 Two of the original Board of Trustees of the school survive and both are now residents in Birmingham. They are Gen. Charles M. Shelley and Major Joseph Hardte. During the time that Miss Fer guson taught in the school there were three different superintendents and the personnel of the trustees changed quite as much; and the fact that throughout all these mutations her place was ever ready for her and she was prized as a valuable helper in the school is fndts- putable evidence of her ability and faith fulness to perform her duties.
