ftefcMSjfclAL SERVICE HERE
FOR BELOVED TEACHER
Service In Memory of Miss Constance
Cline H«M by Central School Par
ent-Tea«iWn /Association.
Many of the world’s greatest treas
ures cannot be bought with gold.
They are beyond all price, and, yet,
they may be owned by the lowly of
earth as well as the high, the pauper
as well as tbe prince. Solomon, the
wise Hebrew King, said “A good
name is better to be chosen than great
riches.’’ True Wisdom is another
priceless gift the Creator, which the
richest price cannot buy. But the
greatest treasure is Love. Love is a
wonderful'gift that must be won, by
giving love without thought of return,
by faithful devoted service to one’s
fellowman with - no selfikh thought
behind it.
That Miss Constance Cline, whose
recent passing cast sncli profound
grief over our city, possessed the de
voted love of many of her townspeo- '
pie, was evidenced by the many fit
ting tributes paid to her life and work
at a beautiful memorial service held
by the Central Parent-Teachers’ As
sociation Tuesday afternoon. Other
similar organizations were invited to
join with them in thus honoring the
memory of one, who, for many years,
gave herself—her best—to the training
of the young people of our city. ,
It was truly a sweet and touching
service. After a brief introduction
■fly tbe President, Mrs. N. A. Arehi- 1
bald, the program wns placed in
charge of Prof. A. S. Webb, who, for
twelve years, was closely associated
with Miss Cline as a school official,
and who perhaps knew her better than
any of the others taking part in the
program. He (Called upon several
teachers who had worked With Miss
Cline to pay tribute to the noble life
that hns just,been finished.
Miss Elizabeth Black spoke briefly 1
but her words were particularly apt !
and seenied to be spoken from the
depths of a loving heart; ■
“A great soul like ‘Miss Connie’s'' 1
Is above anything that my words can
express. I think, the world is better
because she passed through it. To me,
that is enough for any life to accomp
lish. She lives m my heart, and al
ways will live there, because she lov
ede and served.”
The following excerptH are taken
from a longer- tribute paid by Mrs.
Paris Kidd;
'“Since the passing ,-if our dear
‘Miss Connie’ many fitting tributes
have been i>aid to the beauty and no
bility of her character, yet all that
could bo snid in praise of her would i
not be enough. As for me, my com
mand of the language seems entirely
inadequate to express just what, it
has menat to me to have known her,
to have worked yvith her and to lug
loved her * * I cannot tell how deep
ly grieved I am because of her loss.
Jtat'vl -art, comforted to think that
' has gone to a far happier place,
where sorrow and pain can never
come, where she will never be tired i
or sick any more—the place of eter- j
nal rest and happiness • * She had
the great soul, the broad mind, as well
as the commanding presence, and the
winning personality which go into the
making of a truly great teacher and
splendid woman. * * No one can know
until the last day when the ‘Master of
j all Good Workmen’ shall tell what
has been the influence of her beauti
ful life on those with whom she came
■ in contact, or the many pupils she
lias taught, and upon those of us who
worked with tier.”
Miss Ruth Dry, principal of Cen
tral Grammar School, who, from her
early childhood, had known Miss Cline
and was closely associated with her,
spoke thus of her:
“To me, ‘Misa Connie’ always stood ;
, as the very highest type of woman- j
hood. I have been associated with her
in the home, in the school, and in the
Church, and I found that she was
one who gave her best, regardless of
cost. Xo one can estimate the influ
ence she had here in our city. She
won the love and respect of those that
came in contact with her. She was
truly Concord’s example of a lovable
woman. For we nre here to. love and
to be loved, to give and not to get, to
serve and not to be served.”
. Though Miss Alma Goode had work
ed with Miss dine but a few months,
her remarks showed that she too had
fallen under the spell of the great
teacher’s charming personality-:
j “In my daily association with Miss
Cline, I found her to be the nearest
1 ideal I’ve ever known. Her person
ality, which was not made in a day-,
gave evidence of the life she lived,
hnd it won those who came in Contact
with her. To me, it seemed she could
always say and do the right thing at
, the right time. Her influence is felt
here in our schools, and will continue
* to live.”
Miss Janie Klutz, who hud also
worked several years with Miss Cline,
and loved her as a personal fl-iend,
paid tribute to her. As Miss Klutz
was inadvertently omitted from the
1 program I shall quote her remarks in
j their entirety;
“There is nothing I can add>about
the life of Miss Cline except to re
peat those things which have already
been said by others here and In other
places. We all knew her; we all hon
ored and lover her. Her life speaks
for itself. It was a shining light
, whose rays have given light to all with,
whom she came in contact. Someone
has said that we are a part of all we i
have met, and I’m sure we are all a
part of 'Miss Connie.’ She has con
tributed something -tb each of us
which will never be lost, no matter
what may happen to us.
