THE MOUNT ZION MALE & FEMALE COLLEGE, LIMITED

Six Miles North of Montgomery, La.


We are glad to inform our friends and the public generally that
we have secured the services of Professor C. C. HARRIS, A. M.,
formerly Professor Latin and Mathematics at Mt. Lebanon
University, and late President of the Agricultural College at
Calhoun, La., as President of Mt. Zion Male and Female College.

No expense will be spared to elevate this institution to a place
among the foremost Colleges of the State. 

This school is non-sectarian, but is directly under the watch
care of the Methodist Protestant Church.  

The location is peculiarly favorable to the successful operation
of a College of high grade and scholarly tone.

Holding the opinion that the true end of education is to elevate
the morals, develop the phisique and train the mind of the pupil,
thus qualifying him as a useful and honorable citizen, we have
lopped off all useless expenses, and reduced the cost to a
minimum.  

Good board in private families, convenient to the College, can be
had for only six to eight dollars per month.

Tuition:

Primary Department per mo. of 20 days-$ 1.50
Preparatory and Classical               2.00
Collegiate and Normal                   3.00
Music                                   3.50
Incidental Fee per session              1.00

Thus the total cost need not exceed ten dollars per month.

The next session will commence October 7, 1890.  We ask parents
who have sons and daughters to educate to give us a trial.  Write
for further information to Prof. C. C. Harris, President of
College, or to Rev. I. R. Strickland, President Board of
Directors, both of Montgomery, La.

W. L. Ford,
Secretary Board of Directors
