Miss Fannie KURTH Receives a Handsome Testimonial from her Associates in
Public School No. 3.

   Public School No. 3, Bedford avenue, yesterday afternoon was the
scene of an exceedingly pleasant affair gotten up in honor of Miss
Fannie KURTH, one of the graduates of the Class of '82, when that young
lady was presented with an elegant ebony music stand in recognition of
the valuable service she has rendered the school by playing the piano as
an accompaniment to the daily singing and on every other occasion when
the school needed a pianist. There were present Mr. Eugene D. BERRI,
Chairman of the Local Committee; Mr. B. Y. CONKLIN, Principal of the
school and a good representation of teachers and scholars.
   Mr. CONKLIN said it was not often that we meet with anyone who will
continually and faithfully labor for the benefit of others without the
hope of fee or reward. But we have such a one with us now. The young
lady he referred to was Miss Fannie KURTH, who for nine years had been a
pupil of No. 3 and had never missed a day except through sickness. She
had ever been ready to assist the school; her great industry and success
had been an incentive to others and she had always proved herself a
model pupil. Her piano playing had been of unspeakable value to the
school and in recognition of her services, Mr. CONKLIN tendered her this
gift (pointing to the music stand); it was from the whole school, for
every class had interested itself in the matter. Miss KURTH was deeply
affected and retired amid the congratulations of the company.
