Horner Military School
https://www.cmstory.org/exhibits/robinson-spangler-north-carolina-room-image-collection-charlotte-postcard-collection/horner Horner Military School was a military academy of North Carolina, United States. The school was founded by James H. Horner in 1851 in Oxford, North Carolina. It was run by Horner and his sons. The school was moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in 1914 after a fire destroyed the barracks. It was at that time housed in a "fireproof" concrete and brick building located at the tallest point of the Myers Park area of Charlotte. Today Myers Park Country Club is located next to this site. The Myers Park Country Club bought much of the grounds associated with the school and training grounds and now houses multiple buildings, pool and tennis facilities and an elite golf course. The school itself was closed in 1920. The original building remains and is now a privately-owned condominium building housing 21 units known as the Country Club Rockledge. See also *List of d ...

Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people.
