ABSTRACT
buted to her remarkable powers of organisation, but more to her enthusiasm in her work, and her wonderful personal influence. Her aim was to develop her pupils both morally and physically as well as mentally. She encouraged athletics and gymnastic exercises, promoted debating societies, organised lectures on subjects outside the school curriculum, and impressed on her pupils the importance of not allowing school interests· to overpower or interfere with home duties. She ruled with a firm but gentle hand both teachers and pupils, and few who have seen can forget the sight of the gala-days of the North London Collegiate School, when the great hall was filled with hundreds of pupils and mistresses, past and present, dominated by the small; but dignified figure, who was the inspirer and sharer of their work, and their counsellor and friend in times of difficulty. She is gone now; but her work remains. On the last day of 1894 she was laid to rest at Theydon Bois, Essex, a memorial service having been previously held in Holy Trinity Church, Clarence Road, Kentish Town. The building was packed with relations, friends, and pupils, and the pallbearers were ladies and gentlemen representing the various educational interests with which she was specially connected. The Rev. Dr. Cutts officiated, and an address was delivered by Canon Browne, of St. Paul's.
