Several people in Kenosha have re
ceived cards announcing the fact that
she celebrated her one hundred and
first birthday.
The announcement that Mrs. Barnes
Is still living is Of great interest to
people in Kenosha interested in the
school history Of the city and it is Ger
tain that some Of them will pay a visit
to Lockport in an effort to get from
her lot of interesting historical data
Of early schools and early teachers in
Southport. 1t is declared that Mrs.
Barnes has great mine Of memories
of the old days of Southport and she
will undoubtedly be willing to give
these to the local historians in order
that the old days Of the Kenosha
schools may be properly recorded in
the history of Kenosha.

y wasted another two years.

" wasted another two years
One evening in the Uourse of 4 friend
" visit with close friend iii the medi-
cal profession, the father recited his
sons school experiences. The doctor
listened closely, then began to ply ques-
lions which brought out definitely what
had, hitherto, been only vague, unre-
lated observations,
Let me state, parenthetically, that
during these years of unproductive
schooling, when the boy had apparent
ly failed to fit into any school system,
he had learned q great deal by absorp,
tion. Unfortunately, however, his
knowledge was most disorderly, and his
mind was as undisciplined as the man
ners of a Figi Islander.
The physician suggested a possible
error in the boys eyesight as the
cause Of his poor scholarship. The
father doubted it. His charity for his
son was about exhausted, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that the boy was
just pure cussed' and down right
lazy. Nevertheless an oculist was
consulted. The first rough examination
showed that the boy had an eve defect
that was enough to account for his
aversion to the written or printed word
The eye examination, furthermore, re-
moved the suspicion the boy had always
been under concerning the vague head
aches he complained Of on school days,
but which We're noticeably absent on
holidays and in vacation.
I wish that / could write a happy
ending to this tale, but inasmuch as Z
am reporting an actual case, I cannot
do so yet. Too many years had been
wasted and the boy was too old to be
Inundated by being sent back to the
primary grades. In many respects his
information far exceeded that of most
boys of his own age. He has left school
now and is doing as well as does the
average boy with an undisciplined
mind. His greatest hope for the
future lies In the fact that he is be-
ginning to realize his handicap and is
doing some night and correspondence
study to bridge the gap in his school
ing; but he will have to pay heavy
price for what would have been cheap
in his childhood.
Moral:-If you have child who IS
not displaying normal curiosity to
see for himself what is inside Of books,
have his eyes examined before an ire
parable injury has been done.

TAUGHT IN OLD LOG SCHOOL
Not a Single Resident Of Kenosha Re-
calls Work of Old Time Teacher Who
Celebrated Her Anniversary at Lock
perth, I'LL, on Tuesday Evening.

Old school days in Southport were
recalled at Lockport, ILL.,, on Tuesday
evening when a company of friends
gathered at the home Of Mrs. lydia
Carr Barnes to aid her in the celebra-
ton OF the one hundred and first ami
versary of her birth. Mrs. Barnes was
one of the merry members of the party
for with a hundred years of life She is
still able to retain all of her faculties.
During the evening she told many in
teresting incidents of her life and many
of these conferred about the early DAYS
in the old log school in Southport.
Mrs. Barnes as Lydia Carr, was one
of the first school teachers in this see
tion of Wisconsin. She was born ln
Onodago county, New York, March %.
1914. Her ancestors were prominent
IN England, among the number being
Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset. Her
grandfather served in the war of the
revolution Mrs. Barnes came to
Southport in 1888 and when the old log
school house was opened she was one
Of the first teachers to have charge of
it. Among her students were many men
and women who afterward became
prominent in the life Of Kenosha, but
when efforts were made today to find
some one who had been pupil in the
OIL school when Mrs. Barnes was its
teacher it was found that there was no
one living in the city who could recall
tho work Of the pioneer teacher in
Kenosha. Mrs. Barnes taught for Ave
years in the first school house in South
PERT. She left Kenosha in 1868 aud
removed to Lockport, ILL.,, where she
has since resided.

WHO WAS MOST BLIND?

A Wisconsin man has son who,
while displaying most of the signs Of al
least ordinary intelligence, had always
done very poorly in his school work.
Outside of school hours he would bare
" look at book, although he would
urge others to read to him by the hour.
The father, man in comfortable
circumstances, feeling his own incom-
potency and being accustomed in his
business to hire the best assistance he
could employ, withdrew the boy from
the public school and sent him to an
expensive private school. Tt took a
couple Of years for the father to re-
ailze that the boy WASH i doing well
there either. He tried another and
still higher priced school and practical

Mr.. Dixon at Normal.

