WHITSETT INSTITUTEWhitsett, Guilford County, North Carolina
HISTORICAL SKETCH
jHITSETT INSTITUTE is a first-class,
high-grade boarding school, incorporated
by the Legislature of the State of North
Carolina. It was established in 1884 and
passed under its present control in 1888
;
hence, for twenty-six years the school has
been under the same management.
Hundreds of successful students whoare now to be found in various walks of
life in this and other states have been
trained here. The school prepares for
business, for college, for teaching, and for the varied activities of life.
The Literary Course offered here is very thorough and complete, as
will be seen by carefully reading the outline of that work as given later
on in this register.
The Teachers' Normal Course is especially adapted to those who in-
tend to become teachers, and affords a fine training for this profession.
The Business College Course offers complete courses in Bookkeep-
ing, Shorthand, Typewriting, Commercial Law, Banking, Business
Practice, and all the branches necessary for a successful business career.
A Department of Music is maintained for those who desire instruc-
tion in Music. The Whitsett Cornet Band, and the Whitsett Orchestra,
furnish music for all public exercises and give frequent concerts.
WHIT SETT INSTITUTE
Fortunate in Location
Whitsett Institute is especially fortunate in its location. In health,
convenience of access from every direction, and beauty of surroundings,
the location is admirable. The first point to be considered in choosing
a school is health. In this respect this place is not surpassed. Theaverage temperature for the year is 59 degrees. No fogs, no malaria.
A few hours' ride westward carries one among the matchless scenery of'
the "Land of the Sky," the mountains of the Appalachian chain ; while
the softening breezes from the Gulf Stream from the east render
extremes of heat and cold unknown.
Year after year demonstrates the wisdom of those who selected this
spot for the school's location. No lovelier or more suitable spot could
be desired for a great school.
The health of the large body of students has been well-nigh perfect
for years.
Splendid Buildings
An excellent new building, size 80 by 100 feet, with a four-story
tower, was completed in 1902, and handsomely fitted up. This splendid
structure is in every respect well suited to the purposes for which it was
erected. It contains two large study halls, several recitation rooms, a
spacious and well-arranged auditorium, with beautiful and convenient
stage, President's office, two literary society halls, large library roomlighted from three sides, reading-room, commercial and business hall,
with banking room adjoining for the business college, etc., etc. Thebuilding is first class throughout, many of the windows having frosted
and cathedral glass; inside and outside stairways, etc. It is a model
school building, of handsome and striking architecture, affording com-
fort and convenience. It was erected at heavy cost, in order to afford
the students of the institution every possible advantage.
It would be difficult to find a building better adapted to the workfor which it was designed.
Dormitories and Boarding Halls
Grouped around the school campus, at a distance of one hundred to
four hundred yards, are twelve dormitories and boarding halls, where
students room and board. The buildings are all practically new, having
been erected within the past few years, and offer pleasant homes for
the faculty and student body. Each boarding place is in charge of a
suitable matron.

Good Boarding Arrangements
The boarding arrangements are all under the oversight and super-
vision of the Institute, and the members of the faculty room and board
in the various halls. We guarantee satisfaction in regard to hoard.
This is one great trouble at many schools. Board is furnished at most
reasonable rates, but great care is taken to supply an abundance of
wholesome food.
Physical Culture
The institution has well-arranged athletic grounds, and students are
urged to strive for "sound minds in sound bodies." Baseball, tennis,
football, etc., are played. An Athletic Association has oversight of these
games. The school has an excellent athletic record. There were three
baseball teams during the season of 1914.
Reading-Room
In the reading-room are kept the leading newspapers and magazines,
and students are encouraged to spend a short while each day in reading.
The room is well supplied with the best papers and periodicals.
Study Halls and Recitation Rooms
The study halls and recitation rooms have been built after the most
approved plans, and are models of convenience, well lighted, and well
arranged.
Business College Rooms
The large Commercial Hall and adjoining Banking Boom give un-
usual advantages to those desiring a business education. If you desire
a business education you will be pleased here.
Auditorium
The new Auditorium, just completed, is very commodious and hand-
some, and affords to the school unusual opportunities for public enter-
tainments, lectures, etc. The stage is beautiful and well arranged, and
the windows are filled with artistic designs of costly glass.
President's Office
This is located on the first floor of the Main Building, and is con-
venient and easily accessible.
WHITSETT INSTITUTE
Society Halls
Large and elegant halls for the literary societies have been placed in
the new Main Building. The windows are of special designs, and in
size and adaptability to purpose the halls are all that can be desired.
They are handsomely seated with elegant opera chairs. Many fine
portraits are upon the walls. These halls are the special care and
pride of their respective members, and the weekly meetings of the
literary societies are held here.
The Whitsett Library
The Whitsett Library was established by the literary societies and
they make frequent contributions to its support and enlargement.
Several hundred volumes are added each year, and it is an important
factor in school work. All students of the Institute have the advantages
of this Library.
The Library now contains several thousand volumes, and is rapidly
growing. It has two excellent rooms in a convenient part of the MainBuilding.
Health and Beauty
This Piedmont region, from here to Asheville, has long been noted
for healthfulness and charming scenery, and thousands of tourists and
seekers of health annually visit this portion of the State. Eastward
about fifty miles lie Pinehurst and Southern Pines, attracting thousands
yearly by their healthfulness ; on the west the Blue Ridge invites with
its far-famed mountain scenery and numerous delightful resorts. The
town, the Institute, and all the boarding halls, stand upon a commanding
plateau, shaded by native oaks, 800 feet above sea-level. This entire
Piedmont region presents a continuous succession of hill and dale;
sparkling springs of pure water; orchards of fruit of almost every
variety; vines of clustering grapes—a section that for picturesque
variety and genial clime it would be difficult to surpass. Students
invariably improve in health while here.

