Hint Aria, Elnmtinn, QDratnry, Erlaartp, Err. MISS EDITH A. NICKERSON Miss Nickerson is a post graduate of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, Mass, and has at various times acted as substitute teacher in that school; and has also been for one year teacher of expression, physical culture and extemporaneous speaking in the Bread Winners Col- lege of Boston. Miss Nickerson, one of our very best students, is a young woman of such hne character and characteristics that it is difticult to begin writing a recommendation for her. I do not think I have ever had a student who showed more growth in her work along the various lines in which she is efficient. She has a breadth of character and a loftiness of spiritual nature which are very rare and, as a teacher, she is com- manding, forceful and popular. She has, during her first graduate year, been teaching for me, and her work deserves special commendation. As a reader, Miss Nickerson never fails to win her audience, and she gives good literature in such a way as to render it popular. Altogether I can not recommend her over-highly. iSignedi HENRY L. SOUTHWICK. Dean Emerson College of Oratory, BostOn, iMass. Miss Nickersonk readings are well chosen and given with good effect, whether in comedy or tragedy. She has a good stage presence and makes an excellent impression upon her audience. I feel sure she will succeed in her chosen profession. .
