Miss Caroline B. Stevens, the new
principal. is a graduate from the Nor
NAL School in Bay City, Michigan. I
was told, some years back. that the
grade of scholarship for teachers was
higher in Michigan than in any state
in the Union Since then the grade
in other states may have grown high
er, but it has been demonstrated that
the grade in Michigan has kept pace
with the years, and Miss Stevens has
already won golden opinions from pu-
pills, and their parents in Wenonah.
She is prepared also to take up new
movements, and advanced methods in
her work as rapidly as these become
! feasible
to enhance its beauty.
Speaking of beauty, the we'll kept
grounds about the Military Academy
deserve special mention. The re-
freshing greenness of the smoothly
shayen lawn; the rich riot of color
massed in the autumn flowers, the
beautiful trees, and luxuriant vines
unite in an ensemble which mere
words will not describe. These at
fractions, and a reputation for we'll
regulated student courses, and rapid
advancement, combined with military
tactics, and athletic sports are far
Preaching. and new pupils have come
in from louisiana, Texas and other
distant states. The academy already
has more than its usual. quota of stu
dents for the coming year. This is
due to the successful management,
and directorhip of Major John R
Jones.
