af R D EJ WILLIAM IIULMES MBGUFFEY In the late autumn of 1826 a sandy-haired Scotch- man named William Holmes McGuffey rode into our little village of Oxford where he was to conduct ex- periments in child psychology which were to have a far-reaching influence. In his home on Spring Street he personally directed the elementary edu- cation of a class of village children and noted the reactions of the children to various education meth- ods. From these studies he conceived the ideas for his famous McGuffey Readers whose wholesome philosophy and homely teachings are quoted and loved to this day. The influence of this remarkable and kindly teacher is today greatly felt within the walls of the school which proudly bears his name.
