Jacob Thomas, of Remington, is attending the teachers’ institute and this makes the 37th year that he has attended ja. similar function, with possibly one or two omissions. He will teach school the coming year at No. 5 in Carpenter, making the tenth year for that school, although they were not consecutive. He has taught 24 years in Carpenter township and a dozen or thirteen ip White county. Among those whom he has taught are some quite illustrious and successful people, and Jake modestly takes considerable pride in this fact. While he was teaching in White county he had a student named Van Camp, who was unusually bright in mathematics and who used to help him grade arithmetic papers and in the instruction of pupils. Van Camp entered the employ of the Dayton cash register company and became the inventor of a device that materially, changed the cash register business. He was retained in the employ of the Dayton company and in addition to a big salary receives a royalty on every cash regis-’ ter sold. This is pleasing to Mr. Thomas. There are npw teaching school a number whom Jake has helped to educate and among them are Etta and Arthur Rolands and Harriet Brown. Thirty-seven years is a long time to teach school without a let-up.
