ET ll FACU LTY THE FACULTY IS STILL THE HEART OF THE SCHOOL HE FACULTY is literally that, the HEART or THE SCHOOL, the life-giving centre, from which must come the currents which energize, feed and quiclc- en the entire body. We must have modern equipment, teachertraining, degrees, tests and measurements and the material things which go to assist the teacher, but after all the lcind of man that teacher is, is still the supreme consideration. Castle Heights has FIVE EXECUTIVES, of from ten to twenty-five years experience in teaching boys. Any one of these men might well be superintendent of a school. All of them put in full time in the class-room, sub-dividing the executive duties so that they will not interfere with what we consider here the most vital worlc at the Academy, namely, the personal contact with cadets in the class-room from day to day. Colonel Armstrong is a Castle Heights product, having worlced to his present position from that of lowest instructor. With the exception of several years spent as Dean and Head of the Department of Mathematics at Cumberland University, he has been at C.H.M.A. since 1909. Thousands of Castle Heights cadets have felt his firm, but lcindly, guidance. Lt.-Col. Buchanan, PhD., Dean, brings to the Mathe- matics Department a rich experience and preparation. He, too, has been teaching for twenty years. Major Kendall, the Headmaster, for ten years has held positions of responsibility. The English courses take on vital interest under his compelling hand. He is the friend of every boy in the Academy and a wise and patient helper when a boy is in difficulty. Major lngram has the more or less thanlcless taslc of Commandant, with its disciplinary burden, but in spite of that fact the boys love and respect him for the impartiality which accom- panieshis strictness. Major Hillard, the professor of Military Science and Tactics, has the regard of every cadet in the school for his qualities as a gentleman and a soldier. He is a West pointer through and through, with all that implies, and he has identified himself with the school to a remarkable degree. Every member of the faculty is devoting his life to teaching boys. Each has been chosen for outstanding ability in appealing to, inspiring and developing boy- life and character. Each has been chosen! for those qualities of heart and life which will live on and on in the lives of the boys whom he teaches.
