profitable term. One hundred and
fifteen teachers were present. They
were wide awake and enthusiastic
and will take to their respective
schools deeper conception of what
school teaching means and are better
prepared to do their work.
We very much regret that We were
unable to retain Miss Wilson in the

teacher and faithful in her work,
Miss Thomas, the new principal has
had wide experience in school work