My dear Friend—For twenty years I have had opportunity to keep in touch
with the good work that Whitsett Institute has been doing for the education of
North Carolina youths. Its environment is of the best, the moral influence elevating,
the instruction such as to fit students for usefulness, and the general spirit of your
institution has blessed every portion of North Carolina. I congratulate you upon
what you have been able to accomplish in the past, and with increased equipment,
better facilities, and a larger faculty, I look forward to see its usefulness multiplied
an hundredfold.
I am with highest esteem, and best wishes for your continued success,
Sincerely yours,
Josephus Daniels.

WHAT LEADING EDUCATORS THINK
President's Office,
University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill, N. C.
It gives me pleasure to say that we have had a large number of students from
Whitsett Institute, and that there are at present some twenty or thirty in the
University. We are pleased with the strong, earnest men who have come from this
school, and they have proved themselves useful, cultivated citizens in all parts of
the State. We wish the school all possible success.
Very truly,
Francis P. Venable, President.
Wake Forest College,
Office of the President,
Wake Forest, N. CWhitsett Institute has sent a number of students to Wake Forest College. I
am glad to bear testimony to the fact that its work of preparation is well done,
and that a number of its representatives have been among our most successful
students.
Wm. Louis Poteat, President.
Baptist University for Women,
Office of the President,
Raleigh, N. C.
My knowledge of Whitsett Institute has impressed me with the beauty and
healthfulness of its location, the excellence of its equipment, and the thoroughness
of its work. Under the wise and efficient direction of its scholarly President,
Dr. Whitsett, it has taken rank among the leading schools in the State.
E. T. Vann, President.
Students from Whitsett Institute are received at the University of North
Carolina, Wake Forest College, Davidson College, and other leading institutions
in this and other States, without examination. This makes a Diploma from this
school of decided advantage. Whitsett Institute has full power given it under its
act of incorporation to grant Diplomas to such of its students as complete the
courses of study here offered.
Whitsett Institute is one of the schools on the list of "Approved Schools" at
the University of North Carolina.

Course of Study
Teachers' Normal Department
Those who enter the Teachers' Normal Course and find that they
are deficient in any of their literary studies, such as Arithmetic,
English, History, Geography, Algebra, or any other branches, are
allowed to take any and all studies needed from the Regular Literary
Course. In addition to these literary studies, as needed, they are given
all or a part of the special work named below. The work is adapted to
individual needs.
"Theory and Practice of Teaching" Lectures
"Methods of Teaching" Lectures
"The Teacher and the School" Colgrove
"The Recitation" Hamilton
"Elements of Pedagogy" White, Compayre
"History of Education" Painter
"Special Methods" McMurray
Special study of Cornenius, Pestalozzi, Rousseau, etc., and exam-
ination into their educational principles.
Prominent educators lecture occasionally on special phases of edu-
cational work. Special work is also done in Psychology with reference
to the teacher's work; extracts are read and studied from "Lectures
on Teaching," by Fitch; "Education as a Science," by Bain; "TheTrue Order of Studies," by Hill, etc. The work given is fully abreast
of the times in the later and more advanced methods of instruction.
Students have no trouble in securing First Grade Certificates after
completing this course. So far as we know, no student holding our
Teacher's Diploma has ever failed to secure a First Grade Certificate.
The only Life Certificate granted during 1897 by the North Carolina
State Board of Examiners to a public school teacher was granted to a
graduate of Whitsett Institute.
Reasonable Rates
It is true many teachers receive low salaries; but in view of this,
we have placed our rate so low as to put a normal training within the
reach of every aspiring young person engaged in teaching. This
Normal Department is open during the entire school year, and students
can enter at such time as is most convenient.

