On behalf of the board of education
the following was presented Principal
Hobson:
June II, 1911.
1t was with regret that the board of
education of the G-eeneville school dis
trict received the resignation of Mr..
Clifton Il. Hobson. During his five
and one-half years as principal he has
been a faithful and energ etic worker
for the best interests of the school.
His discipline has been excellent and
his executive ability has been such as
to accomplish his aims. at the same
time maintaining the friendship of the
scholars and teachers. He leaves the
school in exceptionally good condi-
tiOn, and we believe that the larger
field into which he goes is to be con-
graduated upon securing his services.
