Miss Inez NJ. Johnson left on Wednes-

has accepted the position of primary
teacher in private family. Miss John
son is a graduate of Beall High School
and for three years last past has been
the primary teacher in the Model De
partment of the State Normal school.
The School Board has given her year
leave of absence, and hopes to have her
back in county service next year. She
is capable, earnest, successful teacher,
and, socially, a most amlable young
lady. To the foregoing the JOURNAL
feels it should add the comment of the
Cumberland Ne|S' correspondent:
Miss johnson is one of the most successful
primary teachers in Maryland, and possesses
testimonials from Governor Edwin War
field, State Superintendent NJ. Bates Ste
phcns, and other prominent schoomen IN
this State. In addition to her proficiency as
a teacher in primary work, Miss Johnson
is a musician of no small ability. Before
her assignment to the Model School de
