Cluirkis c i Horn, y A CHARLES HENRY HORN, Superintendent of the Trav- erse City Scliools. was born in a log ' house in Eaton Co., Midi.. January 0, lM(i5. Duringhis boyhood days his educational advantages were contined to a little red school house in the country district, but it was here that his ambi- tion for an education began. As he was not very strong physically, his teacher sug gested to his father the advisa- bility of sending him to a High School. His father was pleased with the suggestion, and accordingly Mr. Horn en- tered the Charlotte High School at the ag-e of sixteen, where he graduated, valedictorian of his class, in 1885. Duringf the early part of Mr. Horn ' s struggle for an education, he admits that he fell in love frec uently and des- perately. He determined, however, that he would not let any girl stand between him and an education. The re- sult was that he lost all the girls, as he would not ask them to wait for him, thinking they should take the hint without being- asked. Before finishing the High School Mr. Horn taught one term in a district school and after graduation he accepted a position as teacher in the grades at Vermontville, Mich. During the winter he was severely afflicted with the rheu- matism, so that he was obliged to give up teaching, and in the si)ring left Michigan for California, thinking that a change of climate would benefit him. Returningf from Cali- fornia much improved in health, he taught school winters and worked on the farm summers for nearly two years. About that time he was employed by the Home Missionar} ' Society, and sj)ent one summer in Dakota doing missionary work.

He began his work there in the following- September, and in a few months had won the hearts and confidence of both students and facult}-, when, on the resig-nation of Principal Charles McKenny of the Central State Normal, the State Board of Education again showed their hig h appreciation of Mr. Grawn by electing him to succeed Prin. McKenny. He entered upon his duties as Principal of that 3 ' oung ' but vigorous institution in April last. The reception given him by the students, teachers, and citizens of Mt. Pleasant is prophetic of a long- and successful administration in this important position.
