PRINCIPAL JOHNSON was born in Altay, Schuyler Co. He received his education at Starkey Seminary in Eddytown, N. Y.

He came here in 1874 and has been Principal of this school since that time, a period of thirty years. During tins time he has put forth his best efforts, working early and late to bring the school up to his high ideal. No task is too difficult, no sacrifice too great for him to bear cheerfully if only by so doing some benefit may result to the school. His success is now shown by the high rank which Watkins High School holds among its sister schools.
