Letter from National Education Bureau, Harrisburg, to Reform School of Western 
Pennsylvania, Morganza, Pa.: I desire to call your attention to the application 
of Miss Mary J. Gray, Harrisburg, who desires to secure an appointment in your 
institution and who is a first-class young woman for such a position.
     She is 30 years of age, five feet, six inches tall, and weighs about 150 
pounds.  She is a state normal school graduate and has had ten years experience 
in teaching, in ungraded schools in Perry County.  Last summer a year ago she 
accepted a vacation appointment in the Insane Asylum, located in this city, and 
as the work was more remunerative than her teaching, owing to the continuous 
employment, she has remained in the employment of the asylum ever since.  She 
is therefore acquainted with institutional work and has a preference for 
Reformatory work rather than the kind of work that she is engaged in at 
present.  She is strong and robust, well-balanced, mentally and socially, and 
is a first-class disciplinarian. (signed) Robert L. Myers)

the vacancy here finely.
