Native of Nobrasks Mr. Weite has had substantial perience as a tescher and supervi- sor. He is a native ' of David City, Nebrasks,-and was graduated frem the State Teaghers' college, Kearney, Nebraska, in 1924. He received a master of arts degree for graduate work at the University of Jowa the follos year. From 1916 to 1920 he taught in rural achools of Brain- ard, Nebraska, and the following year he was school administrator in Bruno, Nebraska. For two years, 1925-1927, he was head of the department of educa- tion at North Dakota State Teach- ers’ college and was a special in- structor of the 1928 summer school. At present he is cempleting his re- quirements for a Doctor of Philos- ophy degree which he ‘'will receive next month at the University of Yowa. While he is completing his own professional work he has been the achool for so many years would retire from the work he loved. Principal White, who has given 35 of his-42 years of teaching exper- fence to the New Britain Normal school, who during his stewardship prepared 4,000 teachers and whose work was widely known not only in Connecticut but all over New Eng- land, was to take a much needed and much earned rest. Holmes Presonts Testimonial School Supt. Stanley H. Holmes of the New Britain system was called upon to present a testimonial, which was encased in’ leather and printed in old English type, to Mr. ‘White. Mr. Holmes sald it would be pre- sumptuous for him to add words of tribute after what Dr. Meredith had said. He said the Normal school fac- ulty -éould get much comfort and satisfaction from.the advice of Dr. White long after-he had severed his active connections with the achool. He then rqad the testimonial which was written by Miss Louise 8chmahl, dean at the Normal school, who had known Mr. White through years of “After 35 years they may have realized- that many of my dreams have come true. The state has com- pleted this very beautiful building. the time when this would come true. They say ‘Let us go out some time and congratulate him.' T would like | te have had them come out, but such a testimonial as this leaves me un- prepared for a suitable reply. Noth- could happen, it seemed. I dislike to do it but I am forced to retire because of circumstances. If there is anything to do to add to the success of the New Britain State Normal school during the remainder of my life I will do it.” He then turned to the Dr. Mere- dith, Supt. Holmes, and the other officials including New Britain school board members who were seated on the stage and apologized for not ad- dressing them when he began his talk, explaining with the remark, ‘l was just overcom Teachers Grief Stricken These teachers know I dreamed of | |ture, etc., friends must part” and the inevi table had happened — Principal White had retired. In his talk Dr. Meredith urged the instructors and administrators |to be time teachers rather than By time teachers he mcant those who teach according {to experience. “A true teacher is one who is thinking, acting and per- forming in terms of experience; the ing like this has ever happened to|l(Xt books and other methods sold me before and nothing like this| |thinking in the class room,"” Dr. | Meredith said. | Happiness in Work Doune skilfolly He said the feeling that happincss must be found in work is not cor- rect. It was Dr. Meredith's opinion {that happiness can be found in work space teachers. to formula are methods of space when it is done skilfully, The speaker urged a sense of trusteeship with regard to tasks, a sense of responsibility in which the teacher gains out of associations centered around an fnstitution. Dr. { Meredith said the 80 years of the |Normal school's history was not ex- pressed in the building, the furni- but the successful ex- {the pupils would continue to regard ‘come. commissioncr declared. The speaker paid a high tribute to Principal White. He said that Mr. White, during his 35 years with the school, rendered service to youth be- cause he liked it. This is the worth- whileness of teaching. Dr. Meredith added. He recalled an instance when | work of Mr. White 15 or 20 years g0 had been remembered. His in- fluence at that time, was an ispira- tion which will always be recalled. During his carcer Mr. White had proven he was an asset to tht state an an honor to the prefession, he | said. In conclusion.
