Whilst the principal part of the city was vary quiet tais morning, thzre gath- ered in the elass room of the Senior High School the principals, teachers and assis- tants represeating the teaching staff of the island and various guests including several of our ciergymen. At a few min- utes before 10, His Excellency Governor :Hough, accompanied by his aides, entered and were welcomed by Principal Oliver. Shortly after, the Scheol Directorand Mrs. Nase, th/;:upsts of honour, were ushered in. Aftér thesinginz of "My Countev ’iis of thee’” the object of ihis unique gather- ing was announced by Prjncipal Oliver:ia a sbort address, in which he gave an ace- coune of bis connection with Mr. Nase from the time the latter came to St. Croix up to the present, and specially empha- sized the pleasant relationship between the Director and the teach:rs. He alse expressed the great improvement which the schools have madeundar the director- ship of Mr. Nase. He deeply regret.zd that the time had come when, as chief, Mr. Nase had to sever his connection with the schools in the Virgin Islands. He concluded by asking Mr. Nase to ac- cept from the teachers under his diree- tizn a token of their resyeet and affee- tion, and wished hitn ail sucezss in his future hife. Ihis gift was then brought in by Miss A. M. Vessup, Miss Ethel Mil- ler and Mr.Lewis of the Charlotte Amalia School and consisted of a beautiful silver tea service and a silver waiter, These articles were lying in a satin-iined box, made from native mahogany, cariying a silver piate on the cover on whica the name of the Director was envrgved. Miss Vessip read the note ol preseatauon, and Miss Miller presen:ed brs Nase with a bhzautiful bouquet, Mr. Nase repiied in*a very feeling inan- ner, thanking the teachers for their beau- tiful present and for their hearty cooper- ation, which made possible any success h» nad attained in his work Governor Hougi then arose, and, in well ciivsenewords, expressed his regret at parting with the Director, who was leaving at his own Volition. He was glad to say that the plans and work of Mr. Nase had met wito his full approbation. Mr. Cyril S. Sille, stenographer in the Direcior’s office, beggod leave o give a pieture of the Dir2«ior in his office work, Mr. Nase had impressed him as a most ¢flicient exécutive, who sympathized with his staff, and was'always ready, jls well as able, to help them in their d.uiculiies. Rev. Father Daily of ihe Roman Catho- lic Church emphasiz+d this fact in the life of D. R. Nase, that he was a school man out and out, one who knew his work well, stuek to his work, and concentrat- iag all his energies on it, made it a sue- cess. He knew that Directo- Nase was beloved by his teachers in Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. So trus was this in the case of Porto Rico, that one of the_ teachers th-re had taken his name. Bishop Creider was the last speaker, who spoke for the Commurity, and for the Chureh which, for many years in the past, had charge of the country schools in St. Thotmas and St. Jan. He referred to the improvement in the schoo! build- ings, furniture and carriculum, for a great part of which Mr. Nase was re- sporsible, and he wished the Direcior anl his wife God’s blessing in their fu- ture life, Nr. Nase repled briefly, thanking the speakers for their kind words. We could not forget to mention that two songs by Nrs. Heylicer and Miss Petrus, and a piano Sohlo by Miss Miller, added to the enjoyment of the meoeting. With the singing of the Siar Spangled Banner the mecting eam> to a elys-; and, with the teaeners of ih=2 sean)l and his many friends in the Community, we say *‘Bon Voyage’ and '‘Gool Lu-k’’ to Di- rector Nase and his wife.—lbid.
