Book Description

Excerpt from A Memorial of the Life and Services of John D. Philbrick The paper selected to represent Dr. Philbrick him self is his address before the American Institute of In struction, July, 1884, entitled, Reform of Tenure of Office of Teachers. This was a subject in which he had long taken a deep interest, and it was this address that did much to secure favorable action upon the subject by the legislature of Massachusetts in 1886. The papers and addresses contained in the volume constitute an honorable memorial to a noble man. If they assist in extending and perpetuating his memory, the editor's labor of love in preparing them for the press will be amply rewarded.
