W. REIFF NAUMAN
W. REIFF NAUMAN, Principal of
the new Fremont School, Stockton, is a native of Pennsylvania, born at Manheim,
November 18, 1861, his parents being Peter and Elizabeth (Reiff)
Nauman. He commenced his education at his native
place, and was graduated at the Manheim High School in 1879. He completed his
education at the State Normal School, Millersville, Pennsylvania, where he was
graduated in 1884. He had, however, commenced his career as an educator before
that time, having already taught five years in his native county. From the time
of his graduation at Millersville until the summer of 1889 he was principal of
the Manheim High School. Having come to California at the time of the meeting
of the National Educational Association in 1888, he was sufficiently impressed
with the desirability of the State as a place of residence and as a field of
labor in his profession, to induce him to remove here, which he did in 1889. He
was chosen by the Board of Education as the first principal of the Fremont
School, an appointment that promises to be a happy one, on account of the high
character of the incumbent and a previous record as an able educator. Mr. Nauman is a working member of the Y. M. C. A.
