DR. JEREMIAH RHODES Superintendent of San Antonio Schools AEcestus, the Greek archer, drew his bow with such skill and strength that the arrow springing from the string burned a path into the very heavens. This story illustrates vividly and concretely the value of the singleness of purpose, of the absolute necessity of giving attention to one thing, of the great need of having a minute and accurate knowledge of one science. Instensity is genius, lofty purpose is distinction, and high resolve is triumph. —Jeremiah Shades. MR. WM. J. KNOX Assistant Superintendent of San Antonio Schools Mr. Wm. J. Knox, Assistant Superintendent of the San Antonio Schools, is one of those quiet men who works all of the time—accomplishing much in the time that most of us waste talking. When the editor asked Mr. Knox for a few remarks, he simply said, “Oh, I have nothing to say. You tell them a few words for me.” Too much appreciation cannot be extended him for his years of conscientious service in the San Antonio Schools.
