SUDDEN SUMMONS
Mrs. Earl 7. Hopkins, III a Day,
Dies at Rurhmore

Mr.. Earl T. Hopkins, OF Adrian,
died at the home of her sister, Mrs,
W. E. James, a few minutes after s
O'Clock, Monday morning, February
4th, 1907, after 40 illness OF about
twenty -eight hours. Mr.. and Mr..
Hopkins had gone to Rusbmore
Saturday TO remain until Monday.
About midnight saturday she was
seized with violent vomiting spell,
but, after physician had Stteuded
her, she recovered somewhat and did
not appear to be seriously ill. About
one o'clock Monday morning she
was again taken with an attack SIM
liar to that she had sustained before.
The physician was again summoned,
but even then there was apparently
nothing alarming in her condition.
Soon afterward, however, she became
unconscious and remained So until
death ensued. The cause Is at
tributed to the bursting of blood
vessel.
The body was brought to the home
of her mother, Mrs. w. Fl. Prideaux,
in Adrian, Monday forenoon, and
from here the funeral was held
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Gillis. of
Rushmore, assisted by Rev. Hancock,
of Adrian conducting the services.
The eastern Star and Royal Neigh
bors participated in the obsequies.
The floral tributes from lodges and
individuals were profuse and beauti-
full.
Mary Gertrude Prideaux was born
in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, February
II, 1881, and come to Adrian with
her parents. in March 1888. She was
married, July 18th, 1906, to Earl T.
Hopkins, of Bedford, Iowa.
She had not enjoyed the best of
health for several years, but was
never unable to go about the ordinary
duties of life.
Death came in sudden and tragic
manner and it is singular coinci-
dence that she died in the same
h0nsa m which she en- raoantlv
married.
"A mother, husband, five sisters and
four br,thers are left to mourn her
departure. She was beloved by all
both old and young. She was duti-
fill and loving daughter and sister
and an affectionate wife. A large
circle Of friends and neighbors will
also miss her bright and winsome
personality.-Adrian Democrat.

letter to a loved one or get the news
from the old home, and even in the
''good old summertime" it went
against tho grain to take day or
two each week from the furrow or
the field when time meant money
and money came in homeopathic
doses. And so things went along,
the days lengthening into weeks, and
the weeks merging into months, and
months into tagging years, until one
fine morning few years ago-the
bright idea dawned upon the brain of
"Uncle Sam" that he was not using
his geese just right that were laying
golden eggs for him-and then and

MARRIED TEACHERS.

Barre city has bounced all the mar
ried teachers in its public schools be-
cause they are married. Quite con-
troyersy follows as TO the wisdom and
policy Of such action. On the one
hand it Is held that teachers who es-
tablish a family relation cannot give
their thought. labor and energy to
their school duties in the same meas
ure thar unmarried teachers can, and
that. being entitled 10 support by their
husbands. there Is further reason why
preference should be given TO ladies
without that support. The other view
is that the married teacher Is quite
often one OF tried experience, aud as
such apt to be superior TO u young
teacher without experience, so that
she can spare something 10 her home
and husband and still average up well.
II is further contended that merit
should be the only consideration. dis
regarding any supposed claim OF any
candidate, either married or unmar-
ried. for place on the public payroll.
We think the opinion prevails that
married female teachers do not prove
rs generally satisfactory as unmarried
ones. Many reasons conspire to this
condition. Quite likely the feeling
that married woman's first duty is to
establish and maintain a home, to be
her chief care, and that il she fails TO
do so, continuing as wage Garner In
competition with those not so called,
she as somewhat out of her proper
place. figures quite prominently in
creating the sentiment, and prejudices
her work 20 the extent that she Tails to
get full credit for what she really does.
The married female teacher means the
childless home-a matter that is no
longer the sole concern of the husband
and wife.
Much may properly be urged on
either side OF this question, but as
rule we think the teachers best effort
ends with her marriage; that her re-
tention in the public schools thereafter
is detrimental to the school service,
and to the ultimate welfare of society.
In this Barre case. as has been sug-
gested, perhaps it would have been
wiser and better to retain such of the
married teachers as appeared to be
giving satisfaction, if there were such,
drop the rest and make a rule for the
future that married teachers would
not be engaged or kept.

Despite official denial, it appears
true that the New York, New Haven
and Hartford has gobbled up the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, by securing
the controlling stock. The former
company had previously acquired
about all the surface roads, both steam
and trolley, in Southern New England,
but was not estimated equal to the
task of swallowing the B. & NJ, itself
a very large system. Northern New
England has had particular interest
and pride in the Boston & Maine, to
which the splendid management of
President Tuttle has largely contrib
uted. 1t will view the passing Of this
system over to other hands with re-
greet, If not with a measure OF appre-
hension. No doubt the merger will
bring notable advantages in many
ways, to travel and to the public. but
the changes resulting may otherwise
affect some localities whose business
will suffer. The constant tendency OF
the hour is toward railroad consolida-
ton. The b. & M. for years absorbed
smaller roads, now finds itself within
the stomach of a bigger fish. By and
by, as Bellamy predicted, the govern
ment will quietly take over the few
great systems remaining, and the step
will cause no violent wrench or dis
lturbance of then-existing order.
