteen miles
north of Scuanton, and one hundred
and sixty miles northwest of New York
city, on the main line of tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad.
The place derives Its name fiom a
factory which was located there in
1S13, but which has since passed out
of existence. The surrounding country
Is mountainous and the ellmato most
liealthful. The pure mountain air Is
i-efrchlng and invlsoratlng, while the
extended views of glens, dales, biooks
hills and mountains aie most charming
to the eye. The village of Facloryvllle
(contains a population of about one
'thousand, and Is almost entirely tree
from the many temptations and evils
bt large towns. Students are surround
ted by Christian influences and have tho
advantages of excellent icllglous prlvl- study or law, medicine or their life

Character of the School.
The Keystouo Academy was founded
In ISBS nnd Is a trust established for
tho education of the people In tho arts
nnd sclonces. its doors aro open to
young rami and young women on equal
terms. It is not maintained as a pri
vate enterprise for financial gain, but
was established by gifts and li on
Bowed with tho purpose of making It
hue of the best of academic schools.
The principal teachers are permanent
ly connected with tho hchool, and have
had special preparation and experience
in their departments, wnlle those who
have In chaiflo the dlieet management
of tho school ate mo.-u concerned to
Kecuro a bolecl number of eat nest,
faithful students than to havo metely
B long list on Its roll.
-- ..... n. ...... jin.uniiit;n if.
. ciuit
The Keystone Academy Is non-soc-larlan,
but Is most emphatically u
Christian school. The teachers and n
very large percentage of the students
are professing Christians. A high
staiidaul of scholarship and Christian
character Is the chief concern.
No "royal road to learning" has yet
been found and students learn that
anything worthy of possession Is worth
earnest effort, so they -arc encouraged
to apply themselves diligently even to
those subjects which maynot bo at
tractive to them.
The education Is substantial, practi
cal and removed as rar as possible
from mere display.
"-It Is the a Im of those In chaige to
nialtc the home life and surroundings
and Influences such as should be found
In u model home. The personal con
tact of teachers with students develops
sympathetic relations, manliness of
character nnd that self-reliance and
that self-respect that are most con
ducive to an Ideal system of self-government
which It is the desire to ob
tain. Buildings, ground and other gffts to
the amount of $100,000, with an endow
ment, have been contributed by gener
ous ft lends. On the basis of these gifts
and additional annual contributions,
tuition and board oic furnished at a
veiy reasonable amount. The aim of
the school bus been to furnish thorough
Instruction and superior home advant
ages at a moderate charge and to In
crease the productive funds so that no
meritorious student need bo turned
away through want of means.
Courses of Study.
The Academy has three courses of
Instruction that require three years'
work after the completion of the Pe
paratory year, namely, u Classical, an
Academic, and a Business and Scien
tific course. A full four years' comse
in Latin and two yeats In German are
also provided for thorc who desire to
prepaie for college with advanced
standing. In order to enter upon any
of these courses students must be pre
pared to pass examinations In geog
raphy, arithmetic, United States his
tory, English grammar and spelling.
The studies of the preparatory year
include these, together with elocution
and penmanship, and In many cases
require two years' work. In addition to
these, a Commercial course is offered,
which may be completed In about one
year.
Description of the Courses.
The Classical course includes those
subjects necessary for admission to
college, and, when propoily completed,
ptepares students to enter the best col
leges and pursue with advantage the
studies of the freshman year. The aim
is not merely to got students into col
lege, but to so train them to habits of
proiitably take up the higher work.
The Academic course Is designed for
those who Intend to pursue the Latin-
Scientific course at college, or enter
fiom the' Academy directly upon the

The Academic or Classical course may
be completed In three years by very
bright and diligent students, but these
courses are ulho ananged t.o as to al
low four years for completion, which
Is mote satisfactory.
Tho Iluslness and Scientific course,

