ST. CHARLES, Mo-, APRiL Ia, 1910.
In reply to your enquiry Of my opinion ofthc Female
SCHOOL, in st. Charles for several years past, by Mrs.
Allen, I can freely and c~heerfully state that l have had
| some opportunity of becoming acquainted with the rep.
utation Of the school and the merits and qualifications
Of the Teacher.
have never known a better female school in any
place, and I believe that Mrs. Allen has very few suPc.
riors as 4 Teacher.
Her requirements and qualifications as an instructress
in teaching has been considerable, her industry and at.
tention TO her school are unusual, her mode Of impart-
ing information and instruction is natural and snc-
cessful, and her manner Of treatment and govern.
ment is well calculated to gain and secure the con.
fdence, respect and good will Of those entrusted 10 her
care. Such is her reputation among those who have
had the best opportunity Of being Intimately acquainted
with her mode Of teaching and conducting her school
have never known any person who was well &C.
GRANTED with the School who did not form a very high
opinion of its merits and those who have patronized it,
have awarded it to the most unqualified expression oil
their confidence and appreciation. l consider tho
School worthy Of tho highest confidence and liberal
patronage.
Very Respectfully.
