Preliminary to the opening of the

there will be a faculty meeting at the

that all the teachers of both the Ath-

For some reason there is an i'm,

The opening of Columbia Military
Academy this morning at 8 o'clock
was a most satisfactory one, and the
number of pupils in from distance
was a surprise, large per cent Of
the boarders being in already. The
main building is full and arrange
ments for the accommodation OF the
late arrivals are being made,
The pupils have been coming In for
several days and as they arrived they
were classified, and the work Of clas.
sifcation this morning was compaar-
lively an easy task. In fact this usu-
ally troublesome feature was over b.
fore noon and the boys were ready
to get down to work, and the piacti.
cal work of recitations will begin
Friday.
Prof. Weber stated that the locsl
attendance was much better than for
the past few years, and he and the
other members Of the faculty appear
ed to be much pleased with the con-
ditions. They are in possession Or
information to the effect that other
students will continuae to arrive as
late possibly as Monday. After that
date 1t is expected that the usual
stir that obtains at the opening time
will have all passed away.
The attendance at the opening IL
the school has gone beyond The expeo.
tations Of the management. and on
this account another teacher was ab-
solutely necessary, and Prof. w. p
Morton, who has been principal az
the High School of several years,

rangement Prof. Weber said:
