Garner writes, "I much regret that you should find it necessary to defend Beacon Hill School, but since the necessity has arisen I am more than willing to offer my testimony." "As you know, I have visited the school often during the last four terms and have thus had plenty of opportunities to become personally acquainted with you and every member of the staff, as well as many of the children. My opinion is that the children are happy, active, enthusiastic and on the best of terms with the staff and one another."
