River Falls, Wis.

Dear Sir: :
I haye received from time to time
the circular letters and bulletins
sent out to the graduates and
friends of the River Falls Normal
school. | want you to know how
pleased am that you have,ny name
on your mailing list. The news
from the Alma Mater lis received
with the same pleasure that letter
from home gives. | assure you that
| shall never cease to- be interested
in the welfare of our school, for the
training that / received there has
been invaluable to me, not only as a
teacher in the homeland, but even
more SO since / became head of a
school in darkest Africa. | often
wonder what | would have done
with those dormant minds without
my Normal school training. Here
want to pay tribute to the. memory
of Miss Shultes-for it was her per-
sonal influence that helped to direct
my course into the right channel.
With best wishes for increasing
success, am,
Sincerely.
Esther Martin Caldwell.
