Excerpt from Three Score and Ten in Retrospect: I, Boyhood Days; II, Reminiscences of School Experiences From Twenty to Seventy-Two This narrative therefore seems to me of decided historical value. Many of the incidents here given he had told me from time to time, and it was at my suggestion that he gathered here these reminiscences of a long, an honorable, and a useful career. There are few living men able to give us truthful pictures of the school and home life of half a century ago, and the com munity should be grateful to Mr. Hooper for thus putting on record much that otherwise would have been forgotten and lost.
