Head Mistress Resigns after 33 Years at Irchester
A meeting of the Irchester, School Managers was held on Monday last, when there were present: Mr. J. A. Kemshead (chairman), Mrs. W. A. James, Messrs L. Parsons, T. C. Hartwell, E. A. Taylor, and the clerk (Mr. F. Partridge).

The Managers received with great regret the resignation, owing to illness, of Mrs. Gray, who had been head mistress of the Infant School for upwards of 33 years.

The Chairman said Mrs Gray, by her ability and sympathetic training of the children placed under her charge, had gained the respect of all.—A resolution was passed conveying the good wishes of the School Managers to Mrs. Gray, and their hope that she might speedily recover from the serious operation which she has recently undergone.

Miss B. Smith, assistant teacher of the Mixed Department, gave notice of her intention to resign owing to her approaching marriage.

It was resolved, on the proposition of Mrs. James, that the School Managers present a book to Florrie Brown as a mark or their appreciation of her completing six years perfect attendance at school.
