My family attended this movie at the Amery Theater in the mid-1950s, and I remember some of the images and scenes to this day. My mom had taught in one room schools during the Depression years, and she thought this movie would be fun for our entire family, all four of us.
Think of the strictest teacher you ever had, then add more strictness. Think of the Queen of England teaching a class and how that might turn out. Below is a description of her character and firm will among grade school kids, first through fifth grades. I’ve paraphrased the author’s words below, helping the reader get a sense of the regal Miss Dove.
On this school morning, in home-rooms the kids gauged the various moods of various teachers. When it came to Miss Dove, however, they dropped their speculation for one good reason: Miss Dove had no moods. Miss Dove was a certainty. She would be today what she had been yesterday and would be tomorrow. And so, within limits, would the students. Single file they entered her room, each greeting her with, “Good morning, Miss Dove,” and in turn she’d look directly at each and greet them with “good morning” along with their name. No informality in this classroom, and the kids would go to their appointed desks while Miss Dove stepped up on the platform that held her desk. The day’s lesson would begin.
Without giving away the story, the stoic and independent school marm develops a physical ailment which means she has to lower herself and ask for help and understanding from the community. In reading this book again, I have to say that author Patton nailed the teaching/ student dynamic. She either interviewed a number of teachers or she taught elementary school for several years.
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t seem to get anything done.
Mee Iossa, great site with the dresses. Prices are well in line with what people will pay for them, I hope you’re selling well. I wish I could write a guest blog for you, not sure what I’d write about or what you’d want me to write about. Even something with humor that would’t be about clothing.

Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on this excellent site. Some tips i would advice people is to give up this mentality that they’ll buy now and pay out later. As a society most people tend to make this happen for many factors. This includes getaways, furniture, and items we really want to have. However, you’ll want to separate one’s wants from the needs. When you are working to improve your credit rating score make some sacrifices. For example you can shop online to economize or you can go to second hand retailers instead of expensive department stores to get clothing.
