Extreme care has been exercised in the selection of the staff, every member of which is a graduate of a standard college. Some are graduates of the best colleges and universities in the land and have had special training for the subject they will teach, besides several years of successful teaching experiences. The grade school faculty will be announced later. The high school staff follows: Miss Cora J. Miller, Louisiana State University, who has been attending summer school at University of California, will again be principal of the high school and teach some mathematics and civics.
