• From among the authors of the story of Lansdowne High School, stands forth he who writes the theme and philosophy of our narration. Dr. Ewan, Superintendent of Schools, is responsible for the guiding principle which binds together plot and characters. Requiring infinite energy and patience, there are to be managed a thousand important and a thousand incidental details pertinent to our theme of youth’s education. Co-ordination of the community school system, school policy, and financial business, all demand the time and attention of Dr. Ewan and his indefatigable and invaluable office staff. • With infinite experience and knowledge of youth, Mr. Abbott writes the plot of youth’s story with deftness and facility. Maintenance of the pace of the tale is the result of his patient and careful planning, an accomplishment demanding concentration and time. And, as the polish of our narration indicates, Mr. Abbott unravels the most complicated of the plot’s intricacies. But technical matters are of secondary importance; youth first needs understanding, justice, and consistency. Steadfast in policy, decisions, and dictates, Mr. Abbott is scrupulously just in his relations with his characters.
