R. Hobcnsack, of 170(1 Colum bia avenue. Doctor Hobcnsnck is his soc-ln-law. Born in Bucks County Harrison Waltou was born on a farm in Bucks county, August 11, 181H. His father was Salem Walton, a Quaker farmer of Warminster, Bucks county, and his mother was a New England Norton. His forebears were the four Walton brothers who settled B berry in lfi!)5. "Two of them were schoolmasters Mr. Walton began teaching school lu Warminster 'when he was seventeen years old. He would not have had that post, he is quoted ns sning, but for the fact that the bo.vs who attended the school took a supremo dislike for tnu schoolmaster nnd threatened to ride him on n rail. That started Sir. Walton's career ns n school tcaolier, and witn the exception of one year, during which he conducted a store at Baiubrldgc and Eleventh streets, ho taught school con tinuously until February. 1014, when ho resigned ns principal of tho Edward Rutlcdgo B;hool, at Seventh and Norm streets. More thnn forty-nlno years of Mr. Walton's life were devoted to the students In Rutledge School. Tens of thousands of bos have gone through their youth tinder tho guiding hand of this born schoolmaster. A man with out a university degree, bo has been referred to ns "D. A. C." "Doctor of American citizens." Conducicd Night School Beforo taking the position of principal of the Edward Rutledge School, the tencher took u position nt the Willow Grove School where he served for two or three years. At various times duriug his young days ho taught in Hntboro public school nnd Mlllcrsvlllc normal school, where ho has received part of his education. Before taking up Ills position as pi incipal tif tho Rutledge School, nnd while he was teaching In the Willow Grove school, he found time to help or ganize the Baiubrldgc Building Associa tion iu 1S77, nnd was its treasurer for ten years. For twenty years! he con ducted night school us well ns the day ones. He was nlvvajs a diligent student and in ids leisure houis read history, biog- aphy nnd science. In summing up his life's work at oue time, he said : I never aimed to make "my" boys specialists. 1 aimed to make them citizens. School was over nt the termination ot his work at the Rutledge School, as far ns his active work was concerned, hut is not ct over for the thousands of bos under whoso destinies were shaped the firm band ot tho schoolmaster.
