BRYAN'S CITY SCHOOLS.

The city of Bryan is noted as one
of the most important educational cen
tiers in Texas. Its public schools are
models OF modern excellence in prac-
teal educational institutions.
The high rating and enviable repu-
tation of the city's public schols has
been generally recognized since the
assumption of their superintendency
by Prof. w. C. Lawson and the adop-
ton of his efficient measures and pol
icies for their improvement in all
branches of usefulness, and having for
their commendable purpose the at
tainment of the best practical and en-
during results procurable in capable
and efficient educational work. The
basic principles productive of the ex-
traordinary success of these schols is
recognized in unfaltering adherence to
the policy of instilling into their pu-
pills a genuine interest in education
itself as distinguished from interest
fostered and encouraged by individual
exertions, stimulated by ambition to
win personal reward in competitive
contests in various branches of stud
les; the cultivation of genuine inter
est in education and an unselfish
pleasure in the achievements of fell
low students; the promotion of high
standard work and adequate promo
lions for excellency and efficiency in
studies, and the acquisition of an edu-
cation, practical, enduring and effi-
cient, for all needs in after life.
Prof. w. c. Lawson, to whom is
largely due the status of these schools
as the best of their kind in the state
of Texas or elsewhere, is one of the
most capable executive heads of i'm
portant educational institutions. He
is a native of Tennessee, whose edu-
cation was acquired at the Ohio State
University. where he received the de-
gree of B. S., at the date of his grad
uation. He served as superintendent
of the city schools of Pulaski, Tenn,
with marked success and distinction
for eight years prior to locating in
Bryan. He has at all times been
active and untiring in his devotion to
educational work and in constantly in
creasing his efficiency for the impor-
tant work devolving upon him as the
executive head of the city's splendid
schools. Every summer he takes

BRYAN BAPTIST ACADEMY.

The city OF Bryan is one of the nota-
BILE educational centers of Texas. High
in the list OF institutions which have
contributed to its prestige in that re-
spect is the Bryan Baptist Academy,
which was established here in the
spring of 1905 by a few friends of de-
nominational education who recog-
nized a splendid field and urgent ne
cessity for high-class girls school in
this section of Texas. In September
of the same year it was chartered un.
der the name of the Texas Woman's
College, opening its doors for the re-
ception of students. During the first
year the school occupied temporary
quarters while awaiting the compile
ton of the splendid modern brick
structure on beautiful grounds in the
southeastern part of the city, which
1t has since occupied.
During the first two years OF its sue
cessful activities DR.. George Butler,
an able and distinguished divine, pas
tor OF the First Baptist Church OF this
city, was its president. His capable
and efficient service as the executive
head of the school resulted in the i'm
provement and rapid advancement OF
the institution to an enviable position
among the educational enterprises of
Texas. In this position he was sue
ceeded by Dr. o. c. Charlton, whose
faithful and valuable services. supple
mented by those of his, wife, continued
the excellent work OF improving the
school and the physical, moral, and
mental development of its numerous
students. After two years of most ca
pable administration of the schools
affairs, they resigned, leaving behind
them the enduring benefits conferred
upon It by their intelligent efforts and
carrying with them the sincere graft
tude and kindest wishes Of the man.
agement, their hosts Of friends, and
patrons of the institutions. In August,
1909, Prof r. Mcdonald, distin-
guished scholar and instructor, was
elected president of the school, and it
was at the time Of his assumption OF

the important duties of the position
that the name of the college was
changed from that of the Texas
Woman's College to the Bryan Baptist
Academy. The administration of the
affairs OF the school during the in
cumbency of Prof. Mcdonald has been
characterized by phenomenal advance
ment and improvement in every de-
partment OF its curriculum. In the
splendid work of advancing the pres
tige and usefulness OF this excellent
school Prof Mcdonald has been most
ably assisted by Mrs. Mcdonald,
woman of scholarly attachments, tact,
and excellent judgment, as well as by
a corps OF the ablest and most thor
oughly equipped instructors engaged
in educational work in the State of
Texas. For the first four years of its
existence the college was an independ.
ent school, but in January, 1910, the
Texas Baptist Educational Board
agreed that it should be admitted into
the correlation. Among conditions i'm
posed for such admission was one pro-
viding that boys and girls should be
received as students, necessitating the
erection of dormitory for the former,

