  Among the many recent improvements is the erection of a first class public school, one of the finest in South Mississippi and a matter of pride to every taxpayer in Bay St. Louis.

 

  If the country had been looked over, a more lovely or convenient spot could not have been selected for an educational institution.  This splendid sight is slight elevation among beautiful pines, oaks, and cedars, corner of Carroll and Second streets, both of which have been shelled and opened under the administration of Capt. Toulme, the present mayor.  The building is about one quarter of a mile from the Louisville and Nashville depot and about half the distance from the courthouse on Main street, in easy distance for all the children attending school.  The shoolhouse is 42x62 feet with a large hall and handsome front gallery, and contains four very large recitation and study rooms, also an exhibition hall with twenty-one windows and a state suitable for all the purposes for which it has been built.

 

  The whole building is well ventilated for summer and winter.  Flues have been built in all the rooms, and during the coldest weather the pupils can study in warmth and comfort.

 

  The building has been painted cream, with seal brown trimmings, the inside being hard oil finish.  The apparatus for the school is complete, and is furnished with everything useful for a first-class institution.

 

  The best of water will be supplied for the building, and a pupil breathing the sweet pure air from the pines and cedars, cannot help enjoying good health, surrounded on one side by the delicious scent from the pines and flowers, and on the other by the balmy breezes wafted over the gulf from other lands.

 

  The play grounds are large, filled with oaks and cedars, with a 6-foot board fence between.  The front yard will be used mostly for the teachers for cultivating flowers, which will not only add to the beauty of the place but will be the means of those engaged in the work of plenty out-door, health exercise.

 

  The building and furnishings are estimated at a cost of about $4500 and it can be truthfully be stated that any citizen of the Bay possessed of public spirit, will never be sorry for his part in the payment.

 

  The school is presided over by Prof. J. T. Eagan, from Nashville, Tenn;., a graduate of the National Normal University, Lebanon, Ohio, and Linwood High School, Tennessee.  Prof. Eagan is not only a learned and competent man, but is a gentleman of culture and refinement.  At present he (is) assisted by two accomplished young ladies, both of whom have considerable experience in teaching. Miss Theo Reese, graduated with high honors at Saint Joseph's Academy, Bay St. Louis, while Miss Graham received hers at Columbus, Miss.  (SCE 05/06/1893)
