While in Mr. Eaton's address he dis
claimed more than ordinary talent in tn,
art of teaching it is certain that h
turned out more than an ordinar,
amount of forceful and intelligent mel
and women from his school which b,
taught here for ~ years and he trul.
says that while not rich in worldly good
he has that which money could not bu,
the lasting love of scores of loyal mer
and women who would share their las
dollar with him were he in need.
Arrangements were made for futur,
annual sessions and measures taken II
establish fund for the association.