“She ulways-gave-us the feeling that
we were working with her, not under
• her. She had the beautiful ability to
I cud others in such away that one
| wanted to do what she suggested,\al-
I most unconscious that tbe suggestion
I bad ceUie from her. . I say, with all
1 reverent?, that Miss Connie's syinjia
-2 tbs and understanding was Christlfke.
i “There is one picture I shall always
1 carry with me as long as I live. Up
-5 an tetiirniug to school after the noon
I recess, when 1 stepped Into the door,
j I always saw her by the \>iano, hav-
I in* just finished her lunch. She al
ways welcomed me with a smile, of
ten saying, ‘Come here, Janie Klutz,
and tell me all about everything.’ Then
would follow a lovely chat with her.
It was here that I learned to know
her better than at any other time.”
Mr. Webb, himself, who knew her
best, made the longest address, in a
voice husky withjemotion. A part of
it is quoted below:
“We know that people dre born
artiste, born musicians, or borfi for
certain other yvork in the world. There
is no question in my mind but that
our Heavenly Father intended Miss
Cline for just what she was—a born
teacher. She loved mmost of all her
work—to teach boys and girls. Sbe
was endowed with a charming 'person
ality, and had away that forever won
throve and respect of those with
whom she Worked. • * * She was nev
er known to be out of patience. She
always, did everything jo the best of
her ability. Because of her unfailing
confidence and self control, she won
the respect of the boys anil girls of
her rooms. They always found that
Misa Connie knew from a personal
standpoint. We spent many hours
,here on the platform talking, and I’m
sure I knew her as well as anybody
and I/never had a better friend.
To her home, the church, and the
school, she absolutely gave her best.
I never knew her one time to favor
herself. The one outstanding charac
teristic of her was her fidelity to her
work. Nobbdy can estimate the
amount of work she did in this build
ing, 'the influence she had. or the debt
of gratitude I owe to her for the work
she 'slid in helping our schools. She
loved her people, she loved her school,
she loved her work, she loved her
church, her home and her city. Our
Savior said, ‘By their fruits y'e shall
know them,’ and by the fruits of her
life, we know where she is.”
Archibald Cannon, Jr., representing
the boys that from time to time had
been under Miss Connie’s instruction,
next spoke thus:
“I had the pleasure of being in Miss
Connie’s room in the seventh grade,
and I can say, with all truth, that she
was the most Wonderful teacher I _>v
er had. She had great intr-rest in
boys and they felt very close to her.

We would not hesitate to bring up.
most any topic to her. Wher. we ask
ed advice, she always gave it and we
took it. Miss Connie was never quick
to decide or punish before she found
out the facts. Her lessons were of the
most interesting , type. She did not
have any of those ‘boring’ lessons,
but always made them interesting ro
us. She would bring up and discuss
topics outside our textbooks.”
Representing the mothers whose
children Miss Cline had taught, Mrs.
. D. Pemberton next-made a iwauti
Lil i ddress, excerpts from which are
quo! ed below:
“It is a privilege to reni-e.,„r.t (lie
mothers of Concord and bring our
tribute to lay at tbe feat of one so
widely known and so greatly beloved
as was Miss Connie Cline. Her beau
toful life leaves an influence which is
an abiding power for good in the ivoi
of many men, women, boys rod girls
of today. I oan truthfully say that
she was a most efficient teacher, with
the ability to inspire her boys and
girls with a desire to strive for the
things that are worth while. Pdssi
bly her greatest work was in character
building. The children were with her
through a trying period, the beginning
of the ‘teen’ age. and right well did
she build, taking as she did, the teach
ings of Christ for her foundation. My
personal experience proves to me that
the boys and girls came from her
room better prepared to meet and con
quer temptation. * * Miss Cline's
influence will live on, for there are
many today who are better citizens
because of her careful training; many
who honor her and rise up to call her
blessed.”
Mrs. Pemberton closed her remarks
with a lovely and appropriate poem
entitled “End of the Day.”
Two beautiful musical selections
added to the program. Miss Elizabeth
Woodhouse and Mrs. Nan Pickard
sang a duet, “The Lights of Home,”
and Miss Woodhouse sang a lovely so
lo entitled “Shadows.” Mrs. J. F.
Reed played a most sympathetic ac
companiment.
The following resolutions of respect
was read by the secretary, and adopt
ed :
