t RUKAL HIGH SCHOOLS.
"* The Recent Law Regulating Them
in Effect Next Month.
State officials are receiving numerous
-queries from citlzeDS ot various sections of the state relative to tbe act of
the last legislature providing Tor the
establishment of rural high schools.
In some sections of the state the impression prevails that the bill did not
^become a law. while in others the
ijprovisions of the measure are not
understood.
The bill which passed and will become operative on September 5, provides for or rather permits the
establishment of rural high schools in
townships which do not haye within
their limits an incorporated village or
city. The provisions under which
Butfh schools may be established are
that a petition signed by not leas than
one-third of the taxpayers of -.he township must first be presented to the
township board. Upon the receipt of
fiuch a petition it is the duty of the
board to submit the question to a vote
of the qualified electors of the town-
Ship at a special election to be called
for that purpose within 60 days from
the date of the receipt of the petition.
If a majority of the electors vote in
favor ot the proposition, the act provides that a board of three trustees
Shall be elected at the succeeding
annual township election. The township clerk is to be clerk of the board,
and the treasurer is to be its treasurer.
It is made the duty of this board of
J-nistees to determine the location of
fcoe high school, over which the members shall have full supervisory control. The location" is to be as near
the center of the township as practicable. The course of study to be
established must have the approval of
the superintendent of public instruction, and president of the Agricultural
• college, lt is also made the duty of
the trustees to estimate the amount of
tax necessary to support the school,
^ the salaries of teachers, make general rules for the support of the
-school, etc.
It is provided by the act that a majority of the taxpayers of the town-
6bip shall determine the amount to be
expended on the school grounds and
'buildings; they may bond the township for this amount, with the restriction that tbe bonds shall not exceed
^S,000, and shall rttn for a period of
#J pot more than ten years.   The
school is to be under the supervision
of the county school commissioner,
and in all things not especially provided for in the act, shall be subject
to the general laws of the state.
The idea is that the rural high
school shall provide instruction for
pupils above the eighth grade only.
The other schools of the township
shall be entirely separate from tbe
central high school so far as control is
concerned.
Young Man, This is for You.
1. Saye a part of your weekly earnings, even if it be no more than a
quarter-dollar, and put your savings
monthly in a savings bank.
2. Buy nothing till you can pay for
it, and buy nothing you don't need.
A young man who has just got
enough sense to follow these rules will
haye taken the first step upward to
success in business. He may be compelled to wear a coat a year longer,
eyen if it be unfashionable; he may
have to live in a smaller house than
some of his young acquaintances; his
wife may not sparkle with diamonds,,
nor be resplendent in silk or satin, just
yet: his children may not be dressed
like dolls or popin-jays; his table may
be plain but wholesome, and the whizz
of the beer or champagne cork may
never be heard in his dwelling; he
may have to get along without the
earliest fruits or vegetables;, but he
will be better off in every way for this
self-discipline.
Yes, he may do all these without
detriment to his manhood, health or
character. True, empty-headed folks
may sneer at him and effect to pity
him; but he will find that he has
grown stout-hearted and brave enough
to stand the laugh of the foolish. He
may become an independent man.
He never owes anybody, and so he is
no man's slave. He has become master of himself, and a master of himself
will become a leader among men, and
prosperity will crown his every enterprise.
Young man, life-a discipline and
life's success comes from hard work
and early self-denial; and hard-earned
success is all the .more sweet at the
time when old years climb upon your
shoulders and you need propping up.-*-

METROPOLITAN PASTIME.
New York City's Own and Only
Circus,
Anyone liying in this community
who imagines that those who live in
the largest cities have any particular
advantage over them in the matter of
amusements may be assured that there
is one element of enjoyment that is
quite as available to people living in
the smaller towns and cities as to
those whose home is in the metropolis.
Reference is made to the circus.
There is but one circus tbat exhibitB
in New York citv—the Adam Fore-
paugh & Sells Brothers' consolidated
shows. This year they exhibited at
Madison Square Garden and then went
to Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston,
where they repeated the enormous success they had made in New York, it
was the opinion of ail the New York
newspapers that tbis show this year
was by far tbe best circus that had
ever been seen in the metropolis.
There are countless features in the
show, all of which are exhibited on
tour through the country precisely the
same as they were iu New York.
Owing to the extraordinary magnitude and magnificence of these consolidated shows, the railroads desiring
to give the people HviDg along their
line an opportunity to see them, will
make low excursion rates to them
when they exhibit at Mt. Pleasant on
Tuesday, August 13.
The station and steamboat agents
everywhere will give all the necessary
information as to time of train and
rates of fare. The trains will leave
early enough so as to get the excursions into town in time to see the
grand free street parade, which is undoubtedly the most superb display
of spectacular splendors that have
ever been seen upon the streets' of tbe
American cifcie**.
Notice.
A. S. S. Eally will be held at the
north end of Lake George, on August
14th, 1901, for tbe purpose of organizing the District S. S. Association.
All Clare Oo. Sunday schools are cordially invited to attend, bringing lunches, song books, and hammocks. We
anticipate a pleasing program and a
good time together.

WOODMEN PICNIC.
Big
Arrangements  Made For   a
Time at Ithaca.
All arrangements for the big Wood
men basket picnic have been made.
Bates have been secured on railroads—
Grand Trunk from Greenville, and the
Ann Arbor from Durand and Clare.
Fare will be less than half usual rates.
Keyes Bros, will be on the grounds
with lady aeronaut to give a balloon
ascension.
All bills are out announcing the attractive features of the day. Full
program will be published next week.
Woodmen teams from Owosso, St,
Johns, Greenville, Lakeview, Stanton,
Edmore and Eureka have signified
their intention of being here to take
part in the state drill. Keep the affair in mind and make arrangements
to attend.
Wm, Arnell, senior, of Beaverton,
held on a charge less than murder,
changed his plea at Glanwin last week
from not guilty to guilty, and was
fined $200.
Miss Sarah Temple and John
Yeneen, both of Temple, were married in this city Tuesday, the cere-
fttony beiner performed by the Bev.
Dr. Johnstone, at the Presbyterian
parsonage. The bride is a daughter
of Mark Temple, whose name 'the
village bears.—Cadillac New and ■Ex*
press.  '
During the'storm recently lightning
struck the court house at Gladwin,
knocking down the two prisoners
confined in the jail in the basement.
One of these was the notorious Will
Arnell, who is about to be tried for
the murder of his wife and child.
Both prisoners recovered in a few
minutes. Judge of Probate Smith
who was leaning against an iron awning post, was badly shocked, but soon
recovered.
A newspaper editor is blamed with
a lot he can't help, such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving
news about some people, and ignoring
the coming and going of others, and
even to the misspelling of words in
poorly writen articles handed In to the
ot&ae tor publication, etc. He simply
prints the news he can flnd. Some
people inform him of such things
while others do not, An editor should
not be expected to know the names
and residence of all your uncles, aunts
and cousins if he should see them get
off the train. Tell him about it. It's
news that makes a paper, and every
man, woman and child can be and
ought to be an associate editor.—J_3x.
