REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, October 14, 1916:

"A two-reel subject, picturing the trials of a pretty young schoolteacher in a small town. The effort of the jealous school board president to fix a scandal upon her, by means of a fake photograph, makes an interesting situation. The closing scenes, where the young engineer wrestles with the president near the edge of the aqueduct, have a melodramatic turn. This is well-constructed and tells an entertaining story."
