boys. She has four younger brothers and often helped her m other look after them. ••11l probably have problems, but no more than any other teacher/’ Miss Carpenter said. The township trustee who hired tyiss Carpenter is Emmert. Maple, think she’ll make a good! teacher,” he said. Maple also described Miss -Carpenter as “good-looking.”
