1.-THE young ladies here in the schoo
will be given to them later.
In reference TO the day pupils
J wish to say that until after schoo
hours they are under the discipline
and control of the authorities here
and will be required not to leave thu
5 premises. 1t has been the custom, a:
] understand, that the day pupils have
been allowed to go down the stree
at recess, but this, for various reasons
] can not give my consent to. In ref
erence to their lunch. If a parent de
sires her daughter to go home in or.
der that she may have a warm lunch
must have written request to that
effect, otherwise, they must bring
their lunch with them.
In reference to the faculty l wish to
say that 1 feel that l have secured as
able and accomplished a staff of teach
ers as can be found in any school in
the South, and that means just a lit
tie bit better than any school in the
world, for each teacher has been en-
ployed, not merely because of her abil-
ity and her experience, but because
of her culture and her refinement.
The majority of this audience are ac-
quainted with most of the teachers
Ihere-Miss Wallace, Miss Baird, Mrs.
Smith, Madam Damarco, Mrs. Hines.
Iall have long since established their
regulations in this community. and are
well known to you, as is also Mrs.
Clark, our Matron. The new teach
ers are Miss Ellen Logan, daughter of
Rev. DR.. Logan of Nashville, and
though young woman, she is a B. A.
graduate of the Vanderbilt University,
and comes to us with the highest rec
concentrations from the Academic |
faculty of that Institution: Miss Pattie |
DeGraffenreid who will have charge !
of the elocution and physical culture
department. belongs to one of the most |
prominent families in neighboring
county, Williamson county, and has
enjoyed the advantages of the most
famous school of expression in this
country-Curry School of expression
at Boston; Miss Mary E. Taylor, a
daughter of Judge Lytton TAYLOR of
Nashville will be our Art Teacher,
