THE ORACLE. and gracious manner, won countless friends, who affectionately wish her success. F. S. B., ’02. MI88 HAWES. Coming to Watkins two years ago, Miss Julia M. Hawes has taken up with the same untiring energy and natural ability the training class work already so far advanced by Miss Feek, and carried it forward to its highest state of efficiency. Miss Hawes, who is a resident of Oakfield, N. Y., graduated from Cary Seminary, Genesee county, in 1887, and in 1890 she completed her course at Buffalo Normal School. But experience is also of as great value as college training, and Miss Hawes has had two years experience in training class work at Palmyra and also taught at North Tonawanda and Batavia. If ordinary teaching requires the years of careful training and the degree of natural ability which so few possess, to be a teacher of teachers must require even greater training and an immense amount of ability and tact. Miss Hawes has proven in the two short years she has spent among us that she possesses these qualities in the highest degree. Respect for her ability and success as a teacher, combined with an admiration for her charming personalities, could not fail to win Miss Hawes many friends and acquaintances among us, and all who know her hope that she may long continue with us and forward the work which is of such inestimable value to the school and community. M. F. R., ’02 MISS BROWN. Miss Katherine Brown has for several years held the sceptre of the seventh grade with grand success as a teacher. She received her education at Watkins High School, supplemented by one year’s professional training at Oswego Normal School, where she proved herself an apt and learned pupil. Her training was superintended by Dr. Sheldon who at that time was considered one of the best teachers in the state. She left her work there and has held a position in the grades ever since. Few teachers are confronted with the difficulties which the seventh grade presents The facts which the pupil has learned in the several grades must be consolidated and for the first time he must be prepared to face the dreaded regents’ paper. His mind requires an entire change before his arrival in the High School. Miss Brown has shown herself thorough and efficient in every respect and deserves the highest praise for her perseverance and ability. She has always been held with high esteem by her classes, and her former pupils remember her with the greatest respect. We believe the school exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of Miss Brown. .T. M. E., ’02.
