was only natural that he should be- come intimately acquainted with the city and a great many of it's people, still numbered among his friends.
 When he left there to teach and during the fourteen years that he was superintendent of schools in Central Falls, these friendships were retained. Central Falls is not distant from Woonsocket and the school problems of the two cities are much the same
 All these considerations were among the many things that led to the sug- sestion of MT. Mowry's name by his friends for the office of superintendent of schools in Woonsocket and found hearty favor with the board, result ing in his unanimous election, even after MT Mowry had laid special stress on the fact that he was not anxious to leave Putnam and would not do so anyway for the salary that the Woonsocket position has been pay ing.
 The board of education in Woon- socket overruled all of his objections and elected him in spite of himself, as it were.
 MT. Mowry may go to Woonsoclzet. If he does. Putnam will lose one of the best superintendents that any town in Connecticut can claim, and there will be widespread regret here over his going away.
