Guy Edwin Speare To the Graduates of the Three Year Elementary Curriculum This year is the centenary of the coming of Samuel Read Hall to Plymouth as the principal of Holmes Academy. To his students in “The Teacher’s Seminary” he communicated ideals that still inspire Plymouth Normal School. He bade them consider their pupils as reasonable and intelligent beings, to make their schools pleasant, to devote their whole time to teaching, to follow the order of nature in directing learning, to promote present welfare, and to lay the foundations of happiness and character. I can give you no better message than these ideals of this great pioneer in teacher training. I can express no greater wish than that you may fulfill them in the service of the children of New Hampshire. Guy Edwin Speare