1904 with bachelor OF arts degree. He
spent several years teaching in public
schools and was engaged in the lum-
Der business at Normangee. In 1909 he
was elected president of Bryan Bap-
fist Academy. Since September of that
year he has served in this capacity
and has proven himself one of the
ablest of presidents. He has raised the
Bryan Baptist Academy from a weak
and struggling school to a strong and
enduring institution. Prof. Mcdonald
is personal friend to every student
of the academy; he impresses upon
each one an indellible stamp of hon.
esty, high morality, and Christian sin
cerity. The name of the Bryan Baptist
Academy is already a valuable recon-
mendation to her graduates, for it is
the semblance of thoroughness, and
under the supervision of President
Mcdonald there is a great future for

Prof. c. E. Bullock, teacher in

HIGH SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES m m% n1u q

Keeling, is brilliant, broad-minded and
thorough in every educational line, as
well as being lovely young woman
in social life.
Miss Elizabeth McIver, teacher in
history, was born at Center Point,
Kerr County, Texas. She attended
rural schools of Kerr County, Kerr.
Vile High School, and Baylor Female
College, where she graduated. IN 1911,
after several years of teaching in the
Ell Campo High School, Miss McIver
resigned and came to Bryan Baptist
Academy to teach history. She has
made the history course an unusually
pleasant and profitable one to all the
students. No school in the State can
boast of a better history department
than the Bryan Baptist Academy, with
Miss McIver at its head.
Miss Bess Crouch, teacher in Eng
lish, was born and reared in McKin-
ney, Texas. After finishing in the
high school of Mckinney she went to
Baylor College. Here she specialized
in music and English, and graduated
in 1906. She taught music in North
Texas Baptist Academy for several
years. She began her work at the
Bryan Baptist Academy in January,
1912. Miss Crouch's presence is like
that Of the sweetest fairy; her look,
her smile or her word is the magic
wand in the academy. -'-'''
Mr.. Herbert w. Reed, director in
piano and voice, was born in Iowa and,
like st. Paul and all sensible mar
riageable people, he has put away
childish things; he is too dignified to
celebrate birthdays, indeed he no
longer has one, but, reckoning by the
Julian calendar, it was several years
ago when he encountered his six
teenth one. He received high school
education and afterwards graduated at
Cornell University. He studied music
under several noted teachers; among
these Elese Sternsdorff, now con.
cert pianist and teacher OF Berlin
Later he went to Chicago school and
studied with Crosby Adams. He stud
led voice at the Chicago Musical Col
lege with Mr.. Hens Schroeder, the
eminent German baritone. He also
studied with DR.. Clement B. Shaw
singer and author, and Mr.. D. A. Clip
penger, director of the Chicago Mad
rigal Club and editor of the Western
Msuical Herald. During several years
residence in San Antonio Prof Reed
was a member of the San Antonio
Musical Club and an honorary men,
Der of the Tuesday Musical Club In
September, 1911, he began his work
as music teacher in Bryan Baptist

music teachers in our country and the
results of his teaching in Bryan are
entirely satisfactory.

ALLEN ACADEMY.
J. II. Allen and r. o. Allen, Principals.

