THE SCHOOL PROBLEM IN
WISE.
:¥
Patrons Are well Pleased with
•  the Consolidation of the Kidd
and Herrick Districts.
In the closing days of last October
the new brick school, built by the
consolidated districts of Kidd and
Herrick, comprising- a little mcro
than eight sections with the building at the centre of the new district,
was opened for school work. The
same two teachers are employed in
the one building that last year presided each in a separate school. The
same subjects are taught now as were
taught last year. The total enrollment for both schools was previously
ninety-six; this year to date ninety-
two have been enrolled. But the
number of classes taught by each teacher has bean lessened one-half, doubling the number in each class and the
time for each recitation. Formely
each teacher taught all the grades
frefm the chart class to the eighth
grade; now Miss JiTina Chapman has
the lower grades in one room and
while Miss Lillie Marseillus has the
upper grades in the other room.
There is today more enthusiasm' in
the classes, more general interest in
school and better" average attendance
'of pupils.
But a short time has elapsed under
the new system at Herrick, but thus
far people are well pleased. There is
more of a community spirit throughout the. entire district. Pupils from
adjoining districts have been anxious
to attend the consolidated school but
have to be shut Out because the pupils
of the district more than fill the -seating capacity of the new school and the
only regret expressed is that the building was not made larger. Thus far
the consolidated district is a success
and adjoining districts are watching
the experiment with marked interest.
Superintendent of Public instruction, Delos Fall, greatly favors some
form of school centralization, modified
according to the existing conditions of
communities as the best means of securing-for our country hoys and girls
in the environments'of the country
the opportunity of the best education.
Henry A. G. Bauer Dead.
At the age of nineteen, when life
seemed fairest, Henry A. O. Bailer,
son of Mrs. O. O. Stoll died at the
home in Grant, January 26th, death
resulting from that dread disease, consumption.- The funeral took place
Wednesday, January 28th, under the
ministration of Eev. Fr. Menke of
Laundale in the Glare M. E. church
and the interment took place at
Cherry Grove Gemetry.
Henry Bauer was born in Meklin-
burg, Germany, but came here when
only seven years of age. Most of his
boyhood days were spent in Grant,
where he attended sch joI and experienced the joys of life as our boys now
are doing. But in early manhood life's
thread has been cut and now fain
would friends and neighbors console
with kindly sympathy the sorrowing
mother and other relatives and friends
of the deceased young man.-   '•

Adam H. Fall Gone to His
Reward.
In the death of Adam II. Fall a
loved husband and father and a worthy citizen has been taken from our
midst." Sickness had been previously
Unknown to him but Thursda3r,- Janu-
ary22nd> after ah illness of-eleven days
he succumbed to an attack of appendicitis and passed across the River at
the age of fifty-two. The funeral last
Sunday was a very large one. The M,
E. church wherein an eloquent sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. {
W. J. Hathaway, was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The Maccabees of
whose local tent the deceased has been
record keeper for several'years, had
charge of the funeral and a large company of Sir. Knights escorted the
hearse to CherryG-rovecemetery where
the last sad rites over the remains Of
their late brother were performed by
Commander Bnmp and his associates.
The deceased was born in Murray,
Qnt., in 1850. In 1874 he was joined in
marriage to Jennie E. Edmonds of his*
native village where they continued to
reside till 1891 when they moved to
Clare and have made their home here
since that time. Mi". Fall's death is
the first in a family of nine children
of whom Mrs, J. Brooks, Trenton,
Ont., Mrs. Thomas Wallace, Frankfort, Ont., Marshall Fall, Saginaw and
Mrs. Herbert Sexsmith were present
at the funeral.
. Seven children were born to Mr.
and Mrs. Fall of whom along witli the
wife and mother, three boys, Clarence,
Fred and- Clark, survive.
' In the year of his marriage, 1874, he
accepted the- Christian faith,* united
with the M. E' church and ever since
bas been the most loyal of workers for
the church of his' adoption. * At -various times he has been teacher ahd
supterintendent of Sunday school and
at the time of his death was one
of the trustees of the M. E. church in
this city.
•But two years ago tlie death of a
daughter, Beatrice; just graduated
from, the high school, came as a heavy
blow to the family but in that sorrow
as in all the trials of life he was pa-
tieht and cheerful, trusting fully in
,hMi who dpeth all' things well. 'He

