The Jefferson School For Boys.
In looking over the educational field
of this vicinity we unhesitatingly
pronounce the Jefferson School for
Boys to be one of the very best in Virginia,
both as regards accomodation,
improvements, scope and character of
education imparted, rapid progress
under a competent staff of teachers,
and for its pupils a well grounded certainty
of not only being fitted for securing
renumerative employment after
graduation but of being thoroughly
prepared also for any course of college
instruction. There is an evident need
in this city for a high class school for
boys, and the exceptional climate of
Charlottesville makes it a most desirable
location for a school, which can
offer to boys from the colder states a
home in a land of comparatively mild
winters, and to boys from the states
further south the bracing atmosphere
of the unsurpassed Piedmont region of
the Blue Ridge. The purpose of the

school is simple: To make men; to train
the boys entrusted to it and develop
them into the most effective men, the
very best men that their natures allow.
This training takes a varied form,
dependent upon whether the boy is to
be fitted for business or for a profession,
and in all cases is guided by the individuality
of the pupil. Only those
methods approved by the best modern
pedagogy are employed, and every
class in the school is under the constant
supervision of the Headmaster.
The latter has had the experience of
nearly ten years of teaching, from the
lower grammar grades through the
senior courses of the University; and
to this has been added a painstaking
technical study of the best modern
methods, so that no effort is spared to
make the training offered by the
school as complete as are the demands
of our progressive age. Professor E.
Reinhold Rogers, M. A., Ph. D., is a
graduate of the University of Virginia,
class of 1899, and is an educator of the
highest attainments. He possesses
marked educational and executive
ability. He is a native of Petersburg,
Va., and a gentleman of the highest
standing in the community. The
halls of the old mansion in which the
school is located are spacious and well
equipped, and are fully supplied with
every necessity for carrying out the
system of instruction. Students can
always rely upon receiving a good
academic education here, one far superior
to that afforded elsewhere in
this vicinity, yet acquired at a very
moderate cost. A visit from educators
parents and guardians is welcomed
by the school.
