The Flora Patsy Hall\u00a0correspondence <\/span>is voluminous, as is sometimes the case when students have many years at the school and many succeeding years in which they are active in School affairs, for example as Patsy was in the Alumni Association. Flora Patsy Hall’s record as a student, is, however, unusually large. It contains one of the later and more documented and extensive records of growth as a student at the school. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the later years of the Boarding School, Glyn Morris and his staff became more and more intent on documenting the progress of students. One reason was Morris’ belief that these records were critical to the educational progress of the student.\u00a0 But, the other important reason was that students were not graded in the standard manner and in order for records to transfer for additional educational purposes, the “in-house” record keeping had to be comprehensive to satisfy transfer of credits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of particular interest are the “Letters Home” in which students in the later years of the boarding school were obligated to report to parents on the progress they were making at the school and the reports were then validated by means of the narrative teacher “record” — the recording of each year of work by her teachers, supervisors,\u00a0and housemothers. The student “Letters Home” and Evaluations are unique insights into the educational experience and processes at Pine Mountain Settlement School as instituted by Glyn Morris,\u00a0<\/span>during his tenure as\u00a0<\/span>the Director.<\/span><\/p>\n

As in many of the student biographies, some of Patsy’s academic records (testing, for example) have not been included in the Correspondence page in order to retain privacy.\u00a0 Flora Patsy Hall is now in her early 90’s and has given permission to publish most of her school record and correspondence in this online archive of student records and the additional records may be viewed on request.<\/p>\n
