to Fill Vacancies
Two New Courses Being Added
and Additional Teachers
Placed on Staff
Tuesday, September 8, Avill find
everything in readiness for the opening of the Clare Public School. Advance inquiries indicate the enrollment
will again be large. It is hoped that
rural students entering the high
school for the first time will be on
hand promptly at 8:25 in the high
. school.
Five new members of the faculty
have been secured to fill vacancies
caused by the" resignation of Ruth
Allyn Neff, J. A. " Kitchin, Doris
Wright, Lorris Bragg and Vivian Mac;.
Laughlin. The additional teacher is
an addition to tlie staff. This addition
has been needed for some time due to
the greatly increased enrollment in
the high school and the gradual increase in the census list in our district. There are 45 more on the census than there were four years ago»
The Complete list cf the faculty follows with some information concerning the work to be done by each. The

that these courses will more adequately'serve the students and community.
As was announced in the letter accompanying the elementary school report cards in the spring considerable
time is to be spent this fall during the
first week or more, in the study of the
abilities, needs, health, and other important phases of each individual
student. On the basis of the information gained in this manner, the in,
struction will be organized in, what is
hoped, units which will fit each individual's capacities and needs. For
the first few days, therefore, we are
not to be concerned about'books or
classes ox schedules. In fact, we may
ask pupils to come in certain groups
or to come only in the forenoon or
afternoon. We shall be very busy carrying out our program of investigation. The physician does not get all hia
remedies for various ailments from the
same bottle. Education, too, should
come from different types of materials for different pupils in order to accomplish the most for each member of
the class. The faculty ask your understanding and appreciation of the efj

(By Harrison Correspondent)
Tomorrow, September 5th, 1936,.
marks the 104th birthday anniversary
of Dr. Albert Donders, oldest resident in this part of Michigan, and we
believe we can state that with no exception he is the most active man of
his years in Michigan. A man rather
small of stature, wearing a short
gray beard, and straight shouldered,
steps nimbly without use of a cane, or
glasses, can be foiund about the County Court HOuse at Harrison, where he
is employed in the office,, this personage is Dr. Donders. He works
eight hours a day, four days each
week, doing work on the WPA project of building the Addition to the
Court House. In an interview we
were surprised to glean the following
story of his life:
Born in Amsterdam, Holland, September 5th, 1832, where he received
his elementary schooling and at tho
age of 17 entered the Poly Clinic to
train as a doctor, where he studied
for eight years, Obtaining his degree
of medicine. After leaving the clinic, Dr. Donders joined the Cavalry,
and came to the East Indies in 1855,
where he fought at Java, Borneo.
Celebres and Sumatra. Th6 East
Indies were under the rule of King
William III of the Netherlands at this
time and the natives in the above
mentioned places were constantly rebelling, and Dutch troops were fre<
quently sent to the Islands to restore
peace.
From the East Indies, Dr. Donders
came on to America with a plan to
kill Indians, revengeful toward them
as he had seen so many pictures of
Indians killing white people here. He
joined the Union army at Gettysburg,
and served almost the entire length
of the Civil War under General Sherman. His tales of the war actually
make the phases of the early days of
the Union seem to come to life, quite
unlike the reports found in our history books. Dr. Donders became
very well acquainted with General
Sherman during* his services as a
soldier, and refers to the great leader
as 'Bill". He says: "Bill, that's
what we called him."
After the war he came to Detroit,
where he was active ia the civic and
social life of the city as -well- as very
efficiently practicing- medicine for a
number of years. For two years
after'leaving that city he had .offices
in Grand Rapids, then^ coping on to
Evart where he practiced medicine in
the city and surrounding country, inch-ding', the numerous lumbering
camps.,,. During his forty years as
ptiysl-iah in Evart, he purchased a
Country general store hi W-nterfield
township.^ jiving at the store he
would -drive a. horfie* and buggy back

Work Completed Under Direction of Conservation •
Officers of Clare

One Hundred and forty thousand

length from three to four inchea werq
planted in. the* streams of Clare, coun*
ty last week end under the direction
of Conservation officers Earl Skin».
ner, of Harrison, and Frank Bush, 6l
Gladwin.
The Clare Rod and Gun club and the
Harrison Hunting and Fishing club
co-operated in the distribution and
trucks with crews of men from the G,
C. C. camp at Temple provided trans'1
portation and labor in transfering the
fish to the streams.
These fish, were reared in the Clard,
^Ounty rearing ponds located about
threej-smjlea' south of Harrison and
wer^;piaced!ifethe ponds on May 2Sth.
The fish catae from the Federal Fisheries located at Northville, Michigan,
and were hatched from eggs takei1
from brook trout in the streams ot
Colorado.
Mr. Floyd Chamberlin, of the Northville Hatchery, has been in charge of
the ponds and the fe'eding of the fish
during the summer and he is very enthusiastic about these western fish
which he believes will be able to care
for themselves as they are much
wilder in nature than the local Michigan trout.
These ponds are supplied with.
Water from Spikehorn Creek and were
built in 1929 through an appropriation
by the County Board of Supervisors
and has been enlarged from time to
time as additional appropriations have
been made by the Supervisors. The
Federal Fisheries Bureau delivers the
fish to the ponds and provides the
caretaker. In promoting this project,
William Lange of Clare and Joseph
Ladd of Harrison played prominent
parts.
Although the fish were distributed
throughout the county, the branches
of the Tobacco and Cedar rivers are
generally conceeded to be the best
streams for the trout, both from the
standpoint of coyer and natural feed.
They are also fished more than any of
the other streams of the county.

