Supt. Hardy's Excellent Work.

The many friends of A. L. Hardy will be
interested in the following commendatory
words from the Amherst Record:
"a. l.. Hardy as school superintendent
is rapidly proving himself the right man
in he right place. In the short time he
has been IN Amherst he has acquainted
himself thoroughly with our public
school systeul in all it's workings and
has made the acquaintance OF teachers
and scholars as well. He has thus been
able to detect the weak points and to
strengthen them. The schools were
never in better shape or doing better
work than today"
