City High Sphool on University Organization   For  Young   Men
Approved Listfor Two Years.
A letter from President Angel to.
Effected in the. City.
At a meeting last week an organiza-
Svtpt.   Roode  this   week conveyed tion, The Knights of theRound Table,
the information that the Glare high
sohool has been placed on the University approved list for two"*years,
'Heretofore the*■>approval has been
only a year afc atlwe and last year
there were conditions and recommendations attached to fche approval.
Now it is for two years and there are
no strings or suggestions attached.
The "University's approval of the
city schools, while admitting our
graduates there without examination
and carrying practically similar approval for other colleges of the state,
is most important in showing the
school's progress to give our young
people proper advantages in preparation for life's battle. The teaching
corps and the actual instruction is,
as a whole, considerably in advance
of any previous year. The fact is
that with constant changes the teaching force has been in the past the
weak point of Glare schools. Now
the emphasis is on this as the sum
total of the school's purpose—good
teachers and all other means for effective training of our boys and girls.
For the present condition no small
measure of praise is due Supt. Roode.
The first fourth year man in many
years afc the head sof the schools, so
far as can be gathered, he stands
better today than at any previous
time. He helped choose the present
teaching force and his general balance has been conductive to the
present situation.
In tbe evolution of the community's
life culture from the scholastic side
is now evidently exerting influence,
as it should be, and marked changes
in our thought and our ideals are
necessarily in progress. There are
this year 19 in the high school sepior
class with three of our young people
at the University, two at Olivet
college, one at Alma college, a good
number at Central Normal with at
least a representative at Ferris Institute and Ypsilanti State Normal.
Some citizens have thought the
board of education too conservative
in achieving this final result of  all

At the home of the bride's mother,
Mrs. Emma Louch, Wednesday at
nine o'clock occurred the marriage
of her daughter, Mrs. MyraMcOanty,
to John A. Raymond of Gladwin,
Rev. Quinton Walker performing the

The bride has spent most of her
life in Olare and is favorably known
by a large circle of friends. For
some time she has been a clerk- in J.
H. Wilson's dry goods store. The
groom is,a well to do farmer three
miles from Gladwin.
Mr. and Mra. Ray n ond left on the
t8n a. m. train on a trip east and

Gladwin.

to Good House Wednesday
Evening by Strong Cast.
The Irish" coredy, Mujdoon'B
Bhmders, present d at tbe opera
house Wednesday evening nnder the
auspices of the I. 0- 0. F* revealed a
number of talented tfffiateur performers behind the footlights. The eight
characters, with slight variations,
were well fca,ken, the audience was a
good one and appreciative, the Kirk<-
bride orchestra music up to its usual
high standard and tha whole program
very acceptable.
'Atherton Rogers in the title role Of
Larry Muldoon with a make up worthy of a fall fledged professional was
a good natured blundering Irishman
and kept the crowd mesry every
minute. Burt Greer as a rollicking
German, Adolph Bismark, was equally
strong in interpretation, in fact was
one of-the best funny characters ever
seen on a Glare stage. Wm. Adam-
son as Noah Count .and Miss Myrtle
Brvin as Jnlianna essayed the difficult
parts as villians of the evening and
perhaps deserve as much credit as
any members of the company. The
former with splendid voice and the
latter with suggestive dignity of bearing constantly kept the nnder current
of viUany insinuated into the drift of
things. Harold Townsend as Toby,
the darkey, was a whole show in himself and played his part well throughout. * Mrs. J, D. Allen was a splendid
"Widow McGreevy," most admirably
fitting into the character"deliniations,
and injecting ample comedy into the
most tragic situation. Kenneth Hagle
as Otto B, Honest was hobo, good
ansel and several other characters
taking each with reasonable interpre-
tati m, appearing to the better advantage as serious purpose under lay the
comedy. Miss Florence~Wing was
MuldoOn's daughter, pretty little
Kate, and she carried herpartcharmingly.
The presentation was made under
direction of Rule Bros, of Grand
Rapids and evinced ability of organization!

CUSTOM SAV~SHI16l£'HLL.
Tatman" & McKeever Building j
One South of Union Depot.
The destruction by fire of Gorr's
custom mill left Glare without this
means of meeting the needs of many
a man who' wants a job of sawing
down. But Tatman &■ McKeever
having at the same time lost their
shingle mill are replacing the same
on the land southeast from the union
depot, between the Pere Marquette
and Ann Arbor tracks and are building a custom mill in«onneetion. The
work of construction has so far pro^
grossed that they expect to commence
operations in about ten days.
Tnis kind of a mill is a good thing
both for Glare and the surrounding
country,    s

effective teaching and self-help for
our boys and girls, but now at least
the school has a fine building, good
equipment, beautiful grounds with
the final emphasis on actual school
work. Past policy certainly makes
easy an effective school policy for the
future,
Tlje problem of additional room for
high school work is evidently the
next thing to be solved. With only
one small recitation room on the
upper floor and a small laboratory in
the basement there is lack of room
for the class work of the 93 students
in the high school. Secretary Tat-*
man was so much iropresed with the
vahie'of manual training, especially
for wayward boys, as he saw it ex-,
-empiiflcd at the recent meeting of
the state teachers' association at
Saginaw that he hopes Claire may
sooner or later have it in the schools.
Onr two basement school rooms
would be O. K. for this purpose.
But whatever the future may
bring le*t the community move with
the s&me unanimity as ha«* <>i>n}'»iafc-
ed its school past, and suw {jfugiuss
is inevitable.

Glenn Hale cousin of the bride was

Both young people are well and
favorably known in this locality having grown up here and may their
journey through life be one of happiness is the wish of their many friends
at Nester Dam.
