who are stirring up the subject for
speculation. The trade dollar 10 not

his great-grandsons, settled in New
town, now Newton, about l740. His
children were-Thomas, who settled
in Newbury, VT, about the year 1876,
whose descendants now live in that
vicinity Stephen, who settled in Bow,
n. H., about IVA, and afterwards re-
moved with his son David to the town
of Lyndon Stephen, Jr., who settled in
Sutton in 1906. Others of Stephens
children settled in Sutton and Wheel
ock. Samuel, Ichabod aud Nicholas
settled in New Hampshire, and Isaac
lived on the old homestead in Newtown
and was the father of ten children, he
dying when his children were small.
They became scattered, some going to
Maine, some to Lisbon, n. H., and
some to other places. Prof. S. l.. East
man of Newbury is one of this branch.
The members of the association held
their exercises in the pavilion in the
park. After dinner had been served
by the ladies, the meeting was called
to order by Edison C. Eastman of Con-
cord, n. H., the president, Chas. S.
Eastman of Boston, Mass, not being
present. They then proceeded to-
transact the regular annual business of
the association. Speeches were made
by Rev. Lucius X. Eastman of Boston,
Raw | EoSt,nau of DittShal6

Fred Eastman of Baskerville, n. H.,
Enoch and Charles Eastman of Lowell,
Mass, Jonathan Eastman of Portland,
Me-, Kimball Eastman of Cumberland
Falls, and Mrs. - Stanley of Win
chendOn, who, when she came, did not
know that she had any Eastman rela-
tives, but was rewarded in her search
by meeting E. Eastman of North Haver-
hill, N. H., who gave her information
so that she could trace her ancestors
to the first Roger. The exercises were
interspersed with music furnished at |
the expense of lady whose name was
not secured. At the close of Il pleasant |
and enjoyable entertainment. the COM |
pany repaired to their homes feeling
that every Eastman or descendant |
should assist in furnishing statistics so |
that the association could publish, at
an early day, the genealogy of the
Eastmans in the United States.

The Public Schools.

The school year is now we'll begun
and all children of proper age are sup
posed to be in school. Children are
not sent to school simply to get them
ont of the streets or to relieve parents
of their care, but to do good honest
work. Nevertheless their young minds
and bodies should not be overtaxed.
The body of the child is not yet mature
and sinewy, nor can the undeveloped
mind be expected to grasp thoughts as
quickly and surely as the older ones
can. If teachers think that parents
want their children crammed, they are
mistaken. When children from seven
years old to sixteen are in the school
room from nine o'clock in the morning
until four or half-past four in the after
noon, the confinement is sufficient, to
say the least. If to this is added les
sons for the next day that require
study the most or all of the time during
the following evening and morning,
and unwarrantable. Parents generally
do not fear that their children will not
learn enough; but very many fear that
their children will be so crowded in
their studies that their minds will de-
velop at the expense of their bodies.
Any system which forces children I'M
naturally in the public schools should
he earnestly protested against by pa
rents until it is abandoned. A paper
ut the social science convention at
Saratoga, which has received very wide
attention and comment, was on the
effeminacy of the native American.
The writer predicts that unless there
is a radical change in sanitary measures,
living, dress and physical culture,
America will soon be ruled by for
eigners. The public school system is
largely responsible for this state of
things.

Recent Deaths.

Rev. DR.. Edward A. Lawrence of
Marblehead, Mass, died last week az
the age of seventy-siX. Mr.. Lawrence
was n brother of the late Mrs Zelotes
IIOsmer and Rev. John Lawrence, and
we think was Il native of this town,
where his younger days were spent.
He was quite Il noted man in the Con
gregational church, and fine specimen
of the old-schoOl divine, beloved by
all. DR.. Lawrence was for eleven
years professor eff ecclesiastical history
and pastoral theology in the theological
seminary at East Windsor, CT, but re-
tired in 1865, and not long after settled
ut Marblehead. He was a prominent
delegate in the international Geneva
peace congress of 1873.
William Harvey, who died at Barnet
on Saturday, was the last surviving
son of the late Col. Alexander Harvey
who reared a family of eight sons and
five daughters, all of whom lived to a
good age and were a very influential
family in town. The only surviving
member of the family is Mrs. Alex
ander Brock. Mr.. Harvey was a broth
er of the late Hon. Peter Harvey OF
Boston and Robert Harvey of Barnet,
late associate judge of Caledonia COun-
ty court. Mr.. Harvey had resided in
Barnet upward of seventy-tive years,
and had held all the offices of honor
and trust within the gift of his towns
men. He leaves one son only. OF Mr..
Harvey's many excellent qualities, it
seems unnecessary to speak, and yet
to his large circle of friends and rela-
tives he was greatly endeared and his
memory will be fondly cherished. As
wise counsellor, and a man of safe
Judgment in all matters appertaining
to business, his advice was often sought
and was guide to his many friends
Socially he was eminently gentleman
of the cold school, who loved tC
entertain his friends toward whom the
most cordial hospitality was always
shown.
David w. Lee died at West Concord
on Tuesday and was buried at this
place on Wednesday. Mr.. Lees deatl
had been expected for some time
Two years ago come November he wal
violently thrown down on the plat
form of the depot at West Concord 10y
a man rushing into the cars, and sus-
tanned a fracture eff the hip. He has
been helpless sufferer for nearly two
years past because of that needless
accident. Mr.. Lee was born Oh tn,
Jacob g. HOvey place, half way be
bury, April, 1901, and he spent most
of his life in this town. He was actively
engaged in the building of the Pas
sumpsic railroad, and while so employ
ed lived several years in Newbury
During his later life he spent some tel
years at West Concord. For severa
years lie WIS lOItllldn Ol OuU-uOOl
work for +. & T. Fairbanks & Co
Mr.. Lee was man of Herculean frame
and great physical endurance, but o
mild and quiet manners, with neither
buster nor show of authority, and /;
man esteemed by all who knew him
He leaves three children-Mrs Will
lard Chase of West Concord, where he
died, r. Henry Lee of this place, ant
Horace Lee of Brockton, Mass. Mr.
Lee must have been one of our Oldes
citizens born in this town.
