By T. W. REED
The death of Dr. Joseph Spen
cer Stewart Sunday morning at 7
o'clock removed one of the most
prominent figures in the educa
tional world of Georgia and the
South.
’ Friday morning he appeared to
be in excellent health, came to his
}’omce, spent over two hours in his
usual line of work, consulted with
President Sanfard on matters per
taining to the coming session of
the Summer school, of which he
was the director, and gave no evi
dence of the impending collapse
that resulted in his death. :
A few minutes before 12 o’clock
he suffered a heart attack and was
carried to a local hospital where
he reacted favorably to treatment
and Saturday night appeared to
be considerably improved. Sunday
morning about 7 o'clock he pagsed
out without a struggle.
The news of the death of this
eminent educator will carry sor
row to thousands of his friends
throughout Georgia and the South
and in other states in ‘every part
of the nation.
~ Dr. Stewart was one of the
bast-known educators of this sec
tion. Fifty years of his useful life
were given to the cause of educa
tion and the results of his untir:
ing efforts are seen today in every
county of his native state and in
‘many communities beyond her
boundaries.
He was born in Oxford, Ga.,
September 23, 1863, the son of Jos
eph Spencer and Rebeccah Han
nah (Starr) Stewart. From Emory
college in 1883 he was graduated
with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts; in 1897 the University of
Georgia conferred on him the hon
orary degree of Master of Arts,
and later on, after he had achieved
eminence in his profession, the
University of Georgia conferred
on him the honorary degree of
Doctor of Pedagogy. He was a
member of the Chi Phi fraternity
and of the Phi Beta Kappa hon-~
orary scholastic society. o
He was married to Miss Selma
Hahr, of North Carolina, August
19, 1890, who survives him. Six
children blessed this union, three
sons, Dr. Joseph 8. Stewart, jr, of

education in the University. He
leaves behind as his enduring me
morial the accredited system of
high schools in Georgia. He has
gone, but his work. will continue
through the years t, bless the

mission, in large measure, had
heen completed bhefore he was
called to rest and a life more
abundant.
He loved the teachers of Georgia
and numbered his friends among
them by thousands., He was fear
less in the discharge of his duty.
He loved the University and was
able and efficient director of the
Summer School. Twp hours be
tfore he was stricken on Friday, he
gave me the complete details for
the summer quarter. Strange asit
may seem, he passed away with no
work unfinished. T
During the first week in May

the University. For that meeting
plans will be announced for suita
ble memorial exercises. Tt is fit
