Senior Year Book Br. ,Hahn B. Elaihlaw A friend of every boy and every girl might read the epitaph that would tell so simply the story of a life devoted to the service of children. Dr. Laidlaw loved the schools of Niagara Falls. It was in 1910 that he came to Niagara Falls as principal of the High School. In 1916 he became Supt. of Schools. It was largely his vision that conceived and his energy that carried to completion the constructive, far reaching school program that included the Junior High Schools crowned by the Senior High. New ideas were welcome. Vocational Education, Voca- tional Guidance, Adult Education, were developed in his regime, for he possessed the comprehensive mind and the rare judge- ment in the selection of his subordinates that mark the great executive. ' Unusual qualities were hisg the constant personal considera- tion of the progress and promotion of the many children com- mitted to his charge, the ready smile for each, the quick speech, the just decision, the almost uncanny knowledge of details, the kindly fellowship, the keenappreciation of those who worked with him, the sure recognition of worth. An educator of courage, energy, and practical wisdom, Dr. Laidlaw has left his life work, the schools of Niagara Falls, as an honorable testimonial. To those who knew him as a constant and loyal friend, and this number is legion, Dr. Laidlaw will ever remain a cherished memory.
