Death of Miss Nettie Sleeper
Nettie Sleeper is dead. The announcement of that sad event, last Sabbath at noon, brought sorrow into every home in Monticello, and the little children who knew her and loved her, wondered why it was, and talked of her goodness and mercy. Miss Sleeper had taught for 14 years in the primary department of the Mouticollo schools Every pupil who is now in the schools, including the high school students, except those who have entered from other spools, has been under her instruction, She was patient tender, persuasive and stimulating in the school room, with the supreme ability to impart knowledge to the little ones who were just opening their inquiring eyes upon the rudiments of learning. She gained their confidence because she gave them the sympathy of a mother, and they repaid it all by making splondid progress in their mental development. Miss Sleeper leaves the record of her good inlluence impressed on hundreds of young minds. It is a monument such as only the teacher can have, and it will endure as long as grateful hearts cherish the memory of her inlluence. Submitted by: Janet A. Brandt
