JUNIOR CADET REPORTS HIS PRESENCE TO OFFICER IN CHARGE TTTHE junior School is in effect as separate and dis- tinct from the Senior School as though it had no con- nection whatever. It is at a considerable distance from the upper school and its setting is one of incomparable beauty. It is surrounded by a broad, blue grass covered campus which is dotted with original forest trees, includ- ing oak and hickory, of great size and beauty. The administration building of the Junior School is the former Mitcliell Mansion, built of Sewanee sand- stone at a cost of over S100,000. The interior of this building is in keeping with its exterior. It is doubtful that any school building in the country exceeds this in elegance of appointment. In addition to this building there is a newly-built study hall and barracks, accom- modating fifty cadets. The third building of the group is Coverdale Hall, which is the academic building. The capacity of the Junior School is one hundred cadets. The work given begins with the third grade and extends through the eighth. Such has been the acclaim with which the Junior School has been received that there has not been a vacancy in the school since its inception. It has always enjoyed a capacity enroll- ment. Junior School patrons have been pleased with the care and supervision which their boys have received as well as the homelike atmosphere which surrounds them. Three house mothers and a trained nurse minister con- stantly to the needs of the Junior School boys, in addi- tion to the faculty in residence which numbers seven. Classes are very small and each boy,s progress is closely watched and provided for. The Castle Heights Junior Academy is one of the few distinctive schools for little boys and is outstanding in this field.

11,141.02 A-CA00! FACULTY We are pleased to announce the Junior School faculty for the ensuing year. From the principal throughout the entire group, they are high minded, enthusiastic persons of strong personality. We wish that you might know them personally and individually, for you would feel very safe in entrusting your boy to them. MAJOR Joi-:N MORGAN Principal It is more important to have strong teachers in an ele- mentary school than in high school, for here is where the foundation is laid for all future education. As the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined,,' is a sound educational maxim. The early stages of the educational process are the most vital and far reaching in importance. Small boys idealize their teachers if they are of sufficiently strong individuality to grip the boys, admiration. Practically all of our Junior Staff are men of athletic type, outstanding athletes, in fact, in their college life. The red-blooded boy loves to associate, to play with men of this stamp. But athletic ability was, of course, a secondary motive in their choiceg character and ability to teach were the primary considerations. You may entrust your son to these men with full faith and confidence in their honesty, earnestness, and devotion to their taslc. CAPTAIN G. C.
