pupils to the Marietta public schools
have gone beyond the capacity of the
present school building. To meet this
increase the City Board of Education
have induced the City Council to re-
single, repair and fit up the old Mari
eta academy, which is now being done
Two or more grades will be taught in
this academy, which will be thoroughly
equipped and made comfortable. One
hundred and sixty new desks have been
brought from the Columbus, Ca,
School Desk Company, the only factory
of the kind in the South. This company
will give better oak desk for less
money than any Northern concern. as
they are not in the trust.
The Board OF Education have elected
two new teachers to meet this increased
demand: Miss Margaret Lee Brown, of
Nashville, graduate of the Peabody
Normal, who will have charge of the
First Grade D., and Miss Caroline Deas,
graduate of the Industrial Normal
School of Milledgeville, who will teach
Second Grade B.