II has been said by one who knows;
"a lecture must not only illuminate, it
must inspire" and we know of no one
on the lecture platform who possesses
this power to greater degree than Mr.
Frank Dixon. a man of splendid per-
sonality, exalted eloquence and persua-
sive logic, he handled his subject, "a
Square Deal, in a manner that chal-
lenged the admiration of his audience.
Among the striking passages in his lee
ture may be cited the following: The
individual man must have the same
chance to succeed that the richest cor
poration has-just that and no more"
The administration Of justice must be
ted-above the level of financial in
fluence. Progress lies not in violent
revolution, but in the orderly develop
ment of forces even now active along the
line of historic growth"
The lecture throughout was a force
full presentation of great problem, but
interspersed with humor and the finest
satire.

ATTENTIONS!
ALI Members of Company M, K.
N. c., Urged to Be at Armory
Wednesday Night at z PM.

The regular annual inspection of The
local Company of Militia will be held al
the Armory Wednesday evening at :
O'Clock, by Captain Burton. of the United
States Army Outof the ihirty-six com
panies in the State. Richmond headed
the list with the highest average at last
years inspection. So, it goes without
saying. we have company here of
which we should feel Justly proud, and
one that should receive our encourage
ment. Any young man so desiring, can
receive a splendid education along mill
tarY lines free of charge, which is some
thing every young man in The country
should know.
1t is earnestly requested that every
member of the company be present.
full attendance is desired, not only
in order TO maintain our splendid
record for last year, but to protect
the State from loss. For each man alb
sent the State loses $12 so in pay from
the Federal Government. Every mem
Der of the company is honor-bound to be
present at this inspection, and besides,
every man who absents himself runs the
risk of having to go to camp without
pay. So, turn out in full, boys, that
your good record may be kept up. We
are proud of you, so don't disappoint
your friends. The public is cordially
invited to attend this inspection and see
for themselves what the company can do
Sergeant E l. Shelton, of the United
States Army, has bsen.withth local Mi
litia Company few days. He says that
Governor McCreary is highly elated over
this company passing best inspection in
the State last year. He says he wants to
meet every member of the Company at
the Armory, Wednesday night, March

Death of Jno. E. Creenleaf.

A death which caused universal sor-
row in this community is that of Mr..
John E. Greenleaf. who passed quietly
into that dreamless sleep on Saturday
March 9th, at his home on Lancaster
Averue.
He had been in declining health for
couple of years, but with his cheerful
disposition and courage that was charac-
teristic of the man, he would not allow
his suffering to interfere with the hap
piness of those around him.
| Mr.. Greenleaf was born in Lancaster
Sept. Is, 1850, and was the son of VIM.
Greenleaf and Lucinda Stevens. He
came to Richmond in 1870 and during
the long years that have followed, no
man has stood higher in the communi-
ty, or built up for himself character
further above reproach. He was elect
ed book-keeper and teller of the First
National Bank, and years later succeed
ed Mr.. Letcher as cashier of the Bank
NOW known as the Southern National
which position he occupied at the time
of his death.
Mr. Greenleaf was first married to
Miss Annie Busby and after her death to
Miss Ida Jennings, a daughter of DIR.
and Mrs, VIM. Jennings, of this county
OF this union three children were born,
two of whom, Judge j. j. Greenleaf and
Miss Van Greenleaf survive him.
Mr.. Greenleaf belonged to the order
of Elks and was Mason, being Knight
ed in Richmond Commandery August,
1875, and had filed nearly all the posi-
tions of honor in the various bodies He
became Master in 1878, High Priest of
Richmond Chapter in 1882 and again in
1899, and was elected Commander OF his
Commandery in 1880.
Mr.. Greenleaf was member of the
Presbyterian church and for many years
has been one of its most faithful mem
bers. Perhaps no man in the county
had more friends, and justly so. Al
ways man of modest, retiring dispose
ton, but genial and hospitable, he was a
loved figure in the town. AS husband
and father he was indulgent and affec
Tomato. the devotion of his only daugh-
ter being source of great pleasure tc
him.
The funeral was held on Sunday after
noon at the home and was conducted by
DR.. r. L. Telford, of the First Presby-
terrain church, after which the body wa.
laid to rest in the Richmond Cemetery
where the grave was hidden beneath q
mass of fragrant flowers-love's offer

On Sunday, February 2, 1915, Mrs.
Harriet Todd, wife OF Mr.. Geo. b. Todd,
of near Spnedwtll. departed this life at
