ing class was delivered by the Rev.
R. E. Stackhouse, D. D., presiding
elder of the Spartanburg District.
DR.. Stackhouse spoke on Service
his text being words of the Savior,
"If any man will come after Me, let
him take up his cross and follow
Me-" The sermon was strong one
and made deep impression on the
large congregation present.
Sunday night, at $3.50 o'clock, IN
the same church, the annual sermon
to the Young Peoples Christian AS
.sociation, was preached by the Rev.
H. Grady Hardin, of Denmark. The
message which was brought to the
young people of the association on
this occasion will long linger in their
minds, for it was declared to be one
of the most impressive sermons that
has been delivered there on similar
occasion.
A Successful Year.
The year just closed has, in many
respects, been one of the most sue
cessful the Carlisle School has ever
had. The year saw the largest num-
ber of pupils in the boarding depart
ment of any year in the schools his
tory. Ninety-three young ladies and
gentlemen were enrolled this year,
and of this large number, 70-odd
were in the boarding department,
the others being "day" pupils, who
have their homes in the town.
The secret of the success with
which the institution has met is not
hard to locate when one is once
acquainted with those in whose
hands the administration of the af-
fairs of the school has been entrust-
ed. A more capable and conscientious
young man than the headmaster OF
the school, J. Caldwell Guilds, is not
to be found in educational circles
of this or any other State. He is
an alumnus of Wofford College and
Vanderbilt University, where he took
the A. B. and M. A. degrees. In ad-
dition to his duties as headmaster of
the institution, he has charge of the
English and Bible departments. In
administering the affairs of the
school he has been ably assisted by
the following staff: William c. Dun
can, A. B., Wofford College, depart
ment of mathematics and German;
Swaine A. Merchant, A. B., Wofford
College, departments of history and
sceince; George H. Edwards, A. B.,
NJ. A., University of South Carolina,
Latin; Miss Annie Lou Byrd, Con-
verse College, Washington College of .
Music piano and violin; Miss Beulah
HERS, primary department.; Ralph
Shieder, librarian; Mrs. Josephine
Beach, matron of boys, dormitories;
Mrs. Stella Bronson, matron Of girls
dormitories.
Late Improvements.
The year just closed was particu-
larly significant in that it saw the
completion and occupation of Guilds
Hall, the magnificent boys dormi-
tory, which was built by the citizens
of Bamberg at a cost of some $751;
900, and presented to the school.
This splendid structure is of brick,
three stories in height, and has &C
commodations for 70 boys, besides
quarters for the matron and mem
bers of the faculty. It is one of the
most up-to-date dormitories to be
found at any school or college in the
State.
Athletics.
In the sphere of athletics, the Car
Isle School starred among schools OF
the State. The baseball team of the
school last year won the State cham
pionship, and are contenders with
the High School of Charleston for
this honor this year. Games were
played during the season with the
High School of Charleston, Porter
