Mr. Holmquist gave a very thoughtful ad dress to the high school and took oc casion to say by way of introduction that he supposed the school was sizing him up as he was sizing up the school. He is pleased with the outlook and feels sure his family and himself will like Warren and her splendid people Supt. Holmquist will move to Warren during the. summer when we are sure the people will gi\e his excellent fam ily the most cordial welcome. With the co-operation which the citizens of any town should give to the- head of its school system. Mr. Holmquist is bound to keep the Warren schools up to a A ery high standard of efficiency.
