HARRIS. Mr.. R. G.. Mulky, former
COuuly VI 41o1 III
county, in a private letter of condo
lence to the family, says Of the late
Miss Carolyn Harris:
81 shall never forget the many pleas
ant visits bad With S; a e sa2
was engaged in teaching both in the
public schools and in our Normal In
stitute. Few teachers possess theI
rare gift of almost continual smiles as
did your sister Carolyn. She was a
teacher of unusual ability, both nat
ural and acquired. Her fine executivel
ability left a lasting impress upon all
the grades. She was possessed of a
charming personality and in addition
to artistic gifts of high order was a
writer of short stories and poems
while here. She spared no labor, or
pains in the daily preparation of her
work in order that her pupils might
have, the best that could be had. Her
devotion to her pupils was simply I'M
bounded. She governed absolutely
by love and good will. l am sure it
is no exaggeration when l say that
she invariably had the esteem and
love of her entire school wherever she
taught. AS evidence of her rare
work, she rapidly advanced from the
village school up to the important po-
sition of principal of one of the ward
schools of Des Moines, where she la
bored with eminent satisfaction till
she was compelled to give UP her po-
sition in the hope of regaining her
lost health by travel and rest. Miss
Harris will not soon be forgotten by
the Marion county teachers of 1868
because of her able and efficient work
she did in the county normals. Sne
was a favorite among the entire insti-
tute, and her methods and teachings
made lasting impressions. 1t is a
fact greatly to be lamented that such
noble characters are not blessed unto
physical strength and endurance that
they may be permitted to live out
their reasonable time. But the de-
crees of the Almighty are irrevocable
and His ways are mysterious. While
the life work of Miss Harris is short,
yet it can not be computed, and the
influence OF her noble character will
be felt for many year to come. / am
sure that scores of Marion county
teachers join me in extending SINGER
est sympathy to the bereaved friends
Of the deceased and mourn the I'M
timely less of our former teacher and
friend"
