TO high achievement Alma College hal
awarded free scholarship to the student
of the class of 1908 of the High Schoo
of Alma, who graduated with the
highest honors of his class. Another
scholarship was awarded to the student
having an average standing OF 30 pei
cent in the studies of the last year OF
school. This will make the instruction
in the regular courses free to the student
for one year. Nor does the benefit end
with the first year II the student
maintains an average standing of 30 per
cent while at college he may have the
free scholarship from year to year till
he finishes the course.
Many times it has been announced
from the college platform that the one
deficiency which was greater than an
other at Alma was that there was no
special teacher for the bodily training
of the girls. Much was done for the
boys-almost nothing for the girls.
Towards the close of last year the de-
lightful news came that distinguished
gentleman, of Saginaw, had provided
the money with which to secure such
teacher. Then it was only question
of finding the right person. For several
months correspondence has been going
forward which has finally terminated
In the selection of Miss Winifred Sails
bury, of Oregon, for the responsible
position.
Miss Salisbury is graduate OF the
University of Wisconsin and success
full teacher of physical culture of two
years experience Her work has been in
the high school and of such excellent
quality that it gives promise of the
most thorough qualification for the still
larger responsibilities to which she is
now called. In addition to her athletic
instruction she will assist in the depart
ment of modern languages. her speciality
being German. OF her success in this
Prof. f. w. Clark, of Ripon College,
says, when on tour of inspection
last spring had the pleasure Of visiting
Miss Winifred Sailsbury's classes in the
New Libson high school. l found her
doing excellent work and as l talked
with her afterwards was glad to note
the interest that she displayed in the
work and in her students. She is ami |
mated, earnest and one who l expect to
do better work as she goes on in her
profession.
AS to her school life Prof. Franklin |
Guild writes: For some years past
have been acquainted with the work Of
Miss Winifred Salisbury, first as a
student in the high school here, and |
since at the State University, and wish
20 say that she is faithful, painstaking
student, young woman who enters
into whatever she at
tsmpts." Her pastor bears witness as
follows: "She has spent her life in this
community and is lady of strong
Christian character, an earnest and
faithful worker in the church and
teacher in the Sabbath school. Her
moral and Christian influence will be
strong in any community where she
may find employment.
This has prepared the way for a
second announcement which will be
most delightful to faculty, students and
friends Of Alma college, viz, the re-
turn of Miss Inglis. There was never q
better influence in the college than Miss
Katharine Inglis. Twice she has been
obliged to leave us on account of failing
health, the result of overwork. The
second time we parted from her was
nearly two years ago. During her alb.
sence she has devoted herself assidu.
ously to the recovery Of her vigor. Still
we would not care to put the burdens
upon her which she used to bear. By
securing Miss Salisbury the German
work will no longer, Except by way
Of supervision be upon Miss Inglis.
She will devote herself to French and to
assisting the Dean in the conduct OF
Wright Hall.
BE it known therefore far and near
that Miss Iuglis is to be back with us
during the coming year. May it not be
for one year, but for many years
That quiet influence for all that is noble
in character and womanly in bearing
and cultured in conduct, that influence
is to be with us again.
