Under the direction of Miss Mar,
Patrick Barton has had a teaches
training class In the past two years
excelled by none in the state, bu

trustees brought out the fact tina
Miss Patrick's superior ability wa.
clearly needed IN a larger field, ant

discontinue the class altogether. Tbs
removal of Miss Patrick and hel
mother from our midst causes greaf
regret but all will rejoice that sh'
goes to a much larger place where {
larger class viii come under her di
rection and receive from her the IN
SEPARATION and help so necessary for I
Z teacher, and which Miss Patrick il
I'll b. -. 3 -
pupils so forcibly.
