The board unanimously voted the
following:
Miss Edith Niles having voluntarily
withdrew from our corps of teachers,
the board of edcuation take this meth
cd OF commencing her for her faithful
work done in these schools. We have
no mental reservation whatever in rec
ommending her to any board needing
the services of an Al teacher. We rec
ognize Miss Niles as practical, strong
teacher and disciplinarian. II Miss
Niles desired to remain in our schools,
we would gladly re-elect her.
Miss Elizabeth E. Sinner voluntarily
sewers her connection with these
schools to accept place in the A. and
NJ. college at Las Cruces. Miss Sinner
has been in the Albuquerque schools as
teacher and principal for three years.
Her work has been uniformly success
full in every respect. While the board
regrets losing Miss Sinner. it volun-
tarily takes this method of showing
its appreciation of the work she has
done for our schools.
Miss Mabel Anderson intending to go
to college next year has voluntarily
withdrawn from the high school corps
of teachers. Her work has been of the
highest order-in discipline, in meth
ods of presenting the work, in ability
TO interest her pupils and to get them
to work, she has been particularly
strong. Under her direction, the pu-
pills of the high school have attained
a great proficiency in music, and to-
day, il is one of the features of the
school work. We are sorry to have
Miss Anderson leave us, but glad 10
speak thus highly of her work.
Miss Jessie Mcmillan, after three
years of faithful and successful work
in the Albuquerque schools. volun-
tarily resigns. Her work has been sat
isfactory in every way and in losing
her we feel that We are losing one Of
our best teachers. Boards of education
needing the services OF a first class
teacher will not make any mistake in
employing Miss Mcmillan.
