The School Board Meets.

The School Board met in regular
session on Monday evening in the
Second Ward School building. The
regular routine business was hur-
ried through and matters of import.
ance were then taken up and dis
cussed. The ACCESSIBILITY of having
spring vacation in the schools was
discussed by President Wolfes and
Supt. Cole. The suggestion was
that weeks vacation be given to
the teachers and scholars during the
spring term, the time thus taken to
be made up at the end of the year.
The subject was favorably discussed
by the Board, and it was decided to
have weeks vacation during
spring. The exact time has not yet
been decided upon, but in all proba-
bility it will be given about Easter.
The subject Of more commodious
school buildings was discussed, and
it was decided that meeting of the
citizens be called on Friday evening,
March 25th, in the Court House, at
T.30 o'clock, for the purpose of dis
cussing the advisability of issuing
bonds for the purpose of purchasing
ground and building a new High
School building and erecting other
primary school buildings. The great
need of building in the First Ward
is felt and the condemned condition
of the Second Ward building almost
makes it necessary to have two new
school houses. The buildings are
all crowded and the building of the
handsome and commodious new
building in the Fifth Ward has in.
spired the patrons of the schools, as
we'll as the Board, to make some eff
fort to have other modern buildings
erected iD the various wards of the
city. The erection of new High
School building would leave the
present building for use for some
other purpose. 1t is hoped that the
citizens will enter heartily into the
movement and render the board all
the help necessary TO the improve
ment of our city schools.

Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Catherine Eakin died
at her home on West King street
last Saturday, at 1.30 p. M, after an
illness of ten months. Died so we
say we mean that the spirit of this
lovely christian was released from
the troubled occupancy of the
crumbling tabernacle of the body,
and was borne TO the home prepared
for her in Heaven. Did her journey
lie on "Jordan's stormy banks 2"
No she fell sweetly asleep and open
ed her eyes upon the streets of gold
she was 10 the Celestial City
whose walks are of precious stones
and her gates of pearl. And 10 He
whom her soul loved, stood before
her and with His own hands wiped
all tears from her eyes and babe her
welcome. The strong stubborn
spirit of pride causes men to de-
spise,to defy the Almighty God and
like the oak in the hand of the
tempest, the sinner in the hands OF
God, is broken-protracted, ruined.
This gentle spirit bowed like the
sweet flower which the wind laysup
on the ground-which the sun ten
derby lifts again and clothes with
new beauty and life. "She is not
dead, but sleepeth." Not lost, but
found. Mrs. Eakin was aged IS
years and ii months, and was wide
ly known and universally loved.
She was twice married, first to Mr..
Luther Seibert; who lived but
year, and later to the Rev. James
Eakin, of the Baltimore Conference.
A tier the death Of Rev. Eakin, she
returned to her home on King
street. this city, and there resided
until her death. The funeral took
place on Monday, at p. M, from
the M. E. Church, South. Her
pastor, Rev. S. G. Ferguson, assist
ed by Rev. j A. Price and Presld-
ing Elder Bond conducted the i'm
pressive ceremonies. The interment
was in Green Hill Cemetery.
