A timid young girl, she was a little terrified of her first school superintendent (she has had 13 others as her superiors since then) when first he came to call. He greeted her with a "How are you making It, little girl?" and went on to say he'd take her class for the rest of the day It - was all a Jest, of course, but it made the retiscent' young teacher feel at once that the superintendent was interested in her and as human as anyone else. She's never stopped pursuing knowledge for a moment. Tremen dously well read In the adult neio, she also knows the newest and the finest in children's books. Just this past year her pet project has been the acquisition of a Garfield li brary . . . the books have been ' bought from the proceeds oi paper drives conducted by the children. Good pictures fill the rooms of the Garfield school. They were chosen by Miss Cosper and hung in each room. Three charming pieces of marble statuary are placed In the large hall. These, too, were chosen : by the educator. During the summer months sns has made an effort to study at var- ious institutions of higher learning . . at Chicago, Long Beach, Berk eley and Boston. Then the summer abroad was another mgn point in her life. With Miss Monroe, renown ed Oregon author, she visited the capitals of Europe, absorbing the love of good pictures ana tne His torical Interest which comes with travel. Besides her studying and keeping abreast with the times She has serv ed on education boards including 13 years under Governors Oswald West, James Wlthycombe and Ben Olcott . on the state text book commission; treasurer of the State Teachers' as sociation for lour years; secretary of the county teachers', association and on the state examining board. With Miss Cornelia Marvin, now Mis. Walter M, Pierce, wife of Congress man Pierce, she worked In the state library during the summer months, When the school bell rings foi the last time In June. Miss Cosper will have a full schedule as usual. She'll miss the children, the ever-changing parade of them, and the Garfield faculty, of course but then, as she says, there's so much she's not had lime to do. "Why, there are all tne books I've been meaning to read and the people I've wanted to see but I don't think I'll take up con tract!"
