Resolutions on Late E. M. Roscoe

The Association of School Superin.
tendents at Montpelier this week adopt
ed the following resolution:
Whereas, In the development Of di.
vine plan which we may neither compre-
bend nor understand, there has been
removed from our fellowship, man who
had served the schools of his native
state with zeal and fidelity for nearly a
score of years and whose eminent sue
cess in every position was a guarantee
of greater service in the future,
Therefore, be it resolved, That in the
death of Edward Mortimer Roscoe, while
he was still in the prime of his useful
ness. the teaching profession has lost a
most promising member; Vermont, a
wise counsellor in affairs of public edu-
cation; and society a leader of genial
characteristics, of optimistic and inspir.
ing temperament, who was in every re-
spect and example of the best type of
Christian manhood.
