The parents of these pupils have good reason to complain and the pupils have good reason for not doing their work as it should be done.

This, of course, is not satisfactory to either the teacher, or the parent, but as it is now there are three whole schools that are suffering from the overcrowded condition ot the rooms and it seems wise to not want after taking it home.

Charlotte Stire was born at Upper Mount Bethel, Penn., February 3, 1832. When a child she removed to New Jersey, and in 1852 she was married to James Auble, who still survives her. To them were born, six daughters and three sons, seven of whom still live.
