The Sentinel has not strictly adhered to the subscription regulation,
"$1.00 if paid in advance; $1.25 when

necessary to make this regulation.

however, who will call and pay up by
the 10th of March may do so at $1.00
per year.   After that dafe, $1.25.

add co the efficiency of the school. The

Lent begins on Wednesday, February 28, and will end on Sunday, April
15, which is Easter day, This is a season of fasting and abstinance from
worldly pleasures with all good Gatho-
ilies. Various degrees of strictness
have jprevailed in the church as regards the manner of observing Lent.
Public amusements such as plays' and
dancing parties are unsuitable at this
time, and people are enjoined to
increased diligence in almsgiving and
deeds of charity.   "
The school entertainment Friday
eyening was a complete success in every particular, and every thotful person in attendance, as be witnessed the
product of tbe training pupils get in
our public schools, must have had "tht
little red school house on the bill" and
its methods of instruction in his mind
and in sharp contrast to our present
excellent schools and methods of instruction. It has taken years to learn
it, but our teachers have became convinced that there are but few boys now
who study better with their trousers
filled with bumblebees, or just after
having taken a goodly portion of
''strop-oil." As the writer watched
the manner in which those little first
and second graders kept the march and
reflection back—well, several years, any
way,—he had a feeling or regret tbat
he had not the school privileges that
are today within reach of all. And
right here, taxpayers, let us express
the thot, if you must, kipk on the road
tax, the dog tax, the township tax,
county tax, but step up to the proper
official and pay your school tax without a murmur, for when the schools
are neglected, the God-given rights
and liberties of the masses are at
stake. We cannot well go into detailed mention on the various numbers
on th'e program, but we are glad the
opera house was full to its utmost capacity and that many parents who almost never visit the school, felt theii
blood fairly tingle in their veins as
that little boy or girl of their's per-
formed his or her part so well. In the
cantata, the leading child part was
taken by Master Norris Elden, and
so well did he take his part that
naught but favorable comment has
been passed on his efforts, The young
ladies who took part in the Scenes
from Joan of Arc did themselves great
credit. 'Every number on the program
was well rendered and reflects much
credit on our excellent corps of teachers.
IN MEMORIAM.
A Long and Useful Life  Ushered
into the lireat Beyond,
Wm. H Goodman, whose health has
been steadily growing poorer for tbe
pa3t months, passed from this life
about six o'clock Tuesday morning.
Deceased was born in Detroit, May
28,1832, and being the son of Stephen
Goodman, a Baptist minister, removed
from place to place in Southern Michigan, living in Troy until 1867, when
he removed to Birmingam, and from
there removed to Clare in 1832 and
engaged with his son, Wm., in the
hardware business. Clare has since
his place of residence. In the year
1856 he was united in marriage to
Miss Rachel C, Rookafellow, and "as
a result of this union they were parents of five boys: William and John R.
of Clare; Frank H. of South Bend,
Indiana; and Stephen and Larenzo D.,
both of whom died some years ago.
Mr. Goodman made for himself the
reputation of beins* a public spirited
man. and was deeply interested m educational matters. He served as postmaster at Troy and was on the
Birmingham board of education several years. He also served on the
school board of Olare several terms.
At one time he was deputy county
treasurer in this county. His exemplary life won for him a large circle
of friends, who, tho not unware of his
failing health, were shocked at hearing his death reported, the immediate
cause of which waa a form of Bright's
disease.
The funeral was conducted from the
house at 10:30 a. m. yesterday, Rev.
M. Knowles of the Congregational
church officiating, and the remains
laid at rest in Cberry Grove cemetery,
under the directions cf the Masonic
order, of which Mr. Goodman was a
respected member.
The tenderest sympathies of the entire community are with Mrs. Goodman, who survives ber husband, and
the members of the family in this
their sore affliction.

PEAK!. DWYER, EDITOR.
Mrs. Wood visited the fourth grade
last Friday*
Miss "Nellie Presley teaches the
sixth grade reading class.
For supplementary reading the third
grade are reading the story of Franklin which is full of patriotic spirit.
The fourth grade has a motto, "Labor Conquers" framed for beautifying
their room.
Miss Nellie Presley reads the book
"Dicky Domy" for morning exercises.
The fourth grade are using Washington as the basis for language work.
The sixth-seventh grade room haye
a new book case.
Eapid advancement is being made
in drawing by the pupils of the fifth
grade. This week each pupil is to
draw a border, which is to be mounted,
and used as a border around the entire
room.
Tbe program committee of the literary Society in the sixth-seventh grade
room are planning a Longfellow program for the 27th. They also have a
large picture of Longfellow framed
ready to hang up. *
The pupils of the fifth grade have
learned the poem "Children" by
Longfellow.
The pupils of the fifth, grade are in*.
terested in the Life of Washington.
They have made a careul studv of his
life, and used it as a basis for composition. In addition Miss Knowles
gave each pupil a biographical question
on Washington's life.
Tbere are just one or two pupils in
the high school who are so ignorant of
their future that they try to get out
of society literary work.
Forty-two pupils, took the eighth
grade examination last Saturday at
the high school, seventeen from the
country schools and twentv-flve from
our eight grade. Oom'r Aldrich was
in charge and Mr. Bennett was on
hand to inyite all those writing to visit
the high school and he also urged all
to think of going farther on in education.
You, parents and patrons, were good
enough to come to our entertainment,
but now won't you come to see our
work at school?
The high School comprises three
e£inlors„eigbt juniors, fourteen sophomores, twenty-seven freshmen andoue
unclassified.
The following are the subje-ts pur-
sued^ln the high school and the number of pupils in each subject: Algebra,
42; Latin, 34; German, 14; physics, 10;
general history* 17; physical geography,
29; United States history, 10; geometry, 6; Kinglish, 28; rhetoric, 21; review
arithmetic, 10.
The rallying cry for the high school
now-is "A piano,"    The Drevaiiing
sentiment is that the thirty eigbtdbl-
Jars now on hand must be a nucleus
for a piano fund. Teachers and pupils
seem to be unaminious in this idea.
Mr. "Robinson spoke Monday morning to the high school. His subject,
was, "Brain building" which was very
interesting.
