Annual Report of the President
Just Issued.
INSTITUTION is GROWING
New Courses of Study Have Been O..
fered-A Very High Grade OF Work
Has Been Made Possible at
the School.

President D. E. Sanders of the state
normal school at Dillon is in the city.
He has just issued the report of the
school for the year ending Nov. 90,
which presents many points of interest
to the people of this state.
The growth of the school has been
very satisfactory. Twenty counties
have had representatives in attendance
and several other states have been rep
resented. The enrolment since Sep
TENDER of this year shows an increase
over previous years and more students
for the regular courses. The students
are sufficiently mature to do a high
grade of work. Many of them have
taught term or more of school.
Owing to the change in the law con-
corning normal school diplomas, it was
thought best to strengthen the courses
of study. This was done and the new
courses of study were offered in Sep
TENDER The new courses of study COM
pare very favorably with those of the
best normal schools. The following
courses are now offered: Three-year,
tour-year and professional. A prepara-
tory course of one year is also given.
The three-vear course embraces the fol-
lowing subjects: Grammar. rhetoric,
American and English literature, crltl-
cism, algebra. physiology, botany,
chemistry, physics, American and gen.
eral history. elementary economy, phil
osophy and history of education. read
ing, drawing and vocal music, each 20
weeks: arithmetic. physical geography,
English history, civics. each 10 weeks !;
psychology and pedagogy, so weeks; OBJ
servation and practice, 60 weeks; geom-
etry, 80 weeks.
The four-year course includes all Of
the three-year and the following. in
addition: Latin for two or four years,
German, elective, for two years, higher
algebra, geology, economics and
trigOnometry.
The professional course requires one
year in professional subjects in addi-
tion to the three-year course.
Graduates of strong high schools,
fouryear courses, may complete the
threeyear course in two years; the
fouryear, or PROFESSIONAL in three
years.
The completion of the building at
fords ample room for all the work of
the school. There are now three we'll
equipped laboratories. physics, chem
istry and biology-these give every IA
cility for the work required by the
courses of study. and permit advanced
work in special lines. The completion
of the building also enables the school
to offer advanced students opportunity
for practice with sections from the
classes of the preparatory departments.
This will make it possible to do much

new STORY ABOUT CAD
She Was Known as "Such a Nice
Girl, Too"
HOW SHE SAVED A LIFE
She Displayed Great Bravery and Hero
ism-Rsscued Miner From the
Yukon-He Gave Her a
Unique Belt.

They have new story or rather a
new version of the old one, about Cad
Wilson and her Klondike belt of gold.
Cad, who used to be known as "Such a
Nice Girl, Too among her concert hall
friends in Butte, won the belt by saw
ing a life and displaying great bravery
and heroism in doing so, according to
the late story. The Chicago Chronicle
tells it in this way:
In little south side fiat doth hang
belt and on that belt doth hang a
tale. a Thanksgiving tale of date one
year ago. The occupant and the owner
of the belt is whilom Dawson City
actress of the song and dance variety,
who returned from tie Klondike a few
weeks ago. She had her little say in
the papers and she told some stories.
but she didn't tell the one I'm going to
relate. If you were in Dawson you
would know her as the Such a Nice
Girl, Too of the placards.
"She reached Dawson Nov 6, which
is just two days before the floating ice
damned and stopped for the winter.
The next night she began singing at
the Monte Carlo theater for more mon
ey each night than she had ever made
in week in the states. Peeping
through one of the cracks between the
hemlock slabs that made her dressing
room she saw the great full moon rising
over the glistening snow and was
tempted. Creeping out by the side door,
she started for walk along the road
beside the Yukon toward Hospital hill.
Hank! What was that? A call? She
strained her ears and turned toward
the center of the river. Yes, someone
was calling for help, some man, but
why? 1t was plain. The man was in q

swift current bad broken up the ice
and started it down stream. In a few
moments he would be beyond aid, car
ried down to the ground by the ice on
the bluff at Moosehead creek. There
was no time to run for help: She start
ed forward, aimlessly, and stumbled
over a loose rope that had held a raft
against the bank. Selling it. she ran
out on the free ice TO the edge She
threw the rope across the 20 feet Of
floating ice separating her from the
boat. A polling hook caught the rope;

Graduating Class Banquetted.

The banquet given by the junior to
the senior class of the high school and
the high school teachers at the Armory
Friday night, was nicely planned affair
and was carried through without any
thing to mar the pleasure of the event.
The large drill hall was handsomely
decorated and transformed with great
easy chairs, rockers, and sofas, while
potted plants were used in profusion.
A great green and white bouquet in
honor of the class colors formed the
center piece of each of the eight tables.
During the banquet, music was fur
nished by Mr.. F. NJ Grove, who pre-
sided at the piano to the satisfaction of
all, both during the banquet and after
the toasts.

After a Convention for Owosso.

