NICHOLS (Continued from F’ajre ) published at that time in a local newspaper concerning the choice of a new president stated: The honor probably will go to George H. Nichols if he will accept it. Mr. Nichols, who was winner :n a lively election last year, has served ably as a trustee and is generally considered as well qualified to head the board.” So it was that Mr. Nichols received the position which he has held for fourteen years. Exactly 4552 students were receiving training in 11)25. During his many years of service there have been a number of new buildings as well as annev.es erected, the school registration has increased five-fold, the staff of teachers has been greatlv enlarged and the school system in general has flourished. Mr. Nichols sincerely believes in democratic ideals. When reminded of the students de mauds for a shorter school day last year, he expressed the following opinion on the prin- ciple involved: “I no reason why the students, if their requests are reasonable, should not be given full consideration. Of course, I am opposed to students’ striking. That is going too far There is no justification for striking when all fair requests will be granted.” Mr. Nichols was born June 8, 1876 in the town of Adams, Jefferson County. We take this opportunity to congratulate our eminent school head on his sixty-third birthday ami express the hope that he may continue to fill his years with distinguished public service. it is common knowledge that board mem- bers are not salaried individuals. When asked what would induce a person to devote twenty- seven years of his life to educational work on the board, Mr. Nichols replied, “—chiefly his willingness to be of service to the community. If a man has the time and is willing to devote it to the school and community affairs, he will find much satisfaction in the work. Of course, you make some enemies and a few friends hut that is the case in almost any occupation.” President Nichols rightly deserves all the honor wir’ch we tender him. However, he shuns the limelight. If there are two adjec- tive' capable of describing George H. Nichols, una uming and unpretentious would be most fitting. Toulson Hardware 110 w. Main Street
