John §. Gr°rr t ie- fOIIN S. CROMBIE, Principal of the Minneapolis Central High School, is of New England parentage, his ancestors having settled at a very early day in what is now the State of New Hampshire. Ills father was a native of Vermont, but in 1842 went to Michigan and settled at Pontiac. Here on June 19th, 1854, the subject of this sketch was born and here he passed his boyhood. The first Branch High School to the University of Michigan was established in Pontiac in 1837, and the town has ever since been noted for the high grade of its public schools. After a thorough course in these schools Mr. Crombie was graduated from the High School at the age of nineteen and in the same year entered the University of Michigan. From this institution he was graduated with honors, in the Classical Course, in Juue, 1877. At the opening of the school year in September following his graduation, he began his teaching as principal of the High School at Coldwater, Michigan, and at the close of the year he was called to the superiutendency of the schools of that city. This position he held for three years. He was then offered aud accepted the superintendency of the schools at Big Rapids, Michigan, remaining four years in that city, when he was called to his present position in Minneapolis. Mr. Crombie stood very high in the ranks of the teachers of Michigan, and his departure from that held of work was universally regretted. But what was one state’s loss was another’s gain and Minneapolis was truly fortunate in gaining, as principal of her High School, a man of Mr. Crombie’s standing and ability. The steady growth of the institution under his management, is attested by the fact that the number of teachers and pupils has nearly doubled, numbering at the present time, thirty-two teachers and over eight hundred pupils; while the graduating classes have increased from fifteen, the class of four years ago, to one hundred and seven, the graduating class of 1890, by whom, as by all, Mr. Crombie is held in honor and esteem. —9- y.V .y rv vf;v:v•:v;v;v : : ?s1vv; y ';v; ';v;v; v'V ’jv,? v v'7' 'Vvs v,-'VVx,' V'V v'V'V'V'V' v v'V v v; V'■’s v; - . v,?vjv; • .
