Sarah C. Mink (1837–1896) was a 19th-century American leader of a charitable organization who served as the 11th National President of the Woman's Relief Corps (WRC).
[1] She was first elected President of the WRC of Root Post, Syracuse, New York, circa 1884,[4] an office she filled for three consecutive years.
Resolutions were adopted advocating the introduction of patriotic teaching in U.S. public schools, a subject which was till this time ignored by educators and legislators.
It was a source of great pride and satisfaction to Mink that as National President she was the first to appoint a Committee on Patriotic Instruction, which committee represented seven States and was able during her administration to carry out in a large measure the decisions of the Convention upon this vital point.
Beneath her name is her own injunction, taken from her address to the Twelfth National Convention in recommending for their adoption the work of patriotic teaching.
