Show EMERY STAKE ACADEMY BEGINS NEXT MONDAY The Emery State Academy begins its 2lBt school year next Monday morning morn-ing with the brightest prospects ever before be-fore the school at the inauguration of a winter's work. The towns that have always come through with large representation repre-sentation will be here with their full quota while many towns that haye had only few pupils at the institution are intending sending large representations. The spirit of education seems to have a keen hold on the people of the county this year, and the splendid crops which Providence has favored all with this season give promise of furnishing the wherewithal that education may enjoy en-joy full sway this winter. Without a doubt the faculty for this year is the best-balanced teaching force the Academy has yet had; and, what is more, everyone of the teachers is converted con-verted to the modern necessity for education and is filled with the desire for helping each and every student to an education and a consequent bettering better-ing of his condition whatever his walk in life. Principal Hickman and Mrs. Emmer Day, matron of the school and instructor instruct-or in domestic ar-, are known to every boy and girl in the county as well as to every parent, and all know well enough that no boy or girl can come into contact con-tact with these two people as teacher and friend without being bettered to a degree that is hard to estimate. Prof. Halverson, who taught music in the Academy last year, proved his genius in the band which he turned out the best band the school has ever had; and, as physical instructor and coach, backed up, in the department of athletics, the name and fame enjoyed by the school in past years. Of the new teachers, nothing but un-, qualified good can be said. A mere glance at their intelligent and sincere j faces speaks volumes and to be more : intimately acquainted with them only intensifies the esteem in which all are bound to hold these new instructors of Castle Valley's youth before the year is through. They will prove to be, at once, good teachers and good citizens, Miss Bird, instructor in English, is a ; cousin to Miss Frances Bird, who taught j in the Academy some years ago and i who is now seriously ill at her Spring- j ville home; and in the English depart- ! ment all prospective students are sure : j to get their needings. Miss Bird, be- sides being an adept at her English and elocution, is an artist in other lines, too. She plays and sing3, and is also a playwright. play-wright. One of her original dramas, it is understood, will be staged by the Academy dramatic club this winter. Prof. Anderson, the new injtructor in chemistry and allied subjects is going go-ing to work wonders in his department and will prove a very fit successor to Prof. Kuhre, who was with us last winter. He is a hard and conscientious student, teacher, and worker -all in one. Prof. Baird, who came very near securing se-curing the principalship of a high scnool and who, therefore, is here with us more or less as an accident, is a man who is sure to be most capable, and furthermore is going to prove to be one of the school's stalwarts. His special department will be wood-work and the prospective carpenters and others who enter the school's wide-opened doors this fall will go forth much benefited from contact with such men as will be met at the Academy this fall. |
