OF EDUCATION I 7 



Dr. Hinds has seen more of t^e high school than 

 any other member of the board, and has evidently 

 comprehended the " situation." 



Before closing I wish to express my thanks to a 

 very few of my indulgent neighbors for the great 

 kindness they showed me in allowing me to say a few 

 words at the annual meeting. I thank them partic- 

 ularly, because they did not interrupt me any oftener. 

 That act of courtesy and consideration saved me, at 

 least, ten dollars that I otherwise must have paid for 

 printing those facts, which some men were evidently 

 afraid to hear.
