Brevard Institute
Opens Thursday
The fall term of school at the Brevard Institute will begin
next Thursday morning. A number of students have already arrived and most of
the teachers will return from their vacations the first of next week. Officials
of the institute state that an unusually large number of students have registered
for the work of the session that opens next week.
The institute this year will have a new assistant professor,
Prof. O.H. Orr, who was last year principal of the high school at Weddington,
N.C. He comes to Brevard with highest recommendations from educational
authorities in North and South Carolina where he taught after his preparation
at Mars Hill College and the University of North Carolina. After his graduation
he also attended summer schoola tt the state agricultural college and the state
university.
There will also be a new teacher this year in the Science
Department. This positin is to be filled by iss Gertrude Falls, a graduate of
Greensboro College for Women. Miss Falls is a daughter of Rev. L.A. Falls, a
former pastor of the Brevard Methodist Church.
No Primary Department
at Brevard Institute
The management of the Brevard Institution has endeavored
since early in the summer to learn the wishes and needs of the patrons of its
Primary Department and finds that every indication shows that it will not be
necessary to re-open its primary rooms this fall. It seems evident that the Brevard
Graded and High Schools will open on time or very soon thereafter, with a most
excellent corps of teachers, providing every means of doing a high grade of
work for the pupils of our district. There is some call for the duplication of
the work by the Institute, but it appears that the majority of the patrons prefer
to use the advantages of the State School. It has therefore been decided that
the Institute will not operate classes below the fifth grade this year. This is
doubtless best, for it will make us take a more personal interest in our local
school, which must, under any circumstances, train practically all of our
children.
