PROMINENCE OF OUR SCHOOLS.
Supt. Geo. P. Ham5recht Entitled to Great
Credit for Their advancement.

Our public schools have closed for
the summer vacation OF three months
and the teachers have gone to their
respective homes for Il long needed
rest. 1t is generally conceded by
those who have knowledge of the
past years work, that it eXcellS in
efficiency and accomplishment any
former year in the history of our
pubic schools. OF this fact we are all
justly proud. In accomplishing these
results no one man is entitled to as
much credit aS our efficient and
worthy Superintendent Of Schools,
Geo T. Hambrecht, who has resigned
his position to enter into the profess
sion Of law, which he has chosen as
his future life work. He has been
connected with the public schools Of
Grand Rapids for seven years. two
years as assistant principal, one year
assprincipal of the High. school aHd
four years as superintendent In
every one of these positions he was
promoted on account of his efficiency
and worth. He has always given our
schools his best efforts and they have
grown under his supervision and
management until they now stand
with the best schools in the state in
