Deerjield Academy and
Dickinson High School
This time-honored institution of learning,
established by our ancestors in 1799, and fur-
ther endowed through the generosity of a
woman of our own time, deserves a liberal pat-
ronage from neighboring towns.
Easy of access by rail and trolley, it still
has the charm of quiet and historic surround-
ings. It prepares for college and for technical
schools, and offers courses in manual training
and domestic science.
Physical culture and athletics are required,
under the supervision and control of the teachers.
Those boys and girls who for any reason do
not desire college or technical training may
receive here an excellent general education.
