UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER May 29, 1948
  Naalehu, May 29 – Mrs. Jennie Jones Lowry, a teacher since 1905 wil[l] 
retire in June from her post at Naalehu school.
  Mrs. Lowry started her teaching career in 1905 at Waiohinu school and was 
there until 1913 when she married Robert Lowry. She did not teach for six 
years but returned in 1919 to Waiohinu and resumed teaching. She continued 
until 1928 when the school was moved to Naalehu and has taught there ever 
since.
  Mrs. Lowry is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. W. C. Jones and was 
born at the present Kahuku ranch on August 5, 1883. She was educated at St. 
Andrews Priory, Kamehameha School for Girls and Honolulu high school. She 
graduated from the Territorial Normal and Training school in 1905.
  Mrs. Lowry’s success in teaching may possibly be attributed to her trust in 
children. She believed in putting them on their honor and at all times was 
able to leave the room knowing the children would carry on.
  She collected varied objects so the children could see what they were 
studying. A recent visit to the school found Mrs. Lowry disposing of her 
collection so others could carry on her idea of visual training.
  Mrs. Lowry has no definite plans but will live at present with a daughter 
Mrs. Ailene Townsend of Honolulu. She has one other daughter, Mrs. Belle 
Kahoiwai and seven grandchildren.
