m T :m IN AI ' I ' KECIATIOX For nmri ' than a (|nai-tor of a ci ' iitury, P. A. Allen lias acted in liis pi-esent eai)aeity of Superintendent of the Blufi ' ton Public Schools. An example which parallels this remarkable ease prob- ably does not exist in any other city in the state. It has been a deep inspiration to us as students here the past four years to have been immediately connected with such a mas- terful educator, who lias worked so faithfully, so successfully, and so long. The higrhiest ideals in edueation have been introduced and put into jtraetiee in tile Bluffton schools and the schools kept true to them largely through the lifelong service of Jlr. Allen. His in- fluence has been .so widespread for such a long period of time that it is now im[)0ssible to gain more than a superficial idea of its vast extent. lb ' has set in motion a tide of truth, patriotism, and faith, which has overflowed the entire community. As we look upon Mr. Allen to-day, we behold a man still young in heart but old in years. We young people are unable to realize the significance of the great .sacrifice he has made in giv- ing his best days to the service of the Bluf¥ton schools. The highest tribute that words will permit is due Mr. Allen, our teacher and friend.
