PRESIDENT JOHN A. H. KEITH T his first one. Samanthy. is a picture of President John A. H. Keith. He is a smart man! You can't catch him on anything—or if you do one day. by the next he’ll know more about the subject than you know or ever will know. He has what he calls “the right attitude toward knowledge. He was born in Homer, Illinois, but he didn't stay there long, for his father was a Methodist minister, and he was always moving around. Little John wasn’t a strong child, so he didn’t get along very fast in school until he was about fifteen years old. After that he became well and strong and he went right along. He taught in the country schools for two years, and then he went to the school at Normal. Illinois. He finished his course there, although he stopped one year to be principal of a village school, where he supervised teachers old enough to have been his mother. After graduating from Normal he was gi en charge of the Grammar Department of the Training School for two years, and then he went to Harvard. When he got his degree he went to DeKalb. where a Normal school was just opened. He taught Pedagogy and Psychology there for seven years. Then he went to Normal. Illinois, as head of the Training Department. He stayed there till he came to Oshkosh in 1909. I tell you. he’s a magnetic talker. He stands on the rostrum and explains some difficult thing to these students, and when he gets through, he says. You see? and they all sec -or if they don’t they are dunces.
