good health. Sixty descendants assem-
bled on August 16 in his honor. His wife
is eighty-seven years of age, and they have
been married sfXty-four years. Mr.. John

he remembers historical events of eighty
years ago easily.

There are many hamlets in New Hamp-

the railroad station. To the chance sum-
mer visitor the seclusion and rest seem
enhancing. The glamor of mountain
scenery and trout effectually obliterates
the brave signs OF poverty and struggle
from before the Inexpensive eyes of the
man of city leisure. He carelessly gives
the urc hin. mutely pleading in front of the
implanted farm house, a few cents for his
corrugated cake of maple sugar, and asks
the name of distant peak. II he should
notice. how would he know the meaning of
the scant crops of hay and potatoes. or of
the empty stall? Sealed to him is the pa
thos in the history of the owners of the

at the piteous wife, plating straw hats

in barn dance in the village. three miles

The question whether the hills of Vermont

CULTIVATE YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER,
Invite Her to Your Home-Study tho
Atmosphere of the School Room

Invite Her to Your Home-Study the
Atmosphere of the School Room
The first thing to do is to visit the school
which your children attend. Make a point
OF this. even If 1t means a sacrifice of
something else, writes Edward W. Box in
an article on Our Schools and If Teach
ers," in the Ladies' Home Journal. Few
things can be more important than to see
for yourself the surroundings of your child
during school hours. Observe quietly, yet
keenly. but remember that any observa-
tons or comments you have to make, the
teacher of the class in which your child
happens to be is not the proper pers On to
whom to make them. The principal of the
school or the superintendent is the proper
functionary for such purposes. The teach
ec is helpless: she must accept conditions
as she finds them. She is an employe pure
and simple. But seek her out and win her
acquaintance and confidence. Show her
that you mean to cooperate with her She
ErowS that the best results can only be
obtained when teacher and parent cooper
ate. Invite her to your home-not in a gen.
eral way, but at definite time Make her
feel that you want her to be something
more than the teacher Of your child. Make
friend of her. ii you can; at least give her
the oppor iunity to show that she has anoth-
er side to her nature than that which she
shows in the class room. The teachers
burden is a heavy one rather than a light
one.
