SECRETARY OF THE MICHIGAN EDUCATION SOCIETY, DETROIT MICH----FROM ANNE A. ANDREWS READING IN PART "WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A COMMUNITY IN WHICH IGNORANCE AND POVERTY HAVE COMBINED WITH MORAL DEGRADATION IN KEEPING SCHOOL IN A WRETCHED STATE. IN THE SIX YEARS WE HAVE RESIDED HERE THERE HAS BEEN A VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT BUT MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE NEARLY WORTHLESS. I HOPE THE EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH MODEL SCHOOLS MAY BE SUCCESSFUL AND MAY EXERT A VERY EXTENSIVE INFLUENCE."-----GENEALOGY-----COURTESY OF ELLIS I /WHITFORD AUCTION 2018 LOT 369