Fred Welch Killed in Chicago.
In the very prime of manhood Fred
Welch was suddenly struck down last
Sunday and called from time to eternity. He had been working on the
Belt line running into Chicago but on
that very morning had changed to the
Michigan Central R. E. so that he
might have more time at home with
his wife. He was opening a knuckle
on a coupling when another engine
kicked in some ears, the front one of
which struck from the other end the
car upon which Fred was working.
He was knocked down, run over and
badly mangled. The funeral took
place Wednesday evening at the home
of his wife's people at Coloma, Van
Buren county.
Fred Welch was born in Vermont
but has spent most of bis life in Clare
and is well known here as one of oar
large-hearted, generous young men.
He was twenty-six years of age at the
time of his death. Only last August
ho was joined in marriage to Miss
Grace M. Strong of Paw Paw and his
death now when life seemed so f ull of
promise for the future is indeed a
cruel blow, to the young wife. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to Mr. ahd Mrs. James Welch
who in following their son to his last
resting place at Coloma, were giving
up the third child in two years, Frank
who gave his life for his country in
the Phillipines, Bessie who died while
a member of the seventh grade of the
.city schools and now Fred who had
just begun to assume life's responsP
bilifcies. •'• ?,

parents its' deepesbsympatliyin this
their hour of sore affliction.
ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE.
C.   E.    Sutherland   Purchased
Half Interest in John  Wilson's Clothing and Tailoring Business.
"Ted" Sutherland has this week
joined the ranks of Olare business men
by purchasing a half interest in the
clothing and tailoring business forme-
ly run by J. H. WilsOn and located in
the Wolsey block. The rapid growth
of the business has led to this, change.
The Hew firm will be known as Wilson & Sutherland. "Te.I" is a Clare
boy who-after not a littie wandering
to the Great West concludes that
Clare is, good enough for him. The
new firm will continue to do business
as heretofore but will enlarge their
stock to meet the demands of trade.
The Sentinel gladly welcomes Mr,
Sutherland as another young man
among the business men of Clare and
bespeaks success for the new firm,

:     Worthily Done.
Last week we chronicled the misfortune of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mailson
of Atwdod Siding in losing their home
and furniture by Are and the need of
aid for these two worthy old people,
lie an ex-soldier and both of them over
seventy years of age. This week we
are glad to state that so generous has
been the response by the merchants of
Clare and Farwell along with others,
that already these- two worthy old people are established in a new home
well equipped with needed supplies.
All the merchants except three of
both towns made some contribution.
Mr." Clotter donated to them the use
of a house near Farwell for the winter and, after they were settled in
their home with a good outfit/and suitable clothes, $10 in money was turned
over to them as another part of the*
contribution made so willingly by so
many generous hands. E.. T>. Johnson and Geo. Silsbey took charge of
matters making the arrangements,
securing contributions and locating
Mr. and Ma;s. Mailson in their new
' Home.

Education    Increases    a    Man's
chances 800 times.
The second edition of "Who's Who
in America," contains 1,300 pages Of
brief biographies, without eulogy,
criticism or comment, of such persons
now living in America as have become
noted as factors in the progress and
achievement of the age.
With a* view to determining what
effect education of the various grades
has had on success in life, effort was
made to ascertain the school training
of each of these men and women "of
more than local note" and and 7852 on
the United States list were thus
educationally classified.
According to the best estimate we
can make from the latest census re
turns there are in the United States
"40,782,007 persons over 21 years • old.
These are divided educationally about
as follows:
Class l—Without  scbool   training..   4,S82.i98
Class  2—witn 'only common school    c.
training.. .-'. .*..32,862.951
Class  3—with    common   arid   high
school training ,....-. * 2,165,357
Class 4— With. coUcge or higher educa-      .
lion added ,     1,071.201
TSow the question is, how many cf
the 8,000 distinguished citizens of the
United States on the Who's' Who list
came from each of these classes?
The 4,652,408 of olass 1 furnished..        31
The 32,802,851 of class 3 furnished     808
The 2,185,357 of class 3 furnished ,. l,2J5
The 1,071.201-ol class 4 furnished.,... 5,788
It thus appears:
First—That an uneducated child
has one chance in 150,000 of attaining
distinction as a factor in the progress
of the age.
Second—That a common school education will increase his chances nearly
four times. "
Third—That a high school training
will increase the chances of the common-school boy 25 times, giving- Him
87 times the chance of the uneducated.
Fourth—That a college education
increases the chance of the high,
school boy 9 times, giving him 219
times" the chance of the common
school boy and more than 800 times
the chance of the untrained.
It is a surprising fact that of 7,852
"notables" thus gathered. 4,810 proyed.
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature of the case it cannot be claimed that the figures are
exact, but they are based upon the'
most reliable government statistics
and the necessary estimates have been
mafie with care.   It is also doubtless
true that other circumstances contrin-
uted to the success of these college-
trained men, but after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures still
fgrce the conclusion thyt the more
school training the child has the
greater his chances of distinction.' will
be.—Baltimore News.   . '.

will b& a one 'story brick 20x50 with

for business by the first.of July/ " ■,.
Farwell is on the eye of marked-substantial growth. Her business .interests need a bank in the village. • The
