9 THE U N ION-ENDICOTT T 1 G E R GEORGE H. NICHOLS In dedicating this issue to George H. Nichols, the “Tiger” pays tribute to a citizen who has served Endicott unselfishly for twenty-seven years. Since 1912, Mr. Nichols has been an active member of the Endicott Board of Education. Then there were only two schools in existence here. The Loder Avenue building served as the high school, while Broad Street School housed the grades. Mr. Nichols can be justly proud of the fact that he has helped effect the growth of the village educational system from humble beginnings to its present status. Other members of the Board in 1912 on which Mr. Nichols began his career were George J. Ames, David C. Warner, John L. Barton and George H. Hart. At that time, L. R. Mooney was supervising principal and slightly more than a thousand students attended. “It was the following year that a vacancy occurred in the administrative post,” Mr. Nichols recalled. “Mr. Crumb, then principal at West Winfield, was among the applicants and was selected for the position.” In 1925 after thirteen years’ experience in school affairs, Mr. Nichols became president of the Board of Education, succeeding Alphonsus L. Bowes. An article iConUnuod on ] ape 21)

T H E UNIO N-E N 1) I C O T T TIGER 3 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Every boy and girl should be taught those things that will enable them to think and rea- son so that they may live their lives content with God, their neighbors, and themselves. The great importance of education in the modern world is self evident and the need is greater today than ever before. Education is a means of saving the world from confusion, such as has had no parallel in the history of mankind. To be educated, one should be will- ing to give the best that he has unto others. It means that avenues of service have been multiplied. At the present time, education may appear to be an expensive investment. Thousands of parents no doubt are concerned to know it they can afford to educate their children. The answer is that they cannot afford not to edu- cate them. Success depends upon preparation. Life, liberty, and happiness — all that the race holds dear — must be preserved through the nation's schools, be the cost what it may.
