Virtually Condemed by action
of School Meeting Monday Evening.

Board asked to Secure Plans and
Estimates   for   Additianal
Building and Heating Plant.    .
The annual school meeting Monday evening witnessed the biggest
surplus, the smallest attendance and
and the raising of the question of
better quarters for small children.
People with children in school were
very noticeable for their absence. In
fact of school board and all who
participated actively in the doings
of the evening, only J. A. Jackson, 1?.
I. Ross and L. E. Davy, have child'
ren attending school.
Dr. F. 0. Sanford presided andwas
unaniamously re-elected.
Secretary Tatman's report showed
a balance of 85,499.89, A year ago the
balance was 32,120.85. Other ite&s
of income were primary money
S5,920, tufcion S216.94, library money
$34.44, delinquent taxes S205.77,
voted taxes $3,765.67. The total expense of the year was S6,827.78 of
which the following were the principal items:
Farwell News.
Teachers' wages
84,715
350
' Janitor
Heating plant, repairs
and maintenance 901.22
New sidewalk 262.48
Insurance 303
It is noticeable that this year commencement expenses were S33 in excess of income.
The board's recommendation to
raise 83,000 by tax was amended to
82,000.° ^The idea leading to.this action seemed to be that it is unwise to
have more than a working surplus in
the hahds of school officials. This
amount of school tax is S1.500 less
than last year. Only a few years
ago it was S5,500. Of course the
reason for the reduction is the very
large amount of primary money and
the paying off of bonds.
The question of proper accomodation for little children in the school
building was the principal discussion
of the evening. At present grades
one and two occupy basement rooms
which rooms are half in the ground-
with ceilings several feet lower than
other rooms and windows about one-
half the size of those of other rooms.
Ventilation for these two rooms is
forced except when windows are
open and when closed for any length
of time these rooms smell more or
less musty in spring and fall. Besides with the present heating plant
they are not well heated. A resolution was finally passed asking the
board of education to secure plans,
specifications and estimates for a
new building to remove children
from the basement also a new heating plant and report at a future
special meeting of the district.
In the mean time it is well for
parents and school patrons generally to investigate alleged conditions of the rooms in question and
determine the need of added school
accomodations and a new heating
plant.

The people of Mt. Pleasant ought
to appreciate the officers of the law
now in authority in this city and
county. They stand for law enforcement, and any person who attempts
to break the statutes in this community soon comes to learn of the penalty that attaches to the violation.
Last week was carnival week with ns
in Mt. Pleasant, and some there were
who probably thought the celebration was an invitation to laxity of
law and order. But this was the
crop of offenders who fell into the
hands of the officers, as taken from
the sheriff's records: eight drunks
(and here we will not mention names
for the reason that several were
young men of good homes and good
standing, and this their first offense;
these same youngl&ien should
however, that they cannot hope always to be shielded) two disorderlies,

Successful Applicants^
At the June teachers.' examination
there were forty-one applicants, the
largest class in the history of Clare
county, and of this number twenty-
nine were granted certificates. This
was also the largest number of certificates granted at any one time in
county. Besides these several were
writing for credits on examination to
finish up in August.
The board of examiners are exceedingly well pleased at the prospect that the county will be able to
supply teachers enough -for the
county without going outside, as has
been necessary at the beginning of
the school year for the past four
years. It does not necessarily mean
that all these teachers are available
for work in this county next year
though as some of the vepr best of
our teachers will enter the various
Normal schools in October, to pursue
regular work leading to   graduation.
