I )nring those ' ears she wcin for herself a splendid scholastic stanilint; and has left a l.islint; impression in the school. .Since her Mar I ' .aldwin da s, Miss |arvis has taken part in v.ai ' ions activities and has formed for herself a place in her l ' hil;idel])hia li jme. Her most impoitanl title is (jne thai we may well revere, for .Miss . nna Jai ' is is the fonnder of .Mother ' s Day. I ' .y lier love and de (ilion for her own mother, she has honcjred not liei ' alone, lull all mothers every- where. .She is now at the head of a Ahither ' s I ' ay International Association. This International .Mother ' s Day has heen a livin.i; interest lor perscjns of ever ' land, class, and creed that honor motherhood. Mother ' s Day is a constrnctive movement of practical henetil and patriotism that repre- sents the home as the highest inspiration of our individual and national life. When on Mother ' s Day, the second .Sunday in May, we see the white carna- tion- the Mother ' s Day Kmhlem, the Mother ' s Day Itadge. the Mother ' s Day Hag, n - hear the slogan — The Mother of Your Heart, let us think with gratitude of the f(junder (jf this day. Miss Jarvis has inaugurated a great movement that sounds an echo in each heart. Her object is to inspire deeper responsibilit) ' toward the home, and a more profound appreciation of the greatest of God ' s gifts — Mother. Miss Jarvis may have gleaned an idea from the great sages of the far East, who value filial piety above all other attributes. However this may be, she has thought out and de- veloped the idea in an entirely original and beautiful expression of love and de- votion. All, no doulit, have felt the desire but failed to find an appropriate form of expression for the emotion stimulated by the love and self sacrifice of mothers, Therefore, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Miss Jarvis, and are proud to claim her as a Mary Baldwin girl. .Sju- has expres.sed her ap]ireciation of an invitation to he w ith us at our l ' ' 2(S Comniencemenl. I ' .nt she sa s. I ver nuich regret that 1 cannot he with vou all foi some of your amui.al events, and as yom ' honored guest, hut personal aff.airs in ] ' liiladel|)hia make it impossible for me to be with you. Miss Anna Jarvis sends her love to all Mary Baldwin girls. ) • V
