Presentation—Miss I. L. Scott, on leaving the Alfred-street infant school, of which she has been head-mistress for the last twelve years, in order to take up similar duties at the Newton-road infant school in succession to Miss Knight, was on Friday last the recipient of a very pleasing presentation. He gift, which comprised two handsome volumes of Kerner’s “Natural History of Plants” and a gold locket, was made by the teachers and children, the caretaker, and the parents and friends of the scholars. Through the medium of the “Rushden Echo” Miss Scott desires to thank all who subscribed to so handsome a gift.
