Petitions
Ryan Va. June 22nd 1925 Mr. OL Emerick Dear Sir I presented this petition to the patrons of the school and all seemed anxious that Miss Cramm should get the school. I only presented it to those who had children to attend school, they all know her and are anxious she should get the place. I only had two to refuse to sign the petition. One has a boy eight years old, the other has one eight, another Eleven. Both thought her an excellent girl and would make a good teacher but she could not handle these boys and finally acknowledged they would give any teacher trouble. We Respectfully submit this petition and hope you will see fit to act favorable on it. Respectfully /s/ Wm W Myers Text (petition) To Mr. OL Emerick, Divisional Superintendant (sic) Mrs. R.L. Mann Having resigned as teacher of Ryan School We the undersigned patrons of the Ryan School Respectfully ask that you Elect Miss Mary Cramm Teacher. Names (signed)
