A Splendid Tribute

The New England Journal of Education

Concord [N. H.] is one of the typical New England cities, educationally and otherwise. As the State capital it is indeed the city of dignity, wealth, and influence. It is the most central city of the State as well. Educationally it has never had a sensation in administration or method. Its leadership has always been intelligently progressive but never radical. It has always had ideals, toward the attainment of which earnest effort has been put forth. The public has never failed to support the educational leaders heartily with sentiment and votes. The schools of Concord are up to modern educational standards in the quality and quantity of work done. The pupils are well housed, well cared for, and the results attained are creditable. Superintendent L. J. Rundlett has long been the professional and official leader in fact as well as in name. He has never failed to have the child's life-work in mind in building, in equipment, in curriculum, in supervision, or in teaching. He is a well-balanced man; as the seafaring man would say, "He sees to it always that the school craft rides on an even keel." One of his pet phrases is "Develop the sensory and motor phases of the child evenly."

He impresses upon his teachers that their mission is to see to it that eventually the children perform fully and satisfactorily the duties of life.
