support and CO operation of the teach
ers and wish at the outset to meet
each one face to face. Were the
meetings in the county held on Sat
urday only, it would take me nearly
a wear TO make the round. Feeling
the necessity OF going from county to
county without loss of time and trav-
cl, must ask each county board to
order the suspension Of schools on
the day to be named by me, without
deduction Of pay from those teachers
who attend the meeting thus called.
The question before US is OF vital con
Germ to the teachers and trust they
will exert themselves to be present.
1t would be most helpful if | could
also meet with the trustees They
are the Immediate guardians of our
educational interests and l feel the
need OF consultation with them. The
planting season /, at hand and farm
work is pressing; but will they not
give one day to conference with me
looking to the advancement of the
educational interests in their commu-
mites?
I write this preliminary letter to
each county superintendent and
member of county board to enlist
your aid. viii you guarantee me
the presence of your subordinate
school officials? ] shall announce the
schedule OF my visits as soon as |

OBITUARY..

Betsey, wife of Brentnell W. Searle of
March 3rd, 1919, and died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Sturgis. in
Troy, Me, March Sth, 1899 Mrs. Searle
was the youngest daughter and last men,
Der OF the large family of John Plummer
of Freedom. In January, 1887, she mar
ried Brentnell w. Searle of Freedom,
with whom she continued to travel the
rugged pathway of life until the time of
her death, thus closing voyage of 81
years and > months conpanionship to-
gether with Mr.. Searle, and an entire
journey through life of 50 years and ) days
TO them were born four daughters, only
two of whom survive her. The oldest,
Dorcas, became the wife Of Ezekiel Booth
by of Jackson, and died on 1857. The next
died when but two years old. Those re-
naming are Mrs. Alice Carr of Holbrook,
Mass, and Mrs. Lovisa Sturgis of TROY.
both of whom were with her in her last
hours to care for and help the waning ex
istence of a fond and loving mother 1t
is needless to say that all that human
hands could do to assuage the bitterness
of the sting of approaching death was
done by these devoted daughters, who
can never forget the devotion; af-
lection and wise counsel Of an I'M
usually tender and devoted mother.
She was unusually healthy till within the
past five or six years when she began to
fail and three years ago had a shock from
which she never fully recovered. Through
all her last sickness she maintained the
same patience which characterized her
entire life, and tried to make sunshine
for all those about her. A loving and
devoted wife and mother, kind and
obliging neighbor, ever ready to lend
helping hand, speak a comforting
word in sickness and trouble Verify we
can but say she has gone to her reward
She experienced religion fifteen years ago,
and always held to that faith which char
acterizes a true disciple Of Christ. Hell
Bible was her constant companion and
the apparent JOY of her declining years.

Rev. c. E. Springer at the village church
in Detroit, near her late home, and burial

A New Life Boat.

CapsiZed in a Heavy Sea it Will Right Clear
of Water.
Talk about the wonderful contrivances
described in the Frank Reed dime novels
of generation ago, they are not in it for
a minute with the new metallic life boat
which will be placed in the life saving
station at Popham Beach within a few
days. She is the latest thing out in the
way of a device tor saving ship wrecked
sailors and the crew are as anxious to give
her a trial as a boy to mount his first bicy-
Gle.
This boat is 30 feet long, lightly con-
structed, but of the very best materials,
50 that she will stand as heavy sea as
many larger craft. She is equipped with
two masts, schooner rugged, and can also
be propelled at a good rate of speed by
oars when handled by the sturdy boatmen
who compose the crew. She will carry
life preservers, lines aud all of the neces-
sary paraphernalia which may be needed
by the crew when she is in use.
The peculiar feature about the craft is,
that when capsized she is self righting.
This is done b. careful arrangement of
of air tanks in each end, which hold the
bow and stern so high in the air that the
middle of the boat does not come in con
tract with the water at all, when she is
upset. This gives an air passage beneath
her, and consequently no suction. A
heavy weighted keel causes her to turn her
self back into her proper position entirely
free from water. The boat will perform
this remarkable feat, even when her masts
are in position. By peculiar arrange
ment, should the boat capsize when the
sails are set, they can be lowered while
she is bottom side up and as soon as the
sails are lowered she will Immediately right
herself and they can be again set.
The peculiar craft will be kept in the
new boathouse recently constructed.
This house is 80 feet long and Is feet
wide, Its interior is ceiled with hard pine
and looks very neat and clean.
Leading from the boathouse down the
beach to the low. water mark is an track
upon which runs the iron carriage or era
die in which the boat is kert When it
becomes necessary to launch the craft the
men will take their position on board, the
doors OF the boathouse will be opened,
and as she slides down the track in her
iron cradle pin which holds her in place
will be drawn and when she strikes the
water she will be afloat, ready for business,
with the crew in their proper positions.
pun hei Ielul sig VIII pe pushed DacR
into the cradle over the rubber keel and
bilge rollers provided for the purpose, the
pin will be again put in it's place, and two
men in the station will haul the boat and
cradle back into the house by means of
Hyde capstan provided for the purpose.
This arrangement will be strong add
ton to the efficiency of the service at this
point. The entire service was patented
by the keeper of life saving station on
the great lakes. Bath Enterpr Use.
