FIKEAIEN'S FIELD DAY.

A Good Crowd and a Uood Time
Notwithstanding the Threatening Weather.
The morning of ield day dawned
and the weather was so threatening
that many who had made up their
minds to attend, had about given ud
the idea, when Old Sol shone out
* bright and clear, and while the at-
vj tendance from the surrounding towns
was not large, toward noon a large
number from the rural districts poured
in, and though the attendance was
not as large as last year, the day was
a success.
The Harrison band was in attendance, and during the day dispersed
music which was highly appreciated
and on which were passed many flattering comments.

The ball game between Clare and
Coleman was played in the afternoon,
600 admission tickets having been sold.
The game was too one-sided Lo be
really interesting, but ic being the
first ball game in Ciare this season,
was greatly enjoyed. Below we give
the result of the .game by innings,
lack of space preventing our giving
the entire score sheet:

The balloonist was on the grounds
and had the air ship nearly inflated
when, the guy ropes not being properly fas'tened, the balloon tipped up
from the bottom allowing all the gas
to escape, so the ascension was not
made until six o'clock, after many had
gone home. This failure was in no
way the fault of the management, but
due to an accident or mis-management
of the "Professor."
The dances at night in Duncan's
and Duuwoodie halls were well patronized. As a whole it was a holiday
enjoyed by a large number of people.
Fall Millinery.
Having been unable to sell my millinery stock, I have concluded to con-
etinue my Millinery Business in Clare
and next week go to Chicago to pur-
Chase my fall and winter stock. A
new line of ready-to-wear fall hats arrived Saturday.

Christ Eurhardt is the new janitor.
School re-opens Monday, September

Commissioner Aldrich is taking the

Dr. San ford disinfected the school

There is a debt of a little over forty

' The school lawn has been well cared
for this summer and for the first time
in its history looks well at tfie opening of school.
High school pupils, who find it convenient, are requested to call at the
high school room for classification any
time Friday or Saturday.
This year if pupils do not do satisfactory work, parents will be notified
and then if the work does not improve
such pupils will*be transferred to the
grade where they can do the work.
Last June a time was set when
pupils were to meet their teachers and
learn as to whether or not they were
to be promoted. If such information
was not obtained it was the pupils'
fault.
In the last two years not seventy-
five per cent of those who enter the
high schooljsucceed in completing the
ninth grade during the first year. To
do successful high school work some
study must be done outside of school
hours.. Regular, steady work counts.
Some people think that school work
is made to hard as to be injurious to
the pupil. This is not true except to
the very delicate child and great care
must be exercised oyer such. In the
lower grades it Is not expected,that
any school work be done outside of
school hours, but it is essential that
the child be encouraged to read good
juvenile books and magazines. To be
always present and to keep up the
lessons day by day will make school
work much easier.
. Social gatherings of young people
should be somewhat arranged with
regard to the school work. There is
nothing more injurious to both young
people'and the school thev attend
than for pupils'to be Up half the night
and then on that account to be either

out of school next day or to be there
and to keep, at work only by sheer
force of will. It is this that often
breaks down the health of high school
students, which of course is charged
up to our school system.
School opens next Monday. Entrance examinations' Saturday. Boys
and girls who wish to start the school
year right will be there at the sound
of the flist bell Monday and boing
regular in deportment, will make no
"flunks" during the entire year. Th*e
time has lorn? gone by when all the
education one needs is "readin',
writin'and-'rithmetic." The parents
who had scant schooling and tell the
bdy 6r girl that he' got along with
little and thinks the boy or girl of today can get along with no better
equipment, is sorely mistaken. It
takes an active mind to keep apace
wion the times now, and a good practical education will be indispensable
*the next twenty-five years, so rapidly
will the national and international
intellect have developed. Nearly all
good positions today are held by
men and women who are skilled
in their particular branch. The
person who is specially qualified
is the one Who gets and holds the
desirable position. Olare has an
excellent.9chool, and before the end of
the school year will be on the normal
list, if not "the university, and thus
bur boys and girls can do two years
preparatory Work right at home.
