The above is a likeness of Pleas
antville's new Superintendent of
Schools, who begins his duties in this
city next Monday. Prof. Sullivan has
had twenty-nine years of experience
as an educator, beginning in an I'M
graded school of Burlington county.
After spending thirteen years in ac-
tive work of teaching in ungraded
schools and as Principal of graded
schools, he became Supervising Prin-
cipal at Paulsboro. The next year he
was elected Superintendent of Glou-
cester City, which position he occu-
pied for five years. He resigned that
position to accept a Supervising Prin-
cipalship of Mount Holly, where he
has been for the past ten years.
He wrote courses of study for each
of the above named places and though
they might be slightly modified to
meet current practices, they are still
in use, His efforts were crowned with
the result that Gloucester City and
Mount Holly Public Schools were rec
ognized by educational authorities of
the State and by most of the New
England Colleges as good college pre-
paratory schools. Besides, those who
did not wish to enter higher institu-
tons of learning were given an op-
p%ortunity to procure an education that
would better prepare them for life and
for making a living. His sole pur-
pose has always been to do the great
est good to the greatest number, and
he hopes that he may be o only
able to please the people of Pleasant
vile but that he may be the means
of advancing the cause of education in
this community. The Pleasantville
Press welcomes him to our city, and
Prof. Sullivan will find us ready to
cooperate with him for the advance
ment of education in Pleasantville.