Academy.
The Commercial course Is designed

States history, geography, spoiling and
penmanship. The time required to com
plete the course depends Upon the abil
ity and previous preparation of the
student. Those who satisfactorily com
plete the above course may receive a
certificate to that effect.
Admission.
Applicants, unless personally known
lo some member of the faculty, usual
ly bring it letter of recommendation as
to satisfactory moral character, prefer
ably from their pastor or last teacher.
Students can tuke up such studies as
their ability and preparation will war
rant, but will not be allowed to pursue
the advanced branches until the ele
mentary subjects are completcdi Those
who wish lo enter at once upon one
of tho regular courses, or to toko ad
vanced standing, must bring with them
a diploma or a certificate of work done
In 'the school last attended. Students
who do not Improve their opportunl-
ties, who do not cheerfully Comply with
the lcgulatlons of the school, and
whoso Influence Is pernicious, .are not
desired and will not bo retained.
The school year begins with the fall
term, and students will find it to their
advantage to enter at that time and
remain continuously during the year.
Beginning classes in Greek, German
and geometry are oiganized only in the
fall term, but pupils capable of-doing
the work may enter a class at any time.
Discipline.
The tides, few in number, have in
view the welfare and rights of all pu
pils. Students are expected to be
young men and women, worthy of the
highest honor and esteem, who will
faithfully apply themselves to their
work.
The. system of school government
which onfoices obedience, simply
tlnough fear of punishment, appeals to
man's lower nature. Uptight conduct
Is encouraged as its own reward. Ap
peal is continually made to the con-
science nnd to the demands of true
manliness. Every effort is made to
form and lo maintain it healthy public
opinion. The Rible Is used to illustrate
and teach proper moral conduct, and
the Impoitanco of obedlcnco to --Its
teaching Is emphasized.
Ordor nnd Punctuality.
Everything has Its time and Is done
In Its time, Ptoinplness and exactness,
valuable to tho student In after life,
arc taught. ,
It Is recognized that Idleness Is tho
fruitful source of disorder! therefore
students ato given plenty to do and
are held to tho strict peWorrmincQ of
the duties nsMgncd.
Nearly all the teachers room In the
Institution. Friendly vlHts arc mndu
to students In their rooms, to render
asFlsiauco and counsel, and to seo that
tho rights of students nre not Infringed.
Attention to such things obviates, to
a great extent, tho need of punishment.
Examinations.
AVrlttcn examinations In all subjects
am 'hold about tho middle and at tho
ilot-o of each quarter. Each final cx
am'nation occupies two bouts, so that
aniplo timo Is allowed for easeful work.
Students aip required to attend exatnl
nntlonn, nsid any student who absents
himself receives sto teport for the wotk
ot that qunrter, If a student Is obliged
to bo absent, either ott account of slck
tioss or for apy season which In tho
judgment or the principal seems suffi
cient, he may take tho examination at
such time as hu ami the teacher snuy
agree upon ami receive his report for
tho quarter's work,
Reports.
At the close of each tortn a report of
wotk and deportment. Ja'gl vest to each
pupil or sent to. his paretst or guardian,
If these teports are not received lit duo
time, the parent or guardian should
notify the Principal, Patents aro ex
pected to cat efully examine tho reports.
Letters from parents asking Ittforma
lion concerning reports, conduct and
she like will receive prompt attention.

Tho trustees of Keystone Academy
believe In a generously nnuiished and
well-developed body as well as a thor
oughly disciplined tnlnd, Located In
tho midst of a fruitful agricultural
region, nil farm products can ho had
fresh and at first hand, Tho tables aro
bountifully supplied with wholesome,
well-cooked food. Care Is also tukeu to
provide as great a variety as possible.
Teachers and matron co-operate to
make for tho students a plensant home,
Pure drinking water Is an important
feature, nnd the baths nnd toilet con
veniences odd much to the home com
forts of nil.
Sanitation,
Dr, Oeorgo G. Graff, formes ly Presi
dent of the State Hoard of Health, vis
ited the Institution, and, after u care
ful inspection, wrote, unspllcltcd, the
following; "Your plumbing Is the best
I have yet seen In a Pennsylvania
school, While in many schools I find
much to condemn as unsanitary, at
Keystouo Academy X find an Ideal
water supply, absolutely free from con.
tamlunilon, the best plumbing known,
a mode kitchen, good ventilation, a de?
llghtfut campus for outdoor sports, and
puro mountain air."
Athletics.
A now gymnasium, 20 by 40 feet, has
been fitted Up on tho first floor of tho
main hall. It Is furnished with chest

cellent records.
In any business good health Is of
prime Importance and no proficiency In
knowledge can compensate for the loss
of it. Students ate encouraged to ex
ercise freely In the open air, when the
weather permits and they have prac
tice In light gymnastics. Encourage
ment is also given to outdoor sports.
Attention to the ventilation and cleanli
ness of rooms is required, nnd frequent

