one's friends think it their duty to molly-coddle a man into thinking he is no longer able to do or to think for himself. They would have him think at 84 he should spend his time in a Boston rocker at his front win- dow, grow moss and barnacles on himself and watch the world go by, all of which he regents but is unable to change. Yes, I live in another world. Only my books and my old tools are familiar. Even the ten dol- lar pen (a gift) with which I write is not like the goose quill pen of long ago. Even so I say this is the best age the world has seen and that I am a part of the world's best gov- ernment and finally I live in the best village, in the best neighborhood and with the best neighbors in America.
The World's Most Advanced Age I was destined to live in the most interesting period of the world's his- tory. I have seen this nation emerge from a great Civil War and spread- ing westward make the land toward the setting sun the bread basket of
sets on the soil of America. I am older than the flying machine, the telephone, the radio, the moving pic- ture and the rocket plane. My hair had turned gray before I saw the diesel engine draw a long train or the linotype print news. The stage coach and the wooden passenger coach have passed out with out dirt and gravel main highways. I have lived to read of a ship flying at greater speed than the speed of light. In my advanced years I have learned that the atom is not the smallest particle of mater as was once taught. I have learned a bit of the power lacked in the atomic bomb. I have seen the teelscope en- larged to search out the secrets of the universe.

The Petries In America
These notes and records of the Johan Jost Petrie family and de- scendants in America were compil- ed by the late Mrs. Frederick Stach- la, of Munnsville, N. Y. Her notes have been checked, so far as we have been able to do so, and we will try to complete her work.

Wm. A. ana wire Susan; James and wife Ellzabeth.
The military record of Wayne Co., N. Y. has the name of Francis Need- ham of Savannah, a Rev. soldier who died 1843 at the age of 76 and was burled on Hiram Abrams' farm which probably was the land Hiram Abrams bought from Wm. A. and Susan In 1845.
What relation was there between these people ?
Elizabeth Daniels who married James M. Needham probably 1830-1 was born in N. Y. state In 1809.
I have no clue to her parentage although there are many Daniels en- tries in the records in county clerk's office at Lyons.
She had a cousin Everand who lived in Elmira, N. Y. whose. fath- er was William H. Daniels and whose mother was Mary Vermillia. (It has various spellings.)
Wm. H. was 55 at the taking of the 1860 census; his wife 51. His known children were: W. Henry Dan- iels who died 1889, buried Elmira; Everand born Jan. 10, 1832, died July 22, 1910, buried | in Detroit, Mich .; Augustus whose age was given as 18 in the same census. Augustus Daniels in 1862 gave his age as 24 when he volunteered for war service.
Walter, Henry and William seem to be family names.
The name Everand has been used several times in the Daniels-Need- ham family. It is the only place I ever have come across it. If. any of my readers have I wish they would tell me.
* There is a tradition that Elizabeth Daniels who married James M. Need- ham was second cousin to Martin Van Buren!
It is true that Richard Daniels who came to Bath, N. Y. from Co- lumbia county married a wife who was related to Martin Van Buren through the Hoes family but I have failed to find anv connection.

The New Order
Today a large proportion of the rural district schools have been merged into the rural central high school where the pupil Is Instructed from kindergarten through all the grades and senior high school to college entrance. The country pupil Is carried to school in a warm con- veyance free of charge. The high school boy no longer tramps over the hills to the old seminary, paying room rent, tuition and board. He rides in a palatial car each morning and night-a great contrast to the day 65 years og when his grand- father carried his week's grub and supplies on his back and wallowed through the drifts of old Barto to the old style seminary after work- ing ali summer as a hired boy to pay tuition and room rent. What a con- trast! At least we have found the "Royal Road to Geometry," where the pupils have only to open their mental mouths while specialized teachers pour in the well chewed' in- tellectual pablum. This same thing applies to our colleges with thou- sands of free scholarships, with ap paratus never dreamed of in my col- lege days, with laboratories, muse- ums, libraries and highly specialized technicians - for teachers, ****

It is a long, long journey from 'the forests of western Germany. to the wilderness of northern Herkimer county, from the old boarding school to our modern central schools . to Hamilton, Columbia and Yale. No other country in the world ever gave a boy born in poverty such golden opportunities to make a man of him- self. Only in America could a Pupin or a Steinmetz be free to grow into the world's greatest scientists.
In a New World at 84
Such and so many have been the changes in my life time that at 84 I find myself living in a new world. The hand of change has touched everything in my life. The play- mates of my youth, of my age or older, have passed to another world except three living in other towns. I no longer yoke oxen to a cart or hitch a horse to a buggy or cutter. These have given way to the gaso- line juggernaut and the flyong ma- chine. The country store with help- ful clerks have given way to wait on yourself stores. The apple paring, corn husking, sugaring off parties and country frollos have given way to moving pictures. The itinerant. dressmaker, travelling shoemaker and · tin cart pedler, no longer visit our homes. Torchlight processions
