ton OF q board IN refusing W eoA-
tinue her in a position in the schools
next session. 1t was next to lmpossl-
bic to see all the people, but OF those
to whom this paper was presented
only a very, very few refused to sign
it..
This is one subject upon which the
sentiment of the whole community
seems to be practically unanimous.
To the Trustees Of the Newberry
Graded School.
Years Mrs. W. Y. Fair has taught in
the schools of our town, and, since its
organization, about twenty years ago,
has taught the primary grades of our
graded school.
During all these years her work has
been of exceptional quality. As a dis
ciplinarian of primary grades, she has
few, if any, superiors; as an instruc-
tor, her efficiency and thoroughness
are known, valued, and acknowledged
by the hundreds Of pupils she has
taught, and by the parents of the chill
dren now under her instruction. The
influence Of her high character and
ideals, her culture and refinement, heT
lofty Christian womanhood and noble
, life. is an asset too valuable for the
children of Newberry to lose.
Teaching has been her life work.
\ Her interest in the boys and girls OF
our community is now, and always
has been, vital and unfagging, and to-
day the effectiveness of her teaching
i and the influence Of her personality
are as potent as ever in training the
minds and forming the characters OF
: the children of Newberry.
Therefore, gentlemen, we, patrons,
former pupils and, the others inter-
ested as we are in the education OF the
children of our town, and thereby, in
the success of our public school,, wish
to protest against your recent action,
Whereby, you refused to reflect Mrs
!, Fair as a. teacher for the next year in
our graded school.
