Here's Where Business
Grabs Another State Official

Dr. Augustus o. Thomas, State
superintendent of public schools, de-
clared Monday that the resignation
ofsMenn W. Starkey as deputy State
superintendent Of schools to accept a
position with an insurance company
at Portland, is received with deep re-
gret.
For 10 years, Mr.. Starkey has
been a faithful and efficient member
Of the staff of the State superinten-
dent and for one year he was acting
superintendent" said DIR. Thomas. I'm
all his work Mr. Starkey has been a
source of strength to the department
and the educational interests Of
Maine. His grasp of his job, his
fine consideration of others, his quiet,
forceful manAer, his rare good sense
and his absolute dependableness has
rendered him of unusual service. To
say that he will be greatly missed
from his accustomed place is a weak
way of expressing great loss. The
State superintendent will miss the
sturdy, manly, young man who has
journeyed side by side with him
through four years of the most trying
times in education the present gen.
Grafton has experienced and who has
borne much of the burden.
But it is the same old story of the
inability of the profession to properly
cope in financial way with busi-
ness. Mr.. 7Starkey lays down the
deputyship to accept a position
which offers a pecuniary remunera-
ton far beyond the compensation he
receives from the State, yet, educa-
ton calls for the highest professional
ability. and skill is just as prominent
y factor in education as in business
"Mr. Starkey has cooperative
give and. take mind with courage and
force to back up a conviction. He
should rise easily in business pursuits
and our best wishes are with him."