Excitement ran high in Vernon'
township late Wednesday night and
Thursday when the Chas. Durnin well
No. 5, on the west side of section _3
was brought in a 2,000 barrel gusher
by J. V. Wicklund.
The well was a surprise to the
ownsrs. About 10:00 o'clock the drill
was working at a depth of about 3760
feet when the prized flood was encountered. The original flow, although pinched in, filled a 250 barrel
lank in three hours. The well possesses an excellent flow of gas -with
no water. .
During the day pipe men were rushing a line from the Pure Pumping
station to the well as the last tank of
the three 500 barrel tanks was filling
fast. In spite of this it was thought
that tank trucks would have to be
ordered in to care for the over supply of oil.
Mr. Wicklund announces that two
new offsets will be started in the near
future,-one location to be south and
one two locations to the north of the"

On the basis of the information gained in this manner, the in, struction will be organized in, what is hoped, units which will fit each individual's capacities and needs. For the first few days, therefore, we are not to be concerned about'books or classes ox schedules. In fact, we may ask pupils to come in certain groups or to come only in the forenoon or afternoon. We shall be very busy carrying out our program of investigation. The physician does not get all hia remedies for various ailments from the same bottle.

Ale* McKftmo»,'City Cle.kr: (By Harrison Correspondent) Tomorrow, September 5th, 1936,. marks the 104th birthday anniversary of Dr. Albert Donders, oldest resident in this part of Michigan, and we believe we can state that with no exception he is the most active man of his years in Michigan. A man rather small of stature, wearing a short gray beard, and straight shouldered, steps nimbly without use of a cane, or glasses, can be foiund about the County Court HOuse at Harrison, where he is employed in the office,, this personage is Dr. Donders. He works eight hours a day, four days each week, doing work on the WPA project of building the Addition to the Court House. In an interview we were surprised to glean the following story of his life: Born in Amsterdam, Holland, September 5th, 1832, where he received his elementary schooling and at tho age of 17 entered the Poly Clinic to train as a doctor, where he studied for eight years, Obtaining his degree of medicine. After leaving the clinic, Dr. Donders joined the Cavalry, and came to the East Indies in 1855, where he fought at Java, Borneo. Celebres and Sumatra. Th6 East Indies were under the rule of King William III of the Netherlands at this time and the natives in the above mentioned places were constantly rebelling, and Dutch troops were fre< quently sent to the Islands to restore peace. From the East Indies, Dr. Donders came on to America with a plan to kill Indians, revengeful toward them as he had seen so many pictures of Indians killing white people here. He joined the Union army at Gettysburg, and served almost the entire length of the Civil War under General Sherman. His tales of the war actually make the phases of the early days of the Union seem to come to life, quite unlike the reports found in our history books. Dr. Donders became very well acquainted with General Sherman during* his services as a soldier, and refers to the great leader as 'Bill". He says: "Bill, that's what we called him." After the war he came to Detroit, where he was active ia the civic and social life of the city as -well- as very efficiently practicing- medicine for a number of years. For two years after'leaving that city he had .offices in Grand Rapids, then^ coping on to Evart where he practiced medicine in the city and surrounding country, inch-ding', the numerous lumbering camps.,,. During his forty years as ptiysl-iah in Evart, he purchased a Country general store hi W-nterfield township.^ jiving at the store he would -drive a. horfie* and buggy back aijd fdfthr4 til Ala Evart „ 6ffice.

The Clare Rod and Gun club and the Harrison Hunting and Fishing club co-operated in the distribution and trucks with crews of men from the G, C. C. camp at Temple provided trans'1 portation and labor in transfering the fish to the streams. These fish, were reared in the Clard, ^Ounty rearing ponds located about threej-smjlea' south of Harrison and wer^;piaced!ifethe ponds on May 2Sth. The fish catae from the Federal Fisheries located at Northville, Michigan, and were hatched from eggs takei1 from brook trout in the streams ot Colorado. Mr. Floyd Chamberlin, of the Northville Hatchery, has been in charge of the ponds and the fe'eding of the fish during the summer and he is very enthusiastic about these western fish which he believes will be able to care for themselves as they are much wilder in nature than the local Michigan trout. These ponds are supplied with. Water from Spikehorn Creek and were built in 1929 through an appropriation by the County Board of Supervisors and has been enlarged from time to time as additional appropriations have been made by the Supervisors. The Federal Fisheries Bureau delivers the fish to the ponds and provides the caretaker. In promoting this project, William Lange of Clare and Joseph Ladd of Harrison played prominent parts. Although the fish were distributed throughout the county, the branches of the Tobacco and Cedar rivers are generally conceeded to be the best streams for the trout, both from the standpoint of coyer and natural feed. They are also fished more than any of the other streams of the county.
