She feels that because of her long term of service she needs a rest and wishes to retire before here rresent efficiency wanes.

Miss Harris is beloved by numerous men, women and children of this city who have been taught by her, and her loss to the teaching force of the city schools will be felt keenly by all. During all the years of her work, she has kept abreast of the times, and her teaching now is up to the standard of the best primary teachers of the State, and to that efficiency she has added the warm, human love for children which always distinguished her handling of them and has given them unforgettable memories of their first year in school. She will draw a teacher's pension, to which fund she has contributed for years. Miss Harris was known in the community and elsewhere as a woman with a very keen mind, and her reading kept her alive to all the cultural movements of the world. She was called on many times to help or direct affairs in this city, promoted for the betterment of the mind.

Her loss to the schools is great and will not be fully realized until later. Fortunate are those who have already had the privilege of taking their first year of school under Miss Harris.

East School Building to go Next year the old East School building. located on the corner of East Main and Pratt streets, will be deserted, and its pupils will go to the present High School building. The building was condemned for school purposes.

The only way that the approval of the State Board for the plans for the new High School could be gained was on condition that arrangements would be made to take care of the East School building pupils in some other building. The new High School building is being made large enough to care for the seventh and eighth grades, and thus leaves the Central building ample room to take care of pupils in the lower grades, attending now at the Longfellow building. The East building was erected in 18S3. the general contractors being Hunt and Herron. Albert Fitz was the brick contractor.

The building was completed at a cost of $5,400. The vacating of this building will leave a desirable property, one by one-half block square in area, open for improvement.
