As it is matter of community IL

ments in your columns concerning the

Our constituency is well aware of
the heavy handicaps under which we
labored the past year, as result of
the unprecedented winter, changes in
Faculty, high cost of living, etc.
In the face of all these difficulties
the work has gone forward, and as
Chairman of the Board, wish to ex-
press our commentator of Prof.
Crume and his faithful assistants for
the heroic manner in which they have
performed their labors and for the sue
cess achieved.
Arrangements have proceeded to
that degree that we are ready to an
nounce that Unexpectedly fortunate
provisions will be made for next year.
We have secured Rev r. Y. Bennett
as Principal. Mr.. Bennett is gradu-
ate of Vanderbilt University, and a
young man of unusual scholarship.
He has had ample experience as a
teacher. Besides having taught for
several years in Public Schools, for the
past year he has been a member of the
Eaoultv af tho T ,Ol1iSvillo Military
Tanning School for Boys. Mr.. Ben
nett will add much to the intellectual
life of the community. The Faculty
will be selected with the utmost care,
and we bespeak for the school the
hearty co operation of our patrons and
friends.
Yours respectfully,
A. R. KAsEY.

The Four Year Limit.

The General Conference of the
Methodist Chucrh, South, is now in
session at Atlanta, Ga. The daily pa
pers stated last Wednesday that the
four year limit was being discussed
and that it was believed that it would
be knocked out. In that event a
preacher could remain at one place as
long as himself and congregation
agreed. Ministers who are assigned
to prosperous Churches will unques-
tionably favor the proposition, but it
would not suit those who are in the
field, doing harder work.
