AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL S FINE OPENING. Fall Term Opened Wednesday With Greatly Increased Attendance. That Prof. Lawrence Duffey, the new President of the Sixth District Agricultural School, has beeen active in his work since he recently assumed the presidency is evidenced by results —which is the highest evidence. The enrollment Wednesday morning/ when the fall term was begun, was highly satisfactory, girls and boys being present from various counties of the district and they are yet coming in. The en rollment Wednesday was about sixty. Everything was in fine condition in the buildings and about the premises, showing that things had been given attention. In fact, the school appears to be in the best condition in every way since its organization. The equipment is more complete and various im provements are noticeable. Still Prof. Duffey states many more improvements will be made im mediately and it is the general belief that the school will accom plish more from now on than it has ever been able to do before. The outlook is very encouraging for rapid growth of the school in all departments. Prof. Duffey will be assisted by the following faculty: Prof. T. O. Galloway, who has heretofore been with the sclfool whose specialty is agriculture, Miss Maud Smith, also a former member of the faculty, who has the department of domestic science, Prof. R. R. Bloss, mechan ics, mathematics and physics, Miss Lula Wall, music, art, free hand drawing and English and Prof. Jacob Rosenbaum, English History and director of the band, the last three being new members of the faculty. —Barnesville News- Gazette.
