Card of Thanks to Dalton Schools Supporters
I thank the many friends who aided me through The Pointer in building the Dalton Schools to their present standard of efficiency. I hope they will give loyal support to my successor. A large part of a teacher's remuneration lies in appreciation from those who value friendship and know me to be loyal. Though I have severed my connection with the schools, the bonds of friendship formed during my long residence in Dalton can never be broken.
