The structure is large, commodious and convenient; it is well lighted, heated, and ventilated; it has four large recitation or class rooms on the first floor and two small roomscloak room and officewith hall through the center of the house. Upstairs there is an auditorium with a seating capacity of about 500, and two large recitation rooms, with folding doors that can be opened into the audience hall, and used for seating several hundred more spectators, when necessary, giving view to the rostrum.
 The building is surrounded by a beautiful campus of about twelve acres, which is covered with magnificent shade trees, and in this grove are several wells and springs of fine water.
The institution is under the able principalship of Prof. W. V. Fant, who is giving eminent satisfaction, and he has the efficient corps of assistants, Miss Bertha Buie, Miss Bessie Winslow and Mrs. J. M. Hardy with Mrs. Bessie Ryan as music teacher. The enrollment at present numbers 156.
