PAGE TEN NORMAL OFFERING VOLUME NINE Personally and professionally Mr. Boyden measures up to the highest Bridgewater standards. The principals who have preceded him have been men of sterling character,--Christian men, standing for the best in social and church and civic life. He has followed closely in their footsteps, and church and town have received from him loyal support and genuine service. In the history of the school no one has excelled him as a teacher. His grasp of a subject is comprehensive, his analysis thorough and logical, his presentation vivid and impressive. His judgment of his students and their needs is keen and accurate, and his power to bring student and sub- ject together in vital relations, which is the crucial test of teaching skill, is unsurpassed. This is true not of one subject only but of many. It would be difficult to tell whether history or science were his favorite sub- jects he has so illuminated them both in his teaching. lt is essential to the success of a normal school that the principal should not be a recluse but should be in close relations with all the edu- cational forces in the community. He should know how the currents of educational thought are setting and should be quick to note the signs of the times. He should be sympathetic with new forms of thought and practice, so far as they rest on established foundations. This has been characteristic of the past, and it is likely to be no less in the future. The sphere of Mr. Boyden's influence has not been con- fined to the normal school. Through his work in the summer school at lVlartha's Vineyard, at teachers' institutes, and in different cities where he hasorganized the nature study, he has given impulse to the work through- out the State. ' Supt. john Philbrick of Boston said in one of his reports that teachers never could expect the highest success, if they never went be- yond the smoke of their own chimneys. Mr. Boyden has been beyond the smoke of his own chimney. He has seen the best normal schools in the country and has familiarized himself with their methods and spirit. What of good they have to offer will be at the service of Bridgewater. In view of all these facts it is not difficult to cast the horoscope for the future of our Alma Mater. All the best in the past will be filially conserved, and all the demands of the future will be met. The foundations will not be disturbed but the structure will grow in adaptation to new needs and in accordance with new truths. The genzm' loci will be the same spirit that has met and welcomed the young men and women of ' 136 classes, that has molded their lives, and sent them out into the world not to be ministered unto but to minister.
