At the residence of Rev. s. 4. Lee,
in this place, on Tuesday, June 5th,
his dat ghter, Mrs. MARY LEE SwANK,
in the twenty-fourth year of her age.
The deceased was born in Mt. Blan-
chard, Ohio, July 18th, 1858, and
came to Iowa with her parents only
two years later. An obituary i'm the
Gazette of Cedar Falls, where she
was inferred by the side Of brother
and sister, says:
Although she was q remarkably
vigorous and ambitious child, from
some unknown cause or accident,
when about six years Of age spinal
difficulty was developed from which
she has not only been limited in her
efforts and undertakings In life, but
has also been called to endure much
Of privation and suffering. Yet her
early taste for reading together with
her good social faculties made her an
interesting cOnversationalist, which,
together with her desire to make 9TH
ers happy, fitted her to be center of
light and cheer In the circles i'm which
she moved. Her gifts in music and
song not only served to cheer her in her
prescribed sphere, but greatly animal
ed others in the family, social and
church gathering.
She was always y lover of the Sab
bath School, and at the age of II pub
licly professed faith in Christ as her
Savior, and united with the d. r.
church ut Vinton, Iowa, where her
father was pastor.
She was married to her now be-
reaved husband, September 18th, 1874,
and for nearly one year and nine
months has been mourning the de-
parture Of precious little babe.
Her last words were Come, Lord
Jesus, come quickly" and soon after
she passed sway o gently - . wave
dies along the shore.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
A Word for the Children and
To the Parents.

1t is strange that SO little apparent
interest il manifested in the education
Of the children in our country dis
tricts. The people undoubtedly do
their duty as far as the erection of
school buildings is concerned; but can
the same be said when they do not
look into the school house from the
beginning OF term to its close? Is it
the duty Of parents to entrust their
offspring to the care Of teacher,
whom they have never seen, without
occasionally visiting the schoolroom?
lfso, the parents perform their duty
perfectly.
have taught for the last two terms
in this county. During the two terms,
my school has been visited by tWO
citizens. Only one Of these was man
of family. Is this right? Is it show
ing justice to teacher to the children
or TO yourselves.
1t Is a matter of little importance
whether or no the convenience of the
teacher is suited, so long as the best
interests of the little ones are sought.
The present question is-how are
these interests to be attained? fla
farmer were to purchase a farm and
hire the first man who came along;
and If the man were left to work the
farm during the entire season, with
out single visit from the proprietor,
could the farmer reasonably expect q
bountiful harvest ? Would he be act
ing justly toward himself by leaving
his farm in the care Of hired man !?
And yet this same negligence exists
among the patrons OF our common
schools. You, who are parents, are
neglecting that which il infinite
when compared with one or even
thousand farms.
But you may ask what good 1t will
do to visit the school. This question
would remain unasked If you could
see their little faces brighten, as l
have seen them, when father or moth
er entered the room. One great gain
by your visit Is that the children are
encouraged by thinking that you are
interested in them. Go where you
may and you will find that the most
successful schools are those which
have the largest number of visitors.
Ifa reform in this matter could be
brought about, there will be less COM

any teacher or to any candid thinker,
to say Ii this is not SO.
