matter Of pride to the people OF our city
to know that he leaves Parker with oul
school rated third best in the state
When Professor Abbott came here fiv,

country district condition, but by hi
energy and ability, backed by praetiea
men as school directors and with abl
assistants, he has made the Parke
school, as it is now rated, the third bes
in the state. As an educator he rank
high, deyoting, as he does, his entire en-
ergy to his chosen profession. Rapit
