Franklin B- Gault began to teach country school when seventeen years of After a few terms in the high school of Monticello, Iowa, he entered the prparatory department of Cornell College, Iowa, the fall of 1869, graduating therefrom in the class of 1877. Turning his attention at once to teaching he was elected superintendent of the public schools of Tama, Iowa, and later of Mason City, of the same state. Tiring of the monotony of low salaries at that time prevailing in the Hawkeye S-tate, he accepted the superintenc-.lency of a new school, district number ten, in Pueblo, Colorado, in the spring of 1883. In 1888 he undertook the organization of the Tacoma, Wfashington, public schools then a new but ambitious seaport attracting wide attention. and became a pioneer educator in the Puget Sound region. Be- ginning with twenty teachers he had a staff of one hundred and twenty in four years. Meanwhile he established the ward system. secured adequate legislation for a city system of schools, built or rebuilt twelve ward school buildings, devel- oped a course of study, and created a high school of several hundred members. At the last principals' meeting there were almost as many members as in the first gathering of grade teachers. Resigning to accept the presidency of the new Lfniversity of Idaho, on Oc- tober 3, ISQ2, he opened that institution in an unfinished and unfurnished build- ing. The panic coming on it was difficult to finance the university as the legisla- ture had to be educated to regard the wants of a state University, the revenues of the new state fell off, the population was sparse, and discontent and financial distress prevailed among the people. However the University steadily advanced in numbers and influence. Combining the Agricultural College and U. S. Experi- ment the organiation and direction of the University created demands quite out of the ordinary. Upon leaving the University of Idaho he returned to Tacoma and undertook the reorganization and revivification of Wfhitworth College, a de- nominational school about a dozen miles from that city, the village location prov- ing unsuitable. The College was soon put upon a secure property basis, the at- tendance rapidly increased, while the scholarship of the students was accepted by all leading .colleges and universities. ' Resigning from the presidency of this institution, july first, 1905. he turned his attention to business pursuits and was thus engaged when he was elected to the presidency of the University of South Dakota, September 5, 1906, and entered upon his duties the twentieth day of September following. He was appointed by President Roosevelt, in 1902, a member of the Board of Visitors of the U. S. Naval Academy. In IQOI he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy' from VVooster University for post-graduate work done in philoso- phy and pedagogy, his thesis being The Cultivation of the Ethical Imagination. -9,
