EAITHFr1, TO THEIR TRUST.

with the resignation OF fro1. ana
Mrs. A. M. Isanogle, as Principal and
Assistant, respectfully of McDonough In
stitute, the school loses two teachers
whom it will be, in many respects, next
to impossible to duplicate, and II IN their
successors, the Board of Trustees has
been so fortunate as to find two others
who will take the same amount OF untlr-
ing interest, and give the school as falth-
full and honest service as has character
lied the terms of Mr.. and Mrs. lsanogle,
it is indeed to be congratulated.
"Not only do they leave in the face or
protest on the part of the Board of Trus-
tees, but with the deep regret OF all the
students and patrons of the Institution
and the friends of the school.
"Both the Professor and Mrs. lsanogle
have been identified with McDonough
since it's origin in 1903, and it can truly
be said that whatever success, 1t has
achieved since it's birth, is due almost
entirely to their efforts and interests in
it's growth.
"'They took hold of an uncertainty, an
opportunity we might say, nothing more,
for the establishment of great lnstltu-
ton of learning, and backed by the Board
of Trustees, they have labored untiringly
until most crcditable school has been
placed on a sound foundation.
Through their efforts McDonough In
stitute has prospered and succeeded
grown and broadened and become thor
oughly established as an institution of
learning in our midst. and Charles coun-
ty has been furnished most needed and
most essential institution to the future
success and advancement of her youth.
In this school the children of our county
are offered an opportunity for an educa-
ton that fits them for the grasping OF
opportunities and the waging of the bat
ties of life.
"Already her graduates are achieving
success as stenographers and teachers
and in other vocations.
1T would seem, almost, to those who
believe in fate, that it had hand in the
selection of the first Principal and Assist
ant at McDonough, so wise has the Sc
lection of the Board proven to have them.
No two people could possible have beer
selected who would have taken more gen.
uine interest in the school or had its sue.
| cess more at heart than these, and this
| in great measure is responsible for the
gratifying success that has been achieved.
/ "Only those who have been closely as
ISOLATED with the Institute can fully real
ize all that these two have done, or the
many obstacles that they have had t.
overcome or the trials with which they
have been confronted, but much of that
is over now, and their successors willonlN
have to take up the good work wher,
they leave it off and push it on to still
greater success. A school like othel
great and important undertaking has II!
hardest struggle in its infancy and thu
older it grows the more hardy it becomes
aside from a thorough performance
of their duties Mr. and Mrs. lsanogl'
have gained host of friends among thu
students and the people of our county
and Mrs. Isanogle especially has beer
beloved by all those to whose care an(
training she has administered and will
out exception the former as well as tn,
present pupils Of McDonough, will bic
her farewell with sorrowing hearts and ;
loyal tear.
"The Professor and his wife will leave
/ this section in the full constituencies OF
duty well and faithfully performed, anC
in the full knowledge that SO long as Me
Donough endures the names Of Mr.. an(
Mrs. lsanogle will be linked with it!
success.
while we part with them only witt
the deepest regret that circumstances anc
duty calls them elsewhere, We cannot but
join with the student body and then
friends in old Charles, in trusting that
the change may mean greater success
and happiness for them and in wishing
them full share of the prosperity and
/ Joy of life. " The Times Crescent, LIE

/ I'VE note with much pleasure the high
encomums, pronounced on one of our
'boys" from Frederick county. and is
only another instance of their making
good. Prof. Isanogle comes home as a
matter of tlial duty, and will reside or
the home place near Catoctin, looking
after the interests of the estate. We
hope to see Prof. lsanogle engaged in his
educational work in this county at some
future time. -Ep.
