the people received their education at
'sthe school house at the cross roads," yet
our system needs the aid of the high and
graded schools to make it compile, and
the care and pride with which such
schools have been fostered here, shows
your appreciation.
In concluding this, my final report as
superintendent, wish to say, that if I
have been able to accomplish anything of
benefit to the educational interests of the
county, it has been mainly accomplished
by your excellent teachers, and to their
counsel, advice, sympathy and cordial CO..
operation should the credit be given, and
for which / return my thanks. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
