“Miss Mary Gulledge is sick and has been taken to the hospital,” was the news which coursed through the city school grades yesterday morning.
Some days ago, Miss Gulledge sprained her ankle. She has not been well, but her indomitable will and energy have kept her at work when she was not able.
Mary Gulledge is one of the best teachers and superintendents in the state today in grammar school work. She has never known what it is to take a rest. Day school, Sunday school, church—everywhere—she is in demand, and her response is always ready and cheerful. Vacations are spent in work, and those who know this very beloved teacher and young woman doubt if she has ever taken a real holiday.
Even when carried to the local hospital, she could not give up until she realized she had to. The night before, she weas getting in touch near the mid-night hour with her work and other departments.
Friends hope for the best. But they also hope that Miss Gulledge will surrender herself at this time to a needed rest and treatment, for she has friends who love her and feel a deep concern over her recovery.
