From a letter from Rudolf Steiner to Marie Steiner, Dornach, March 23, 1925

M. l. M. I really cannot express to you how much I admire your devoted work and how grateful I am to you for everything you do that is so beneficial. The fact that you are also taking care of the school is particularly significant. For now that they cannot see me, the children need inspiration. And above all, you are bringing art into the school, an element that it so badly needs.

From a letter from Marie Steiner to Rudolf Steiner, Stuttgart, March 25, 1925

The children at the school are said to have been delighted by the performance. All sorts of wonderful things are being said about it.
