CENTRALIANl A. 3. Plinth A. F. Smith was born in Fayette County, Kentucky, January 3, 1846. When twelve vears of age he moved with his parents to Missouri. He attended school at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri; Wabash College, Wabash, Indiana; and also a college in Lexington, Kentucky. At the age of twenty-six he began his career as teacher at Woodland College in Independence. Missouri. Later he became assistant editor of the Christian Evangelist, published at St. Louis, Missouri. Having been ordained as a minister he became pastor of the Christian Church at Platte City, Mo., in 1876, where lie preached for two years. In 1878 he became principal of a girls’ boarding school at Camden Point, Missouri, where he remained for four years. The next six years he spent as principal of the Holden Seminary at Holden, Missouri. On May 28. 1889, the Board of Education of Kansas City, Missouri, appointed him as teacher of mathematics and civil government in Central High School. Eight years later he became head of the English department at Central, in which position he remained till his death, March 3, 1922. During the thirty-three years Mr. Smith taught at Central, thousands of boys and girls had the privilege of being his students, some of the more recent members of his classes being children of his earlier students. Who can measure the service rendered to humanity by this good man ? His personality influenced all about him and those who completed the work of his classes, went to their labors with the impress of this master workman upon them, and through life, in speech, and action bear witness to his fidelity and power. In the lives and achievements of his pupils and friends Mr. Smith still lives and will live forever, for the work of the teacher is on the imperishable, the immortal mind and soul; and endures for eternity.
