It has been the general impression
in Clare tbat the difference between
sun and standard time is twenty-eight
and one-half minutes. When you find
the number of miles between* meridians in this latitude, and remembering
that for every fifteen degrees of longitude there is one hour of time, you can
readily see by reference to a map that
the actual difference between sun and
standard time is a little less than
twenty-two minutes.
Peter Bitter, Who for the .past three
months has been making his home
with his son, Harve Bitter, died last

officiating, and the remains were taken
for interment to his former boms in
Steuben county, Indiana, accompanied
by his son Harve, his wife and little
one. Tho Mr. Rioter had lived in Clare
but a short time, he made many warm
friends who will be pained to hear of
his death.
The Board of Education have engaged most of the corps of teachers
for the coming school year. Philip A.
Bennett, B. S., a graduate ot the Normal College and in June graduates
from the literary, department Of the
University of Michigan, has been
elected superintendent; at this writing the principal has not been engaged; Mr. Ruthruff, 7th and 8th
grades; Clara Bruske, 6th; Miss
Bowles, 5th; Miss Wyant has been
tendered the 4th; tfellie Presley, 3d;
Minnie Presley, 2d; Miss Brown of
Ithaca, 1st. The Board are to be congratulated on securing so efficient a
set of teachers, and the present outlook is that our schools will be well
conducted the ensuing year.
At tbe last meeting of tbe .rational
Educational Association that body directed their secretary to spread the
records, and in doing so directed that
the spelling of several words be
changed—thru for through, tho foi
though; pedagog for pedagogue; thot
for thought; demagog for demagogue;
and several more, twelve in all. There
is no reason why the spelling of some
Of the English words should not be
shortened. Take, for instance, the
three words, thought, though and
through. Since wo look, ordinarily, at
only the first part of a word and guess
at the rest of it, nine people out of ten
miscall these tbree words, especially.
Teachers find it almost impossible to
get children to distinguish between
them. We spell color now instead of
colour, and Ho one prefers the old way".
Should you see the Words thru, tho,
thot, etc., in the columns of The Sen-
tinisl, pleasedon't say that the writer
doesn't know how those words are commonly: spelled. We prefer the shorter
of two tight ways.
