‎Girls School Surviving WW II Blitzkrieg‎

‎Mother Superior of a Girls' School Describes Living through the Blitzkrieg "We have had some bombs unpleasantly near." 1940‎

‎1940. Edith Mary's Head Teacher and Mother Superior of a Girls' School Describes Living through the Blitzkrieg. Autograph letter signed Dec. 22 1940. Letterhead of Ascot Priory Ascot Berks. Berkshire England To Mr. William Nourse. The Mother Superior writes this missive on living through the Blitz with a school of girls under her care.<br /> <br /> ".I appreciate the kindness of our friends more than ever this year for I know how much financially hit everyone is. I do hope you will have as happy a Christmas is possible Xmas 1941 bring us peace! We have had some bombs unpleasantly near but lately I am glad to say the nights have been much quieter." The Blitzkrieg lasted from September 1940 to May 1941 during which time bombs flown in by the Luftwaffe rained down on London and its environs. Ascot Priory in the pristine Berkshires 60 miles from London was apparently not immune from the devastation. However Sister Edith responds with monastic calm. The Congregation of Religious of the Society of the Most Holy Trinity was founded in 1856 as a sisterhood of nuns dedicated primarily to nursing the sick who could not find treatment in London. They also cared for orphans. In 1933 a girls secondary school was added to the priory and named St Augustine's School. There were about 136 boarders and day girls until it closed operations in 1965. Sister Edith who wrote this letter was fondly remembered by pupils as a PE teacher and by the time of the Blitz as Reverend Mother. unknown‎

‎Girls School Manchester‎

‎A Young Woman Teacher of Exceptional Talent Put Forward as Headmistress of the new Girls School in 1873‎

‎Edward Freeman. Autograph Letter Signed. April 2 1873 Somerleaze Wells Somerset England. 4 pages on a single sheet folded. To "My Dear Lord" possibly a Bishop About a teacher who is too talented to be a governess whose name he puts forward as a candidate for headmistress of a new girls' school.<br/><br/>Stating in part "I see your name as a "Patron of the new Girls School to be set up at Manchester." I do not know whether that word is to be taken in the ecclesiastical sense as employing that you have a voice in disposing of offices in it. If so I would venture to recommend a candidate for the place of Head Mistress which I hear that the Committee are going about to fill one whom I am sure you will find it a great gain to put at the head of the new institution. This is Miss Macarthur who has been governess in my house for nearly five years and who is just now leaving us because all my daughters are now grown up. She is in correspondence with Miss Vernon to whom Mrs. Kitchener first spoke of her and she has asked me to say what I can for her to any of the Committee. I think the best witness of my opinion of her is that I have set her to write one of my series of small histories a History of Scotland which I hope will soon be out. She is a woman of powers far above the common and I can witness that she has practiced them well in the only two departments of which I am able to judge namely those of History and language. She is really strong in both; for though she does not actually understand Latin and Greek she knows all about them their relation to French English etc. I am sure she would do credit to the place. We are most anxious to find some post for her more independent than that of a private governess."<br/><br/>Unfortunately Miss Macarthur was not appointed; there being far better qualified candidates competing for this sought after position. She was Margaret A.R. Macarthur born in Scotland in 1842 and was the author of 'History of Scotland' in Freeman's Historical Course for Schools. It would be interesting to find out what happened to her. In fine condition. unknown books‎
