It reads: Beautiful Tribute "In the office of one of our great public schools in a congested district of Chicago there sits a modest and unassuming man. Few people in this rreat metropolis, this vortex of humanity, hear much about him or see his name in the public press, yet for nearly two score years he nas been presiding over the educational destines of thousands of our boys and girls.
