Answered the Last Roll Call.

Last Friday evening, November IL,
John w. Reynolds died of heart fail
ure at his home near Banner at the

liked by all who knew him. He was
kind husband and an indulgent
father.
The funeral services were held at

they taught last year and but five of
these have taught more than two
terms in their present positions. This
speaks well for these teachers and
shows good judgment on the part of
their districts but the limited num-
Der of teachers re-employed is not en-
couraging. Our schools will never
achieve their full measure of success
until the position of the teacher is
more stable and certain. Teachers
can do much to avoid these frequent
changes. The blame is partly theirs
and partly the fault of the people but
more the fault of the system of school
taxation and organization.

ma wanted pa to NOW the lawn last
night after he'd ct his supper, but he
wouldn't, and he was mad cause ma
asked him to.
ale said ma seemed TO think he was
nothin' but an old mschine with the
stesm up about eighteen hours out OF the
twenty-four. An he said he'd been
workln' like the deuce all day, an be
was hot an tired, an he'd be hanged II
he'd cut any old lawn.
ma said the grass WAS so high she
vas 'shamed Of Il, an she said all the
rest Of the men In the neighborhood
kept their lawns trimmed nice, an she
said they was proberly all talkin' bout
how slack our'n looken.
PA said he didn't care II the grass
was high, an he said I would have
time to git higher still fore he broke his
back cuttin' Of It. An he said II the
neighbors were feeling very bad bout II
they might come over an cut II any
time. He said when there come q good
cool day he'd try an cut 1t, but he
couldn't do it when he was all fsgged
out the way he was then, and ma didn't
say no more about the lawn.
"Pretty soon some fellers come along
that pa knew, an they wanted him to
90 down to Haverhill with EN-, an pa
grabbed his wheel an went of with 'em.
9An' ma was orful mad. She said IL
looked as though pa was tired most to
death, when be could push bicycle
clear down to Haverhill an back, an
all for nothin', too. An she said for
all the good pa was to her, she might
just as well not have man round the
house t all, and she said she'd just tell
him what she thought Of him when he
got back.
"An' she did, too, at breakfus' this
mornin', but pa didn't act as though he
cared much. American.

properly the torpedo boat must go close

destruction in position its next object
is to get away and out Of the reach Of
