1892 MAUD ADELE LAWSON . 1928 Three years ago, the position of Librarian was created in our School, and, in recognition of her special aptitude for such work, Miss Lawson was asked to fill it. How jealously she guarded the treasures entrusted to her care, that all might benefit by them! That a book should be lost or mutilated seemed a real calamity lo her; and, thanks to her vigilance, such accidents became very rare. To arouse interest in pupils little given to reading, she bought illustrated maga- zines on home-making and machinery; newspaper clippings, pictures of public men, postal cards, challenged their attention. There were always flowers on the reading lable, and on her desk. Her aim was to make the library a vital factor in the life of the School, and one had only to stop at her door to realize how fully she accomplished that purpose. Patient and sympathetic, she gave kindly welcome to everyone who looked for information; she did not tell him facts, she taught him how to find them for himself; and placed at his disposal every benefit she had ever enjoyed in broad culture and extensive travel in the United States and foreign countries. So, day by day, giving herself generously to her work, she found in it her greatest joy and inspiration. Then, quite suddenly, after a very short illness, she died. Her work with us, and her life, singularly happy and rich in accomplishment, had come to an end. The School has lost a loyal friend, but she has left to it a cherished memory of loving service, and countless evidences of that infinitely fine thing which men call “character.” Page 9
