A Fine Tribute.
The following tribute to Supt. d. NJ.
Kelly published in the edition of "The
Link" just issued is proof Of the high
esteem in which he is held by the
student body:
ANSlSS ySuIS uSOs SUPP. ~. SAs molly
came from Cedar Falls, to undertake
the direction of the Webster City
schools. During this period the schools
have almost doubled in size and the
high school has almost multiplied itself
by three.
Many changes have taken place dur
ing his administration and the schools
have shown unusual development and
progress. He has made it possible for
Webster City students to compete on an
equal footing with the pupils of any
school in the state. When he came
here, the high school was not upon the
North Central accredited list, but he
put it there and there it has remained.
! so that our graduates may enter, with
out examinations, any college or uni
ton.
The faculty of the high school con-
sisted Of eight members mt that time,
and now it has doubled that number.
Three extra departments, Commercial,
Manual Training, and Domestic Science
have been added to our schools, and
have helped to produce results that the
pupils Of decade past could not at
tain.
When Mr.. Kelly came to this school,
tie Misses Rosalind Cook, Clara Rup-
pei, Claire Richardson, and Vera Crow
sier were pupils there. These ladies
are now part of the concrete" struc-
ture Of our faculty, while many of the
young men and women alumni have
gone out to positions of trust and honor
away from home, and many more are
part Of the fine outstanding citizenship
Of this community.
The indelible stamp of fine mind
and democratic idea Of what the
American school really Is. has been left
in Webster City, by Mr.. Kelly's work.
The school and alumni view with re-
greet the leave taking of our friend and
chief, Mr.. Kelly, who goes to COlfax,
to assume the leadership Of the schools
there, a place where many old friends
await him, for he was superintendent
there for five years, some twenty years
ago.
The Link bespeaks happy future
for the COlfax schools, with Mr. Kelly |
al their head.
