Mr. Henry i lidid not realize until I got back to the Normal just how much I was, get ting from' my observation work in your School, When I was called up on to give a report, there - was so much to tell that I hardly knew where to begin. My class was espe cially interested in the location of the building. They asked many questions about the , island and surrounding mountains. After hearing the re ports of other girls, I decided that the Marshall school is far ahead of many schools that were visited. This is es pecially true in the matter of disci pline,, supervised playground, and e quipment. Once. more I wish to thank you and the teachers, for all the kindness and help I received. I hope that some day , I, may visit the school again. Sincerely, JESSIE RECTOR. RESOLUTIONS lAdoptec) By The Republican v -V l,V;Y,Haiidrick. f1, . FOR SENATOR FOR 30th DIS.
