yesterday morning at 8 O'Clock in the assem-

the schools this morning.
superintendent j. 81. Peay, Jr., before
entering into the detail work of his new
terms to the death OF his predecessor, Mr..
James H. Biliford:
Ladies and Gentlemen,-I meet you to-
day with mingled feelings of Joy and
sorrow. I rejoice to meet you with re-
newed health and 'vigor, and congratu-
late you on your return to the work OF an
other session. But grieve to know that
he who has been accustomed to fill this
place, who has been our leader and our
guide through all the years OF this system, is
not with us. No, our beloved SuperintenG-
ent is no more. Though feeble and failing
fast when we last met, thought he would
survive this opening meeting, and be here
to welcome US again to our labors. But it
is not so. He has passed to his reward-to
the peaceful rest of his SOUL How much
we miss him and how deeply we deplore
our loss our sorrowing hearts do we'll attest.
But let us hope that our loss is his gain; let
us emulate his virtues and initiate his eX-
ample in promptneSs and fidelity to work
and devotion to the cause he so earnestly
espoused. It is becoming that we should
give expression to our feelings concerning
his death.
At the conclusion Of Superintendent
Peay's remarks a motion was made by Mr..
William T. Fox, principal Of the Richmond
