“THE TATLER.” 11 MR. JOHN ELLIS TURNER, the principal of the Alton High School, passed his early life in Taylorville, 111., and was graduated from the High School of that city. Later he entered Lincoln University, at Lincoln. III., and after finishing his course, engaged in teaching. In 1894 he became assistant principal of the Alton High School, a position which he held for one year. Upon the resignation of Mr. George E. Wilkinson as principal. Mr. Turner was chosen for that position. Since that time he has devoted himself thoroughly to the school’s interests and has brought the course of study, the equipment and organization of the school to a high degree of efficiency. During his principalship. the teaching force has increased from four instructors to nine, a new building has been erected, and the enrollment of the high school has grown from one hundred and twenty to three hundred and thirty-five. The excellent new $50,000 building was entered in 1902, an event which marked a new era of development in the school. Increased library and laboratory facilities stimulated the study of subjects dependent on these helps, while the gymnasium has become an habitual resort for those boys and girls who are fond of exercise. The High School has also on a place on the accredited lists of a huge number of the leading colleges and universities of the United States, thus giving graduates from this school entrance to those institutions without examination. The possession of a large and suitable auditorium, also, has made possible a large number of pleasing and instructive entertainments, such as lectures, concerts and recitals. Through the efforts of Messrs. Haight and Turner, such a course was instituted this year and met with remarkable success. Great as has been the progress of the High School, still larger and higher attainment lies in the future, and it is to be hoped that the school may continue to enjoy for a long time to come the wise ami efficient direction of Mr. John Ellis Turner.
