Table of • Comments . • • • By the Editor One of the penalties of being a newcomer is that one misses the richness and often the authenticity of what has gone before. This week Syracuse lost one of it's most distinguished citizens-a man whose life’s work was completed before this writer came to town. The fol- ; lowing paragraphs were written 1 for him by one who knew Mr. Bachman well: The life of Charles C. Bachman, who lived in or near Kosciusko County. Indiana for 80 years, was _ an example of the best American tradition in smalKwon community sen ice. For many’ years, until old age robbed him of the energy to participate, he was actively engaged in town and county affairs, serving on committees, always interested in civic problems, always concerned with the progress of Syracuse and its surroundings. He was instrumental in establishing the Syracuse Library, with a grant from Carnegie Foundation. ' in 1918; in his position as principal! of the Syracuse schools he put( particular emphasis on the development of a music department, | establishing a band and orchestra many years age; he was active in the old Commercial Club of the ; 19305; he was chairman of the Syracuse .Centennial Celebration of 1935; and he served long and faithfully on the Kosciusko | County Welfare Board. ’ In retrospect, his family will I think of him always as a bom ; teacher, as well as a student and cntic of humanity. His first and | abiding interest in life was people. The keynote of his teaching career! was character development, and he always maintained that what a person knows isn't as important as what he is ( "Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers"). In his children in their youth, this emphasis on the sterner virtues caused impatience and sometimes rebellion, but the example was there just the same. The judgments handed down were sometimes severe and; unyielding, but there was no doubt, after all. that he had set i up a goal to be pursued, however difficult it might be to attain it. Under the influence of this teacher's approach to life, his children' grew accustomed to the careful explanation arid the reasoned solution, accompanied by gestures ■ and illustrations ("John struck James"—with a sweeping gesture to indicate subject acting and object acted upon) S He was a moderate man. with a judicious and cautious approach to the problems of life, whether < personal, social or business. He had! a wide range of interests, including such diverse things as farm-' ing. gardening, political and social ! problems. American history, litera-1 ture (he was a devoted reader of the Atlantic Monthly*. American character and traditions, family genealogy, music, and social-wel-fare work. Although he was bom into a family of orthodox religious faith, he was not a religious man in that same orthodox sense, but rather a rationalist in matters of religion, with emphasis on the moral law and a touch of stoicism in his acceptance of whatever Mfe had in store for him. In his later years he joined the Unitarian Church, a faith that appealed to him largely because of its nondoctrinaire aspect. As he grew older, his sentimental attachment to old friends, old curios, and old times grew stronger. and he liked to comment upon the startling changes that had taken place in the world during his life span. It had been a long passage of time between his horse and buggy days as a country school teacher to the Atomic age. but he was interested in both eras, and his keen and active mind
