To the Editor of The Courant:-

To the Editor of The Courant:-
The late Miss Malvina Howe of
Thompson was so long associated with
the high school of this city and with
Miss Porter's School in Pennington,
that a few words of appreciation are
due to her and to many friends and
admirers here. Miss Howe was wo-
man of such rare qualities in mind
and heart, of such eminence as teach
er, and of such remarkable personality
that she takes rank among the great
educators. She died at the very
height of her power, in the midst OF
her work, her new and very successful
school left in capable hands, honored
in the whole community. Many rise
up to call her blessed; loving memories
attend her. rich seeds sown in many
hearts and minds yet to blossom.
Any needless praise is rebuked sin
the plain presence of her dignity" for
Miss Howe had an unusual blending
of humility and dignity. She knew
the self worth God gave her; she wore
it with a queenIy dignity; and yet the
very essence of humility was hers also,
for humility is not self-abnegation, but
self-devotement. All she was, all she
aspired to be, all she knew was hers
as a life conquest she carried with
quiet poise that she might give it all
away to others.
In her, too, was rare blending OF
strong mentality and deep womanly
sentiment. There was strength, as
well as sweetness, in her life. Gifted.
in the learning of the schools, lmistress
of at least two modern literatures, with
high artistic tastes, keen interest in
trends of thought, and practical prob
lens of the larger world; yet il was
ever the womanly woman you felt in
her, the tender-hearted sympathy OF
one who inspired affection and conf
denee. In Sir Philip Sydney's words
she had "high thoughts seated in
heart Of courtesy such a eombina-
ton made her a wonderful teacher, as
multitudes can testify. But 1t was tue
personality back of the teacher which
explains her impress and which mace
her the companion, the counsellor, the
eontidant and the friend. In this res
pect Miss Howe recalls the great wom-
an, Miss Porter of Pennington, with
whom she was associated so long, and
to whom and to whose school she was
so loyal through the years.
She had, indeed, the true wealth OF
life; the underlying influence, the per-
ennial Towering in other lives OF the
noble womanhood she had helped 10
make. She was rich in the friendship
she gave and SO received, through ner
long years of beautiful example ano
personal touch.
Oyerarching all her gifts OF MIND
and heart was deep religious iailn,
