Prof. D. D. Pickett has determined to retire
from the active field of labor in which he has
| been engaged for SO many years, and will not
be candidate for reelection to the Superin-
| tendancy of the Ravenna schools. He will sever
his official relations with the Board and city
| and bid farewell to Ravenna at the expiration
| of the present school year next June.
| Prof. Pickett has been identified with our
schools in his present capacity for 25 years with
little interruption, the last 16 years having been
| of continuous service. Nothing further could
be added to such evidence of satisfactory SER
vices, or any hi igher compliment bestowed on
his abilities and faithful record. Our citizens
| will hear with extreme regret of his eontem-
plated departure and will remember with ap-
probation his efficiency and scholarly attain
ments that SO admirably fitted him for his
position. During his long term of office. his
| labors toward elevating the standard of our
| schools have been crowned with abundant sue
cess, and many are the minds whose acquire
ments in the advanced fields of thought date
their origin to instructions received in his class
| rooms. He will make his future residence at
Columbus, Neb.. where his wife and son are
now living.
