To whom may it concerned:

The undersigned, constituting the School Board at this place, take pleasure in saying that Mr. E. C. Grubbs, who has taught our school as Principal for the past two years, has given excellent satisfaction, both to the Board and to the patrons of the school. In methods of instruction he is fully abreast of the times, and his government is good. He is particularly successful in impsrting his own enthusiasm and love of study to the pupils under his instructions.

Outside of the school room he is an umremitting student. So well please have we hbeen with his work in our schools, that we have contractrd with him for another year.

Respectfully,

CANNONSBURG, PA., July 31, 1890.

It affords me more than ordinary pleasure to bear testimony to Mr. E. C. Grubbs, who was a student of mine at Bellevue College. He is one of the hardest working students that I have ever known, and seldom left a subject without seeing it in all its bearings. I may say, too, that I do not think that I have often had a student whose progress was more satisfactory than was his. He is earnest, diligent, conscientious.

He has been pushing his college studies far beyond the college course since graduation; and I have it from the most realiable sources that his scholarship and acquirements are of the first rank.

I have followed his career with great interest, and I consider Mr. Grubbs as one of the rising and promising young men of the West. I am glad that he has chosen the great work of teaching for his life work.

Very truly, C. M. DES ISLETS,
Principal Jefferson Academy.

By permissions the following is appended, which will give some idea of the standing of Dr. Des Islets as an educator:

PRINCETON, N. J., March 15, 1888.

Dr. Des Islets was a student if mine in Psychology and the History of Philosophy, and stood very high in these departments. I formed a friendship with him at that time which has continued ever since, and I have been constantly hearing of him and from him. I have evidence that he has been a good teacher in the chairs which he has occupied. A few months ago he submitted to me a Treatise on Ethics which he meant to publish. I read it with care. It was characterized by much reading and reflection, and by sound ethical principles. I believe Dr. Des Islets to be fit to become a Professor of Ethics in any college in America.
