Qttt. MISS NELLIE M. FISHER, Teacher. Miss Fisher is a graduate of two of the principal, schools of oratory in this country, namely: Columbia School of Oratory, Chicago, 111., and Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, Mass. While in Boston, Miss Fisher finished a two years course in Swedish Gymnastics at the Baroness Possi Gymnasium. She comes to us highly rec- ommended. I gladly recommend Miss Nellie M. Fisher as a teacher of elocu- tion and physical culture and as a public reader. Miss Fisher is a young woman of strong physique, good mind, sunny disposition and helpful spirit. As a teacher she is earnest, thorough, resourceful and enthusiastic; one who will win and retain the love of her pupils and the respect of her co-workers. As a reader, Miss Fisher comes before her audiences with so pleasing a personality and so much of life and certainty that she in- spires confidence before she opens her lips. Her rich, well-modulated voice and responsive body, her fine appreciation and entire naturalness, her dramatic power and her keen sense of humor make her reading a delight to all. tSignedi MARY A. BLOOD, July 11, 1903. Principal Columbia School of Oratory, C hicago, I lh'nois. ttThis is to say that an evening with Miss Fisher is perfectly delightful; a joyous remembrance. She has the soul of an orator and IS master of the art. She plays upon the strings of the heart as the masters upon their instruments of music. Everythlng 1s real? REV. D. A. ALLEN, Pastor M. E. Church, Dunlap, Iowa. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Miss Fisher last even- ing at the high school, and all present were greatly pleased Wlth the entertainment.

All that she has done as a student has been well done, and I am confident that all she does as a teacher will be well done.
