a DESERVED HONOR.
Superintendent Davis Elected City
Superintent of Schools of Amster-
dam, NY

udIIlJ NJ L
Superintendent Charles S. Davis, who
has been at the head of our Graded
Schools for the past six years, has been
elected superintendent of schools for the
city of Amsterdam, n. Y, at an annual
salary of 81 800. His many friends in
Bennington and throughout the State
will rejoice at his deserved promotion.
Amsterdam is a town of some 10000 in
habitants and is one of, the hustling
towns of the Empire State. 1t has eight
or nine modern school buildings in which
the ward schools are kept, each under
it's own principal, and the city superin-
tendent has general management and SUI
pervsi0n of the entire system,
Professor Davis is well qualified for
such position. He is progressive, en-
ergetic, self-rellant, well trained and he
is thoroughly at home in every depart
ment of school work. Teacher S
and educators generally, have confidence
in his skill and judgment. He is con-
SGlNdOINO CuOuBl w DC odlC anu you
courageous enough to lead. Although
but six years a resident of Vermont, Mr.
Davis and his teachers have become an
important factor in our State education
al meetings, and the influence of our
schools has been a matter of pride to our
citizens. The election of Mr.. Davis to
the presidency of the Vermont State
Teachers Association, which position
he now holds, testifes to the high esti-
nation as man and teacher in which
he is held by the instructors of the State.
Mr.. Davis has done a noble work in
Bennington, not alone for the scholars
in our schools, but for the large corps of
teachers under him, who by advanced
methods in teaching introduced by him,
and his good offices in their behalf, are
enabled to take high rank among teach
ers of the State.
1t is only necessary to compare the
condition of our schools at the present
time, with their condition when Mr.
Davis took charge of them, to demon
strate the fact that he has given us the
best schools we ever had, and that in
parting with him we lose one of the most
efficient educators in our State, and Ans
terdam gains valuable citizen and edu-
Gator.
1t is gratifying to Prof. Davis many
friends in Bennington that he is called to
a broader and higher field of usefulness,
and he will carry with him their kind re-
CARDS and best wishes for his future we'll
fare, while they cherish for themselves
the confident assurance that he will be a
success in his new field of labor, and that
the trustees of the schools for the city of
Amsterdam. will soon learn they have
made no mistake in the selection of a
Superintendent.

only to breathe his last. He was burned
about his head and hands, but had died
