Prof. B. D. W. Conner, of Wilson,
ho is in the very front rank of the
State's preparatory teachers, has been
elected principal of the Wilmington
High School, the academic institution
of the local graded school system, and.
will be here for the opening of the
Fall term. Prof. Connor succeeds
Mrs. B. B. John, nee Miss Fiorina u.
Worth, resigned.
The election was made a few days
ago by the joint school commiteee for
the two districts embracing the city of
Wilmington. Prof. Connor is a
young man, unmarried, a graduate of
the University of North Carolina, and
a son of Judge H. Q. Connor, so well
known and highly esteemed in the
Eastern section of the State and re
cently nominated for Associate Justice
r th Rnnreme Court. Prof. Connor
has lately been engaged as principal of
the city school in Oxford, N. C , where
he met with marked success. He has
an excellent record as an educator and
a disciplinarian. The High Bcnooi is
very fortunate in securing his ser
vices. Upon the election of Prof. Connor
there were yet two vacancies in the
faculty of the school and these were
filled by the election of Miss Alice V.
Txrn.n ntT.nnr. N. C and Miss
MaOaea. of Staunton, Va. Both are
teachers of experience, highly educa
ted and cultured and will be received
cordially by the student body of the
High School.
The Institution will begin the new
fiscal year with a most excellent facul
ty and all departments in readiness for
good work.
