The following from the Carolina
Mountaineer of Waynesville is also OF
interest:
"'In the. past two weeks we have
supplied two neighboring towns with
graded school superintendent. Prof.
Chas. F.. Owen, who has been principal
teacher in the Waynesville schools
was elected superintendent of the Can
ton schools with third more salary
than he was receiving and we congrat-
ulate not only him but the people OF
Canton, for he is a good teacher, a
splendid type of9manhood and son of |
Haywood who has made good.
"Since then Prof. Briggs of this city, |
who was last year in charge of the |
school at Leicester Buncombe county,
has been chosen superintendent of the |
city schools of Hendersonyille. Prof |
Briggs is in his natural element when |
teaching, having spent most of his |
life in that profession, most of it in |
Missouri.
More than % years ago he was one |
OF our teachers in this same town OF !
Hendersonville and it is pleasing to |
him that he rs called back by his old |
friends who knew him then, when he
and Mrs. Briggs were both teaching at
ol6 Judson college, which has ceased |
to live since then, but which will con- |
tinue to live in the memory and hearts
of some of us, who we're attached to 1t |
in the days gone by.
eve congratulate our friend that |
he can go back and. HendersonY1lle |
that she has called him back. May |
neither have any cause for regrets.
