to lift the chest phoned for help and
it was fifteen minutes before Mr,
Tucker could be released.

beautiful with colorful boquets oi
tulips and spirea.
While all were seated at the large
tables, toasts were given to those
who did not complete the year with
the staff, Misses Boynton and Wright;
also to those who. will not return for
next year, Miss Allyn and Mr. Kitchin; and for those who expect to met
again in September to continue the
work together.
Miss Allyn was also presented with
a set of beautiful goblets as a gift
honoring her approaching marriage in
June.
A social hour was enjoyed as all
forgot their daily tasks and entered
into the jollity of the occasion as if
they were students instead of instructors. All regret the school yeai
passing so rapidly and that the day
for their departure for the summer is
but slightly more than one week
away.

Highly Respected Educator Lays Down His Pen
In Tribute to His Worth
BY CHANCEY JONES
As a teacher Mr. Aldrich was of
the Woodbridge N. Ferris type. He
inspired his pupils to be and do their
best by his example and enthusiasm,
He not only kept step with the march
of education but was often in advance. Much attention Is now being
given to Child-Health and Health
Habits. He stressed them as early aa
in the late ninetiesi I recall many
of the eloquent talks of his but none
more so than at a meeting of rural
school officers in the Clare high
school Auditorium. It was a plea for
the children of the rural school district. I was surprised at the depth ot
feeling in a purely unselfish phase of
education.
"Should a teacher keep out of
politics? has been answered abstractly in the affirmative, the lives ot
'Ferris and Aldrich furnish an answei
in the concrete. Three years ago at
the Institute at Farwell a prominent
Lansing educator observed, "Mr.
Aldrich is not only a great leader in
school work but he is smart in politics." In 1926 an army map showed
US-27 extending north from St. Louis
to Prudenville, to the east of Mt,
.Pleasant, Clare, and Harrison. I told
him the map had been seen. He saw
the danger to the hopes of Clare and
Harrisofli and went into action at
once. Soon others understood and
delegations were hurried to Lansing.
Twenty-nve years as School Commissioner enabled him to know personally over two thousand eight grade
graduates, Some of them had seen
him. enter their school room for seven
or .eight years consecutively. Many of
them still live in the county and they
still feel a thrill when those days are
recalled. Many a teacher has been
too busy to observe his entrance'sine)
suddenly an excited voic' would break*
out; "Miss Smith, Mr. Aldrich is
/here.."., Yes, those were lutypy occasions.. "During that twenty-fiVe years of
service-,'how'^ many school officers
learned. th£ wisdom* ot his. ways! A

I am sure these officers are with me
iii words of appreciation.
The news of his death did not get
to the majority of the'rural teachers
in time for them to attend the funeral. Even Supt. Kennedy of Clare
Public Schools did not learn of hia
death in time. For those who could
not be there may I write something;
we have in common in our expressions of love and esteem.
This is not history. Rather is it
a tribute of friendship from each onq
of a host of friends, each o£;whom,cat|
truly say, "He was my Friend, faith
ful and just lo me."
In the matter of hia burial we wlij

BY DOROTHY SCRIMGER
Once more the angel of death has
made a visitation in our midst, this
time taking one of our most highly
esteemed citizens, a man who devoted his entire life to education and
promoting the general welfare of
Clare county, and a man, who by his
kindness and simplicity endeared him
self to all—Asa H. Aldrich. For there
is not a one of us but who will miss
him deeply, the more as time goes
o,n, his cheery smile and kindly voice
were known throughout the county.
October 29, 1934, Mr. Aldrich was
stricken with paralysis, making it im
possible for him to continue on with
the work he loved so well. A great
deal of his time has been spent away
from his home since, in an effort to
regain his health. After spending the
past winter in Detroit as a guest of
his niece, it was with much anticipation and a feeling of gladness that
Mr. Aldrich returned to hie home
town April 29th. Less than two days
after his arrival, he was stricken with
■paralysis a second timei, passing
away less than two weeks after his,
homecoming. His life sketch foi
lows:
Asa H. Aldrich was born in Mill
brook, Mecosta county, Michigan,
September 16, 1875, and passed away
May 12, 1936, at the age of 60 years,
8 months and 26 days. The early
days of his childhood were spent
among the logging camps, of Mecosta
county! While but a young lad, he
came to Clare county add received
his education; in the Harrison City
schools. He, continued his' education
at the Ferris Institute and Central
State Teachers' College, graduating
'from the latter. He began his* teaching career in the Azelton school, Clare
county, in 1891, continuing this worK
for several years. Even at this early
date,' his splendid ability as an educator, soon made itself known through-
i,out the "country. Mr: 'Aldrich "'•jvafj-
sxiperhitendent of the' JHafrison Ci$
Schools-for many year*), At one'time"

Six people were injured Sunday
morning on Vernon Hill, when a rear
tire of the car blew out causing the
auto to leave the pavement and roll

route to Sunfield, Mich.
Those injured were Max A., William,
and Kenneth Wickham and Harold
Middaugh, of Sunfield, Iris Pierce, of
Lake Odessa, and Marguerite Brod-
beck of Woodberry.
All were taken to the Clare County
General hospital, where they were
treated for severe lacerations and

Ferris type. He inspired his pupils to be and do their best by his example and enthusiasm, He not only kept step with the march of education but was often in advance. Much attention Is now being given to Child-Health and Health Habits. He stressed them as early aa in the late ninetiesi I recall many of the eloquent talks of his but none more so than at a meeting of rural school officers in the Clare high school Auditorium. It was a plea for the children of the rural school district. I was surprised at the depth ot feeling in a purely unselfish phase of education. "Should a teacher keep out of politics? has been answered abstractly in the affirmative, the lives ot 'Ferris and Aldrich furnish an answei in the concrete. Three years ago at the Institute at Farwell a prominent Lansing educator observed, "Mr. Aldrich is not only a great leader in school work but he is smart in politics." In 1926 an army map showed US-27 extending north from St. Louis to Prudenville, to the east of Mt, .Pleasant, Clare, and Harrison. I told him the map had been seen. He saw the danger to the hopes of Clare and Harrisofli and went into action at once. Soon others understood and delegations were hurried to Lansing. Twenty-nve years as School Commissioner enabled him to know personally over two thousand eight grade graduates, Some of them had seen him. enter their school room for seven or .eight years consecutively. Many of them still live in the county and they still feel a thrill when those days are recalled. Many a teacher has been too busy to observe his entrance'sine) suddenly an excited voic' would break* out; "Miss Smith, Mr. Aldrich is /here.."., Yes, those were lutypy occasions.. "During that twenty-fiVe years of service-,'how'^ many school officers learned. th£ wisdom* ot his. ways! A second Henry Clay to often needed as f Life Sketch of Asa H. Aldrich ASA H. ALDRICH .Peace-Maker in School-Board history. I am sure these officers are with me iii words of appreciation. The news of his death did not get to the majority of the'rural teachers in time for them to attend the funeral. Even Supt. Kennedy of Clare Public Schools did not learn of hia death in time. For those who could not be there may I write something; we have in common in our expressions of love and esteem. This is not history. Rather is it a tribute of friendship from each onq of a host of friends, each o£;whom,cat truly say, "He was my Friend, faith ful and just lo me." In the matter of hia burial we wlij try notito envy our Sister County to the south. Rather may we> dedicate that small portion of Riverside Cemetery, already consecrated by ou honored dead, as a part of that |
