In 1937 it is about 357.00 per month. g Twice the original school building Cchurch1 was Cl1lZll'Q'C1l 111111 lllllJl'UYt'4l. lJ11n111stic science tcoolc- ingj was added to t11e course of study. This lI'l1'lOVZllQll'll1 1li1l 11111 at Iirst meet with p11pular app1'11vfll. The CUl11ll1Cl1t was frequently l1ear1l that the girls' niotliers c11ul1l learn their Qlflllg'l11C'l'S to cook at home. Once when the girls left the gas stove burning from l7ri1lay aftern111111 to Rl11111lay morning the course in cooking CZIIHC near to being 8131111511611 as Il lire hazar1l. In March 1916, 1l1e SCl'10l1l building was clcstroyecl by tire-wwhich, how- ever, did not originate i11 tl1e Ubtllilllg' tlC1llll'1ll1Cl1t. Hy this tirc tl1e school lost not only its building l1ut its Ql'Ul1l1ll5 as well. lt is believed tl1at this is the L 11 , f' , only case on record where Il school lost both its l1uil1li11g and grounds by tire. XS The donor of tl1e origiiial building stipulated in the deed she gave the lioarcl i1if3'l2 ff? of Education to tl1e property t1111t if tl1is site were ever aba111l11ne1l as a school V if the g'I'O1.1l1ClS should l1ec111ne the property of the trustees of the Richmond 516,147 ' 1 Academy, at tl1at time Il private school for boys. The l111ard of 1'.Cll1CZ1.tlU1l had X. purchased before the fire Z1 site 11f eleven acres in another part,'of the city upon 1' V - -- which at some future time to erect a larger a111l more modern school building. feffflfd Following the fire the school ca1'rie1l on in two bunday school buildings, the il, A basement of one of the grade schools, and a resi1lence. A bond issue of ,- 515100.00000 was voted by the people to provide funds for the erection 11f the 5 ig, new building. This was the First. but not the last, b11nd issue voted by the 'V citizens of Augusta and Richniond Lounty for school purposes. Naturally, there was some opposition by the electorate. Wfhen the plans of the new building were first publishe1l in the local p11pers. the C1lll1l1'lCl'lt was frequently heard: It's too bigg they won't fill a building like that in Z1 h11n11re1l years. The new building was ready for use in February 1918. In three years it was filled, The objectors had to admit that they had missed their guess by ninety-seven yearsg which, 11fter all, is not a bad guess for the average school critic of the streets. The enrollment began to increase rapidly. In 1918 there were 312 girls in attendance. Today the en1'oll1ne11t nears the 1,200 mark. The faculty has in- creased from one male and one female to forty-one females and one male. From the beginning, the school principal has been a man. In the history of the school there have been only four principals. One served six years, another three years, a third eighteen years, The present principal is now in his thirty- fifth year of service. The local papers sometimes refer to him as 3 veteran educator, Time has 3 way of making veterans. T. HARRY GARRETT, Principal.
