Our Appleton correspondent recently
gave some particulars of the successful ca
reer as an educator in Massachusetts of
Walter f. GuShee, Il native of Appleton
The Boston Sunday Globe says that he has
been the most prominent educational man
in the State, on account of the stand he
took over the verb "to read" When the
State legislature passed a law, to 20 INTO
effect the first of January, 1906, requiring
every minor under Ii years of age employ
ed in any business to be able to read, mill
and factory owners foresaw trouble, but it
was Supt GuShee who set the ball rolling.
He was the first educator to declare that
''to read" meant an understanding OF the
words read and not the mere repeating of
them in parrot-faShion. lie was backed in
his stand by Secretary George II. Morton
of the school board of education, and school
superntendentS all over the State began to
interpret the law rigidly. Mr.. GuShte is Il
graduate of the taStlne Normal school, and
has taught in Maine, New urk and New
Hampshire. He is now superintendent OF
the schools in Agawam and Ludlow, Mass.
and principal OF the Ludlow High school.
