IIn flDcmonam The influence that Chesman C. Spratt, who served for eleven years as Principal of the Woonsocket High School, exercised over all who knew him personally in this city and elsewhere is so great that the chief facts of his life and work are bound to be of interest to the readers of the “Quiver.” He was born at Palermo, Maine, on May 28, 1867. His elementary education was received in the small country schools of his native town and his secondary education in the Central Institute at Pittsfield, from which he was graduated in 1889. He then went to Hates College, from which he received his degree in 1893. The summer after his graduation from college he married Miss Minnie Lois Gardner, who proved to be a remarkable helpmate for him during the remainder of his life. In September, 1893, he became principal of the high school at Richmond, Maine, and remained in this position until 18%. During these years his two children, Esther and Stanley, were born. The following fall he became principal of North Bridgton Academy, where he remained for seven years. The work that he performed here was so remarkable that the academy, which had n- t prospered in the few years preceding, increased greatly in numbers and acquired a superior scholastic standing. In 1903, he left the academy and went to the University School at Detroit. The following year he studied at the Harvard Graduate School and then became principal of the Putnam High School, where he remained for seven years. From Putnam he came to Woonsocket, where he assumed the principalship at the high school in September, 1912. Here he remained until his sudden and unexpected death on November 12, 1923. During his extended residence in this city he devoted his high ability and energy unsparingly to the Woonsocket High School. These are the main facts of his unobtrusive and diligent life. His strong and attractive character, his keen sense of justice, and his great interest in the activities of this school will long be remembered by the pupils, teachers, and alumni of the Woonsocket High School.
