UGGESSFUL APPLICANTS.
Thirty-four   out   of   Fifty-eight
Applicants   Pass the    State
Eighth Grade Examination.
The .results of the recent State
eighth grade examination in Olare
county show that the schools are, as
a rule, doing work pretty well up to
the standard set by the Department
of Public Instruction, and that the instruction given in the rural schools
Is getting better and better each
year. Pour years ago for the first
time the State examination was conducted by the county board of examiners just the same as are teachers-
examinations, and of the twenty-two
applicants none of them passed, and
few showed much more knowledge
than a good seventh grader should
have. The next year there were
forty-eight applicants and _thirteen
were successful. Last year sixty-
seven took the test and thirty passed.
This year fifty-eight wrote and thirty-
four were successful. This shows
that the teachers are more careful'
that their pupils have the requirements before sending them in to be
slaughtered as it were, and the increased per cent out of each class
passing shows how well the teacbers
ate doing their work. Teachers, let
us have an even 100 next year, with
the work so well done that 75 per
cent of them will receive the state
diploma.
Following is the list of successful
applicants:

Alice M. Whaley 3 Frost
Grace Allen, Alice M. Whaley and
George E. Mills passed highest of all
the candidates in order as given.
Grace Allen will receive the Harrison
high school scholarship, Floy Gerow
the Clare scholarship and Edmon
Schermerhorn the Farwell scholarship. This means that if these three
people wish to attend these respective high schools next year by
arrangement previously made with
the boards of education, they will
recieve the year's tuition free.
Teachers are urged to hold eighth
grade graduating exercises in all districts where there are successful
applicants. It would be well for all
the districts in the township to hold
union exercises and have a speaker
from outside. The expense of this
will not be great and the inspiration
it will be to younger children will be
invaluable. The commissioner will
gladly answer any inquiries relative
to speakers, programs, or anything
relative to the exercises.
E. G. Welch, Commissioner.
CURE COUNTY SAVINGS BANK
Will Expend $4000 on Improvements  and   Equipment.
Extensive improvements at the
Glare Oounty Savings Bank and the
erection of three modern Btore buildings accross tbe street by J. D, Dunwoodie means that the Fifth and
Fourth street orossings of McEwan
will soon be pretty close rivals with
as fine buildings as can be found
anywhere in towns of Clare's size.
Clare's oldest bank takes another
step forward. The directors have
determined on such improvements
as will make its place of business a
thing o*f beauty and inviting accomodation. The present director's room
will become a part of the banking
room and the Union Telephone Oo.
office will be transformed into a director's room. The area clear around
to the front window will be for use
6f the public with an S shaped coun-.
ter so placed as to give patrons access to private deposit boxes direct
to the vault. The counter will be the
finest mahogany with other fixtures
to correspond including marble steps
and floor and finest swing doors
largely plate glass.
Cashier Sutherland and his associates always have kept in the front
rank and in this undertaking again
demonstrate that the bank whose
reputation for soundness and reliability has been proverbial these many
years still maintains its relative
position in the fore front of banking
institutions.

WANTS ANOTHER SCRAP,
Politician Ganfield Regardless of
the Truth Is Trying to Start
Jangling on Council,
. After keeping still for as much as
two or thre"e Weeks, Bro, Oanfield
has broken loose again. This time
tis in the new guise of economy because he didn't get a chance to boss
the'salary ordinance. Here's what
he says,
Olare Courier" of May 24th,—"They
boost the municipal pay roll to a
point which'exceeds by sevejpil hundred dollars any amount ever before
expended for similar services."
But here are the salaries of two
years ago and this year:
» 1905 1907
Fire chief and warden $ 60 $ 25
City Atty/ 125 100
City printer 75 50
Marshal and street Comr.     SOO 480
Clerk 17S 250'
Health officer 25 25
Night watch 600
Mayor and aldermen 175
Totals 1350 1105
In the above the - amount paid
street commissioner in 1905 is estimated on the basis that last year he
was paid S240.
In justice to Mayor Benner and
other members of the council, however, the facts ought not to be misinterpreted. In the first place the
salary ordinance originated entirely
within the council. No body else
was consulted. At one of the meetings it was suggested that aldermen
should be given free water. Two of
the/aldermen could' not use city
water and hence it was finally voted
to pay the mayor and each alderman
SI per council meeting, not to exceed
S25 per year. It was carried by two
democrat votes and two republicans,
one republican, Aid. Dwyer, voting
against it as shown in the official
proceedings on page five of this
issue and Aid. Geeck being absent.
Mayor Benner signed the ordinance.
But the editor boss in implying that
since he showed him the lay of the
land, the mayor is sorry he did so,,
does an injustice to the Mayor's independence. He tries to make out of
incident that 'Mayor Benner takes
his orders from him. The fact is
Mayor Benner is a little too independent for the secretary or any
other boss. Even in this case Mayor
Benner with Aid. Dwyer believe in
the principle of at least some enumeration for service on the council,
provided it is known at the time of.
election that such is to be the fact.
They hold that next year it would be
perfectly proper to draw salary for
such service. This year they will
not accept any salary.
It was the desire of all the council
to keep down salary of clerk and attorney. Mayor Benner, however,
after several years experience as
clerk says the work is worth S350 a
year and against their will the council voted S200 for clerk and S50 dollars for collector of water rents.
This done, to avoid friction the attorney's salary was raised to S100.
Mr. Canfield didn't get a raise and
now he's trying to j3hiffc the duties of
fire warden.
The salary of $480 for the combined
office of marshall and -street commissioner was the carrying out of
Mayor Benner's plan. The council,
republican and democrat aldermen
alike, agreed with him and the action was entirely unanimous. Only
at the recent election Bro. Canfield
raised a howl that the council was
so niggardly last year that they
hadn't enabled Mayor Benner to
havo the necessary officer to keep
order .in the city, in his issue of
March 26th using .the words, "have
permitted lawlessness to run riot."
Bro. Oanfield wants a perpetual
scrap. Democrat and republican
officials alike have shown disposition to get together and pull together.
The interests of the city demand this
and it is to be hoped that at last the
man, who inherits from the gods' the
golden apple of discord, shrewd
politician though he may be, will
fail of his purpose.
