well as in general education. He is perhaps most widely known as the joint founder, with Bishop John H. Vincent, and president of the Chautauqua Assembly. He was a stanch friend and supporter of the public schools, as well as the benefactor of several colleges. He became a life member of the National Educational Association in 1880. Mr. Miller was the father of eleven children. His wife and eight children survive him. One of his daughters is the wife of Thomas A. Edison. His youngest son was one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and was killed in the battle of San Juan Hill. Mr. Miller died in New York city, February 17, 1899. Dr. R. V. k. Montfort Dr. Montfort became a member of the National Educational Association in 1892. Altho a physician by profession and many years' practice, he was, in some capacity, connected with the schools of Newburgh the greater part of his life. His education was obtained by a series of severe struggles, but his untiring and ambitious efforts gained for him a position as teacher in a district school at fifteen years of age. He taught for several years in the counties of Dutchess and Putnam, New York, and improved his scholarship by private study in leisure hours. For a few months he taught in a private academy at Newburgh. He then gave up teaching for the study of medicine, and prepared himself for entrance to Albany Medical College, where he graduated in 1856. He at once began the practice of medicine in Newburgh. In 1859 he was elected clerk of the board of education and superintendent of the public schools of that city. In 1862, resigning his office in the schools, he accepted a commission as assistant surgeon in the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth New York Volunteer Infantry, and was with the army of the Potomac in every battle from Chancellorsville to the end of the war. He was promoted for worthy service and qualifications in 1865, and mustered out of service in June of the same year. Dr. Montfort was a member of the Episcopal church and one of the founders and prominent officials of the Y. M. C. A. Doubtless the most important and influential service given to the public by this able and typical American citizen was that of supervision in the common schools of Newburgh for nearly thirty years. He died December 29, 1900, in his sixty-sixth year. benry Raab Henry Raab was born at Wetzlar, Rhenish Prussia, June 20, 1837. He died at his home in Belleville, Ill., March 13, 1901. He was a currier by trade, but had received a liberal education in Prussia. He came to America in 1853, locating at Cincinnati, where he pursued his trade for a short time. Later he went to St. Louis, near which city he managed a farm; but soon settled near Belleville, St. Clair county, Ill., and in 1857 became an assistant teacher in the public schools of that city. His success led to his appointment as city superintendent in 1873. In 1882 he was elected state superintendent of public instruction. At the end of his term he declined renomination, but accepted a second nomination in 1890. In 1894 he was again a candidate, but was defeated. He was connected with the public schools of Illinois for nearly half a century. He was large-minded as an educator, and especially distinguished for liberality and impartiality in his administration of the office of state superintendent of public instruction. Professor Raab became a life member of the National Educational Association in 1884, at the meeting in Madison. Jobn Cyrus Ridge John Cyrus Ridge was born April 6, 1841, on his father's farm near Waynesville, O., where his boyhood was spent. He obtained his early education in the same country school in which he began teaching at the age of nineteen. For a time he attended the Ohio Wesleyan University, and later accepted a position with the publishing firm of Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., of Cincinnati, with whom and their successors, the American Book Co., he remained for more than a quarter of a century. He died at his home at Mount Auburn, Cincinnati, O., on January 31, 1901. Mr. Ridge was one of a famous company of Ohio teachers who had their birth in Clermont county, Ohio, where General Grant was born. He too possessed the marked characteristic that distinguished them all - Rickoff, Hancock, Parker, Page— great executive ability. Several of these men, at the breaking out of the Civil War, enlisted and served in the Union army with the same eminent ability and devotion which they all showed in the great army of peace in which they also mustered and trained. Mr. Ridge's labors as the agent of a great schoolbook publishing house were characterized by forceful ability and high-minded integrity, and were always beneficent for the cause of education, whose highest interests he never failed to serve. He became an active member of the National Educational Association in 1897, at the meeting in Milwaukee. William 3. Williams William J. Williams was born June 4, 1845, in Licking county, Ohio, of Welsh parents. At the age of twelve he began to contribute to his own support, and in 1862 commenced a regular classical course at Denison University, Granville, O. Working between times in the harvest field or teaching school, he finished a seven-years' course and graduated in 1871. He at once took up the profession of teaching and secured the principalship of the schools at Winamac, Ind., remaining there two years, and then going to Rochester, Ind., where he was county superintendent for two terms and city superintendent for nine years. From Rochester he went to Franklin, Ind., in 1886, to take the chair of pedagogy in Franklin College. He held this position for one year and then became superintendent of the Franklin schools. On account of the failing health of his wife, he resigned at Franklin in 1893 and traveled. After the death of Mrs. Williams in November of that year he accepted the principalship of the Marion, Ind., High School for the remainder of the term, and in 1894 became superintendent at Columbus, Neb. This position he held at the time of his death, December 6, 1900. He took a prominent part in the educational work of Nebraska, being a member of the state reading circle board and also president of the Northern Nebraska Teachers' Association one year. Mr. Williams became a member of the National Educational Association at the Denver meeting, in 1895.
