The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1895-01-12

giving the best of satisfaction, both to the
parents and scholars, for IL such was not
the case he certainly would not have
occupied the position he does at the prce-
ent time. Prof. Tuck graduated from the
Hillsdale college and state normal school
Of Pennsy lvania, and for severel years
was engaged in school work In that state.
He has now had twenty-five years of ex-
perience In educational work, and Is un-
doubtedly one Of the ablest instructors In
the upper peninsula. The schools Of L'Anse
have prospered more under his principal
ship than that OF any other instructor that
was ever placed at their head and the
school officers and the people In general
realize that fact, and 1t Is their aim to
keep him there as long as he Ii willing to
stay. He expresses himself as being high
ly pleased with this country, and moro
especially L'Anse, as he say that nowhere
can be found a more hospitable class OF
people than right here, and above all they
have the educational interests of the city
at heart and are doing all In their power
toward making their public schools the
best In the state. As we look over this
well arranged institution and casually
note Its admirable system, our ''good old
days Of yore'' when as a promising but
corrigible scion we were consigned to the
tender mercies of the "Old Irish school
master" with the inevitable birch close
within his reach to enable him to expedi.
tiously correct all such trifing irregulari-
ties AS whiting benches and desks, throw
i,a bal
string behind big oak blackboard, to my
best girl who sat on the other side, and
any and oil such boyish propensities. But
times have changed and we cannot pine
for the return Of the "good old days"
Next in order come the various religious
denominations which we find established
here for the spiritual good of this happy
family. We use the word family as APP
piled to town advisedly. As the men,
bers of a household are banded together
ny the ties Of kindred, love and affection,
so the citizens Of a town are but members
If large family banded together by simi-
larities of mutual interest and sympathy.
AS one member of the human family cam
not be injured without the rest suffering
so the member of the family or town can
not be affected without reflex action on
all the others. All interests center in one
grand local point, the general welfare. We
find here the M. e. Society, with Rev. +.
o. Jones in charge, and he also has charge
of the Indian mission. Rev. Jones came
10 this charge from Iowa, the native state
If the writer of this article, and he has
made many warm and personal friends
during the time he has made his home in
L'Anse We also find the
Catholic Society
well organized here and 1t is known as the
SACRED Heart Church, This religious
society was established In this country
over 80 years ago by Rev. Father Terhorst
who labored long and faithfully In the call
Of his church in those early days, when
the membership was very small, and he
had all the trials and hardships ola pioneer
life. From very small membership, the
church has rapidly gained In members un-
til it is now one Of the strongest religious
societies In Baraga county, and to Rev.
Terhorst is due great deal of credit t'.sre-
for. 1t is now under the pastssate of Rev
Father VIM. II. Joisten, and although he
has been in charge only about year, yet
he has made friends with all, and Is hard
and constant worker for his creed and
church. Father Joisten graduated from
one of the leading colleges for the educa-
lion of priests in Germany, and has been
engaged in church work for four years,
lie is an indefatigable worker, and during
he short time he has been located In our
midst, he has greatly increased the men,
,ership and to him is due the credit Of get
ing the new church edifce under way the
ociety are now erecting. This place of
Worship will DO one the largest and finest
n the upper peninsula country when CON-
leted. 1t is to be built of stono that was
