CENTRAL'S PLANS
FOR NEXT YEAR
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT
REVIEW OF THE FACULTY FOR
NEXT YEAR-ALL HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED.

! greatly appreciate the words of
encouragement and friendship so gen.
erously given by so many of our cit
izers during the past year 1t has
been a year of uninterrupted work,
and yet it has been pleasant because
Of the consciousness of approval by
the people of the community who
really want Central College to sue

shall try myself not only to prove
worthy of confidence and support, but
will do my best to keep teachers who
will merit a full measure of your es-
TEEN.
cannot give in full what | would
like to say about our new teachers.
For the teachers of the preparatory
and college branches | refer you to
the catalog. They have all had large
and successful experience in some of
the best schools of the south. The
recitation periods will be changed to
one hour. For entrance to the Fresh
man year, we require twelve units and
sixty-five hours for graduation with
the A. B. degree These are stan
dard courses for young women in
nearly all of the leading colleges for
women in the south For the accom-
mediation of some friends who desire
to patronize the school, we will begin
with the seventh grade.
| desire to call especial attention to
the very superior work in the fine
arts department The teachers of ex-
preston and art were retained, as
also is Prof Utermoehlen as director.
Miss Patty F. Reville of Kentucky
will be our voice teacher. She is a
full graduate of Georgetown Conser-
vatory in both voice and piano and
has taken extensive post graduate
work in Cincinnati Conservatory and
Pittsburg Conservatory. She is said
to possess beautiful soprano voice,
rich in quality and pure in tone, with
resonance and splendid carrying
power. She has had experience in
one of Kentucky's best colleges.
! ] would be glad to see number of
. our town girls (who are carrying lit
erary courses in any of the schools of
Conway, and who feel that they can
not give full time to an extra branch)
join one of the small classes of voice
or expression. 1t will not require
much time nor money, and yet it will
be source of great improvement un-
der these splendid teachers.
We have decided to make a special
price in piano for first and second
year pupils of $4,000 for the year.
Voice culture, sight singing in class,
$1,000 for the year. Expression in
class $500 for the year. No matric-
plation fee will be charged for pupils
who simply take .one conservatory
branch These pupils will have the
special advantages of our bi-monthly
public recitals! lectures and inspira-
tional talks by the director, Mr.. Lieb-
ling, and others. Tuition in the 9th,
18th, Sth and 9th. grades, $4,000 for
the year. A reduction of 25 per cent
from all tuition fees above 500.

Miss Elizabeth Oosterhuis of Chi
cago is graduate of the American
