HOSMER was a scholar and a classicist, and was never satisfied with less than the best elTort toward learning on the part of his students. Miss Stella M. Brooks, for many years a member of his faculty at Spaulding, said last night of Mr. Hosmer: He was, first of all, a scholar in every sense of the word. He started at S. H. S. determined to keep to the high stan- dards started under O. D. Mathewson. I know that he was very interested in individual pupils and helped them to prepare for further education. Often- times he also helped them in getting that education through scholarships. Similar tributes were paid Mr. Hosmer at the time of his retirement 18 months ago. Dr. Ralph E. Noble, state commissioner of education, said of him that Uwholeheartedness and responsibility have characterized his devotion to the high calling of teaching. Mr. Hosmer has borne uncomplainingly the heat and burden of the day, steadfast to his standards of scholarship and jus- tice. He has worked quietly year in and year out, seeking no popularity for himself, giving his whole strength to the good of Spaulding high school . . . His work will endureg it has that degree of pe:manency to which all teachers aspire but which few attain. Courtesy of Barre Times, December 8. 1947. C125
