Prof r. d. Williamson, the prof.
Client principal of Haygood Seminary
is sparlng no pains in trying to revive
and bring to the front again the
school that several years ago was
considered the best school for colored
boys and girls in Arkansas. Since the
burning Of the main building and
girls doImitory five years ago this
nschool has been placed at very
ave disavantage on account of in
Ihcient means with which TO re-
hid and pay the teachers, too. Dur
ing this time girls and boys by the
scores have been steadily leaving this
section and going to school and col
leges of other states, many of them
leaving reluctantly, preferring attend
1ng at their own home school. Now
the time is at hand that these girls
and boys, especially those not yet
ready FOR college course, can cease
going elsewhere. The main building
is soon to be erected. Work in the
various departments is already going
on IN one OF the old buildings The
students have not got to come, but
they are already there and we earn
lestly hope that IL will not be long be-
quarters. Prof Williamson is not on
ly teaching the text books, but by
his daily instructions to the pupils on
morals and manners and habits of ev-
cry day life, is destined to do much
good and render valuable assistance
to parents in rearing their children.
Let no one stand back and wait TO
sec what is going to be done, but rush
your children to school regardless of
the raise of tuition and let them re-
eeive training in this school that puts
much emphasis upon the training Of
the head. the heart and the hand. The
parents and other friends of the insti-
tuition are cordially invited to visit us
from time to time and know for
yourselves the class of work that is
being done there A few parents have
already visited the school. This we
appreciate very much. Il is hoped
that others may soon do likewise.
