We hope that the book will show outsiders something of the work and spirit of the school. VVe ask our readers to think kindly of our work and to remember that, whatever defects it may have, it was undertaken for the honor of the school and its members. - lVe extend our grateful thanks to Miss Learoyd for her hearty sympathy in the preparation of our book. lVith her help we were enabled to undertake the work. To Mr. Whitney we owe many suggestions. lVe also appreciate the friendly interest which the other members of the faculty have shown. One of the witnesses at a coronation of a Czar in Russia described the throng of 1-heerersas most unjoyous. lIow utterly incredible this seems to us, who at much lesser functions than those attending the crowning of the head of a nation show such a tremendous amount of exhilaration. Those quiet subdued crowds in Russia have had every drop of enthusiasm, so to speak, squeezed from them by authority and hard work. Fear of an oilicial has checked any sign of fervor. In direct contrast with that unjoyous crowd think of our own people on the 4' lfourth of July. In the roar of the cheers, amid the confusion of snap-crackers, horns, and cannon we see thousands of faces lighted up in the joy of being American citizens. Une cannot help being carried along with these wild enthusiasts. America stands for enthusiasm. It is seen everywhere. liven this school of ours came from the enthusiasm ofthe people for more education. lt is enthusiasm which urges Amerie-a on to siicvcss. Why were the Russians defeated in the war with Japan? lintliusiasin was dead in those silent, subdued soldiers. ti

The question may arise, ff What has all this to do with our work as teachers ? Everything is the answer. The children for whom we are to care must be lifted out of the humdrum of school drudgery. That drudgery may become a glorious work through the inspiration of enthusiasm. Under its influence the children will go out from school with a foundation for success in life, that is, with a spirit of lasting enthusiasm. The best of greetings to you, the class of '09 l May your senior year be as happy as ours has been! In looking over the past two years of our life, the greater part of which has been spent in this school, there comes a feeling of wholesome pride. This institution stands for attainment of knowledge, of power and skill, and of moral strength. We have had set before us high standards for which we have struggled and toiled. The very strug- gle has b1'oadened and enriched our natures 5 filled us with hopes for living our part in the advancement of education. As we go from the inspirations which have surrounded and guided us here, we shall hear and feel their echoes each day of our busy lives. Those echoes will help us to mould the younger generation before us into truer and more no- ble citizens and more loving fellow-creatures, even as our predecessors have tried and in most cases accomplished. It has been a line of capable men and women which has gone before us. Is it then unworthy to be glad and proud that we, too, are to be a part of it? To be a part of the line means that we are to belong always to this school. Is it not ajoyous, even thrilling pride, that comes to us as we think of that? Yes! Let us repeat it again. VVe are to be always a part of the Salem Normal School. List of Superlatives. Best eyes. Miss Learoyd. Most patient. Mr. Adams. Most sa1'castic. Mr. Cushing. Most precise. Miss Martin. Most harmless.
