This is a framed retirement certificate presented to a Miss Bruce, Headmistress, by the Dunlop School Board, dated June 6, 1899. The documen, written in very legible script, praises this well loved teacher who resigned due to ill health. It was presented to her by the local school board, representing the community, and is effusive with praise of her devotion to students and skill as a teacher. It is richly decorated with intricate, multi-colored floral illustrations in the margin and mounted in a gold-toned wooden frame. We do not know the particulars of the Dunlop school, but the inscription at the bottom appears to be that of the printer or peson responsible for the creation of the commendation, C.H. Mailer with the place as Blairgowrie, which is in Scotland.
