steadily increasing that he has been forced
to employ an assistant. Mr.. w. G. Owen, q
graduate OF Centenary College, Louisi

There are now fifty scholars on the roll
with good prospect of being increased t,
seventy-tive. The High School is organ
lied on the military basis. The cadets drill
daily in infantry tactics, and are inspected
every morning to see that they are orderly
and neat in their appearance. Companies
