There were 31 men working on the
Davy-Mussell-Elden block the first

stage of1 development when an idea of
its exterior beauty may de formed..

We note with pleasure that year by
year the newspapers in every city and
village are giving more and more space
and prominence to the closing exer.
cises of our schools. This is right,
our schools are our national bulwark,
an old remark and a true one, and the
public press can do, and is doing, a
great thing in fostering favorable sentiments. Every young man and young
woman should be made to feel that
life is incomplete, without an education as complete as a high school
can make it. More than this, every
man and woman in the community
should help to make every boy and
girl feel uncomfortable and, out of
place who is out of school at any time
without a good reason.' Every idle
boy Upon the streets in school hours
should be asked by every business man
to give an account of himself. You
pay the taxes for the boys' education
and have a right to ask him why he
is misappropriating your money.

sister village properly observe the day.
In our last week's issue, in an item
speaking of the teachers' of the Clare
schools, the word "quite," appeared,
through an error, instead of the word
"very" in speaking of Miss^ Bruske's
success as a teacher. Miss Bruske has
had splendid success and we cheerfully make the correction.
Clare has a new paper, the Clare
Courier. It made its first appearance
last week, with* A. R. Canfield of
Harrison, former editor of the Cleaver,
as editor and owner. It has a very
neat appearance, and is quite creditable as an initial number. Politically
the sheet is "out of sight," that is, it
is nowhere, or eyerywhere, as the field
shall seem to warrant. Whether it will
develope into a democratic or a prohibition organ or both remains to be
seen.
