The School offers 1e principal, Xu W. O. UDD. is a graduate of the Georgia- AiaDama BUSlrlSS Clnlttfcrp nf Maon, Georgia, and an A. B. graduate of the North Carolina btate University. At the last named institution he took a special course in pedagogy and school organization; thus thor oughly preparing himself for the duty of supervising and teaching in the modern school. Principal Cobh has, in addition to this special preparation, had six years of successful experience in school work. The intermediate department of the School will be taught by Miss Ina E. Jones, an A. B, grad uate of the old and renowned Salem ' Female Academy, Winston-Salem, N.C., at which insti tution she also took a special Teacher's Normal Course. Miss Jones has also had two terms of successful experience as teacher. Miss Maude Ruppe, one of Polk county's first grade, experi enced and successful teachers. has been elected to teach the primary department. The department of music' will be under the skilful direction of Miss Garnette Williams'. This is Miss Williams's third term with us. . The dormitories will be under the direct supervision of the prin cipal of the 'school; Good, wholesome, substantial board will be given 'for both the boys and girls at the girls' dor mitory at the now very "low rate of $10.00 per month. Mrs. Cobb, who is an experi enced teacher and a Greensboro State Normal College woman. will have charge ;sf the girls' dormitory and boarding house. It shall be the utmost endeavor of both the principal and Mrs. Cobb to make the school and dor mitory life as home like" as possi ble that it be made pleasant as well as profitable, and to see that each studeat hta the same priv ileffe and adyantaj WiUi tho above advantages, to gether with the fact that every cmin in Kniir notintv has thA on-' portunity of attending the Colum bus High School free of charge, and further that free scholar ships will be given worthy stu dents to enter without examina tion or tuition the.State Univers ity of North Carolina, the Greens boro Normal College, or any of the other colleges of the State; it seems to us that a casual consid eration of the matter! would in duce every citizen of Polk county to see to it that his boys and girls attend the Columbus High School and Industrial Institute this yearJ and enjoy the privileges aifd ad vantages which the State ' . of North Carolina has made it pos sible for them to get at this insti tution.
