GEORGE STANLEY RAYMOND, Educator. The scholarly atmosphere of Cambridge, 
Mass., his birthplace, had a lasting effect upon the life of George S. 
Raymond, who combined the usually divergent vocations of school principal and 
soldier in Hawaii.
  Born in Cambridge on Oct. 8, 1887, Mr. Raymond was a son of Charles F. and 
Addie (Stanley) Raymond. His early education was obtained in the public 
schools of Cambridge and he later attended Rindge Technical School and Tufts 
College.
  He arrived in the islands on Oct. 16, 1910, on an appointment from the 
department of public instruction as instructor in mathematics, science and 
industrial arts at the territorial Normal school. Previously he had grounded 
himself well in military affairs as a draftsman at the United States arsenal, 
Watertown, Mass., from 1908 to 1910, and had begun on his profession of 
educator as a teacher in the Cambridge public schools. He served until 1911 at 
the Normal school in Honolulu and then was promoted to supervising principal 
for the Lahaina, Molokai and Lanai districts. In 1913 he was appointed 
inspector general of territorial schools and served for four years until 
chosen supervising principal for Maui county. He became principal of the Kapaa 
school in 1919.
  He was president of the Kauai Education Association from 1921 to 1924 and 
was president of the Kawaihau Republican club in 1922 and 923. He also was 
selected a vice-commander of the Kauai Post of the American Legion in 1920 and 
in 1924 and is a Past Chief Ranger of Court Waialeale, No. 9251, A.O.F.
  Mr. Raymond served from 1904 to 1907 in the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia 
and joined the National Guard of Hawaii in 1913. In June, 1918, he was called 
into active federal service as a second lieutenant in the 2nd Hawaiian 
Infantry and served until August, 1919, being discharged with the rank of 
first lieutenant. He is a member of the Reserve Officers’ Corps. 
  Mr. Raymond is the author of numerous articles on educational and technical 
subjects.
  He married Rebecca Elsie Copp in Wailuku, Maui, on April 3, 1918. Three 
children were born to them, George Gordon, Robert Hundley and Stanley Herbert.
