resents a gift of $3o,oooe
Mrs. Randall has so thoroughly
identified herself with this community
and has 50 completely won the hearts
of nearly every family through her
kindergarten work, that her leaving
will be the occasion of no little re
gret. Most of the people here, too,
haev all but forgotten that Miss Brad
ley came to HamptOnl as a student
from the very city to which she now
returns as a bride. After complet-
ing her course here she took kinder
garten training at Rochester, n. "
Since then she has had charge of the
kindergarten work at Hampton Insti-
tute in the Whittier Primary School
In this work she has been regarded
as exceptionally capable and success
full. If the mothers of the commun-
ity had had their say it is doubtful
if Miss Bradley would have been al
loked to leave. And Hampton Insti-
tute will certainly not find it easy TO
fill her place.
