Miss Bessie Peatross. of Virginia; Miss
Minnis Kirkpatrick, Mrs. VIM. Carey and
Miss Aasargi1 Holland, Of Seneca. A good
number Of the patrons of the school were
present, also the board of trustees. G..
w. Gignilliat and j. l.. MoWhorter made
short, stirring talks, and the principal,
Miss Barrett, in a few words spoken rela-
tive to the work, made fine impression.
The trustees feel greatly encouraged over
the fact that they have secured as prinoi-
cipal of the school, Miss Barrett, who
comes to us with the full endorsement of
our State Board as being not only fine
educator, but a number one discipline

fact that she masters the situation easily.
Now, that our school is in full harness
again, let our patrons stand squarely up
to the trustees and teachers, thereby
giving their hearty cooperation in every
thug that concerns the best interests of
the school.
