She has been offered a splendid position in the city schools of Indianapolis, which she is prevented from accepting by the illness of her mother. The citizens of Geneva should see to it that instead of allowing Indianapolis to take one of the most efficient teachers we ever had she is given just promotion to higher grades and kept with us. —Geneva Herald.
