work, and I am familiar not only
with the usual public school system,
but also with the work of manual
training schools, like the Ridge
Manual Training School, Cambridge,
Massachusetts. I understand the
construction and furnishing of laboratories
particularly for chemistry in all its
departments. I have also some knowledge
of draughting.

I was born in Salem, Massachusetts
in 1869, and was educated in the public school
of that city, entering Harvard College in 1888
from the Salem Classical School. While in
college, I lived with a relative in Boston.

I trust I may fit one of the positions
you are seeking to fill, and I should be pleased
to have you make farther investigation concerning
me.

Yours respectfully,
Lyman Gorham Smith
