That young attorney who went to the
school meeting with his law books, all
loaded and primed to prevent women
from voting, was surprised to find that
Prof. Aseltine was too well posted on
school law to permit any such bluff TO

Mrs. Josie Myers would say to those
who have taken so much time and
pains to circulate the report that she is
teaching school without being able to
get certificate, that if they will come
to her house she can convince them OF
their ignorance. There has not been a
time in the past eleven years that she
has not held the necessary papers to
entitle her to teach in this or any other
school in the county.

about two weeks for medical treatment,
and it is hoped he will fully recover.
The school meeting, last Monday
evening, was the largest ever held in
the district, over 140 voters being pres
ent. Considerable outside work had
been done by that class who care moth
ing about the school only to run it as
cheaply as possible, and thus save a few
cents in taxes, and they expected to
elect some officers who would cut the
salaries of teachers and run things on
the Cheap John plan. But they were
outnumbered, and Gobleville can still
boast of one of the best graded schools
in southwestern Michigan and will con-
tinue to have for two years longer, at
least. The trustees elected for three
years were Joseph Green and &. ID.
Millspaugh, both being reelected.
