School Board and Faculty Record
Testimonial Of Supt. ThOrnburg
At a Joint meeting of the local
school board and the faculty of the
public school. Miss Edith Hoover,
Miss L. May Jones and Mr.. W. w
Baker were named a committee OF
three to draw up a testimonial TO
former Supt. w. B. ThOrnburg, for
his valuable service rendered the To-
cal school district. Due to the ILL
ness of Supt. Van BOrenstein, Pro-
fessor Thornburg of Dover agreed
to aid the local school district and
filled the Office of Superintendent
until the regular superintendent
was able to attend to the duties OF
his office. The committee then re-
solved, that in the person of Mr.. w.
B Thornburg, Superintendent of the
Public School of Harrington, we
have ever found an able and sincere
leader, of ripe experience, of gen.
uine worth, and of depth of charac-
ter; seeking not his own but the
good of others; sympathetic, a true
friend to all; a faithful servant of
the people; a Christian gentleman.
We further express to Mr.. W. B.
Thornburg our sincere gratitude
and appreciation for all that he has
been to us as Superintendent. In
time of need we found him to be
friend, a counsellor and educator,
a veritable bulwark, of strength.
We further express our apprecia-
ton of the worth of Superintendent
personality and of his
service to our school and cOmmu-
nifty. A copy of the testimonial was
ordered spread on the records OF
the school board and published in
the county and state papers and a
copy signed by the committee pre-
sented to Superintendent Thornburg
