OPEN  M.ON-

High   School   Prosperous.   Supt.
Riggs and au Able Corps of
Teachers Ready for
Work.
Clare schools are yearly finding a
larger place in the life of our people
and they resume work this year under
the most favorable auspices. All departments are reputed to be in good
working order and tbe high school is
rapidly developing, which is a natural result of the growing prosperity
of Clare and all tbe surrounding
country. We predict that right speedily a much larger per cent of our boys
will avail themselvesof the opportun-
L_. ,j!l%
S. Gibson, A. B., of Otsego, will be
principal of the high school and teach
Latin, German and English. Miss
Josephine at. Smith, Ph. B., of Ober-
lin, Ohio, will have charge of the work
in history and the natural sciences.
C. A. Reading of Flat Rock will be in
charge of tbe eighth grade, Miss Grace
Acker of Harrison the first grade, and
Miss Faith Robinson of Mt. Pleasant,
the second grade while the remaining
five grades will be distributed among
tbe following teachers as per the number in those grades: Misses Melvina

ifcyof securing a high school education. Only this week a young man in
Olare was heard upbraiding his father
io no uncertain terms because he had
not been kept in school against even
liis own will, complaining now that
he hasn't a better chance in life owing
to his lack of education.
There are now ten teachers in the
school, one being added to the higb
school department this year. Supt.
W. D. Riggs, B. Pd., a sketch of
whom was given in these columns
BOine weeks ago, has already made a
most) excellent impression and bas
plans for the year's work well la hand.
He will have about three-eights of his
time for superintending and in the
high school teach the mathematics
jljid physical sciences.    Miss Frances

Clare Library Association.
The library association after three
years existence has been discontinued
and over a hundred books turned over
to the school library. This organization came into existence through the
efforts of Rev. Robinson, now of St,
Louis, and the young men's association of the M. E. church. The library
contained standard Action, some
history and many juvenile books. In
addition through traveling libraries
from the state library each quarter
there were fifty additional books
available to the membership of the
association. All the books of the
library had been read by Clare's reading public and now will aid materially
in replenishing the school library,
none too rich since the burning of the
school building.
The library was organized under tbe
auspices the Young Men's Association
of the M. E. church and subsequently
controlled by a board of directors
elected by the membership of the association. The school library previous
to this contribution bad about 100
volumes and it is understood that the
board of education will this year
greatly enlarge it, adding especially a
good reference library for the study of
history.

The Boy and His Pa.
"Who are those men over there,
pa?" said an observing youngster the
other day, "those men with their
heads so close together?"
"They are the leaders," my son, replied the fond father, "leaders of the
Clare county democracy., They are
telling each other about it."
"About what, pa?"
" Wby, about the campaign—that is,
about how they are going to wipe the
earth with the Republicans this fall.
Tbis is the season of the year when
they have these spells. It does 'em a
whole lot of good and it won't do anybody any harm."
"But, pa, are there more of them
than there are of us?"
"No, indeed, child. They were
about 80,000 shy two years ago."
"Then I don't see how they make
themselves think they can beat us."
"Well," replied the old gentleman,
"that puzzles other people too. But
they do make themselves think so. If
you notice those men any time in August or September every second year,
you'll see them with their heads together, punching each other playfully
in the ribs and giving other eyidences
of delight. They always tell each-
other the same thing—how easy it's
going to be to elect their man, how
the republicans are a set of noodles
that won't see through tbeir game but
how thousands and thousands of them
will just fall over themselves to vtite
for the democratic candidate and bow
they will laugh at them after election
for doing it. They acted just this way
about Bryan and said the same things
when Fisher was their candidate for
Governor, then again when Sligh was,
and when Whiting was two years ago
they had this same kind of a spell in
August and were tickled 'most to
death about how Maybury was going
to beat Bliss all to pieces. It's their
way, boy."
"They didn't beat Bliss did they pa?
He's governor now is'nt he?"
"Sure thing 'he's governor. They
didn't beat one side of him. This
time though they claim they've got
together while last time they scattered their votes around. That's why
they are tickled."
"But what difference will that
make, pa? That won't make Bliss'
vote any less. There didn't any of
them rote for Bliss two years ago, did
there?"
New lines of Dress Goods, Suitings, Waistings, Flannels,
Blankets, Outings, Etc. are being received daily.
We are preparing for the largest fall business we ever
transacted by showing the largest assortment ever carried in
this vicinity and pricing everything at the very lowest figures.

"Not a single mother's son of them
voted for Bliss, my boy. They pretend 40,000 or 50,000 Republicans are
going to vote against Bliss just to
please them. That would take 20 or
25 bolters in every voting place in the
state."
"Rats," said the bov. Just then he
caught sight of another youngster up
the street who was holding up two
fingers and a moment later .the two
boys were biking for the swimming
hole at the north bridge.
Strong-Welch.
The marriage of Miss Grace M.
Strong of Paw Paw and Fred A. Welch
of Clare was solmnized at St. Joseph.
Wednesday, September 20th. After
the cesemony the happy couple went
on a wedding trip to Chicago and are
now visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
James Welch in Clare.

in Glare and is known by nearly everyone here and Mrs. Welch is a product
of California but at tne time of her
marriage was one of Paw Paw's popular young ladies. The Sentinel extends congratulating.

Arbor Railroad will give another of

Annual School Meeting.
It is in every way desirable that
there be a large attendance at tbe
annual school meeting next Monday
evening at tbe high school. Tbe maintenance of our schools involves this
year the expenditure of sixty per cent
of the taxes raised. Two-fifths of
this amount however is for the paying of the indebtedness standing
against the district, now $8,000.
When this is kept in mind, it becomes
evident that our schools are administered as economically as any in the
state. Tbat the board of education
has planned wisely must be evident to
all. But there are still important
matters for consideration and the
business men and property holders as
well as parents should be present at
this important meeting.
The term of offlce of two trustees,
O. W. Perry and O. H. Sutherland, expire at this time and in view of their
efficient word there can be no
question as to their re-election but to
prevent any cliques or any political
considerations from dominating the
meeting, let the representative people of our city be present to endorse
these two men who have stood loyal
to the best interests of our schools.
Neither political considerations nor
PERSONAL SPITE nor PREJUDICE should
Influence us wben we vote for men
for our board of education. The one
consideration that should control us
is, the general weli being of our
schools. Clare ls proud of her schools
and there is every-disposition to continue their development.
BALOON ACCIDENT.
A. L.
Seeley of Farwell Looses His *
Life.
A. L. Seeley, Jr., who has for some
time been in the balooh exhibition
business, while making an ascension*
at Homer, Illinois, last Thursday fell
400 feet and was fatally injured, remaining unconscious to the time of
his death, Monday evening. The body
was brought back to Farwell and the
funeral took place this morning at
ten o'clock, Rev. L. C. Frost conducting the services.
It is thought that the parachute did
not work because the Opening at the
top of it was too large. Mrs. Seeley
was killed in a similar way less than a
year ago. The young man's farther,
L. C. Seeley, is the only near relasive
surviving and mush sympathy is expressed for the old gentleman, who. is
himself well nigh an invalid.
