Superintendent Pcaslee is one of the best
known educators in the United States. He
Is a man Of clear, executive brain, and
forceful strength Of character that pushes
through whatever he undertakes. He, too,
is of the brave, old New England stock-a
native of New Hampshire He graduated
at Dartmouth college in 1858. He was one
teacher, who though he did graduate at
law, thought better Of it and stuck to peda-
gogy. For the past eleven years he has
been superintendent Of public schools in
Cincinnati.
He it was who introduced into American
schools the celebration of authors birth
days and the learning by pupils Of rare and
beautiful passages from their works These
are called Memory Gems" and the system
is now in uss throughout the schools Of the
country.
His attention was called to the matter in
rather an odd way. Soon after becoming
superintendent of the Cincinnati schools he
asked pupil question one day which
opened up a whole vista of chaos on the sub
ject of modern English authors. Mr..
Peaslee found that while pupils in the high
school learned something about Spenser and
Chaucsr. the thousands in the grammar
schools knew absolutely nothing OF Holmes,
Whittier and Longfellow, few OF them in
deed even Of Mrs. Stowe and 'Uncle TOMS
CABIN" From that he never stopped till the
memory gem system was evolved. But the
leading object he had in view in this was to
inculcate moral instruction in the extracts
learned.
He originated for school children the
plan of planting memorial trees to au-
thors and distinguished persons. In Eden
park, Cincinnati, there is fine group Of
young trees called Authors Grove,' in
which each school has its own particular
tree. The Cincinnati plan has since been
generally adopted.
No man in America has done more than
Mr.. Peaslee to popularizs tree planting. His
pamphlet on this subject is one Of the docu-
| ments Of the United States bureau of educa-
ton. He isdirector of the Ohio state bureau
of forestry, and fills, many other places Of
honor and trrtst

Prussian war and took up the study Of
forestry under the government. He pursued
the severe course Of study and practics re-
quired by Germany. He has had rich ex-

and in America. Consequently no man in
this country is more highly qualified in this
