The military authorities have been
pressing for the credits and as the
premier has been unable to secure
them, nothing remained for him to do
but resign. The official explanation
for his resignation is that he is surfer

will be made sooner than early in jan

To Help Country Children.
20. j. Kern, county superintendent
of schools in Rockford county, H.,
spoke on The Educational Uplift fol
the Country Child. He contended that
the country child was entitled. to every
whit as good an education as the city
child, but said the diflcult thing was
to reach the farmers and impress
them with the necessity Of not lying
down in the good cid ways. Three
leavening the prevalent. conditions in
country schools-first the SpiritualiZ-
ing of country life through. the intiu-
ence of outdoor and indoor art, espec'
tally through the improvement OF
school grounds and: school.f houses;
| secondly, the relation Of the ,school
| life 70 the home life by correlating the
subjects taught with the life of the
| farm, and thirdly, the teaching of agrl>
culture in the schools, keeping in
! touch with the experiments made at
agricultural stations, and having the
! c.lilGrep take part in farmers insti-
tutes The consolidated school, the
! bringing of high school privileges to
country children, the school garden,
/ school libraries, study of the things
with which the student will have to do
in life, were ideals to be attained.
A Rap at Book Agents.
State superintendent c. P Cary pre-
dicted the disruption of the association
unless the element of politics is com
| pletely eliminated. He declared that
| he would not countenance any effort to
| pass resolution by the association
favoring his candidacy for the office OF
state superintendent for he believed
| it would be in violation of the ethics OF
the teachers profession.
| His address was delivered while the
tellers were counting the ballots for
the election of president. His theme
] was the ethics of the profession OF
/ teaching. He took occasion to condemn
| the methods of some book agents rep
resenting the publishers of school
books. He laid bare a small bit OF
the nature Of the workings OF this
body of men drawing in measure on
his personal experiences. He de
cried the pernicious activity of the
agents with men who give evidence OF
becoming factors in the educational
world.

YOUNG TEACHER DEAD
Miss Hannah Rasmussen Died
d at Her Home in Saratoga,
SATURDAY Eyeninf.

Last Saturday evening, at the home
! OF her parents in the town of Sara
tOga, occurred the death of Miss
Hannah G. Rasmussen, after an ILL
ness OF about three months. Her last
illness, pronounced by the physicians
consumption, came upon her at the
close OF her school term this spring,
and she grew steadily worse till her

Miss Hannah G. Rasmussen was
the daughter of II. P. Rasmussen, a
well known farmer in the town of
Saratoga. 1t was in this town she
was born, August, 10, 1882. After
completing her studies in the common
schools, she came to Grand Rapids,
and attended high school here in the
old Howe building. After three years
there, she began teaching in the
rural schools in Wood county. Three
terms OF successful teaching followed
each other, with the exception of the
last one which she was not able to
finish this spring, owing to i'll health.
Her illness was not considered danger
GUS till too late to save her life.
There are in the family beside her
father and mother, two sisters, Misses
Ella L. and Mamie Rasmussen. The
deceased was the youngest in the
family, was loved and respected where
ever known, and had bid fair to be-
come we'll known as teacher, as her
abilities were above the ordinary. A
large number of friends join with her
faLAily in their great SORROW. The
funeral was held this morning, Tues
day, from the home of her parents,
and interrment was in Forest Hill
cemetery. j. R. Ragan conducted
the funeral, which was made up of
large number OF sorrowing friends.
