+The following resolutions were

S committee : 
5 “The retirement of our esteemed 
F fellow townsman, Edward A. Lane, 
= from the highly responsible posi- 
tion he has held, as a member of 
the Sehool Board, for more than 
twenty years, calls for some expres- 
F sion from the people more strik- 
ie - ing and impressive than the mere 
noting of the fact in the Records of 
the Town. Unselfish, unrequited 
, service merits some testimonial con- 
veying the good will of those who 
have profited by his diligence and 
fidelity. Modest and unassuming, 
- conspicuous by his silence, like the 
hidden forces of Nature in the 
_ Springtime, quietly preparing for 
_ the blossom and fruitage to come 
later. 
“The many weary hours passed 
within the space of time given to 
this particular task, all of this rush- 
es to our minds as we recall the 
many changes that have taken 
place in school methods within the 
period he has served. 
“Pericles, the greatest of Grecian 
statesmen, declared that ‘The love 
of honor is the one feeling that 
- never grows old; it is not the ac- 
quisition of gain that gives the 
greatest pleasure, but the enjoy- 
ment of honor.’ Putting aside any 
thought of personal gain, unmind- 
ful of criticism, he pursued the even 
tenor of his way, calmly awaiting 
the verdict of time to justify and 
_ approve his course of action. May 
_ his example prove an incentive to 
the rising generation to higher 
thoughts and nobler lives.

“Home Culture’’ Subject of Address 
Before Parent-Teacher Asso- 
ciation. 
The April meeting of the Man- 
chester Parent-Teacher association 
was held at the Price School Wed- 
nesday evening. It was voted that 
the association hold an entertain- 
ment in the near future, the nature 
of which should be determined by 
the committee appointed by the 
chair. Following is the committee: 
Mrs. Beaton, Mire. Frank Floyd, Mrs. 
Prest, Mrs. Rowe, Mrs. Hooper, 
Miss Goldsmith, Mrs. Connors, Mr. 
Mackin, Mr. Parsons and Mr. Mon- 
roe. After a selection on the Vie- 
trola recently purchased by the 
Priest school, Mr. Mackin present- 
ed the speaker of the evening, Rey. 
William H. Rider of Essex, who de- 
livered an address upon ‘‘Home 
Culture.’’ At the outset, he spoke 
upon the important place which the 
school system holds in our republic 
and, more especially, upon parental 
influence and its effect upon the 
pupils in school. Mr. Rider told 
an amusing anecdote in connection 
with this that brought his idea 
home more forcibly, perhaps, than 
hours of weighty argument. <A 
man planted seeds in his garden 
which, at the beginning of growth, 
seemed quite similar and were 
treated alike. After a while, how- 
ever, differences began to show and 
he discovered that some were pump- 
kin seeds and some were squash 
seeds, so he cultivated each acecord- 
ing to its nature. Mr. Rider said, 
‘‘Make sure that you are not try- 
ing to have the teacher develop a 
squash out of your pumpkin.”’ 
Mr. Rider spoke of the~ ser- 
ious place in modern life that home 
eulture must hold and said that 
in the present day we have more 
houses than homes. The American 
tendency to substitute “‘something 
just as good’’ is felt nowhere more 
than in the home and parents are 
inclined to shift essential parts of 
parentage to teachers, physicians 
and lecturers. Society at its best 
can never supersede the home. 
side of home

The pleasureable 
culture consists largely 
chumminess with his father 
a daughter’s filial love for her 
mother, and Mr. Rider dwelt upon 
the immeasurable infiuenece which 
parents have over their children. 
After the address Mrs. Walter 
Calderwood and Mrs. J. Davis Bak- 
er rendered a piano duet, ‘‘ Boston 
School Regiment March,’’ and an- 
other selection was played upon the 
Victrola.