Many Successful Graduates
Within the past few years teachers prepared at Whitsett Institute
have been engaged in teaching in the following counties in North Caro-
lina: Camden, Cabarrus, Perquimans, Bertie, Beaufort, Washington,
Dare, Davidson, Harnett, Cumberland, Wake, Chatham, Nash, Warren,
Franklin, Granville, Orange, Caswell, Scotland, Alamance, Rocking-
ham, Guilford, Stokes, Forsyth, Rowan, Mecklenburg, Northampton,
Halifax, Davie, and many others. Our graduates have given satis-
faction as teachers and principals in the best graded schools of the State,
including the schools of Greensboro, High Point, Goldsboro, Morganton,
Durham, etc. ; numerous county high schools, etc. Numbers have gone
to other states, as South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Texas, etc. Scores
have become teachers in Guilford County alone. This is sufficient to
show the usefulness of this course of study. The normal training is
given by a university graduate in normal work.
Teacher's Normal Diploma
The Teacher's Normal Diploma is granted to the graduates of this
department. One who already has a First Grade Teacher's Certificate
can usually complete our Normal Course in five months. It usually
takes a Second Grade Certificate teacher ten months to complete the
Normal Course.
Good Teachers in Demand
The day of poorly prepared teachers is fast passing away and the
demand for trained workers in the schoolroom is daily increasing.
Our object is to give to young men and women accurate scholarship,
together with such professional knowledge as is needed to convert the
scholar into the teacher.
Prepare for Better Salary
This course is designed for those preparing to teach, also for those
who have been teaching but desire to better fit themselves for the work.
The work is chosen with special reference to each student's needs. Onecan enter and take any portion of the course desired. Teachers are
thoroughly prepared either for public or private schools. The success
of our former students in this department is ample evidence of the value
of such training.
Many have gone directly from their course of study to graded school
work, and as teachers and principals of high schools and academies.
Those who have remained in public school work have greatly increased
salaries to reward them for their additional preparation.
14 W HIT SETT INSTITUTE
Special to Public School Teachers
Section 4167 of the new Public School Law as passed by the Legis-
lature of 1909 reads: "A properly signed certificate of continuous
attendance at some school of good standing for a period of not less than
three weeks may be accepted by the County Superintendent of Schools
as a substitute for attendance on the biennial Teachers' Institute."
Certificates will be given to those who attend the Normal School.

To Whom it May Concern:
I have watched with interest and pride the remarkably successful career of
Whitsett Institute. I have known for many years, somewhat intimately, its able
President. I have no hesitation in commending the institution to the public as
worthy of confidence and support. I believe it to be a school of which the whole
State may be proud.
Very respectfully,
J. Y. Joynee,
State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
This Normal Department is open the entire school year. Students can enter
at any time.

I write to tell you how much pleasure my visit to your institution gave me,
and how much I appreciate the great work you have done for the large area from
which your students come. I would like to say that everything I saw made a most
favorable impression on me. I feel that young men entrusted to your care are
to be congratulated, and that your State owes a debt of gratitude to such men as
yourself, who are spending their lives in such conspicuous service.
Cordially yours,
Henry Louis Smith. President.
(From the President of the University of Virginia, Edioin A. Alderman, D. C. L.,

It gives me pleasure to bear testimony to the high character of Whitsett
Institute, and to the scholarship, high character and ability of its principal,
Dr. W. T. Whitsett. Dr. Whitsett is a graduate of the University, and by his
energy and high conception of the teacher's office has built up a fine school, whose
pupils show evidence of thorough training.
Respectfully,

