Show rnrnm By Dena S. Grant A most interesting contribution contribu-tion to this ser'es on Harrington School comes from Anna Bell Miller, for a number of years a dedicated teacher. Miss Miller Mil-ler sums in four words the years of devotion she gave to help shape the lives of many hundreds of children, "I loved to teach," she says. She now resides in Provo. Her teaching story in her own words: "I began my teaching career in the Harrington School in the year 1922-23. At that time the building consisted of eight rooms, plus part of the old LDS Church, or Science HtU as it was called. The south rooms of the building have always been of special interest in-terest to me, as my father, John C. Miller, did a lot of the carpentry car-pentry work, and it was there I began my teaching in the Harrington Har-rington School." "The first year at Harrington Harring-ton I had a Fourth Grade class with an enrollment of 40 child-renn child-renn "am sending the names of that class." "I remember back in those good old days, parents visited the school often. It seemed they felt so free and welcome to visit school at any time of the day. Sometimes their visits were only for a few minutes and sometimes half a day and sometimes all day long. They were interested in the welfare of their children. Seldom a week went by without visitors. "Then there came a time known as Parents' Day, when all the parents came to visit on the same day, and they lined up around the room and observed the teacher at work. This always frightened me. "Another thing I remember wer9 the salesmen. Teachers were always bothered with people peo-ple selling books, cards, lace, magazines, etc. If a salesman ever landed in town he always found the schoolhouse. "During my teaching at Harrington Har-rington School, I taught 1,225 children in my homeroom classes class-es and hundreds more from classes of other teachers.

In receiving the award, Mrs. Emal was cited for having "instilled "in-stilled in each child something which will make them better adults for the future." She has a strong conviction that teaching -and the education of all the people peo-ple under a free system is the only hope for the people. As "Teacher of the Day," Mrs. Emal received a dinner i or two, theatre tickets, a box of chocolates choc-olates and a framed certificate. Mrs. Emal began teaching 22 years ago. After taking time off for her family, she resumed her career ten years ago. She has taught at the Harrington School for the past four years. Her husband, Robert J. Emal, is principal of the Valley View Elementary School in Pleasant Grove. They are the parents of a daughter and three sons.

I meet them where e'.cr I go, and in every walk of life. And now they are grown. There are so many I do not know. I have taught children of children I once had in my classes.
