School Godmother


The following item of appreciation,
written by one of the students of the
Pemfret Landing school. is printed
below -
One day this fall knock was
heard at the door of our school, the
new teacher greeted the strangers and
invited them in to visit. The strang-
ers worked charm on the little folks,
and although their words were few,
before they went, they had place in
the hearts Of every child. To be
brief. they entered as strangers and
left as friends.
Mrs. Edwin Machines and daugh-
tar Miss Dorothy were the callers.
Miss Dorothy we claim as our FAIRY
Gcdmother, never in the history OF the
school has anyone been so kind. She
offered prizes for the most progress
shown in arithmetic, a doll and base
ball glove to the lower grades and a
fash light and box of paints to the up
per grades.
It is interesting to watch the pupils
file out at O'Clock, each carrying an
arithmetic book under his arm.
Fifty books of great literary and
educational value were also added to
our library and a years subscription
to the Youths Companion.
There is something magnetic and
sweet about Miss Dorothy and the
children all love her.
We think we have Fairy God
mother. don't you!
