districts of Massachusetts; to arouse public and parents to the need for sanitary, com¬ fortable schools and for well-trained teachers, free from [xilitical interference. As to the latter, he was really concerned. He conducted county teachers’ meetings where new ideas and methods of instruction were discussed. For example, he showed the absurdity of teaching children to spell words like procrastination, p-r-o-, pro, c-r-a-s-, eras, t-i-n-, tin, and so forth, when most of the poor little pig-tailed darlings didn’t know what the word meant. He served the Board of Education for twelve years, and then, as his more ambitious friends would have put it, “he came to his senses ” and entered once more into political life. A few years later, however, he rejected the proffered nomination for Governor of Massachusetts to become President of Antioch College that he might renew work which contributed so vitally to the progress of education. At Antioch he established an institution of higher learning open to all with no discriminations against sex, creed, or race. This was the man who has been called “The Father of the American Public School.” For one hundred years education has moved steadily in the direction which he indicated and today, as we see it a century along its path, his plans and ideas are still discernible. His life of service is a symbol to us of the challenge which he has expressed so effec¬ tively: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” wuse Early picture of Antioch College
