ORDINARY ENROLLMENT
IS ANTICIPATED THIS YEAR.
The long summer vacation is fast
drawing to a close. Soon the children
with books and pencils will be seen
wending their way' schoolward. The
building has. undergone a thorough
cleaning inside and out and will be
in complete readiness for the boys and
girls on September 2. On September
1st Labor Day the teachers will gather
for their final instructions and they
too will be in readiness for the opening
on the following day.
Ordinary Enrollment Anticipated
In spice of the fact that the school
census for this year contains 521
names—over forty more than last
year—the school officials are preparing for an ordinary membership. It
is figured that most of the children
were Clare residents when the school
was last in session. Or course some
grade rooms will be over-crowded as
usual but this unfortunate condition
cannot be, remedied at this time.
Some of the high school classes will
aiso be rather large but steps have
been, taken to improve this condition.
It is expected that the enrollment in
the high school will not exceed that
of last year.
Not Many Changes
The work will be about the same
as it has been in other years. Music,
Art and Physical Training will again
tie a regular part of the curriculum.
Miss Margaret Ardis will have charge
of Art and the Kindergarten. Miss
Genevieve Stonecliff will direct the
Music and Physical Training. Chi-l
dren will not be permitted to enroll
in cho kindergarten unless they are
.five years of age and they will ordinarily remain in the kindergarten for
one year. The present officials discourage the idea of pushing the children through the grades and hign
school as rapidly as they apparently
can uo the work. The plan will be to
give the brighter children more to do
rather than to permit and encourage
them to complete their studies s_
soon. It it believed that children
should not have finished the eight
grades when they are but eleven or
twelve years of age. Nor should boys
and girls graduate from the high
school—except in rare instances—
when they are but fourteen or fifteen.
The seventh and eighth grades will
take another step in the direction or
joining the high school. Both of these
grades will recite on the same
schedule .arranged for the upper four
grades. Children in these two grades
will advance according to subject this
year rather than by the year. A per-
* manent record card has been periectea
which will enable the principal to do
this
Important •*
Formerly the State Normal schools
were forced to open their doors to
graduates of any standard high school
Irrespective of subject matter. Tbe
Normal scnool& in 'compliance witb
action recently taken by the State
Board of Education are now giving
notice to all high school officials that
all boys and girls, after July, 1925,
whc present themselves for admittance must have the following to their
credit:—2 years of a foreign language; 2 years of mathematics; 3 years
of English. A student must present
at least 12 regular academic credits.
In other words all institutions of higher learning in the State of Michigan
are now demanding the same entrance requirements. If students plan
to enter a college upon graduation
from high school they should plan
their course accordingly. And parents should assist their children in
selecting their course. Next week's
ispue of the Sentinel will contain a
complete announcement regarding the
opening of school and it will also contain the eourses of study for the high
school.

Through tbe courtesy of Mr. Dennis Et Alward, of Lansing, who was a reaident here at tbat time, we'are permitted ibis
week to publish a picture of what was in the year of 1862, the village ot Clare, and will undoubtedly bring back many memories of
our older resident.. The view shows from the present L; W. Jackson meat market south across the P.M. railroad. Reading
from left to il-fat the buildings of that day were occupied by Isaiah Feighner, meat market; George Halstead, groceries; Nathan Bicknell, groceries and general merchandise; Frederick Lange, bakery; George Lee, feed store; John O'Oaliighan, meat
market and groceries and tbe Alger hotel. The next buildings are the Bicknell warehouses, tbe Are hall and tbe Stearns, hotel.
The two barrels in the foreground are supposed to be empty. This entire block has since been replaced with neat brick structures.

Mr. Editor, kindly permit me to explain to the public and especially to
every Roman Catholic, my statement
to the throng on the street Saturday
eve. I said, with all the fervor of my
being, "I hate Rome, but love Roman-'
ists." This statement misunderstood
might blow up this nation like a spark
of fire in a magazine of powder, but
clearly understood may save us. "1
hate Rome." Why? Because she has
absolutely no scripture authority for
her teaching on the infalibility of the
pope, Virgin Mary, purgatory, confessional and withholding of the
tsible from her people challenge
Rome to produce Bible authority for such teaching . As
a daily student of the Bible for sixty-
years I have a little light on the subject, and seeing the bondage ancl
abject slavery the outrage, especially
upon modest womanhood as well as
every sincere priest by her ungodly
confessional I have the right under
our flag to let the light shine derived
from God's word, that these poor
slaves under Roman bondage may
be set free. There is a God-given law
born in all humanity that when we
see life in jeopardy we drop all and
rush to the rescue.
This law is enforced by a direct
command from God. "Thou shalt loye
thy neighbor as thyself" Love work-
eth no ill to his. neighbor. "I love
Romanists" and preach to all protest-
ants, treat them with untmost charity
anc'. patience; never quarrel; they are
blind and we must not abuse but do
an we can to help tnem or be condemned before God.
Saturday evening, on   the   street   ?
will again speak and sing also read
my letter to Archbishop Mundelein.

be registered by applying personally
to the city or township clerk any day
except Sunday or a legal holiday up
and until the.second Saturday before
any general or special election or official primary election, in which this
year Saturday, August 30th, becomes