Allen Academy lis one of the lead
ing and most successful schools for
boys in the State. 1t was established
in 1899, beginning in modest way
with the two principals as teachers of
the school, which then occupied a
small one-story frame building. Such
has been the progress and growth of
the school that seven modern com.
modious buildings, including the resi-
dences of the principals, are now nee.
essary to house the school and carry
on its work.
There has just been completed a
splendid three-story fireproof dormi-
tory, perfect in every detail of COM
fort and sanitation. This building is
constructed of reinforced concrete and
brick from foundation to roof, and
hence all possibility of accident from
fire is removed.
The school campus embraces thirty
six acres, giving the boys ample space
for their games and athletic sports.
The academy maintains a strong
corps OF instructors, the policy OF the
school being to employ only university
graduates as teachers. The faculty at
present is composed of the two pr!nci-
pals, j. II. and X. o. Allen, o. r.
Post, NJ. A.; j. ]. Rogers, A. B.. B. w.
Bittle, NJ. A; o. @. Melton, A. B.;
Miss Sara Allen, n. B. Allen, and
g. NJ. Board.
The school is affiliated with the
leading universities OF the South, and
about ninety per cent of its graduates
enter higher institutions upon leaving
the academy.
The success OF this school is due to
the careful efficient instruction given,
to the intelligent supervision OF its
students, and to the maintenance of
discipline based upon an appeal to
reason, ambition, pride, and sense
OF justice and morality.
The principals of the academy are
instructors of much experience in ed
ucational work, and are noted for their
success in developing the mental,
moral, and spiritual characters OF the
boys committed to their charge.
The school has a large and well
established patronage drawn not only
from every section of Texas but from
several other States as well.
With its splendid new fireproof
building, with the addition of two new
courses to the curriculum for another
year, manual training and shorthand,
the prospects of Allen Academy are
indeed bright for a yet larger growth
and usefulness.

which now may be seen in an elegant
modern two-story structure which
ornaments the northwest side of the
campus. AS is the history of all new
enterprises of its kind, the Bryan Bap-
fist Academy has experienced many
and varying vicissitudes in its toll
some progress from its embryotic
state to the browning reward of its
present maturity and unequalled excel
lence as a premier educational insti-
tuition, a success made possible only
by the untiring devotion and intelli.
gent labors of its trustees, loyal
friends and patrons.
The faculty of the Bryan Baptist
Academy is an interesting one. In
number there are seven-that signif-
cant figure seven which Fate always
puts into her masterpieces as an index
to its completeness. The best and the
brightest have been scrutinized in the
selection of these chosen few.
The president of Bryan Baptist
Academy, Prof Richard Mcdonald,
was born in Brazos County, Septem-
Der 2S, 1872. He grew up in this coun-
ty and after attending the rural school
at Rogers Prairie, went to Baylor
University, where he graduated in

the intervening years in BraZos Coun-
ty. In his boyhood he attended the
Bryan High School. Later he took a
special course A. and NJ. College and
graduated at a business school He
has given eleven years to teaching in
public schools, and since September,
1910, has rendered most proficient
service, and is manager of the boys
hall. To the Bryan people Prof Bull
lock is well known and respected as
a worthy business man, church worker
and citizen.
Miss Alice W. Keeling, teacher in
Latin, is a near relation to all of US
by reason OF the fact that she is ma.
tive of Leon County and saw the be-
ginning of her extraordinarily success
ful career about fifty miles from
Bryan. Her home has been at STAN.
ford for several years. In 1908 Miss
Keeling graduated with A. B. degree
at Baylor Female College. In 1910 she
resigned her position in North Texas
Baptist Academy, where she had been
teaching mathematics for two years,
to accept the position offered her in
the Bryan Baptist Academy. She took
a specil Latin course in Chicago Uni
versity in the summer of 1912. Miss

and three piano numbers, by NJ. Tournon,

Nine. Cavalieri's performance rather
proclaimed her an actress of talent than a
really great singer. although she sings de-
lightfully, while Nj. Muratore's voice
seemed rather TO possess the quality of
baritone than tenor, aided by rather
sweet and effective falsetto accomplish
ment. All the numbers were intently lis
