Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1908-04-22
Closing Day at Glendale School

bic COURIER for some word about
Glendale. which, while it may have
been the last to be organized and
heard from, is by no means least.
The success of this school has GER
tainly settled, In the minds of all
who are in a position to know about
it, any question as to the need of a
school here in this end of old Long
marsh District. The enrolment
for the year being 81, with an
average daily attendance of %, and
this in spite of epidemics of whoOp-
ing-cough and measles, aided by
high water, bad weather and roads
upon which improvement could be
made, makes a record to be proud
of. The teacher, Miss Grace Clev-
enger, of Stephenson, Va, while
performing her duties most admir-
ably and displaying an ability Sec
ond to none in -instructing in the
public school branches, by no means
forgot that there are other things
besides book learning which 90
to make up an education. She
taught them that a combination of
morals and manners was one of the
greatest attributes of good citizen
ship, which should be their aim in
life. Even the school room was
conclusive proof of the esthetic
training they had received. The
walls were most tastefully decorat-
ed with original drawings, and the
blackboard drawings of the pupil>
were very emblematical of Easter.
We take this means of publicly
expressing our appreciation of her
work and TO thank her for her sim
cere and earnest efforts in behalf
of our children. A child always
feels that it has done just right when
it is rewarded by a treat of some
kind-candy or something of the
sort-and TO show that they thought
their teacher had done her part
just right, they prepared a delicious
treat of ice cream and cake a-plenty
for everyone, especially for Miss
Grace"
