Mention has been made in the Sentinel heretofore of the consolidation
of three of Michigan's prominent railroads, The Flint & Pere Marquette,
Detroit. Grand Rapids & Western and
Chicago & West Michigan. It is now
thot that in about six weeks the new
corporation will assume tangible shape
and as it is almost impossible to have
the name of the consolidation contain
cities, it is likely to be called the
Pere Marquette railroad.

iHext Monday bhe welcome sound of
the school bell will gladden the hearts
t»f millions all over our land. Mothers
wbo have many t.mes wished school
would soon commence that they might
send a half dozen youngsters to school
for the teacher to care for will sigh a
sigh of relief as she sees them trudging down the road, carrying dinnei
pails,'an armful of books ancl heads
cram full of thots, which when c-evel-
oped Into actions, will cause the
teacher to utter just such a sigh at
four o'clock when tbey are homeward
bound as the mother did when she
saw them trudging toward school in
the morning,

Our public schools will resume work
Monday September 4V and It is very
desirable that all pupils be on band
the very,first day to facilitate the formation of classes and to give each one
a chance to start out abreast with all
■his classes.
The present management desires
the earnest cooperation of parents and'
pupils in bringing our schools upcothe
greatest possible degree of efficiency.
All the teachers will he, glad to have
parents consult with, them as to the
children's best interests, If the child
is to be given a fair jbance for his future the Influences of his home and
school room must be supplementary to
each other.
We ask for punctuality and regularity of attendance not only on account of the general spirit they Import to school oreanlzaMou but also
on account of their reactive effect for
strength and steadfastness of character upon the individual pupil. Nothing can take the place of steady pei-
sistant effort continued bbruout the
entiie school year. After being absent a pupil is under the necessity of
doing harder work If he is to keep up
with his classmates. Even then a
sensitive child goes to his classes under great nervous strain in the fear
of failure. This may lend to nervous
diseases of which so much Is said in
our rood<>nitcivilization. To the child
spasmodic mental effort is far more
hnrmful than a reasonable amount of
regular study.
Some parents are debating whether
or not to'send their larger boys and
girls back to school. Allow me to ask
.\ou to run over in your mind the after
life of those v/ho have gone on thru
school as compared with those who
dropped out all the way along up tbe
grades. A comparison of tbe later"
life t f these two classes of young people may help you to reach a decision.
No amount of training can make a
Shetland pony attain a two-minute
gait and it takes a great deal of training to bring even our blooded horses
up to that rate of speed. Like wise no
amount of education can change a
two-cent individual over to a two-
thousand dollar man. Education increases the mental size, hot the sort
of human being. Training does bring
results and lo dealing with the human
soul tbe results are marvelous.
1 have been ordered by those in au-
thority'to say tbat beginners will be
admitted only at the beginning of the
school year. The reason for this Is ob-
vious.J One year is sufficient for the
average pupil to pass a grade, arid it
usually takes a whole year. Along in
the winter or spring if a number of
beginners enter tbey demand the attention of the teacher, and this, too,
at the expense of ber regular class.
At (.he end of the year he cannot pass
to the next grade, not having attended
•a sufficient length of time, and the
next year he is classed with beginners
and becomes dissatisfied,
I shall be at the high school Saturday irom 2:00 to 4:00 p. m. to-meet any
who may wish to consult me aa to
school matters.

Tbe Ann Arbor railroad is indeed
having its share of wrecks these days.
Saturday morning two freight trains
were coming from thenorth, and wben
Hearing Clare the first section stopped.
The second section not understanding
the first to stop, did not slack down,
thus causing a rear-end collision which
proved an expensive one to tbe company. The way car was smashed to
splinters and three other cars badly
demolished, while the head of the
engine, was badly disfigured. The
engineer and fireman escaped injury
by jumping and as the way car had,
no occupants, no one was injured.
One passenger train was run over
the F, & P. M. railroad from Farwell
and a track was built around the
wreck, thu3 causing little delay In the
fcratfb.
Airs, Lloyd Smith.
