This was Governor Sprague's con- ceit and he followed it, to the great disappointment of the school officers of the State, and finally to his own. Mr. Rousmaniere filled the office to the best of his abilities as a trained bookkeeper and accountant and illustrated the fact he was the best Commissioner necessity knew how to produce. He entered on the high office, conscious of his ignorance of its require- ments, to satisfy a friend. At the end of two years he left it, self-satisfied, with the fu...ll approval of the people. It was the first time that the office of Commissioner of Public Schools was used to pay a political debt. Let it be hoped it was the last and only time. Mr. Thomas W. Bicknell, of Barrington, succeeded his cousin, Dr. Joshua Bicknell Chapin, as Commissioner, holding the office from June I, 1869, to his resignation, January i, 1875, to become editor and pub- lisher of the New England Journal of Education in Boston, Massachu- setts. Modesty denies the privilege of criticising or commending this ad- ministration of the public schools of Rhode Island.
