IN MEMORIAM. A. S. KISSELL, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, 1869-72. A. S. Kissell was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, March 24, 1829. His educational work in Iowa commenced in 1856, at which time he became principal of the first grammar school in Davenport. When the schools of that city were consolidated, in 1858, he was elected city superintendent, in which office he remained for six years. He organized the training school in that city and brought a lady from the famous school at Oswego, New York, to act as its principal. Under his enthusiasm and magnetic influence, the schools of Davenport attained a high degree of prosperity. From May, 1858, to October, 1859, Mr. Kissell also filled the office of county superintendent for Scott county. His usefulness, while connected with the Davenport schools, cannot be better characterized than in the following extract from a letter written by one who knew him intimately: |
