Cleary  Training Is
Educationally Balanced
Cleary College, Ypsilanti, has developed an educational program
which is interesting >• to young people ..seeking careers in business and
to employers by -reason of its
breadth. " .
The subjects offered at Cleary;
College may be classified in three
departments, - as ' follows: first, j
those which impart: general knpwl-j
edge; siecond, those wjbichi impart
technical knowledge; and, third,1
those -which impart skill knowledge.!
In the first ,rgroup are mathe-l
maties, EngliS-i, histoid v3&% sci_
ieBees and uela3ted: 'sublets/1Jn" the i
technical group are aSc6i^tijig,,,pus-j
iness law, economics, a#&'";i:ei&ted i
subjects. In the skill -gf'oup : aiie
.shorthand, .typewriting, 'penmanship and   office   machines.
Those who ares responsible for
curriculum planning at the College
believe that- only by continuing! education -in all three /departments,
can a high school graduate properly
qualifiy himself for adtvancehient
opportunities" in business. Cleary
Colle'ge courses are arranged to
include subjects from all three departments in the first ,year, in the
second year and in. .succeeding
years, to the end that an individual
who can devote only one year to
study has the broadest training
which can be obtained' within that
time; and the individual who can
continue for two or more years has
knowledge which is educationally
balanced.
General knowledge assures background; technical knowledge is basic to specific ability; skill knowledge is of value in the application
of general and technical knowledge. Technical laiowledge is essential to advancement, and general knowledge leads one to helpful contacts, stimulates »mental
growth and encourages originality.
Some schools prepare only in one
or two of the three departments.
The balanced courses' at Cleary,
embracing all three ^departments,
should, on the face oi~ it, have a
tremendous and logical appeal both
to prospective students and employers.

A terrible tragedy took place in

Larry Norman Bonnet, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Norman Bdhnet, was killed. Everything happened in the
flash of an eye and because of tlie
sudden shock to everyone, details
may be lacking. However, in some
manner, Larry, who 'had "been sitting in the car with his mother at
the corner of 3NEcliiga(n. .aveniie and
3Monroe ^street, ' opened rfhe door* 3H3e
was a very active child and moved
-swiftly. Before" anyone could realize what -was taking place, "he ran
in front of the car and crashed
into the fender of a passing truck
and was killed instantly. Larry was
three years old March 10, and the
only child. Thte truck, -which was
a heavy type used in hauling brick,
was east "bound and driven "by
Norman Kehn of Detroit. He was
exonerated of all "blame and released after questioning. The parents . are prostrated with grief and
the sympathy of- the entire community is extended to them. Funeral services 'were held Sunday afternoon at Trinity Lutheran church
with   Rev.   H.  L.  Engel   officiating.

Due to the genetal dissatisfaction
caused by the disrrpssal-of 3Mr. Clay
as superintendent of Saline school,
it would be well at this time to
remind the people of Saline School
District   as   follows:
On the second Monday of July
(July 8, 1940) an Einnual election of
School Board memhers is held. At
this meeting the following people
are allowed to vote:
1.   Taxpayers   in   the  District.
Also: 2. All parents or legal
guardians of any child listed on the
school census having lived in the
district three months immediately
before the  meeting.  '
At this time, candidates are
nominated and voted for to fill
vacancies on the Board, and it is
your duty as well as your right to
choose such a person as will be
worthy, honest, open-minded and
fair-dealing in the execution of his
duties for the general good of our
community, so that in the future we
shall not have such an unfortunate
result as the loss of so fine a superintendent as 3M3r. Clay has proven
himself to be, widely" approved of
by "the community he served, the
majority of the faculty he dealt
with, and the student body under
his  care  and authority.
Make it a date to attend the annual election July 8, '40 at the
place posted at that  time.

Tlie Woman's Club met on Tuesday afternoon, April 9, at the home
of 3M3rs. Eugene Ash, in Ann Arbor.
Following the business session in
charge of the president, 3Miss Esther
Landwehr, a discussion of the topic,
"Frontiers of America's Future,"
was conducted by 3M3rs. Otto Hagans reading a paper on "American
Women and the Peace Program"
and Mrs. Ray Bamer discussing
"Enemies of Democracy" with several of the ladies reading clippings
dealing with problems of race relations, Communism, Fascism, crime,
etc. The general opinion of the
group was that America still has
an inner battle to fight in order to
save democracy and that the real
issue today is the problem of "False
versus Genuine Patriotism.'-' Roll
call was responded to with "Current 3Events," and the meeting closed by the group' singing "America.'.'
The last meeting of the club year
will be held on Tuesday, April 23,
at the home of 3Mrs. C. A. Curtiss,
with) a luncheon at one o'clock.
Mrs. Charles E. Koella of Ann Arbor, herself a native Norwegian,
who has done considerable European
traveling, will be the guest of the
