The Windsor Graded School is very
fortunate indeed in securing
the ser
vices of Prof. W. R. Smithwick, as
its principal,-4 for the; next" session.
Prof. Smithwick comes at a great per
sonal sacrifice, leaving a very, much
larger school at Whitevilte, near Wil
mington, whch has been jjaying him
half again as much as he will receive
in Windsor,. Two reasons
to make the change and
impel him
accept our
offer one,' a feeling thatJ
'he owes
something to his native county and a
nother. that he wishes toll ae ve his
people and be near his kindred and
life-long friends, , He is easily one of
the very best equipped teachers in our
state. A graduate of Randolph-Ma-4
con uoinege, in Virginia wijerH, aiwer.
graduation he took : a post-graduate
course and received latfother" degree;
After leaving college be ' accepted a
professorship in the large seminary at
Beuna Vista, Vaf, where at different
times he filTed the chair of Greek
Latin, German, French English and
Mathematics. He s .fully capable ; of
filling any of the above chairs ' in ; any
of our state : institutions. ' Several
years ago he. spent th'e( summerjri Eu
rope persuing research worK which has
proven of great benefit to jiim. v '
Prof. Smithwick is': the oldest son of
our countyman, and countj j surveyor,
W. H. Smithwick,: who livei in Merry
Hill township, . He is, in addition to
his other qualifications as i teacher, a
man of unblemished-moral :hararacter,
high-toned, and a'higW; type of aj chris
