The roster of teachers for the
Richmond City Schools is now COM
'plete. At meeting of the Board of
Education this week Miss Nellie Will
son Hill of Stanford, Lincoln county,
was elected as teacher of Vocal Music
for the coming year She will take
the place of Miss Lissa Holtzclaw,
who resigned. Miss Hill has had
thorough training for her work. She
is a graduate of the Cincinnati Col
lege of Music, having specialized on
public school music. She comes very
highly recommended by the people of
Stanford and she made splendid
impression on those who met her
here.
The Board of Education is pleased
to announce the return of Miss Alice
Metcalf, of Pineville, to the Depart
ment of Instrumental Music. Miss
Metcalf is already well known i'm
Richmond by the splendid work she
did here last year, and all music
lovers will be glad to hear of her re-
turn. She has proved herself an
artist of high rank and the city
schools feel proud of her name on
their faculty. Miss Metcalf will have
her studio in the new central high
school building, formerly the Madison
Institute. Splendid quarters are be-
ing prepared for her there and the
Board of Education has made ar
rangements for her to devote all of
her time to the school, No more at
tractive place in the city could be Sc
cured for music studio than the east
parlor of the new high school and the
Eoard feels assured that all of Miss
Metcalf's students will be more than
glad to go to her studio on the hill
even though they are not attending
the city schools.
A vacancy in the high school facul-
ty has recently been filled by the
election of Mr. r. S. Tandv, q native
Of SCarrollton, KY, who taught last
year in Midland College at Midland,
Texas. Mr. Tandy is graduate of
Georgetown College with the A. B. de-
gree and also graduate of Transyl-
vania with A. M. degree. He will
teach mathematics and SCIENCE in the
new high school. He is recommended
astbeing strong in athletics and will
coach the athletic team of the high
school with the assistance of the new
principal, D. H. Stearns, who is also
good in athletics.
Contracts have been let for the
plumbing repairs, the repairs in wood
work and the painting on the new
high school building. Work will soon
be well under way on getting the
building into shape for the opening
of school on September End. Four
recitation rooms are being prepared
to accommodate the four high school
teachers. The assembly room will be
made into two recitation rooms by
the means of folding doors. A coat
of paint will be given the parlors, the
offices and the recitation rooms. A
shower bath is being planned for the
use of the athletic teams.
One of the finest features of the
plan for remodeling is to make a
gymnasium of the old kindergarten
building. By the addition of some 80
feet to the length of this building it
will be large enough for the regula-
tion basket ball floor. Here the
high school basket ball team will not
only do it's practice work but also
stage it's match games with other
schools. The southeast corner of the
grounds will make a splendid place
either for a football gridiron \or a
baseball diamond
Athletics will be made one IF the
strong features of the schoo' work.
The recent physical examinations of
the young men of the nation to enter
the army are convincing evidence of
the urgent need of systematic
athletic and physical culture in every
school in the land. The high school
course of study is well under way and
will soon go to the printer. Every
thing bids fair to be in readiness when
the gong sounds in the Corn Moon.
