LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Americanism in Schools

MT Editor: After the feast of reason and the flow of soul at the special town meeting last Tuesday evening it would seem that there might be few baskets of food for reflection.
 The spokesmen for the teachers at that meeting urged the necessity of teaching Arnericanism in our schools.
 What kind of Americanism do we wish to have taught? Do we choose the pop ular brand that demands the utmost dol lar for the service rendered and does not scruple to cause public expense and in- convenience to further it's ends, or dc we prefer the somewhat old-fashioneo kind that renders proper deference to existing authority that inculcates devo- tion to duty although the present re- l wards may seem inadequate and en- courages altruism and patriotism at the | cost of personal sacrifice?

1852-June, Franklin Pierce nomi-

 stranger in New Hampshire is said to have looked up in bewilderment from the newspaper headlines and asked his tavern keeper about the nominee. "Wail, up here," was the drawing re- ply, where everybody knows Frank and where Frank knows everybody, he's a pretty considerable fellow But come to spread him out over this whole country, I'm afraid he'll be dretful thin in spots."
 New Hampshire democrats were in the inner councils of, their party from the inauguration of Jackson to the Civil war. Their bunker partisanship was as rock-ribbed as their hills, and from 1892 to 1856 the little state never faltered in it's support of the democratic ticket. Granite state democrats were special pets of Jackson, and there is a tradition that when he selected Van Buren as his successor, he slated Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire to succeed Van Buren. That slate was broken first by the de- feat of Van Buren for reelection in 1S40 and finally by the untimely death of Woodbury.

|NTENOENT OF
SCHOOLS IS DEAD
HEALTH WAS FAILING WHEN
HE CAME HERE TO TAKE
CHARGE OF SCHOOLS

Word reached this city Thursday
that John A. Langston, former res
ident of this city, where he served as
superintendent of schools for three
years, had died in hospital at Dix
on, H., early that morning. Death
was caused by an acute attack of
heart disease. At the time of his last
illness Mr.. Langston held the chair
of professor of chemistry in a college
at Mt Morris, Ill.
Mr.. Langston was at the head of
the local schools for three years, CIV
ing up his position here with the
completion of the school year of 1917
18 at which time the board Of educa-
tion had engaged Supt. S. j. Skinner.
Mr.. Langstcn's health had been fail
ing ever since he came to this city
and his last year here gave evidence
of a general break down. After leav-
ing here he went to the home of his
parents at Hastings, and planned to
rest up for a time in the hopes of re-
gaining his health.
Prior to coming to Belding, Mr..
Langston had taught at Jonesville,
this state, one year; Auburn, Ind. four
years; and at Spencer, Ind. for two
years. He received his degree of bach
elor of arts from Earlham college and
the degree of master of science from
Prudue university. He was mem
Der of the Masonic lodge, of Spencer,
Ind, of the chapter of council, at
Jonesville and of Dewitt consistory,
of Grand Rapids.
Surviving him are his parents, at
Hastings, brother in Los Angeles,
California; James M. Langston, for

Belding friends will learn of his
death with genuine regret.