Course of Study
BUSINESS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT
HITSETT BUSINESS COLLEGE has a large and well-
arranged Commercial Hall, with Banking Boom and Busi-
ness Bractice Department adjoining. This department
has long been well patronized, and has many graduates
each year. The course of study and the accommodations
offered are superior in all respects. The course of study is
thorough and complete, yet brief enough to be finished in
a few months by a working student.
Bookkeeping
A student is made thoroughly familiar 'with the principles and
science of both Single- and Double-Entry Bookkeeping. Various sets
of books are opened, written up, and closed by the students. Sets of
books are written up in wholesale and retail mercantile business,
partnership, personal accounts, commission, jobbing, revenue, banking,
etc.—in a word, everything necessary to make the student familiar with
the world of business as it is.
This course is a fine combination of both theory and actual practice,
and we can refer to scores of successful business men now engaged in
active life who were trained here. You will be pleased with this workin every respect.
Commercial Law
Commercial Law receives its due share of attention ; the student is
instructed in the laws of contract, the laws of agencies, partnerships,
corporations, liens, bailments, etc. The subject is taught by frequent
recitations and lectures.
Business Correspondence
Business correspondence receives much attention throughout the
entire course.
Commercial Arithmetic
Business Arithmetic is one of the essential branches of a complete
business course, and all students in this department are required to
take it.
16 WHITSETT INSTITUTE
Business Practice
Special Blank Books, Blanks, actual Business Forms, Business
Stationery, etc., are all a part of this Business Course.
Banking
A full course in Banking is given free to all students in this depart-
ment. A student holds the various positions of cashier, president, etc.,
in the College Bank, and thus acquires actual business experience.
Typewriting
Our course in typewriting is thorough, and fits students for all
branches of such work. The best results in speed and accuracy are
obtained. Instruction is given also in the use and care of the type-
writer, manipulation of the machine, proper touch and fingering, writ-
ing of all business forms, letters of every kind, etc.
A course in Letter Writing, Punctuation, Composition, etc., is given
free to all typewriting students.
The standard machines alone are used, such as the Bemington, the
Bar Lock, etc. Students practice on all these, and are thus prepared
to use any style of machine when they go into office work. The type-
writer has opened up a new field of agreeable, light, and profitable work.
Many young men and women are availing themselves of it.
Business men everywhere are demanding typewriting; and it is to
meet the demand for trained operators that this department exists. It
takes about five months to complete the course.
Shorthand
This is a popular course of study. The demand for expert short-
hand writers is such that no graduate who cares to secure a position
need remain idle. Lucrative positions are always waiting for successful
graduates. A few months spent in this department will insure a good
job at a good salary at any time. Good stenographers are always in
demand. We have not been able to supply graduates to many firms
that have written us, because students are often engaged for positions
weeks before graduation. We advise that Typewriting be taken in
connection with Shorthand. Our course in Shorthand is practical,
reasonably easy to learn, and entirely satisfactory.
Diplomas are awarded to all graduates. It requires from three to
six or eight months to complete the full course.

Penmanship and Drawing
A Complete course of lessons in the beautiful Speneerian System
of Penmanship is offered. Any student may become a good penman
by following the instructions given. The copies are placed upon the
board and analyzed, until the pupil fixes in his mind an ideal form.
Principles, movement, etc., receive special attention. No "copy-books"
are used, but all the copies are written by an experienced teacher; this
secures the very best results. Instruction is also offered in Lettering,
Drawing, and Sketching. A gold medal is awarded each five months
to the student who makes the greatest improvement in penmanship
during that time. The classes in Penmanship and Drawing have been
largely attended for years, and students take great interest in these
courses.
Positions Secured
The common complaint, "I can not find a position," has never been
heard from the students who have taken this course. This speaks for
itself. We prepare students, hence they can secure positions readily.
We award no diploma until the student completes the course, therefore
it makes the diploma mean something. The course of study is worth
many times its cost, and we can not recommend it too highly.
Three to Five Months
We do not promise to carry you through our course in a few weeks
—
it takes the average student from four to five months; but we do
promise that when you have completed it you will have a vast store of
useful knowledge.
The age demands well-trained young men—young men who are
prepared to do business on business principles. Why not prepare your-
self to play well your part ? Hundreds of others no more talented than
you are rapidly climbing the ladder of success; why should not you?You can do as well, or better, if you will only prepare yourself.
Students who care to do so can take, in connection with the workin the Business College, studies from the Literary Course. Those whoenter somewhat deficient in the regular branches frequently do this.
Successful Graduates
We refer to scores of graduates of this Business College to be foundin towns all over North Carolina and other states, as to the value of
this course of study.
See the long list of successful graduates printed on the last pages of
this catalogue.
18 WHIT SETT INSTITUTE
Get Ready for Success
If you expect to enter commercial life, or have not time for a com-
plete literary course of study, you can not afford to be without a course
of business training.
Diploma
A very handsome Diploma is granted under the seal of the institu-
tion to all who complete the Business Course. This Diploma is an.
excellent passport to success.
Low Rates
You will see from the table of Expenses on pages 19 to 21 that you
can save money by coming here for your Business Course.

