Only four changes in personnel will be made in the teaching forces of the white city schools, it was learned yesterday. These four changes are brought about through the resignation of members of the present year, necessitating the appointment of teachers to take their places. This is considered to be a very remarkable record. According to Prof. E.D. Pusey, superintendent of the city schools, this is the first time in the history of the Durham city schools during the eight years he has been head of the system, that such a small number of changes were made in the teaching personnel.
The resignations were from Prof. D.H. Gilpatrick of the department of history; Miss Grace Holton of the English department; Prof. W.H. McMahon, principal of the Edgemont graded school. [Only three were listed.]
Quinton Holton, well known Durham man, has been elected as the successor of Prof. Gilpatrick who resigned in order that he might again take up work at Columbia university. Mr. Holton was at one time a member of the high school faculty and during his tenure of service did excellent work. He did exceptionally good work in training the debating teams of the school and took particular interest in the work of the literary society.
Miss Susie Williams returns to the high school to take up work as a member of the faculty. She was at one time a teacher in the Morehead graded school and taught in the Morganton schools last year. She will teach Mathematics.
C.S. Green, also a Durham man and son of Rev. and Mrs. T.M. Green, of West Durham, has been elected to the department of English. Miss Holton resigned from this department to enter Chicago university. Mr. Green was a member of the faculty of Lakewood graded school during the school year which has just come to an end and is considered to be one of the best teachers of English available. Supt. Pusey expressed gratification upon securing him for the place made vacant by Miss Holton.
H.E. Nycum, who has been instructor of mathematics in the high school for the past several years, has been made principal of the Edgemont school. Prof. W.H. McMahon, principal last years, has resigned his position with the Durham schools to accept the superintendency of the Ashboro city schools. The corps of teachers employed by the Durham city school system during the term now coming to an end is considered to be the best in the history of the schools. Most of them have won degrees and all of them have excellent certificates. During the 1922-23 term excellent progress was made by the students as a whole. Every department of the system did good work.
