Pfin. Stevenson Gives Out
Faculty Personnel.
A Strong List OF Teachers for
Coming School Year.
Five OF the Old Teachers RsmaIa-
Three New Ones Added.

Announcement has just been made
by Principal Stevenson, of Coburn
Classical Institute, of the complete
personnel of the faculty for the coming
year.
Of last years staff Mr.. Lockhart.
Miss Peterson. Miss Davidson, Miss
Abbott, and Miss Flood will remain.
Miss Gilpatrick. remarkably success
tul as Dean of the Girls, has been
granted a years leave of absence for
rest and study in Europe, and will re-
sumo her duties as Dean of the Girls
in the fall of 1911. Miss True, who has
been one of the strongest and most
successful of the Coburn instructors,
has decided to give up teaching for a
few years and secure a much needed
rest and change. The new members of
the staff will be Ralph N. Good. Miss
Ella MacBurnie, and Miss Olive r.
Marshall.
Mr.. Good, a graduate of Colby in the
Class of 1910. will have charge of the
athletic and gymnastic activities of
the school. Too much could scarcely
be said in commendation of the selec-
ton of Mr.. Good. During his entire
college course he was regarded as one
of the strongest all-around athletes
that ever played upon Maine college
team, but, far better than this, he was
known for his remarkably fine traits
of character fitting him to be an ideal
instructor of boys. Under Mr.. Goods
leadership it is certain that COburn
athletics will be conducted not only
with high skill but, what is more i'm
portant, with sufficient restraint to
safeguard the interests of every stu
dent. Mr.. Good plans to give especial
attention to boys who are not strong
enough to play in organized games
and for that reason are in all the
greater need of well directed physical
exercise.
Miss Ella MacBurnie. Colby 1909, has
been elected teacher of English and
History. and Associate Dean of the
Girls. During Miss Gilpatricks leave
of absence Miss MacBurnie will be in
charge of Coburn Cottage. Among the
many persons considered for this place,
no one possesses the essential quail
ties in so marked a degree as Miss
MacBurnie. She won marked success
aS teacher in the Peabody High
school last year and was reelected at
largely increased salary. Her per-
sonal characteristics of firmness, ener-
gy. and sympathy with young people
make her an ideal selection for this
important place.
Miss Olive r. Marshall will have
classes in Latin and History. She is
a graduate of Boston University, Class
of 1910. During her college course she
did substitute work in the Everett
High school. At Boston University she
was one of the leaders of her class in
scholarship. in social life, and in the
Y. w. c.. A. activities. She is a men,
Der of the Phi Beta Kappa. During
both her Junior and Senior years she
held the position of proctor by ap-
pointment of the faculty. who thus
gave conclusive evidence of their con-
fidence in her as young woman of
high character and sound Judgment.
Mr.. Lockhart. who during the past
two years has built up the Science
Department of the school until the
work accomplished in the science
courses is as strong as that in any
preparatory school in New England.
has PLANS for further increasing the
value of these courses during the year
Miss Peterson is in Europe for the
summer. studying French and German
and will return in time for the opening
of school, September 14th.