To Whom it May Concern:
I know Whitsett Institute. It is doing excellent work. Its President is a
gentleman of the highest character, and exercises a thorough supervision over it.
Dr. Whitsett is one of North Carolina's most cultured and progressive educators,
and I take pleasure in commending Whitsett Institute.

(From Rev. Thomas Carrick, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Thomasville
Baptist Orphanage)
Whitsett Institute, presided over by the genial and cultured Dr. W. T. Whit-
sett, is an ideal place for a high school. I sent my son to this school the past year
and I do not hesitate to say that the school gave me the very best satisfaction in
all of its departments.
I wish further to say that I do not know of any better place to send a student
to secure a good, practical education or preparation for college.
Respectfully,
Thomas Caekick.

This includes tuition in any course of study, table hoard, furnished
room, bed, bedding, fuel, and lights.
Total expense for the Fall Session from the last Wednesday in
August until the Christmas vacation, $70.25 to $87.50. This includes

board, furnished room, bed, bedding, fuel, and lights. We makethis quotation for those who can only attend the Spring Session.
The variation as noted in the cost depends upon the room selected,
the boarding-house chosen, etc. Students are allowed their choice as
to how many shall occupy a room. If left to us we arrange matters to
the students' best advantage. We have rooms for students who wish
to room alone, also for those who wish two or three to occupy the same
room.
Above prices cover everything except laundry and text-books.
Laundry is done at the standard prices, and agents collect and deliver
all work free. The laundry bill will be as low here as it would be at
home.
Text-books are supplied at the regular rates, an outfit of books cost-
ing usually about $5.00. Second-hand books may be had when desired.
The school maintains a supply room for text-books for the convenience
of students.
Students who desire to make their own boarding arrangements can
find plenty of good boarding places in families very convenient to the
school, and right in town, at $10, $11, and $12 per month.
We call special attention to our boarding arrangements, for, while
this is a source of much trouble at many schools, we have had no com-
plaints for years. We have succeeded in giving entire satisfaction to
our student body.

The prices quoted above include tuition as stated, but for those
who may desire to figure tuition for themselves, and look after their
own boarding arrangements, we may quote the following rates
:
Tuition for Fall Term in any course of study $25.00
Tuition for Spring Term in any course of study 30.00
In the Senior Year of the Literary Course, or of the Scientific Course, there

EI^Board and tuition payable one-half on entrance, remainder at

We think that a student may attend here for as little expense as
anywhere. By the help of the scholarships, described on page 22 of
this catalogue, he may reduce tuition. Worthy students will always be
helped in all possible ways.
If you desire an education, come here; you will be welcome, and
we shall be glad to do everything possible to aid you.
We have cottages in which students who wish to reduce cost of living
to lowest possible figures conduct "Mess Clubs." Kent, one dollar per
month to each stiident. Write for further particulars. A special "Mess
Club" House has been built recently, and has proved a great convenience
to those desiring to attend school at lowest possible rates. It is a good
house, with kitchens, etc., attached.
TJhose who can not pay half in advance are allowed to pay monthly.
Diplomas, Certificates of Proficiency, etc., are awarded when a
student completes any of the required courses.
JEWStudents need but little pocket-money here, as we have no long
list of "extras" or "incidentals." You can see exactly what it will cost
you before coming. In this respect we differ from many schools.
Patrons will please remit either by Check, Registered Letter, or
Money Order. Whitsett, N. C, is a money-order office.
We make no calculations for losses, and it is expected that bills will
be met promptly.

