The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-01-08
Our Union school.

The fall term of our Union School which
closed Dec. 18th, was one of more than ordi-
nary work, and showed results unusually
satisfactory, results of which all may Justly
feel proud. Notwithstanding the excite
ment of heated political campaign and
novelties presented continually at the newly
opened place of amusement, there has been a
good degree of progress attained, although it
would be folly TO claim that these elements
OF excitement had not seriously hindered the
work, leaving results correspondingly below
what they would otherwise have been. 1t is
impossible to accomplish the highest degree
of success when pupils interests are thus di-
vided. "NO man can Ssrce tlrO masters"
The seating capacity of the High School
room proved far too limited for the increased
enrolment which was over II per cent in
advance of the corresponding terms of the
previous year, and over 100 per cent in adj
vance of the year before. Both Grammar
and upper intermediate rooms were filled to
overfowing, necessitating large additions to
their seating while all rooms showed full
ranks.
In nonresident attendance and tuition
the past term has probably exceeded that of
any former year for the corresponding term,
the income from this footing mp the hand
some sum of $2Si.50, certainly fine show
ing when VIC reflect that every dollar thus
received decreases school taxes by that
amount While our High School numbers
some 16 members less than the fall term of
1S79-the Big yoal'-the deficiency occurs
in the number of the resident pupils-our
school census having greatly decreased since
that time. The nonresident enrolment of
High School exceeds by 80 per cent that of
n. Ct.l., q
resident enrolment of entire school exceeds
that of entire school for whole year of 1879
by 43 per cent.
The heating and ventilating apparatus has
been still further improved, and new meth
ods adopted so that few buildings in the
state are so thoroughly and healthfully pre-
pared for the occupancy of pupils. Parents
notice marked decrease in the amount of
headaches and dizziness by which pupils
have been heretofore afflicted. The health
of the school has been remarkable with the
exception of mumps and chickenpox. These
diseases have cut down the attendance in
most annoying manner.
In examinations and marking greater care
and accuracy are being exercised. II is the
determination of those 20 whom the care of
the school is intrusted to make this not
merely in name, but IN fact and in work, the
banner school of this region. We aim not
at outside show but at results, the best of all
testimony of the success of an institution.
The money appropriated at the last dis
trict meeting for the purchase of apparatus
is being expended with much care and will
greatly add to the efficiency of the work of
the school.
A need sorely felt is that of a sufficient Ii
brary. The other schools of rank coordinate
with ours. throughout the state, are annually
expending large sums of money on their Ii

The suit of Palmer VS.. DeWaters was
quashed, the Justice losing jurisdiction by
adjourning the case in the absence of the
prosecution. Squire Palmer had business
at Kalamazoo the day the suit was to come
off, and thereby lost the opportunity of hear
ing the opinion of the parties concerning
him.
