Governor and the Schools

Hoboken observer.
When Governor Fort said we should
stick to the ''three RS" that our
schools were too much supervised; that
children we're loaded down with too
many books and varieties of education,
he showed that he has been obeervant.
One of the frequent complaints of
teachers, especially those who have
taught several years, is that the chill
dren show disres pect for them. A cas-
ual visit 10 one of the schools is suffic-
lent to verify this assertion. The chill
dren, apparently, are not only disre-
spectful to their teachers, but to their
parents as well.
1t is hard to find a cause for 1t.
There is strong reason TO believe that
the fact that a teacher is not allowed
to punish them, is the basis of 1t.
Children are animals aud must be
shown who is master before they will
be obedient or respectful. If this was
attended to at home, their teachers
would not be annoyed. 1t is not done,
however, and the whole school system
suffers.

MRS. ALFRED c. BEvERS

Mary Naomi Bridges was born at
Thornham, Norfolk county, England,
Nov. s, 1910, and died in this city
June 14th at 1890 a. m. of diabetes,
from which she had suffered for near.
ly four years.
She was married to Alfred G.. Bevers
September 10, 1864. To this union
were born eleven children, five of
whom are now living: George c., of
Philadelphia, Mrs. VIM. Mankey, of
Garden City, Herbert James, Of
Castlewood, Miss Gertrude May and
Mrs. A. Y. Waters, of this city.
Mr.. Bevers came to this country in
1888 and after remaining here for a
year and a half to determine if they
would like it, Mrs. Beevers and
children came to join him. Their
first home in this country was at
CastlewOod, this state, where Mr..
Bevers was pastor of the NJ K.
church.
In 1898 Mr.. and Mrs. Bevers and
two daughters, Misses Gertrude and
Maude, located in De Smet where the
family home has remained ever since.
Six years ago Mrs. Bevers entered
a hospital at Minneapolis and under
went an operation from which she
never fully recovered, About four
years ago diabetes developed and it
was this disease which caused her
death.
The deceased was a true Christian
woman. She first joined the Wesleyan
Methodist church in England before
she was fifteen years of age, and after
coming to this country affiliated with
the Methodist Episcopal church. Her
interest in the Christian work was
equal to that of her husband, and up
on occasions when it was impossible
for him to fill an appointment she
would fill the pulpit for him, and
very acceptably, too. Ia her every
day life she practiced her religion. In
her home affairs she was bright and
cheerful, a loving wife and kind
mother. Because of these good
qualities she was greatly beloved by
her family and held in high esteem
by all acquaintance. All during her
illness, and especially during the last
mouths when almost helpless and
suffering great pain everything that
could be done to relieve and give
pleasure was done for her by loving
hands Of her own family and friends,
Funeral services were held at the
M. E. church and the remains placed
at rest in the De Smet cemetery.
To the sorrowing members of the
family who survive wife and mother
our people extend their deepest sym.
