every want looked after with
the same pains as if the student were in his or her own home.

Christian Influences: Indianapolis is a city of numerous beautiful
churches of all denominations, many of which are in the immediate
vicinity of the Institute. During the entire stay, students are
surrounded by the very best moral and religious influences and each
Sunday sees groups of students leaving the Institute to attend services
at the different churches.

Children Properly Cared For: Children placed in our care are given
special attention. As with the other students they are surrounded with
the most wholesome moral influences. Regulations provide that they must
remain inside the Institute grounds except during the proper hours of
the day, following their regular work. It is a very frequent occurrence

that children make so many good friends that they are reluctant indeed
when the time comes for them to return home. Many of our students can
testify that some of the finest friendships of their lives had their
beginning here at the Bogue Institute.

Care for Ladies: My lady-assistants, as well as Mother Bogue, will see
to the comfort and enjoyment of lady-pupils. Ladies have their own
dormitories in a separate portion of the building and find their stay a
most enjoyable one.

A Reflection of Ideals: The congenial home-life at the Institute, the
minute attention to the wants of the students, the care given to women
and children, the solicitude for those who are ill or who for any
reason need special attention--this is but the reflection of an
ideal--that ideal is to make the Bog
