Page Three IN MEWACRIALJ by Miss Mildred Foulkes RACHEL STIX MICHAEL The Florence Nightingale of St. Louis Her particular interests were in the education of crippled children and in the field of their rehabilitation. She was a fairy godmother to the children of the Elias Michael School, named by the Board of Education in honor of her husband and as a tribute of their regard for her. Her sympathy with the handicapped and the sick was always active, and led her to help organize and carry on the Missouri Association for Occu- pational Therapy, which became a major beneficiary in her estate. As a member of the Board of Education for three terms she threw her support on the side of high standards for the public schools with constant zeal. She was a deeply religious woman, and true to the finest traditions of her inheritance. One who had the privilege of serving her closely for many years says, Regardless of the many trials that left her alone, bereft of daugh- ter and husband, she faced life unafraid, because she sought only the values that might endure. Calmly deciding that her life belonged to the community, she faced the problems of men and Women and children of every race and every creed-all who had need for her service. Modestly she asked advice, patiently she sought the truth, then with the courage 'born of unselfishness she worked with confidence that the right solution of their problems could be found. So, as you dedicate this book to her memory, may you seek to know and lend your aid to some of the com- munity needs that she labored for, you will then know the joy that will come to you from emulating a truly great soul like Rachel Stix Michael.
