THE NEW FACULTY,
Martin College Presents Splendid
Corps Of Educators.

ulGy Vi hdTIlH OOAiCSS' we WeT
not in possession ofall the necessar,
points and reserved comment unit
this week. 1t has been suggested
from various sources that Prof
Jones ought to have more time on
of the school room to manage tn
business affairs of the College, nov
grown to be quite onerous and in
volving great responsibility and re
quiring rare executive ability. H,
has brought Martin College up Il
its present eminent status while do
ing full work in the study hall him
self, and it became evident that the
limit of its usefulness could he in
finitely extended if he could be ena
hled to give more attention to ex
traneoqs matters. The 0rganiza-
ton of the present faculty had this
as one of the ends in view and il
will be observed that the branches
to be taught by the different mem
bers of 1.-THE faculty cover the entire
ground. 1t is not meant nor in
tended TO release Brof Jones from q
strict personal supervision and &C
tive participation in teaching, but
to relieve him Of details and to ex-
tend his supervision. This ar
rangement will inevitably tell upon
the effectiveness or the College
and contribute to its growth in ex-
tent and usefulness.
1t may not be inappropriate to
give a slight Introduction to the
three ladies who have been added
to the corps and whose names APP
pear in the announcement elsewhere.
Miss HATTIE S. SEAGER, teacher
of mathematics ana natural solen
ces, was graduated from the cele-
brated female school at Syracuse,
N. Y. taking the degree of B. Phi,
and completing the prescribed four
years Latin Scientific Course. She
was afterwards trained In nOrmal
methods at a standard school, and
was Preceptress of Macedon Acade-
my, n. Y. Prof. Jones received
about one hundred applications for
the place, each accompanied With
certificates and highest FeeomIaen-
dations, and it is quite compli-
ment to Miss SEAGER to say that
she stood highest among the list
both as to her attainments and in
the satisfactorily endorsement given
her by numerous professional edu-
Gators at various points, some of
whom are famous and well known
in the educational world. Very
few ladies have gone through such
an extended curriculum with such
distinction, and although Quite a
young lady, she comes to her new
work with an ability and expert
ence that richly qualify her for the
high place she 10 called ia fill,
Miss CLARA BoDENHAMEK, teach
er of mathematics and English
branches, is one of our own south
ern young ladies of whom we are
all proud. She is a native of Giles
county ana was educated by Prof.
Geo. w. Campbell, whose endorse
ment of her worthiness and special
and varied attachments knew no
bounds except the limit of language.
She is considered by those who
have been associated with her
in the school room and socially as
one of the very brightest young la
dies in the south, especially gifted
in mathematics and thoroughly
trained and learned in all branches,
including the languages. She has
for a number Of SESSIONS taught she
Brick Church Academy and Prof.
Jones attention was called to her
by the oft repeated words of com
mendation and praise that were con-
tinually being uttered, and atiast by
a visit to her school. She has been
attending the Lebanon, Ohio, Nor
NAL during this summer, which will
doubtless introduce her into all the
advanced methods apd contribute
to the effectiveness OF her depart
ment in Martin College. There is a
wide spread commentator of Prof.
Jones action in giving the prefer
ence to one of our own meritorious
young ladies over 50 many highly
praised competitors and we shall
be greatly deceived if Miss BoDEN-
HAMER does not bring great strength
to the College.
Mrs. A. 7. KESSQN, teacher of
art and penmanship, is a graduate
of the college at Marion, Ala, and
was a pupil of the celebrated artist
Miss Speare, who has given to the
south a larger number of teachers
of actual merit than any Other
teacher in the country. Mis-. KEN
NON, we learn, is a credit to hel
eminent preoeptress and is herself
an artist of excellent merit. HeI
addition to the faculty will prove
a source of strength.
1t is hardly necessary to men
ton the other members of the facul
ty here, as their work speaks TO
them. Mrs. A. G. BLAIsDELL ha!
fulfilled the bright prediction:
made last year and has demonstra
ted her title to the strong endorse
ments that accompanied her advent
into our midst. Mrs. S. r. GRlF
FIFTH, Mrs. LULA ROSE and Mrs
NJ. Z. JONES have each been con
nected with the College for year:
and have exactly met every posi-
BILE requirement. and given eniinen
satisfaction to patrons and trustees
As a whole, the faculty is exact
ly suited to the work before them
and Martin College starts upon it:
tenth annual term thorough.
equipped for the greatest usefulness
and with an increasing patron
age and universal good wi
that are rapidly carrying it to tn
very forefront among southern &c
vocational institutions. 1t is ent
tied to our unlimited support and
already the glory and pride of P'
laski and Giles county, and rec
ognized far and near as one of tn
leading schools of the entire coul
try.
