Lock Haven. Pennsylvania. Thls institution has, in Media, a favored location, on account of our temperance charter, the churches, mail, telegraph, railroad, and other facilities. But aside from these, its brilliant success is due largely to other causes, which we shall briefly note. The school and grounds at this season present a fine appearance, and the students who remain for the summer, are enjoying in turn a short daily school session, base ball, quiet and rest on the lawn under the beautiful shade trees, fishing, boating, and a score of amusements which only a school boy knows. The building which presents such a fine exterior, is a model for school purposes in its appointments. As you enter the large hall, you notice on each hand fine cabinets of minerals, fully illustrating Dana's Manual, and at the far end of the large school room, cases of philosophical apparatus, to afford full practical experiments in the ordinary text-books on pneumatics, hydraulics, hydrostatics, mechanical powers, electricity, galvanism, optics, acoustics, astronomy, etc. On the walls hang charts and maps to explain many subjects, such as geography, history, physiology, literature, etc., and there is blackboard surface by the hundred square feet. Adjoining the school room are two other class rooms, all supplied with appropriate furniture, maps, etc., for class work. In the story below the school room are two other class rooms, and a laboratory fitted up with cases, gas, and the other appointments for chemical analysis. In the three upper stories are the students' rooms, which look like firstclass hotel accommodations. You see here nothing of the old boarding school dormitory. These rooms are for two, and are fitted out with neat cottage suits, including bureau, wardrobe, single or double bedstead, as the pupils prefer, good mattress and pillows, blankets, neat white spreads, etc., wash-stand, wash-bowl, pitcher, etc., and towel-rack and table. Most of them are tastefully ornamented with pictures, and have a strip of carpet spread on the clean looking oiled floor. There are fiftyfive of these rooms for the students. While in the upper stories we enjoyed a view of the Delaware river nearly as ar as Philadelphia. On our return to the first floor we noticed the large dining room, capable of seating one hundred pupils. This is used also for some of the school lectures, of which Mr. Shortlidge has a large number each year, on the different branches pursued. The dining and culinary departments of the school are complete and receive no less attention from Mr. and Mrs. Shortlidge than the The 62nd year opens Sep-scholastic department.

Looking over the catalogue and circular, we notice the academy is recommended and patronized by some of the best known men in the country. By Judge Van Hoesen of New York, Governor Routt of Colorado, Chief Justice Hawley of Nevada, John F. Robinson, Esq., of Arkansas, J. Lee Hopkins of Tennessee, Gen. Martin, M. C., of Illinois Commander Breese, of the U. S. N., Prof. Blauvelt, U. S. Naval Academy, Gen. Chas. H. T. Collis, of Philadelphia, Samuel Bancroft, of Pennsylvania, Col. Joshua Clayton, of Delaware, Col. John Tilghman, of Maryland, Mr. C.A. Trowbridge,of N. Y., Manuel Garcia, etc. During the past year Hon. Fernando Wood of New York City, had two sons with Mr. Shortlidge. But whether the sons of men so well known as the above or not the students are all of the best and most desirable class of patrons, as the reputation they have established in Media will attest. The testimonials from many of the patrons are of the most discriminating and flattering character, commending the location, the accommodations, the discipline and home-like character, the methods of instruction, the thoroughness and efficiency characterizing the entire institution. We might add much to this hasty sketch, but space authority as Richard J. Hinton of California, whose sen will not allow. It is sufficient to quote so good an was at the school three years. "Parents find it not only a good school, but a home-like, cheerful establishment, where rational ideas of training combine to make that wholesome mental, moral, and physical atmosphere which is so necessary to the growth of healthy youth." (From the Media “American,” Media, Penn., June 19th, 1878.) "This Institution closed its fourth school year in Media, on Thursday last. Mr. Shortlidge did not interrupt the regular class work at the end of the term by any exercises which may be called a "Commencement." We are glad, however, in reporting the closing exercises of our institutions of learning, to include the MEDIA ACADEMY, re (From Media Record, Media, Pennsylvania, June 19th, 1878.) "A recent visit of inspection to Mr. SHORTLIDGE'S MEDIA ACADEMY has afforded us much pleasure, which we are sure our readers will be glad to share through the col-ferring in general to the work of the year. The school umns of the RECORD. opened September 10th, and closed June 14th, 1878. Pennsylvania. There were ten teachers and one hundred pupils. The corps of instructors comprises one Harvard graduate, four Yale graduates, a French professor, a German professor, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a professor of book-keeping and penmanship, and a professor of vocal and instrumental music. The courses of study are English, business, scientific, and classical. Pupils have been fitted at the Academy this year to enter Yale, Princeton, Lehigh, and Lafayette Colleges, but a far larger number were fitting for business. Altogether the past year was the most successful Mr. Shortlidge has had. The class of young men and boys was unusually excellent. The students won the respect of our citizens by their uniformly gentlemanly demeanor: they always showed a dignified self-respect, not generally characteristic of school-boys, which speaks well for the discipline and influence of the Academy. We gladly make record of this, as it was noticed by our people, and favorably commented upon by all. But it is not surprising that Mr. Shortlidge has built up a first-class Institution in our Borough. He is unwearied in his work, scarcely ever leaving the Academy for even an hour at a time during school sessions; every department thus feels at all times the master's presence. We predict for the MEDIA ACADEMY increased popularity and usefulness." Philadelphia. Academy of the Assumption (Manayunk). Academy of Notre Dame. Principally intended for Day Scholars.
