and personality to please acceptably
the women of Cecil county. She

Cecil Federation of Homemaker's

The following tribute to Hugh w.
Caldwell, late County Superinten-
dent of schools and secretary of the
Maryland State Teachers Associa-

committee for adoption. No higher
type of citizen or finer character
was sheltered in Cecil county than
Hugh W. Caldwell. He lived a-full
strenuous life of service. He was
faithful and responsive to every
duty before him. His broad and
comprehensive vision and lofty ideals
fitted him for his position. For the
schools of the county he displayed
special interest, evidenced in his un

extend our profound sympathy.
