 Built Character
 Perhaps her greatest contribution as teacher of Bristol's girls and boys was her constant cndeavor to instif in the hearts and minds of her pupils that strength and beauty ot character which represent the true aim Of education. Without il, academic knowledge and attainment fail; with it,-even though academic attainment may not have been ac- quired to its iuN.-neVerthcless there still reuains deep content ment and satisfaction in the knoWl- edge that one may achieve success in living without material gain. The many girls and boys who have had 2s their privilege daily school con- tact with Mrs. Beach and who have appreciated her sweet and sincere Christian character have had their lives enriched 10 a far deeper degree than that of mere academic attain mpuj.
 Coming to US as a trained loach- CT. seeking daily to inculcatc broad and fine ideals of high character; the memory Of Mrs. Beach and her splendid work will remain for q long time To her many friends who ad ; nIird her Us q successful teacher, as a builder of character and as d gentle Christian woman.
