E. G.. Farnswor tn has rendered his
resignation to the school board as
janttor of the public school building,
the resignation to take effect the first
of next month. The work required
Of the janitor is exacting and under
the strain Mr.. Farnsworth is conscious
of falling health, warning that sug-
gests discretion and surcrase from
such labor as he has so long imposed
upon himself. He has been a fixture
in the economy Of the school for
twenty years-a fact that speaks fully
for the efficiency of his labors. 1t is
the duty of the jaEitor to care for the
school building and grounds; to keep
everything in order with "neatness
and dispatch" These specific duties
he always performed faultlessly. He
did more than this in rendering the
| school successful. He was Of much
| assistance to the board and the
teachers-to the board in giving them
the results of his good Judgment from
observation Of existing conditions
that could be improved; to the
teachers in the preservation of order
among the pupils, about the building
and grounds. He has always exhibited
the rare tact Of commanding the
respect of the pupils and their willing
obedience to any suggestion he saw
| fit to make TO them relative to their
conduct outside of the rooms.
