Jerry Crater Put Away.

The funeral of Jerry Crater took
place Sunday afternoon st the home
of his sister, Mrs. John, of North Plym-
outh. Services were conducted by Rev
Hendricks, of West township.
Those who remember Jerry know
that he never endowed public library
or had his name placed consplcuously
on ballot at election. Jerry can never
be remembered for any superficial thing
like that. His mission in this world
was of a truer and more human sort
Wherever he went he dispelled gloom
More than one man, we feel sure, has
been cured of the blues by chance
meeting, hand shake and q few words
with him. He was witty and gentle
and good. This beautiful com bination
of virtues made his character a re-
markable one. Jerry had some bad
habits we know, but regardless of al
that, he has done more good to Plym

been sick only very few days but bis
death was not unexpected. He was
sliced with severe vomiting spell on
Thursday and at several different times

years On the very farm. He reared 8
family of five children, two of whom
are dead, the others being Lawrence, q
teacher in the Argos schools, Bruce, OF

had reached the age of 68 years and all
OF his lifetime had been spent as an to-
dustrious, quiet and contented farmer
He was one of the best citizens of the
county being in many respects an sd-
mirable man.
Upon the death of his son Thomas he
was appointed by the com missioners to

Receiving the signal to stop, he shut
off steam, and the explosion occurred.

was afterwards found 1aboring under
the delusion that he was killed. but
no injury was found, except some
splinters IN his neck and the top of
his hat blown off. The boiler was an

show three large rustic buildings nest

ground of virgin timber, and Swallowed
by fir-clad and snow-capped peaks oe

teriors present tasty and elegant fur
nishings, fully in keeping with that to
which the most elite OF the "Antlers"
guests are accustomed. It is an ideal

MIR. Honan expects a very brisk de-
mand for rooms next summer, and in
creased sleeping accommodation are
being planned. Last season was very
short at the Lake, as elsewhere, but it
is to be hoped that we shall have sew

tourist travel is very profitable to all
concerned.

what the oysterman realizes for his nro-

The Common Schools.

1t is the expectation and intention of
every parent who is at all interested
in the proper education OF the children
to give them the best education their
means will afford, and this will, many
will not go farther than the common
district school. Therefore the time and
talents of the children should be made
good use of while opportunity lasts, or
their education will be very inferior
1t is a credit to scholars to show an in
terest in learning and to become per-
feet masters of their lessons. But to
accomplish this they must be helped
and encouraged as much as possible
at home, for the influence of the par
ents generally has more effect on the
child's mind than the teacher.
When school districts hire teachers
at $2.25 to $3.50 day the scholars
should have the greatest benefit posi-
bic out of the expenditure, yet what
child is not interested in can be but
poorly taught no matter how hard the
effort of the teacher. AS long as par
ents not only allow, but encourage
and persuade their children to dance.
and attend dances every few nights
from the time they are babies, they
cannot be expected to take much inter
est in their studies. For 1t is a we'll
known fact that this takes the child's
mind almost entirely off its lessons.
The writer has heard several teachers
say, of the places where they had
taught, that the sholars did not know
nearly as much, or take the interest in
their studies that they should, and
that from no other accountable cause.
Why hire a teacher to teach the
children and then keep them from
learning. w. A. ADVERSELY.
