BOYDEN, principal, was educated in the home, on his grandfather's farm, in his father's blacksmith- shop, in the district l school, the State Normal School, and by private tuition. At the age of fourteen years he decided to be a teacher, strongly desiring to go to college but could not get the funds. He gave his evenings to study, deter- mined -to do what he could for himself. At twenty-one years of age he had good health, good habits, his trade, and had taught a district school three winters. He entered the State Normal School at Bridgewater, taking the regular course and an advanced course. After his graduation he taught a Grammar school in Hingham during the next'winter, received the. appointment of assist- ant teacher in the Bridgewater State Normal School, held the position three years under the distinguished founder of the school, Nicholasffillinghastf, was principal of the English High school for boys. in Salem three years, sub4master of the Chapman Grammar school, Boston, one year, first assistant again in the Bridgewater Normal School three and one-half years under the able tuition of the second principal, Marshall Conant, was appointed principal of the school in August, 1860, and the same year received the degree of A. M. from Amherst College. , A He was a diligent student in school and under private tuition, and during the time he was assistant in the Normal school he was called upon to teach nearly all the studies of the course, and to make a careful study of the principles and methods of teaching. He' started in life with the determination to do every- thing entrusted to him to the best of his ability, and has never sought a position as teacher. He has been president of the Plymouth County Teachers' Association, of the Massachusetts Teachers' Association, of the Massachusetts Schoolmas- ters' Club, of the New England Normal Council, vice-president of the Ameri- can Institute of Instruction, secretary of the National Council of Education, president of the Old Colony Congregational Club, editor of Massachusetts Teacher, and author of numerous educational addresses.
