ROCK RIDGE HALL W A SCHOOL At Wellesley Hills ELLESLEY HILLS, a residential village thirteen miles west of Boston, has long been noted for its dry, porous soil, pure water and invigorating air. It is situated in the midst of a region that has been endowed richly, as well as rendered famous historically, by generations of sturdy New Englanders. While all the studies which lead to entrance at the best colleges and scientific schools are offered at Rock Ridge Hall, the chief aim is to fit boys thoroughly for the great responsibilities as well as for the great opportunities of American life. Boys whose parents wish for them a school life which is fuller and richer than that of the public schools, yet one far more carefully directed than that of the colleges are especially welcome. Such a life is particularly advisable for the boy who is to be sent to one of the larger colleges with its complete freedom, and for the boy who is to go into business with its complete restraint. While every effort is made to secure the best of instruction, a hearty wholesome school life, with the Highest American Ideals, is regarded as of the first importance. Abundant opportunities are offered for physical training. Three hours per day are allowed for recreation and sports on the athletic fields and elsewhere while the new gymnasium with its equipment of thoroughly modern apparatus is surpassed by but few college gymnasiums even. Liberal provision has been made for shop work in the Mechanic Arts and laboratory work in Physics and Chemistry, for the peculiar educational training imparted to fingers, muscles, and brain even by this work cannot be ignored by any school whose graduates are to take their places in the ranks of this active, highly mechanical American people.

(Harvard) WEST NEWTON MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL_OF_EXPRESSION Middlesex School SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION A BOYS' SCHOOL of the best type, with its courses of study designed to occupy seven years in preparation for college. While the main features are thus governed by college requirements, the course is not limited by them, but also includes a wide range of instruction in science, history, and literature, by class-room work and evening lectures. The Masters are Harvard graduates, and the methods of instruction are based on sound pedagogical principles. The school is planned upon the cottage system. Each of the houses accomodates about twenty boys, a house master and an assistant master, but all the boys take their meals in a common dining hall. Two periods of manual training weekly are required of all the boys, the course including drawing, modeling, carving and carpentry. For physical training, large play grounds, golf links and other facilities for outdoor exercise and sports are furnished. Gymnasium work is required in weather which does not permit outdoor exercise. The religious influence of the school is vigorous but entirely non-sectarian, and on Sunday each boy attends the nearest church of his own denomination. Frederick Winsor, A.
