The board decided that Miss Price was the best qualified in all respects and voted her the place.

much to recommend her, yet no one can -say the board acted unwisely in selecting so excellent a successor to Mrs. Tillman as they have.

She has held the position as librarian here for several years and has in all respects been an ideal officer, and there will be general regret at her leaving the place.
