The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1878-08-08
Pulaski High School.

We learn that Prof. VIM. Carroll,
PHI D., of Virginia, will be here in a
few days to locate as a teacher in
Pulaski. He will be associated with
Prof. w. I. Mann, as Principal of
the Male School. Dr. Carrots
comes with the flattering recommen-
datiOns as a teacher and christian
| gentleman. He has had i wide and
successful experience as an educa-
tor in the South. As an evidence
/ of his merit and success, the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy has been
conferred on him by two colleges,
Howard College, Ala, and Gettys-
burg College, Pa
The Petersburg Index-Appeal of
the 18th ult., in speaking Of the ac-
ton of the colleges in comforting
the degree on Prof. Carroll, says:
We are sure that the title was
never bestowed upon any modern
to whom the literature of antiquity
and especially that of classic Greece,
had become more familiar, or by
whom it was more beloved. Prof
Carroll occupied for several years
the chair of Greek in Lynchbure
college, and is remembered with at
fection and gratitude by many of
the students to whom he impaired
so faithfully the mysteries of that
rich language and literature. 1t
will not be considered in i'll taste
for us to refer to the fact. that
/ during the ravages of the yellow
fever in Memphis, three or four
years ago, Prot Carroll, who was
then teaching in that city, remained
at his post, when every body who
could Zee had fled, and distin-
guished himself by his humane and
heroic labors in the care of the sick
and dying 1t is not often that
qualities so amlable and courageous
and services so practical and effec
tive, are found combined in a gen
tleman whose studies make the dim
past as real to him as the present,
and whose highest delight consists
in renewing the age of Pericles and
reviving the Homeric page. The
trustees of the institut ions referred
to have done themselves credit by
the bestowal of sholastic hOnors on
a gentleman so eminently deserving
as Prof. Carroll.
The services of Col. Rogers, A.
NJ, an honored graduate of West
Point, have also been secured for
the school. The Col. has been long
and favorably known as teacher
of the highest order of talents. AS
a teacher of mathematics he is un--
excelled. His pupils rarely fail to
pass the examinations at West
Point and the u. S. Naval Academy.
One of his pupils is now an officer
in the Z. S. Navy, and another is
now in the Naval Academy, while
manly others adorn the highest pro
fessions of life. Prof. Mann is a
graduate of Hampden Sidney Col
lege, Va, and has the highest testi-
monials as a successful teacher.
The school has now an able and eff
cient faculty, and we shall soon ex-
pect to see it take that prominent
position among the schools of the
country to which its location and
nateral advantages would entitle it.
The principals are gentlemen of
enterprise and means and give
every guarantee of their ability to
give us what we have long been
needing-a first class male school.
The Giles College property is now
undergoing such repairs as will fit
it for the purposes of the school,
and it will be furnished with i'm
proved furniture and modern appa-
ratus. We think the principals
have been very fortunate in the Sc
lection of q location for their school.
We know of no place where such
are offered for such a
and where the prospects of
success are more tlatt@'ing. Pu-
laski is one of the most fourishlng
towns in the South. 1t now claims
between 8 and 4 thousand inhabi
tants, and is rapidly growing into
city. 1t has its extensive trade, its
business houses, its fine
hotels, it's banks, its churches and
its female school. What it now
needs is first-class male school, and !
we will say the water works, and the
measure of its success will he full. !
The enterprising gentlemen in
charge of Giles college promise to |
give US the school we need, if the !
good citizens of Pulaski viii coop |
crate with them, with a reasonable |
of public spirit, and we will
then soon have the water works. |
Let us give them hearty support.
