FOREWORD (With apolof ies to Macbeth) Our work is done at last: After months’ continuous effort, it rests in peace; The staff has done its best; lack of time nor delay. Careful criticism, frequent corrections, nothing— Can touch it further. So —in reading this book. Leave room for a laugh. Remember the good And leave out the chaff. [4)

LOUIS W. KELLER. Ph. B.. A. M. Louis W. Keeler, the present superintendent of the Michigan City Public Schools, was graduated from the Mount Clemens High School of Mount Clemens. Michigan, in the spring of 1895. He entered the University of Michigan the following September and received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the spring of 1900, meanwhile teaching school during the year 1898-99 in Richmond, Michigan. Upon graduation from the university, Mr. Keeler accepted the position as Science Instructor in the Michigan City High School. He remained in this capacity during the years 1900-1902. In the fall of 1902. Mr. Keeler was offered the position of Principal of the High School, which he accepted and held with success during the years 1902-1901. He attended the University of Michigan summers, and in 1910 received his M. A. degree. After the resignation of Prof. Cowgill, as superintendent of the public schools of the city, ull eyes turned toward Mr. Keeler as the new superintendent. During the summer of 1901, at a meeting of the Board of Education, he was elected to the office he now holds and has filled so admirably. Through his ability as an educator, our superintendent has brought the Michigan City Public Schools up to a state of efficiency that they have never enjoyed before. During his term of office, the splendid new High School building has been built, the Manual Training and Domestic Science Departments have been introduced into the public school system, and the departmental plan has been put into operation in the seventh and eighth grades in Central School.