Social Advantages.
Monthly socials and receptions aro
given In the parlors from S to 10 o'clock
on Saturday evenings for students and
teaches s. A careful oversight is given
by teachers acquainted with the cus
toms and requirements of refined so
ciety. One feature of the social life of the
.school that has met with pleasing suc
cess Is the "At Homes" given by the
Alain Approach
ladles of the Academy to the students
and the people of tho village. They are
recognized as being among the most en
joyable and educative features along
social lines. This, however, does not
hum up tho social life of the school.
Attention Is given to cultivating good
mantlets and an easy, graceful bearing
at alt times.
Co-Education.
TIip joint education of the Rexes Is,
In this -country, no longer an expetl
ment. It Is found that when young
men and women study tho same sub
jects and rccltu together tho classes
study better, tho young men aro more
nsanly and the young women are more
womanly than when they study In
separate Institutions. At the tame time
.tho Intercourse of the sexes must bo
pl.iced..under ccrtuln restrictlosjs, and
thesa restrictions, found ueccsiitrV In all
s-chools of tho kind, ate strictly en
forced In Keystone Academy,
The Literary Societies.

ciety toons on tho third lloor of tho
Ladles' Institute.
Religious Advantages.
Tho school Is opened dally with devo
tional exorcises. Tho students also
meet lis their sespectlvo buildings at
9 p. ra. fosv cventsig prayers.
In addition to this, branches of tho
College Young Men's Chrlstlass Asso
ciation and Young Women's Chrlstlati
Association havo organizations here,
Meetings aso hold weekly, Under their
auspices a students' prayer meeting la
held every Tuesday afternoois, during
tho last recitation period, which is set
apart for this special purpose. These
meetings; are largely attended nnd aro
a great spiritual blessing. Under their
direction, also, is a Prayer League,
which is composed of actlva Christian
students whd meet weekly 'to (Hscuhs
plans and methods of Chrlstlass work.
Each yenr tho presidents of the two
societies appoint Committees to meet
now students at the train nnd to mnke

of work was adopted: Regular recita
tions in "White's School Management,"

the government of pupils, a review of
the subjects taught In public schools,
and lectures by tho different Instruc
tors on arithmetic, penmanship, draw

WHAT CONTESTANTS
DID DURING JUNE
Remarkable Showing Mado by Os
car Kipp Fred Gunstor's Swift
Advance Those Who Did Best
Work in May Relaxed in June.
In The Tribune's Educational Contest
during Juno there were many changes.
That there should be changes simply
shows that some contestants havo
worked a great deal harder than oth
ers. If all had met with tho same suc
cess, all would simply havo advanced
their scores), but would not have
changed positions. Some of the con
testants did their hardest work in May,
and were content to make only a fair
showing during June, while others, who
did not havo their Interest awakened
during tho first month, started in in
Juno with a strong determination and
advanced rapidly up the list.
. Charles Burns, of Vandllng, who so
cured tho gold watch for scoring tho
largest number of points in May, took
first place on the last day of that
month and has maintained It ever since.
Ho scored 284 points during his first
month, while he ndded but 155 during
June. On June 1 ho held first place by
but 56 points, while yesterday he was
111 points ahead of his nearest competi
tor. Oscar H: Klpp, of Elmhurst, -who is
in second place, has advanced to that
position during the month from tenth.
At the end of tho first week he had
passed three of those who were above
him, while at the close of the second
he dropped back one, where he re
mained until the closing day. Mr. Klpp
did not enter' tho contest until May 30,
starting In thirteenth place.
Fred K. Gunster, of Green Ridge, was
another contestant who did not enter
until the last day of May, starting In
seventh place. Mr. Klpp passed him
at the end of the first week In June',
but at the close of the second week he
had regained the lost ground, at the
end of the third was in fourth place,
dropping to fifth the following day,
where he remained until the close of the
month, when he advanced to third. He
held this position by 10 points yester
day morning, although a typographical
error tied (Mr, Kellerman with him.
A. J. Kellerman, of Scranton, started
tho month .in third place, holding that
position by 215 points. During the
month ho added . only 72 to his score,
yet at the end of the second week wa9
In second place, where he remained un
til the closing day. Yesterday morning
he was obliged to drop back to fourth
place, but made a good start yesterday
and again moves up a peg.
William T. S. Rodriguez did some re
markable work during the first week,
going up to second place in a little over
three weeks, which position he held at
the close of the month by 228 points.
He only scored 33 points during June,
however, and was obliged to drop back
to fifth place. With the opening of a
new month he will probably be heard
from oftener.
Herbert Thompson, of Carbondale,
