L. Mann is from today's Greenville News: Greenville owes a great debt the life and works in this munity of Dr. James Lewis Mann, whose death yesterday closes outstanding career of notable complishment in public service. During the more than two ades in which he served as superintendent of the Greenville schools, the community's public educational system enjoyed period of greatest growth, not in the expansion of the physical plant but also in its great progress in educational methods and ricula; and it became widely cognized as one of the finest most efficient school systems the South. 'This remarkable progress must be attributed in very great measure to Dr.

Mann's constant earnest devotion of his energies and abilities to the task of providing adequately for Greenville's growing public school needs. When he became superintendent here in 1916, the city school system consisted of only four white and two colored schools with a tal enrollment of 2,000. The steady growth of the community made necessary a continuing program expansion over a period of years and it was particularly in connection with the planning and carrying forward of this program of velopment that Dr. Mann's tional administrative abilities proved of incalculable value. A native of Abbeville, and graduate of Emory College, spent several years in ate work in Europe, and upon return to this country in 1903 began his life work of school administration.

His choice for the superintendency of the Greenville schools followed several years cessful work at Greensboro, North Carolina. His accomplishments in Greenville attracted wide attention and admiration throughout this other states and he attained recognition as one of South Carolina's foremost administrative educators. Though his life's interests centered fir the school system, Mann was active in various phases of the community's civic life and his vigorous personality and sound counsel on public affairs made him one of Greenville's most highesteemed and influential citizens. A man of the highest standards of life, in both his professional and his private affairs, was loved and honored by his fellow -citizens and associates in his profession. In his death Greenville deeply mourns the loss one of her most useful and beloved citizens and feels profound gratitude for his life of constructive work and achievement in the service of this community.
