Thorough and accurate scholarship, and the cultivation of good business habits have ever been the ideals which the Watkins High School has held before its students. Those most familiar with the management of the school are aware of its high standing at the regents’ office at Albany, but probably the public generally best realized its efficiency when it was learned that Watkins High School was one of nine schools in this state to be honored with a gold medal, awarded by the St. Louis Exposition, for excellence in school work. This medal in connection with a framed certificate which hangs on the walls of the school chapel will be a constant witness of efficiency, and a stimulus to those entering its walls. Each department of the school is now presided over by a teacher specially trained for the work. The high rank this school now holds among her sister schools of the siate could not have been accomplished without a master mind at its head. Such a master mind has Principal Johnson proved himself to possess, for to his executive ability, high scholarship and tireless energy may be traced the largest factor in the acknowledged success of Watkins High School. ,T.
