without ceremony everything that smacked of the artificial. He took no stock in the fine-spun pedagogic theories of the day and discouraged all tendencies to reduce school work to a mechani¬ cal process. He believed in the individuality of both teacher and pupil, and encouraged freedom and self-reliance as far as possible, in both mental training and discipline. He held the theory that education is not only a preparation for life, but that it is life, arid that all phases of life should be developed in the student. No department of school work which was founded on some underlying principle of life failed to receive his stimulating support. Ills method of administration and teaching reflected itself in the pupils as a splendid school spirit of which our schools are justly proud. In the spring of 1910 Mr. Swift resigned as Supeiuntendent of the Greensboro city schools to begin the practice of law in Greensboro. He carries with him into his new field of labor the love and esteem of all his teachers and pupils. We hope that the profession of law has in store for him even greater success and possibilities than that of teaching. As a token of our love and gratitude we dedicate to him this our third volume of The Reflector. Page five
