SHE HAS LEFT US
(Contributed)

kCOntrlDuteul
II was with feeling of regret that
we learned that Miss Imogene Kaiser
one of Deming's most valued teach
ers had resigned and left Demlng
with her mother to live IN Okla-
homa. The suddenness OF her de-
parture caused us TO reflect what
She had been 10 Deming for eleven
long years of untiring effort, that
required jealous patience to educate
and direct the young active minds.
One hears some mother say, Il
have Miss Kaiser TO thank for what
nv child is today; he was slow IN
many of his studies but Miss kai-
ser's patient effort helped him TO
understand That mother speaks
for most mothers and if this is the
case, has she not left the blossom
of her life scattered with the rip
ening youth of DemingY
We are proud of Deming and when
we compare our city to what II was
ten years ago we see the chnge
has been accomplished by lives that
have been woven into II unconsci-
ously.
Then while the general mass
sweeps on to build greater Dem
ing, let the individual stop and con-
slider the price that has been paid
and all that each asks in return
for service is simple gratitude.
We have not forgotten how Miss
Kaiser gave over eleven years oi
her life, cheerfully, standing by ne
in adversely as well as in prosper
ity. She has left us with the living
principles of virtue, patience and
knowledge that time can never de-
I face.