Deposit of Money
Where it is possible, a student should always make a deposit of
money with the school when entering, to be applied to board, tuition,
etc., as these fall due. Most students keep a deposit of money, and
draw upon it as needed. A certificate of deposit is given for all money
deposited, and this insures a student against any possible loss or accident
from careless handling of money.
A Word to Parents
If your son is inclined to be extravagant in the use of money, make
a deposit with the school, and we will see that it is spent properly.
Statements will be rendered parents every four weeks on such deposits.
Office of
County Superintendent of Education,
Guilford County, Greensboro, N. C.
To Whom it May Concern:
I have known Prof. J. H. Joyner, of Whitsett Institute, for the past twelve
years or more. Since coming to this county nine years ago, I have kept in close
touch with him and have had a good opportunity to judge of him, both as a manand as a teacher.
He is a strong school man. His education, temperament, and character qualify
him well for the training of young people. He is thoroughly conscientious, capable,
and adaptable to the work in which he is engaged.
Yours very truly,
Thos. R. Foust,
County Superintendent.
(From Eon. Alfred M. Scales, Greensboro, N. C.)
To Whom it May Concern:
Being well acquainted with the faculty, the location, the students, and the work
of Whitsett Institute, I have no hesitancy in pronouncing it one of the best of schools.
The location is most excellent, an ideal place for a school or college. The superin-
tendent is one of the most progressive educators in the State, and always has an
able corps of teachers to assist him. The many young men and women sent forth
from this Institute, who are now filling places of trust and honor in the State, are
the best evidences of its excellence.
Very respectfully, A. M. Scales.
Scholarships, Prizes, Etc.
Whitiett Scholarship Fund
Through the liberality of some friends in 1897, a fund was estab-
lished here, known as the "WHTTSETT SCHOLAESHIP FUND."This has helped many who otherwise could not have attended school.
These scholarships are applied to the tuition expenses of deserving
students.
These scholarships have been awarded in the past chiefly to those
students who have been here a term or two and proved themselves
deserving of help. Those unknown to the school should always secure
testimonials as to standing, character, etc., and present them whenmaking application for help from the "Whitsett Scholarship Fund."A scholarship will be given only to meritorious students of ability
unable to secure help otherwise; and this help is withdrawn when a
student fails in study or deportment.
University of North Carolina Scholarship
A scholarship at the University of North Carolina is offered each
year to some worthy student.
Agricultural and Mechanical College Scholarship
A scholarship at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and the
Mechanic Arts is offered each year to some worthy student.
Washington and Lee University Scholarship
A scholarship at the Washington and Lee University is offered each
year to some worthy student.
A number of medals and prizes have been established here also,
which are contested for under certain conditions from time to time each
school year.
It is the policy of the school to aid all worthy students, so far as
possible, who are desirous of an education, and who need help to con-
tinue in school.

Athletics
A strong Athletic Association is maintained at all times, and this
has control of all athletic events. Football and baseball teams afford
constant opportunities for all who like these games ; while games of
tennis, various track events, etc., allow constant variety. A teacher
always accompanies the teams when they are away from the homegrounds, and constant supervision is a safeguard against any objection-
able features. We are firm believers in pure, healthful sport, and clean
athletics, and point with pride to the past record of the school along
this line.
Our athletic grounds are well located and are kept in excellent con-
dition. We have one of the best baseball diamonds in the State.
Almost every afternoon finds scores of students on the athletic grounds.
We are believers in plenty of faithful study, and then all needful sport
and recreation.
In addition to the games named below there were numerous class
games, intersociety games, etc. Our schedule is always so arranged
that the games interfere but little with regular school duties, being
played on holidays, afternoons, etc. During this season we have had
three regularly organized baseball teams.

Fine Athletic Record
Whitsett has had for years one of the best baseball teams in the
State. The two coaches for the past two years, Carroll and Ray, are
leaders in State and Southern athletic matters. Carroll made such a fine
reputation with the Carolina League that he has been for two years a
member of the Southern League, being now with Birmingham, Ala.,
during their summer season ; Bay is the well-known sensational pitcher
of the Twin-City League Team of the Carolina Association. Both
Carroll and Kay have given much attention to the training of the teame
here with the fine results seen for the past few years ; it is doubtful
if there has been in the State for some years a high-school team with the
all-round strength of the Whitsett team.

opponents.

