A UNIQUE RECORD
LONG SERVICE IN ONE SCHOOL What must be a unique record in the teaching service can be credited to Miss M? E. O’Donnell, infant mistress at the Terrace End School, Palmerston North who is shortly to retire from the service. On March 20, 1899, Miss O’Donnell was appointed pupil-teaehcr at the Terrace End School, having previously been a pupil of, that institution. Her connection with it thus extends over some 47 years, 37 which have been spent as a teacher at the school. Miss O’Donnell when appointed a pupil-teac'aer was allotted to the infants, it being considered in the “bad old days” that the teacher with the least experience was good enough for the little ones. Later promotion followed wflien she was appointed assistant teacher in the infant school and later, when the position of infant mistress was created, Miss O’Donnell was appointed to that position, her whole 37 vears of teaching service being spent'in teaching the infants, and that, in one school.
