Mr.. WAIT RET|REs.
Withdraws to Boys High
School, New York. Mr..
Teeter His Successor
at Hasbrouck.

Although for the past few weeks the
| fact Of the intended withdrawal OF VICE
| Principal Horace G. Wait from HasproucR
| Institute has been an open secret, there
was considerable surprise among the pu-
pills of that institute when Principal Stinl-
cts yesterday ~publically announced ths
fact. at the same time introducing to the
school Mr.. Charles II. Teeter, Mr.. WAITS
| successor as far as the teaching IS con-
cerned.
1t is now about twenty-five years Since
Mr.. Wait first entered upon his career OF
usefulness at Hasbrouck Institute he Is
a graduate of Yale Of the class of %, and
aside from one years teaching experience
at L-ayrenceville School, Hasbrouck has
been his only field, so that his withdrawal
TO the Boys High School of New York,
where he will instruct in the same
branches as at Hasbrouck, Will be the
third position Mr.. Wait has held IN TWEEN
ty-three years.
Mr.. Teeter is also a Yale man, a I'M
Beta Kappa, and comes highly reeoM-
mended. He was introduced 70 MI.
Stimets and heartily endorsed by Mr. j.
j. Voorhees, of his city, and ranks among
the best thirty CT a class OF three nun
bred in scholarship, besides which ne mss
had valuable experience in teaching IN the
Normal School of Stroudsburg, Pa, n in
one of the large parish schools OF Ne"
York City.
For the past month or more Mr.. Stimets
has been spending all His spare lime III
considering applicants for both the Vacah-
cies left by Mr.. w. Patterson Atkinson
a short time ago.. and that about to pc
left by Mr.. Wait. Hasbrouck's principal
has both seen and interviewed a large
number of men from all parts OF the
country, and feels that no mistake has
been made in securing tine services of Dr.
Cushman to fill Mr.. Atkinson's position,
and Mr.. Teeter, to instruct the classes
taught by Mr.. Wait. The former, DR..
Cushman, has already won the confidence
of, and is well liked, by the boys. Mr..
Teeter started out on his new field of
usefulness his morning with every prom
Use of the same success, so that while
Mr.. Wait will doubtless be greatly miss
ed, the teaching facilities of the institute
will be in nowise impaired.
Mr.. Wait still retains his position as
partner at Hasbrouck, merely withdraw
ing from active work. For the past
three weeks he has been teaching in
both Jersey City and New York, at Has
brouck Institute in the morning and at
the Boys High School of New York in
the afternoon, but henceforth will devote
It's services entirely in New York.
Socially Mr.. Wait will be a double loss
to Jersey City, as his new field will
ultimately require his taking up his resi-
dence in New York, and this will involve
the absence of Mrs. Wait, who has in a
way been almost as great a factor in
education as Mr.. Wait, for the past few
years. This refers mainly to Mrs. Waits
historical and literary classes, besides
which both Mr.. and Mrs. Wait will be
greatly missed from the various social
functions to which they belong.
Hasbrouck Institute has always had a
record for the length of time she keeps
her teachers, many of whom have been
with the school from the start Aside
from Mr.. Wait and Mr.. Stimets, Mr..
Foy has taught in Hasbrouck's about
eighteen years, Miss Meyers nineteen
years and Mr.. Victor Baier, eighteen.
The other teachers average anywhere
from ten to six years.
