What especially appealed to me in Mr. Putney was his love for his
pupils. He always tried to help them in every possible way. He even
stayed at school an hour or so after the school had closed to help those
"who might wish to come for help," as he always said in his pleasing
tone. I shall never forget his words, "Well, you will have it to-morrow?"
when some person was not prepared with his lesson.
No greater loss could be sustained by the school than this giving up of
Mr. Putney.
