For the year 1902 'O3 he was principal of the Fal- coner High school, New York. The summer of 1900 he passed in Europe, travelling from Scotland to Italy with camera. While in London he was for tunate in securing 8 snap shot of Queen Victoria. MT Jewell is a mem- Der of Republican lodge, No. 3e5, F. & A. M., of Parish, N. Y. MT Jewell's work in the High school in Newtown has been. of a high order. The school has grown in efficiency under his direc- tion, and the prospect is bright for better work in 1904-'O5. His unselfish interest in the public affairs of the town has commended him warmly to the regard of all good citizens. He has taken an active and helpful part in the work of the Mems club. It may be said that MT Jewell has had no part in the preparation of this little sketch. It appears because THE BEE believes in MT Jewell, and appreciates his earnest, unselfsh work.
