We are glad to note the Progress our Academy is making in the educational world. It has always sustained a high reputation for thoronghness and its students have acquitted themselves creditably wherever they have gone. 4 The success of the schoo! has naturally attracted maay students from far and near, and this increase in students has necessitated a gradual increase in the faculty, A new instructor was added last year and now Prof. Jas. R. Hughes has secured still nother for next year in the person of Bayard H. Sharpe, the clever athlete of Penn’a State College, who graduates this year. Mr. Sharpe, by reason of his excellent scholarship and general athletic ability will, doubt- less, prove a card for the Academy. The principal will give up several! classes next year to Mr, Wharton, who has been specially trained for classical and his- torical work, while he himself will super- intend the general interests of the school, Mr. Sharpe will assist in the mathema. tical work. This step on the part of Mr, Hughes from teaching principal to head master is a most important one, ought to elevate the school far beyond any level as yet attaived, the new It means expense, but students added system will warrant it. benefits the town intel under such a A school that lectually and finan- cially as the Academy does merits hearty co-operation on every hand.
