years ago with a population Of about S0.00O. There was a very poor school system at the time and Mir. Holmes was faced with a stu pendous task. The superintendent wts not allowed to have anything to do with the Senior High school. That plant was a unit by itself and no one connected with the school de- partment was allowed to cross the threshold in an official capacity. Another separate unit was the pres ent budding where the school head quarters are now located. This was exclusively for another group of peo- pie. Tn other words the situation at that time was Glass A preferred, Class B preferred, and common stock.
 Mir. Holmes had the problem of changing these conditions. He ac- complished his task until at the present time there is a uniform sys- tenn throughout the city. He i'm ported new ideas so rapidly that the school committee found difficulty in keeping up with them. He had in- itiative.

 1t is not true, as my dear friend, Judge Gatfney, had said, that l have been responsible for the progress made by the schools in the past 20 years. It's the combination Of cir cumstances, It's team work. There has never been q time when they lid not know what was in the air.
 T have never asked the members Of the board for anything but they have made great moves in q diroc- lion favorable to you and the chiI- dren and the reason is they always have had their eyes fixed on the well fare Of the children. Politics has never taken 2 part where the well fare Of the children was involved.
 T cannot say too much for that splendid body Of officials with whom it has been q pleasure to work. l cannot say too much for my as- sistant, Miss FalIon. l cannot say too much for the principal of the Senior High school. whom I have always regarded as a brother, nor can I say too much for Principal French or Principal Vessels Of the two junior high schools
