still survives him. In 1857 Mr.. Ea-
gan with his family moved to Michi-
gan, settling on what is known as
the Hunt farm in Birch Run township
where they lived until 1872 when the
farm southwest of Clio became their
place OF residence. Here the FAMILY

Ohio the couple moved to Pawnee
county Kansas, near the city of
Wichita where they lived about three
years. moving from there to the farm
home near County Line, in Birch Run
township about twenty-five years age
For the past eight years this village
has been their place of residence.
Mr. Chase was the father of three

and settling near Huron in Erie coun-
ty. Thirty-three years ago next
month they moved to the farm west
of County Line which was their
home until two years ago when they
moved to Clio to enjoy a well earned
rest. At the time the family moved
here from Ohio the farm on which
they settled was practically in the
wilderness" but from continued hard
work and well directed efforts, one

family's success.

the disease which took her away.

A FEW "DONT'S" FOR
CRITICAL SCHOOL PATRONS

Being oilly too well aware of the
fact that patrons of the school are
COO prone tc criticize the teachers
OH hcarsay" evidence, we offer be-
low a few "Dont's" that may cause
would be critics to think twice be-
fore expressing their views
Do not fail to make allowance for
slight exaggerations when hearing
of FRANKS in school,
Do not accuse the teacher of un-
due favoritism. If she is kinder to
one child than another it's because
that one does not take advantage of
the liberty allowed him. This is
simple Justice.
Do not tell the teacher that. Willie
will not lie She may know better
Do not condemn the teacher with
out a fair hearing. This is accord
ed to even the worst criminal.
There are usually two sides to the
story.
Do not send a scathing note to
tie teacher by Nellie, the contents
Of which she knows. Her agrees
sive look of triumph is not sooth
ing and the teacher is only human.
Do not make unfavorable comment
upon the methods of the teacher in
the presence of your child. Send
him to carry in wood while you are
doing so, If it must be done.
Do not expect the teacher to I'M
derstand Jimmies disposition the
first day. You have studied it six
years and there are still kinks in
it which you have failed to straight
EN- out.
Do not plead lack of time to visit
the school. There is no excuse for
Sinking a duty.
Do not reproach the teacher with
the fact that Tommy has not learn
ed a single thing the entire year."
She Is not responsible for his lack
of brains.
Do not send a verbal request to
have Jennie's seat changed There
is often no vacant seat and one
change usually means at least a half
dozen.
Do not forget that the teachers in
terest in your child is personal. She
will do more to help him than any
one except yourself.
Do not expect the teacher to man
age without friction a child whom
you yourself have never been able
to control.
Do not insist that the teacher is
keeping your child back through
spite. She will hardly risk her rep
utation as an instructor to crafty
a personal grudge, however disar
greeable the child may be.
Do not forget that the parents owe
a duty to the teacher just as surely
as the teacher does to the child.
