Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superin-
were read, noting with regret the death
of Prof. John T. Layton. for many
years assistant director of music, and
Miss Parthenia Woodson. a pioneer
teacher of the colored schools. Presi-
dent Blair expressed regret on behalf
of the board, and ordered the hags on
the colored schools to be put at half
staff.
The letters read said in part:
The late John Il. Layton Will al
ways be remembered with apprecia-
ton as highly useful pioneer in the
development of the musical g'fts OF
most musical people. What pity that
such a man toward the close OF such a
career could not have been granted
the privileges of a teachers retirement
fund.-
That concerning Miss Woodson, said:
This teacher was widely known and
held in high esteem throughout the
community. Her former pupils were
always keenly appreciative of the in
SEPARATION they received from her to-
ward clean living and sound cltlzen-
ship. She was at all times actively IN,
terested in every endeavor that tended
toward the social and civic uplitt OF
the colored community. This good
woman and devoted teacher will long
be remembered by thousands who knew
and loved her.
Let it not be forgotten that this
serviceable life would in all probabil-
ity have been spared to this community
for some time to come had the schools
of the capital of the nation modern
system for the retirement of teachers
