DEDICATION SCORE and six years ago- the people of Perth Amboy elected to the office of superintendent of their educational system a man who, by his ractical wisdom, fine tact, clear vision, skillful guidance, and inspiring leadership, has raised the schools of this city to a place second to none in the State. Born in Martin's Creek, l'a., a village which has produced not a few men who have won distinction in the educational field, he received his early education in the schools of his native place. After preparing for college at liutztown Nor- mal School, he entered Lafayette in 1878, from which college he received the de- gree of Bachelor of Arts and later his Master's degree. Elected superintendent of the schools of South Easton, Pa., in 1882, he held a large place in the hearts of the parents, teachers, and pupils of that town, and for thirteen years he ren- dered a service distinguished for professional leadership and solid achievement. To this man, Superintendent Samuel E. Shull, the Class of 1921 dedicates this volume, that it may show its affectionate regard and esteem for one who has ever striven to enhance its best interests.
