She showed every indication of con hidering it her life-task, and the Board was happy in the feeling that having made the right choice of a head, it h.-id won the abiding interest of a churchwomari of singular charm and exceptional force of character, under whose direction the school was hound to flourish. The staff and the girls of tho school will mourn the passing of one who had been a friend and counsellor, and a glowing example of strong, womanly character, and those parents who knew her well will deplore the loss of ono who was exorcising to beneficent an influence on their daughters.
