Owing to his growing business in
terests at home, it is doubtful if Mr..
Maginn will teach in Birch Run next
year, but we are sure the patrons of
the schools will long bear him in
grateful memory for the live and
progressive administration of school
affairs that he has given them and we
are also sure the boys and girls of the
schools will always love him for his
genial comradship and honor him for
the constructive work he has done in
shaping their characters for careers
of honor and usefulnes.
