In tribute to Mrs. Wise and her services in the interest of education in Atlanta, an honorary es cort will attend, composed of members of the Board of Education, officials of the Atlanta school system, principals of the high schools, and officers and members of Commercial High School. The pallbearers are Willis A. Sut ton, II. Reid Hunter, Nathan Saltz- man, David Jacobs, E. C. Rivers, Louis Aronstrom, Albert Kuhn and Henry Bauer. Though her health had been bad for several years, and had led to her re tirement from the principalship of Commercial High School in 1925, Mrs. W ise's death came suddenly, fol lowing an unexpected crisis. She died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Eu gene Jacobs, of Birmingham, where she had been making her home most of the time since her retirement. In Forefront of Work Among the major figures in Atlan ta's educational history, Mrs. Wise was near the forefront. After over coming almost insuperable handicaps, she gained for herself an exceptional education, and dedicated her entire life to the service of educating young hoys and girls of Atlanta and Fulton county. She was born in Budapest, Hun gary, in 1866. She came to Atlanta as a small girl, unable to speak or understand a word of English, and, in her own phrase, “ a little green- h° vn - She entered a class in the old Walker Street School, of which the late Major W. F. Slaton was princi pal. Major Slaton, feceiving the high intelligence and the fine spirit of the little foreigner, bore sympathetically " ith her early confusion, and grad ually assisted her to an understand ing of the English language, and of local customs. The girl was in a class of small foreigners, and in June, after her en trance in November had to stand an examination in English. She led her class by a wide margin. Appointed to Faculty Graduating from grammar school with high honors, she entered Girls' High School, whence she was grad uated in 1894. So marked was her superiority, and so diligent her study ing, that three years later she \va s appointed to the faculty of that school and began immediately to lav tht foundation of the great commercia educational course which ultimateh s “ e made available for Atlanta’* youth. She attended a summer school year >, and gradually accumulated eertif mates and diplomas from various col leges and universities of the country in commerical and foreign language courses. She took summer work ai Educator Passes MRS. ANNIE T. ,*> emi nently identified with Atlanta public schools for thirty-two years, and a founder of Commercial High School, who died Saturday evening in Bir mingham. Columbia University, and finally went to The Sorbonne, in Paris, for further training. Returning from France, Mrs. Wise was still unsatisfied with her prepara tion for teaching. She matriculated at Georgia Tech, in the department of commerce, and was graduated as the only woman in a class of ninety. Commercial education became her central interest. She taught a com mercial class at Girls’ High School that offered only a one-year c iurse. This was later extended, through her efforts, to two years, and still later, after she had been made assistant principal, to three years. In 1910 she left Girls’ High School to become the first principal of the English Commercial High School for girls, with 147 students. In 1915, a? an experiment, the present Commer cial High School was established, and Mrs. Wise at last entered upon the phase of her teaching career toward which she had been steadfastly point ing for a decade. Resigns Her Post In 1920, she was instrumental in the establishment of the Opportunity School, which has enabled thousand? of Atlanta boys and girls to attend classes after their day’s work " ar completed. Failing health led her to resign her post as principal of Commercial Hig School in 1926, and hand over the reins of commercial education to those who had worked with her in la> in ^ its foundation. She was at one time president ^ the Atlanta Public School Teacher Association, and was a leading spin- in formation of the Commercial School Alumni Association. Besides her sister, she leaves a Leonard Wise, and two brother n y Teitlebaum, Atlanta, and L. H. el baum, of Memphis. Atlanta Journal.
