Margaret Berry & Elizabeth LargePrint Page 
The Brisbane Normal School has for many years been a most popular institution with all classes of parents. On Monday afternoon we paid a visit to the girls' department, which is under the charge of Miss Berry. The name of the head-mistress, Miss Berry, has become, after some thirteen years occupation of the post of teacher in Queensland, a household word in many families where young matrons have passed under her care, and hold her in affectionate remembrance.
The Queenslander (Brisbane), 26 September 1874.
