have been their motto. With such
spirit as this it is not difficult to know
what the outcome of the year will
be. There has been an advance in
the standard and quality of the grade
work and this is what the present
superintendent has been working for,
with persisting effort.
OF course the year has brought it's
knotty problems. They have not
been lodged, nor have they all been
solved, some will remain for another
year, but with a company of Jealous,
the next year will bring still further
! improvements. There has been some
brilliant work, there has been much
ambitious work, there has been some
discouraging work, there has been much
very much persistent work, there
has been some quiet, worthy work,
there has been some mediocre work,
and there has been some poor work,
but one of the best features of it all
| is that none are overestimating their
work. They know not only where the
strong points have been but also (and
this is their salvation) their weak
points.
1t was a strange and untried situa-
ton that faced Supt. Haylor at the
beginning of the year in the High
School. An entirely new force and
much ineXperience. True, he has
searched carefully through much of
the previous summer for teachers
who could meet the needs of our high
schocl and mad recommended only af-
ter careful investigation. The result
es shown by the years work is be-
.yond the expectation of both superin-
We're wisely made. Each of these
teachers has shown a peculiar fitness
for the work she has been asked to
do. There has been determined eff
fort of each to aid in the work of
the other and all have carefully en-
deavored to work out the will of the
superintendent. The special work of
music and drawing has been admir-
ably cared for, and the special teach
er has won laurels for herself in this
frst-years teaching Mathematics
and Latin have not lost but have rath-
er gained under the present instruct
ora college graduate without expert
ence. The management of the high
school and the instruction in modern
languages has been worthy of the
commentator it has received from
time to time at the hands of the
sperintendent.
How much, how very much there is,
that is worthy of praise! How little,
how very little that ought to be found
fault with!
The Journal itself would be justly
a subject for censure if it did not call
attention to the hands that have been
at the helm. The superintendent has
been the moving spirit. The Journal

knows it, the people of Perrysburg
know it, the teachers of Old Wood
know it, because they all know the
man. They know his qualifications,
they know his high-minded principles,
they know how easy it is to work
with him; they know what hard
worker he is; they know how thor
ough he is; they know his loyalty to
Perrysburg, they know his quiet firm
ness; they know they can bank on
his word and his integrity.
When the Journal thinks upon these
things it sees and knows why the ma
chinery of our schools runs so smooth
ly and why every pupil, every parent,
every official has confidence in the
quality of work, the standard of ex-
cellence and the wise management of
the public schools.
Citizens of Perrysburg hats off to
the board, hats off to the teachers,
hats off to the superintendent and
hats off to the pupils-to all these
who have wrought so well during the
year 191O-1911.
