WHEREAS, 1t has been represented to
| this Board by one of the District School
| Commissioners of the Warwick School,
| representing that Board by consent and
| with the appreciation of the other members
of said Board, that Miss Martha Biddle
vacated the school under their charge,
without due notice, and in opposition to
| their expressed wishes, and in violation of
Article 4th, section 18th of By Laws of
County School Board; and, whereas, this
statement is acknowledged by Miss Biddle;
| therefore,
| Resolred That Miss Biddle has been
guilty of serious drelection of her duties
| as a teacher, and has merited the penalty
! of the law in such cases made and provided:
but in view of her qualifications as teacher,
and the great Inconvenience that CheSa-
| peake school would suffer by her dismissal,
| this Board will not exercise its power to
withdraw her certificate for the present.

| Warwick school have but performed their
