lions necessary to meet actual needs.
AS soon as circumstances justify it,
we shall add some improvements that
win make our school plant second to
none of its kind in the whole country
A few changes will be made in the
main building, which will be used
hereafter for administration purposes
only. Our boarding boys have DOR
mitory that meets every demand for
comfort and convenience. The board
ing girls will many of them be kept
in the superintendent home, where
they will not only be provided with
every physical comfort necessary to
their health and happiness but where
they win be under the constant care
and protection of the superintendent
wife. Other girls will continue to
board out in town as they have been
doing and they will find some of the
best homes in Huntingdon ready to
take care Of them.
Realizing that no school can
rise above its faculty we have spared
neither pains nor money in getting
together a faculty capable in every
respect. Not member is an expert
ment, but each teacher has been
chosen because of his particular fit
ness for the place he is to fill.
For our superintendent, Professor
Hendrickson, permit us to say he
came to Huntingdon and took charge
of the Industrial and Training School
about six months ago. He came
highly recommended by the State
Superintendent and other members
of the State Board of Education, to-
gether with many Of the best school
men in Tennessee, and his work since
coming to our town 1ustiies us in
saying that no better school man can
be found anywhere Professor Hen
erickson is graduate Of the George
Peabody College for Teachers and
has had a number of years experience
in some of the best schools Of the
state.
We have associated with him,
Professor A. S. Weston, who is a
graduate of Princeton University, and
who taught here for six years on a
former occasion. In his special line
he is possibly the strongest and best
teacher our school has ever had.
Miss Love Hawkins, who is grad
uate, Of the Southern Normal Uni
versity and who is now doing gradu-
ate work in Columbia University, is
a product of our own town. She is
too well known to our people to
need special Endorsement here. Suf-
fee it to say that though we are
paying her a splendid salary yet we
are able to have her only because of
this being her home town and the
sacrifice in salary she is willing to
make to be among her own people.
SThe same may be said of Profess
sor j. w. Williams, who is known
throughout this entire region because
of his unusual strength in school work
He was THE head Of Sardis Nor
NAL College Sardis, Tenn, for num-
Der Of years, and it was largely
through his efforts that that school
was erected. Later he came to Nc
Lemoresville Collegiate Institute,
and served this people for seven
years. We desire to say that the
commentator we have received be-
cause of his selection justifes us in
knowing that we have made no mis-
take Professor Williams will join
us as soon as the duties of his present
Office will permit He mas been Clerk
of the Carroll County Court for the
past eight years and the duties con-
nected with winding up the business
of his office may keep him from join
ing US for the first few months of the
new term
Professor D. G. Stout, graduate
of Vanderbilt University will teach |
agriculture. This course will be
started promptly but considerable !
preparation must be made in the way
Of laboratory equipment before full
justice can be done TO the scientific |
side of the work. In the meantime,
while getting this ready, Professor
Stout will handle the work later to be
taken up by Professor Williams.
The teachers for the Grammar
and intermediate grades will be
thoroughly qualified and experienced
in their work. Mrs. Hendrickson will
have charge of one of these depart
ments and the teacher of the other
has not yet been selected.
Our primary department has always
been of the best and in the selection
of Miss Rose B. Dickey, of Newbern,
