BOYS TO
HAVE NEW QUARTERS
Wentworth has Leased Lexing-
ton College to House This
Department.

Early in August it was evident
that the quarters hitherto pro-
yided for the small boys of
Wentworth would be made
quate. Sixth and Seventh floors,
moreover, were needed for the
increased attendance of the reg
ular Academy students. So the
management set forth to find
more commodious quarters.
Fortunately for the Academy
there was available a building
which could not be bettered for
the purpose. The old Lexington
College, which suspended opera
tlons in 1916, was vacant and
the board which had charge of
it was ready to devote it to a
good cause. So the Academy Sc
cured the use of it and started
into the necessary work of clean
ing.
The grammar school boys will
room in the building, recite
there and eat there. They will
go to the main Academy for drill
and athletics.
Captain and Mrs. Day will live
with the small boys and have
general supervision of the work.
Captain Rougemont will be prin-
clpal of the department and he
with Captain Caldwell will do
the teaching. Miss Lutte Cham
bers, who for years had charge
OF the primary department of
Lexington college, will take care
Of the boys who need special in
struction.
Miss Kitty Fulkerson, who
has been the friend of every
small boy of Wentworth for the
past ten years, will be the ofici-
clal chaperon. She and her moth
er will live in the building.
The Wentworth School for
small Boys is the only thing of
is kind in this part of the
country and its remarkable
growth indicates that it is con-
lucted along the proper lines.
