men who had done considerable toward in
Producing into this city the best school sys-

condition of the public schools would go on
from better to best. A few words were also
done much toward educating the youth to
loyalty and the principles that upheld the
sanetity of the public ballet. ITO him that
is going," he concluded, land to him that is
coming and those that follow L say God

Professor Anderson. being called upon,
wiped tears from his eyes, and in low
voice, almost choked with emotion, made
brief address, in which he alluded to the
kindness he had received at the hands of
his conterres in this city in the educational
cause. He also told Of the efforts of his sue
cessor in promoting the interests of tho pub
lie schools, and feellngly thanked those pres
ent for the honor accorded him.
Mr.. SWEET also had few words of thanks
to say for the cordial reception. In paying
his respects to certain Board of Educa-
ton, which caused his retirement as Prlnci-
pal of the Girls High School Two years ago,
he said: 1.-The word OF honest men is law.
The lives of honest men are longer than
those of politicians and their bad deeds"
He promised 10 follow faithfully in the foot
steps of the good example set by Professor
Anderson.
