The Union Board of High Schools yesterday, besides approving bills amounting to $280,22 elected Miss Sarah C. Stubbs as teacher in Woodward High School. The first ballot stood: Miss Stubbs, 6; Miss Lucy Ambrose, 4; Miss Lottie Leopold, 1. On the second ballot Miss Stubbs received 8; Miss Ambrose 2, and Miss Leopold 1. The election of Miss Stubbs gives great satisfaction in educational circles. She has been teaching for many years in the intermediate department of Walnut Hills (Twenty-second) District, where is highly spoken of. Her election over such competitors as Miss Ambrose and Miss Leopold is a great compliment to her.

In the brief death notice published Sunday announcing the death in Washington, D.C. of Mrs. Joseph F. James, few of her old friends and associated of Cincinnati realized that the death of Miss Sarah Stubbs, a former teacher at Woddward High School, was recorded.

Mrs. James, before her marriage to Prof James, taught at Woodward from 1879 to 1885, leaving them to marry Mr. James, who afterwards was professor of biology at Miami University and later was a practicing physician at Hingham, Mass., where he died about twenty years ago.

The body of Mrs. James will be brought to Cincinnati Tuesday for cremation, according to Miss Louise M. Armstrong, teacher at Woodward.
