Behicatiun MM Maine November 12 1851 His education was received in the schools of his native town and in Tuft's College, from which he graduated with honor in 1877. He spent the First years after graduation as principal of the high school and later as superintendent of schools in Bangor. He came to Minneapolis in 1883, assuming the principalship of the Win- throp School. Afterward, he was successively, Hrst principal of the Adams School and supervisor of evening schools. In 1892, he was elected superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools, which position he has held, uninterruptedly, for twen- ty-two years. HARLES MORRISON JORDAN was born in Bangor, asv , , . A bare recital of facts such as this can convey little or nothing of the character of him, who, careless of self, has thought only of the grave responsibility of his task as leader of the children who were to be the sturdy, clear thinking men and women of this metropolis of Minnesota. To this man of infinite capacity for toil, great heart and far seeing vision, who has made for Minneapolis one of the finest school systems in the United States, we, the Senior Class of New Central High School, most respectfully and affectionately dedicate this book.
