One o£ the Finest Buildings in the
State.
g,  -4
Clare may well be proud of her new
school building, for considering the
'size of the town, it is one of the finest
|d the state.
The old building was destroyed by
flre September 26th and In four days
from that date pupils were again at
work in eight different buildings, scattered all over the city. Texts were
furnished at about one-half the usual
cost to the pupil, new seats were purchased, and the work was kept on all
winter and up to the present time.
Bffit nest Monday morning there will
fog great rejoicing as the new building
is to be occupied at that time.
the present structure is a nine
room, red brick building with a high
school seating over 100, a superintendent's office, a recitation room and a
laboratory. The woodwork is oak finish, the walls are tinted green with
iSpeam ceilings, the halls being tinted
with a soft shade of pink. All rooms
are equipped with slate blackboards,
wired for electric, lights, electric bells
tot the passing of classes, chipped
.glass in inside doors, fan furnace heat,
Oratories in an annex to the base-
meat, &0125 bell, single seats for all
ircoms, elegant teachers* desks,—these
are but parts of the substantial and
ikSGlifcifal building now equipped for
sssapatton. The partition walls are
fipltfi this time and thus the danger of
Ciay serious fire is greatly lessened.
A'H materials put into the building-
Oi?s of fiwt class quality, and all "assert
&tat the.workmanship has been the
$mul of &te material used. George
■SSobjftGto & Sons of Kalamazoo are
$fiG eolifcwsiors, %M Arm being repie-
CSfiUfesfi here by Alfred Bickman, and
featweea him and $he board of ednca-
6Iqb there seems to have been' the
■ cacat 'cordial relations.
& vory reasonable amount of the
Qmtx has been don© by local workmen,
Bsmty every mechanis anfi laborer to
2toi?3 who applied four work having re-
Solved ifo A. J. Doner ty & Sioas had
tho eoiaferaci with Slclimsa 8s Bona
$0 jtaaSsh the hardware and E\ E,
Doherty did the wiring, .while Dr.
Carpenter had the carting and hauling.
Taken altogether, building, grounds
and equipment, the property is worth
$25,000 and when all is completed
the district will be $10,000 in debt.,
Sunday, May 19, will doubtless be
the day when all are invited to visit the
building an3 see for themselves what it
is. This invitation is perfectly general. People from the country as well
as from town are invited to spend a
short time in looking through one of
the finest school buildings in central
Michigan and even those of our townspeople who were never in the old
building are invited. The invitation
is to all.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the board of education for the wisdom they have shown in thus laying
substantial foundations upon which
in time to come the young people of
Clare may ground the basis of their
character in a good eduoation, and we
believe the time has come when all
young people ought to have at least a
high school education before considering themselves equipped for life's
work.    —
As soon as the grounds are cleared
of the waste material accumulated
during its construction, the Sentinel
will reprodace a picture of the building for the benetltof such of our readers as may not have an opportunity to
see it,
