" ASoiiiiS ttiCIC OS-
ing avacancy in the corps ofteachers
the faculty knowing the merits and
qualifications OF Prof. Allison. as a
teacher and d,scipllnarian, sought
and prevailed upon HIM to accept
the place OF assistant Principal.
On entering the school he was as.
signed to the position of Professor of
mathematics, position which he
has ever SINCE held, and one that he
is peculiarly fitted for, being born
mathematician. Prof. Allison has
had upwards of thirty years of con-
tinuous experience in the school
room, and we doubt it there is a man
in this section of the State better
qualified tor the position ne holds.
The Board of Trustees made wise
selection in securing his services and
from his long retention in this ,nstl-
ton by the Board, from 1873 to 1886,
and the gradual growth and yearly
increase OF scholars is proof enough
to the public and patrons of TIE
school, that they made wise selec-
ton.
MISS LUELLA c. SCOTT,
who has been elected to take charge
of the primary department, vice Miss
Abel resigned, is graduate OF
Hedden College, H., IN the degree
OF Bachelor OF Science. She has
tour years experience as teacher
and until recently was member oi
the faculty of the Western Conser-
vatory OF music at Rolls. Mo. She
comes with the very best of recon-.
mendations, and will no doubt sus.
tain her part of the work with honor
to herself and credit to the school.
The present prosperity of the
Academy is in measure due to the
great interest taken by the Board o.
Trustees, who have labored Jealous
ly IN its interest at all times for which
they deserve great credit. The
