Reorganization of the City Schools.

Reorganization of the City Schools.
1t became evident from the first, that
owing to the crowded condition of the
rooms in the different city public schools of
Knoxville, some provisions would have to
be made to relieve the pressure. Through
the earnest efforts of the board of educa-
ton and the courtesy of the board of trus-
tees Of the Female Institute, the building
on Main street was leased for that purpose,
as has before been stated. Into it,
on Tuesday, were transferred the five
highest grades in the Hampden Sidney
building, which was the girls high school.
The Female Institute is now the high school.
| 1t has been thoroughly repaired and fitted
! up, and is very appropriate place for this
! school The first floor is occupied by Miss
Mollie Hayes and Miss Rosa Leftwich, with
the 9th and 8th grades. Miss NJ. A.
Fletcher, the principal, and her assistant
Miss Lucy Crozier, occupy the second floor
with the 7th, 9th and 10th grades.
Into the rooms thus vacated in the Hamp
! den sidney, were transferred the girls OF
the Sd and 4th grades in the Peabody, and
the Sd grade in the Bell House. So tina
now, no girls are in the Peabody and Bel
House schools higher than the I'd grade
From the Bell House were also transferred
a portion of the 9Th grade boys to the Pea
body. This gives relief all around, ant
will enable the teachers to do more indi
vidual and better work.
The following changes have been made
in the corps of teachers: Miss Hoffer ha
been transferred from the Peabody to tn
Bell House Miss Woodward, Mrs. Cum
Minis and Mrs. Belle Smith from the Bel
House to the Hampden Sidney. Miss Id
Lee becomes Principal of the Hampdel
Sidney, and Miss Mary Odell has beel
elected to fill a vacancy in the Bell House