It will be seen from the above table that the Whitsett team played
through the entire season of 1912 and lost only one game, and that
while they scored 66 runs against opposing teams that they were only
scored on 4 times during the entire season. This is a very remarkable
record, seldom equalled in baseball.
The original schedule for the season of 1912 embraced twelve games,
but five of these had to be cancelled on account of rain.
From the President of the University of North Carolina
President's Office,
University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill, June 5, 1914.
President W. T. Whitsett,
Whitsett Institute, Whitsett, N. C.
Dear President Whitsett—We have had numbers of your men at the University
and they have done splendid work. Certain ones of them among our graduates of
the past few years stand out in my mind as among our best students.
A school can have no higher recommendation than to have prepared these menfor the successful careers they achieved in college.
It gives me pleasure to commend your school and the fine work it is doing.
Sincerely yours,
Edward K. Graham, President.
General Information
I
HE.N" possible, arrange to arrive the day before the term
begins.
There are always opportunities around the school for
boys who are willing to work, and have but little money.
There is sweeping to be done, wood to chop, rooms to be
kept in order, bells to ring, and a dozen duties by which a
boy can make his way, if he is willing to work and has
"grit." Have a determination that will conquer all
difficulties.
Reports are sent to parents and guardians from time to time, show-
ing the progress of the student. Accurate reports as to scholarship are
sent every ten weeks.
The maltreatment of new students, so common at most schools, finds
no place here. "Playing tricks" and "hazing" ARE NOT ALLOWED. Noone coming here need fear, no matter what grade or course he may enter.
The government of the school is mild, but firm. Constant effort
is made to instill such sentiments of honor and duty as will lead the
pupil to govern himself, but the fact is never lost sight of that obedience
must be enforced if necessary. We have but few rules, but these must
be obeyed. ]STo student who exerts an evil influence over his fellow-
students will be allowed to remain in school. Each student is shown
clearly what is required, and is expected to have such sense of honor
as will lead him to give cheerful obedience.
We are glad to say that we believe the sense of honor and the moral
influence at Whitsett are as good as can be found anywhere.
The school year is divided into two terms—Fall Term and Spring
Term.
Fall Term always opens last Wednesday in August and continues
until the Christmas holidays.
Spring Term always opens first Wednesday in January and con-
tinues five months.
All injuries done to school property must be paid for by the doer.
No student is allowed to leave the Institute under any circumstances
without permission.
W HIT SETT INSTITUTE 27
Sometimes after the opening of the term we may have a few
vacancies, and when such is the case we will receive students even
after the term has opened, and in such case charge only for the unex-
pired part of the term.
Classes will he arranged to suit all demands. To earnest students,
willing to ivorh, we gladly say, "come."
Send all mail, and all parcel post packages direct to Whitsett,
Guilford County, North Carolina. Our post-office is located right on
the grounds here at the school, and mail arrives three times each day
from all points.
All telegrams and express packages should be sent to Gibsonville,
"care Whitsett Institute." They will be immediately sent out to the
school.
Whitsett is connected by local and long distance telephone with all
important points, everywhere.
Parents need have no fear in sending small boys here. They will
be carefully guarded.
Where the parents so desire, we will take entire charge of a student's
expenses, and send statements from month to month showing all items
of expense. Send money by money order or registered letter.
Six churches—Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Reformed, Chris-
tian, and Lutheran—are in easy reach of the school. Ministers of
various denominations also preach in the chapel frequently. Sabbath
schools are regularly held every Sabbath. Lectures by invited speakers
and members of the faculty are given every week. There is an enthu-
siastic Young Men's Christian Association of more than one hundred
members in the school, which holds weekly meetings. In connection
with the Y. M. C. A. are special Bible Classes. The moral influence
here is as good as can be found anywhere. Moral development is as
necessary as intellectual. Nothing sectarian is tolerated. Perfect
harmony has always characterized these features of school life.
Students are allowed to attend the church of their choice.
The school is strictly non-denominational. It appeals for patronage
on merit alone, and no sectarian bias is tolerated. All denominations
are welcome, and all are treated alike. We have no favored class ; andamong- the faculty and students will be found members of various de-
nominations.
None but well-prepared and experienced teachers are employed at
Whitsett. This is a very important matter to consider in selecting a
school.
28 W HIT SETT INSTITUTE
Students who wish to spend the summer here may do so for the
regular rates as advertised in this catalogue. There are always summerboarders here, so students who so desire may spend the entire vacation
here, having access to the Library, etc., and if they so desire may con-
tinue their work under the direction of the faculty.
All needed text-books, stationery, and school supplies may be had
at the Institute at lowest cash prices. Second-hand books may also be
obtained by those who so desire.
Money for all school bills should in most cases be sent direct to the
school and not to students. In this way a parent may always have
control of the expenses of the student.
Students are not allowed to have firearms in their possession while
connected with the school. They will please bring none with them.
Three Literary Societies
There are three well-organized literary societies connected with the
school, viz. : the Athenian Literary Society, the Dialectic Literary
Society, and the Star Literary Circle. These societies are the pride
of the school, and rank among the advantages offered by the Institute.
By the practice here afforded, young people become more self-confident,
and soon become original thinkers, and improve greatly in public
speaking.
Each student is expected to join one of these societies, unless excused
by the faculty. These societies offer each term elegant Gold Medals for
Debate, Declamation, Kecitation, etc. The membership fee is $1.00.
The additional fee for each term is only 50 cents per member.
Choice Building Lots For Sale
Those desiring to move to a place to enjoy educational advantages,
and at the same time have all conveniences of good churches, daily
mails, convenience to railroad, where living expenses are reasonable
and the advantages of the best, will do well to investigate this place.
Choice building lots may be had on easy terms, and it is doubtful if a
location can be found offering better advantages from the various stand-
points of health, convenience, and general desirability. A few small
farms of five and ten acres in size, located convenient to the town of
Whitsett, and the school, are offered on easy terms to homeseekers.
Full information will be gladly furnished interested parties.

