An advertisement is sent to the county papers and the next day a half dozen would-be teachers are on hand. Mrs. Jenkins, president of the board, cautions the other two members of their promise to select the homeliest one, a difficult matter to say the least. In the end two gentlemen directors insist upon employing pretty Elizabeth Brown. Henry Snow, younger member of the boars is visibly much impressed by the new teacher. He accompanies her to Mrs. Jenkins' home, where Miss Brown is to board and asks permission to call. The request is blushingly accepted, but young Snow has not figured on Eva Jenkins, a girl of fifteen, who, despite her tender years, is very much in love with the young school director. In her efforts to make her way clear with Henry, Eva writes an anonymous note to Miss Brown, informing her that Mr. Snow selected her because he thought she was the homeliest one. Serious complications follow, until Eva's little brother confides to Snow, that it was Eva who wrote the letter. The unhappy circumstances have brought the young teacher and her beau more closely together and they resolve to go to the city immediately and be married. They had barely left the house when Mrs. Jenkins discovers the note left by Miss Brown and young Snow, informing her of their intentions. Eva is justly humiliated, but has learned a valuable lesson which she is not likely to forget. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
