PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Mr.. G. E. Washington, the efficient
teacher of mathematics in this school,
acted as principal of the Hadley
School Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. Mr.. e. w. Benton, the
principal of Hadley, was called out of
the city on account of the death
of his cousin, and Mr.. Washington
was transferred temporarily to fill the
vacancy. Mr. Sylvester White, of
the Senior College Glass of Fisk Uni
versity, taught the mathematics in
the High School the two days Mr..
Washington was away.
The repairing ordered to be done
by the City Superintendent and Build
ing Inspector Hodge, in order to make
this building safer in case of fire has
has been completed Both the front
and rear doors now open outward.
The large fancy post which stood at
the bottom of the staircase has been
removed and a small circular plat
form with a smaller post put in its
stead. This improvement makes it
easier for children to turn when
reaching the last step of the stairs
and the danger of congestion at this
point is avoided
The contest for the best attend
ance between the S-A and S-B grades
under the leadership Of Misses Bry
ant and Pinkard resulted in a tie last
week Each teacher had only three
absences for the entire week. The
percentage of attendance, however,
would be little better for Miss Pink
ards class, as she has &C pupils,
while Miss Bryant has So. If you
take the average per cent of attend
ance, however, for the entire number
of weeks since this contest started,
Miss Bryant's pupils show a better
record.
A larger number of visitors called
at this school this week than at any
time this school year. Prof. S. H.
Hardy, principal of school near
Columbia, Tenn, was among the
number Prof, Hardy has been in the
school business a long time and
knows a good school when he sees
it, He visited all the class-rooms
and the Manual Training Department
and expressed himself as being amply
repaid for his visit by the good work
that he saw He was unstinted in his
praise and said that Pearl was one
of the best managed schools in the
country and the work was just as
thorough
