M Hfmnriam GORDON E. SMITH Supervisor of High Schools Fairfax County, Fairfax, Virginia Died — Monday, July 12, 1943 We knew when we were told that Mr. Gordon E. Smith had died, that it was not true. He will live as long as there is a public school system in Fairfax County. His life and ideals were inseparable from the purposes of education; his greatest challenge, an unexplored and undeveloped mind. Mr. Smith was Principal of McLean High School for 4 years, Principal of Lee-Jackson School for 2 years, and Principal of Fair- fax High School for 6 years. He was appointed Supervisor of High Schools in Fairfax County in 1939. During his last difficult years Mr. Smith refused to submit to a weakened body, vowed to continue his work as long as he was mentally alert, and sustained himself to do so by will alone. On his visits to teachers and pupils he carried with him his courage, wisdom and humor. A great man — tolerant, understanding, gentle, wise and reverent — Mr. Smith gave to the past appreciation for experience gained; to the present, his greatest interest and effort; to the future, his confidence in God and humanity. Even before his death, his influence extended to the far corners of the earth and, always humble, he spoke with tears in his eyes of the former pupils who remembered him. A noble memory lives in our hearts.
