Rev. Sister and Friend:
Your school has won the Gold
Medal in the recent contest for the
greatest number of Palmer Method
Final Certificates in proportion to at
tendance issued to any Catholic Par
ish School in the Diocese of Fargo.
I congratulate you and your pupils
most sincerely. The Gold Medal will
be sent in time to show your pupils
at the opening of the school in the
fall and, in the meantime, you are at
liberty to use the information as you
see fit, through announcements to the
children, the parents and elsewhere.
1t is matter of regret that the firm
employed to make the Gold Medals is
so overloaded with work at this sea-
son of the year that it is impossible
to obtain prompt service.
If the Gold Medal should be ready
before the reconvening of your school
in the fall, where shall we send it?
All correspondence relating to this
matter should come to the New York
Office. Sincerely,
A. N Palmer.
