When Miss Bessie died in 1980, at age 85, hundreds of her former students mourned. They knew the measure of a great teacher, love and motivation. Her wisdom and influence had spread across generations.
貝茜老師1980年去世，享年85歲。她生前的很多學生都來哀悼她。從她那里他們知道了一個好老師的標準，那就是愛和激勵。她的智慧和影響延續至幾代人。
Some of her students who might normally have been doomed to poverty went on to become doctors, dentists and college professors. Many, guided by Miss Bessie's example, became public- school teachers.
她的一些學生，原本也許注定窮苦一生，但后來成了醫師、牙醫和大學教授。還有很多人受貝茜老師的影響成了公立學校的老師。
"The memory of Miss Bessie and how she conducted her classroom did more for me than anything I learned in college," recalls Gladys Wood of Knoxville, Tenn., a highly respected English teacher who spent 43 years in the state's school system. "So many times, when I faced a difficult classroom problem, I asked myself, How would Miss Bessie deal with this? And I'd remember that she would handle it with laughter and love."
“對貝茜老師以及對她的授課方式的記憶比在大學學到的任何東西都更有幫助。很多次當我在課堂上遇到麻煩時，我會問自己，貝茜老師會怎樣解決？我就記起她都是用笑聲和關愛來解決這些問題的，”格拉迪斯·伍德回憶道。她來自田納西州諾克斯維爾市，是一名非常受人尊敬的英語老師，已從教43年。
No child can get all the necessary support at home, and millions of poor children get no support at all. This is what makes a wise, educated, warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so vital to the minds, hearts and souls of this country's children.
沒有孩子能夠在家里得到所有必要的支持，而數百萬貧窮家庭的孩子從家里根本得不到任何支持。正因為如此，像貝茜老師這樣聰明、有學識、充滿愛心的老師對我國孩子智力和心靈的發展就顯得尤為重要。
