Young Lady Who Headed Girls’ School Departs.

Miss Grace Findley, who for four years has been oneof the teachers and for the past two years the principal of the Monnett-De Peyster School for Girls, left this Thursday morning for her home at Brownstown, where she expects to spend the summer and possibly for a rest of . a year. Miss Findley has performed a difficult task in managing the financial affairs of the school and in having the general management of it and has done it in a splendid manner and the rest will be well earned. Those who knew Miss Findley personally realized how splendidly she has performed the labors connected with her position and also how worthy a little woman she is and will regret that she has severed her connection with the school, which is now solely under the charge of the conference and no longer in, any manner connected with the Chicago Training School. That it has a splendid future seems assurred and in future years when it has grown to the proportions that are believed possible all who have known of Miss Findley’s work will give her great credit for the success so splendidly started during her management. The hew principal, Miss AlVerta Simpson, is also a woman of splendid attainments and should be given every encouragement possible by our people.