This section of North Carolina is an ideal resort for either summer
or winter residence. It is almost absolutely free from malaria, fevers,
etc. Students almost invariably improve in health.
Advantages, Etc.
The social life at Whitsett is refined, cultured, and elevating.
Every effort is made to make this an ideal educational home for the
student.
A post-office (three daily mails) is on the grounds; general supply
stores have been opened—in short, a beautiful town has grown up
around the institution, affording a safe and pleasant place for students
from every section. Temptations to vice and dissipation do not exist.
The moral and social atmosphere is pure.
The place is fully incorporated.
We invite the closest examination in regard to healthfulness, ex-
cellent surroundings, ease of access, and educational facilities. Those
who know the school best are its warmest friends.
Students are here free from the dissipations and distracting in-
fluences of large cities ; and at the same time are near Greensboro, the
most easily reached railroad center in North Carolina. Easy to reach
by railroad from every direction, in the midst of the most beautiful
region of the United States, competent judges have pronounced the
location of Whitsett Institute "an ideal location for a great school."
Our railroad station is on the great Southern Railway at the town
of Gibsonville, which is a manufacturing town of about two thousand
people, just three miles north of Whitsett. The two places are connected
by a fine macadam road, and there is constant communication be-
tween the two points by automobile service, livery service, etc. Tele-
phones connect all points with the school office. The school office call
by telephone is 207-R.
Whitsett Alumni Association
This Association consists of the graduates and former students of
Whitsett. Any one who has ever attended the school is eligible for
membership. Many have already sent in their names, asking to be
enrolled as permanent members, and all to whom this notice may comeare invited to do so.

ITTTDENTS coming from north, west, and south, should buy
tickets to Gibsonville, N. C, and come by way of Greens-
boro. Students from the east buy tickets to Gibsonville,
N. C, and come by way of Durham. You will find a hack,
carriage, or automobile always ready at Gibsonville to
carry you to the school.
Trains arrive at Gibsonville every few hours, and you
will find no trouble in reaching this place. The great
Southern Railway controls this line, and offers an unsurpassed train
service. To understand more fully the location of Whitsett examine
map given below.
Our railroad station and telegraph office is Gibsonville. It is
about fifteen minutes' drive from Gibsonville to Whitsett, the location
of the school. This keeps students from loitering around trains, which
is such a serious trouble at some places, and at the same time the near-
ness to the railroad gives the school all needed railway facilities. Thegreat tide of travel between New York and Washington and Atlanta
and New Orleans passes through this county (Guilford) over the
Southern Railway lines. Local and Long Distance Telephones connect
the school with all points reached by telephone everywhere. This places
patrons in easy touch with the school at all times.

WHITSETT GRADUATES AND STUDENTS
are to be found all over this State and other states. To all such we
gladly refer as to the advantages offered at Whitsett. Their success is
proof of the excellent work done here. We name a few, and, had wespace, would name scores of other successful students educated at
Whitsett Institute.
The lists are by no means complete, but are hastily made up to give
some slight idea of the excellent success that has characterized the
graduates of the school wherever they have gone. We hope that the
scores whose names do not appear here will feel that we rejoice in their
success just as much as in the case of these we name.
