After some years of secondary school teaching at Columba College, Dunedin, and Rangi-ruru, Christchurch, Miss Broadhead was appointed principal of Carncot, a private school for girls in Palmerston North, and this position she held continuously for the last 15 years, until she had to resign owing to illhealth. Miss Broadhead was a successful teacher, and under her guidance, the girls received a valuable primary education before • entering secondary schools. Miss Broadhead took a very deep interest in her work, arid won not only the affection of her pupils, but also the respect and esteem of their parents. She is survived by three brothers— Mr L. W. Broadhead and Dr. H. D. Broadhead, both of Christchurch, and Mr B. A. Broadhead, of Wellington.