Wilson Tent No. 169 X. o. T. M. held
a special meeting Monday night to con-
slider the matter of joining the northern
and central Michigan association of the
Knights and Ladies of the Maccabees,
an action which was strongly urged
upon them by visiting deputies and
especially by the Maccabees of Cadillac
where the 1899 anniversary celebration
is now on. The result was that in
spite of the short notice the tent voted
to attend, to join the association and If
need be turn Cadillac upside down in
order to get the next annual meeting
for Owosso. AS the Cadillac Maccabees
are strongly in favor of bringing the
next years meeting to Owosso and
others as well, are determined that it
shall come south somewhere, at least
Owosso's chances are especially good.
Besides the degree team and regular
delegates, considerable number of
other members of the X. o. T. Nj. and
l.. o. Il. M. are in attendance on the
convention. Those who will officially
represent Wilson Tent are E j. Sheldon,
E. Broefiie, Eugene May, Geo. Welte,
w. G. Grow, +. w. Smith, r. Shepard.
Alternates j. Padden, j. Gray, F. Mack,
G. Mclean, j. l.. Curtis, E. Titus, F..
Mosely. The most of the members left
on special train at five o'clock this
morning.
The Owosso degree team has been
highly congratulated on its work and
is credited with looking with longing
eyes in the direction of fifty dollar
prize offered to the best team. Whether
they succeed in capturing either of the
prizes offered or not they certainly in
tend to capture the next annual con-
vention for Owosso, which will mean
from 12, 900 to $1,000 Maccabee visitors
for three days.

THEIR HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
DONE,

Large Glass Presented with diplomas
in Presence of an Interested Audience
Wednesday Ever ing-A Scholarly
Address by Dr. Colledge.
Long before the time for beginning
the program for Commencement exer
cises, Wednesday night, the spacious
auditorium, assembly room, side rooms
and galleries of the Baptist church
presented scene of more than ordi-
nary animation. The last finishing
touches were being put to things and
the Juniors, full Of responsibility for
the proper seating of the audience,
the handling of the flowers and other
presents brought for the graduates
were everywhere in evidence. The
evening outside was fairly cool, but the
unparalleled June heat of the few pre-
ceding days had made the church warm
and the audience, as usual on such
occasions, suffered more or less from
the heat.
At the proper time and before the
audience had had time to pass from
state of expectancy to one of irritation
the stirring notes of popular march
were heard from the pipe organ and the
class of 80 marched on the platform
from hall way in the rear. When they
had all taken their places and Supt. Aus
stin stood ready to give them the signal
to be seated and Prin. ID. F. Mertz and
the speaker of the evening, DR.. William
A. Colledge were also in their places,
the class took their seats without
trace of confusion and the program
was ready to be carried on further.
The high school chorus under the
direction of Miss Swartz then sang
Guonods Praise Ye the Father"
with precision and expression, two
qualities which it may be said here
were characteristic of the other musical
selections which were Ergmann's
Might" sung by the high school
Octette Vincent's merry June" sung
by the girls chorus, and Tufts The
Quiet Valley" by the full chorus

be ashamed to die If he gave up the idea
of gaining more wisdom. Relatively
speaking, a high school graduate doesn't
know much, and yet after they gradu-
ate some seem glad to give up their
books and give up their minds-which
in such cases usually do not amount to
much2to society. Don't give your
selves up to society, as it is commonly
understood. Society is rotten to the
core, and you will not find the best in
it. Rather make the greatest authors
your friends.
Cultivate virtue and moral goodness.
There is nothing SO full of joy as to be
good and pure. To be like Him is to
own the very springs of joy. Rise into
divine fellowship if you wish to know
what joy is. Then neither poverty, sick
ness. nor death can interfere. Be be-
nevolent, not selfish. But be so of your
own free will. God intended that you
should find your joy in the exercise of
your freedom. Without freedom there
would be no character. But it's ter
rible thing, this freedom, for the power
to be good implies the power to be bad.
God could have made us without this
power, but in that case we could have
been neither commendable nor con-
demnaSle. We could never know joy
without freedom.
There is a great deal of scientific non
sense today about heredity. The idea
is advanced that we are simply our
ancestors living over. Pushed to the
extreme, some would have it, this
leaves no room for responsibility. 1t
leaves no place for the formation of
character. Heredity is sop, pallia-
tive, an Il couldn't help it" sort of a
thing for lazy people who will not
make themselves into something good
and useful. If a person knows himself
to have certain hereditary traits which
work against him he should summon
all his will to battle against such traits
Initiate Napoleon who said: 81 am my
own ancestry" Don't permit your
self to make any cowardly yielding to
hereditary influences or to environment
either. Take your bearings carefully
then 90 to work and make your owr
character.
All are supposed to be in search o.
happiness but don't mistake an abuse
of moral freedom for happiness. Sucf
a large liberty proves to be only
liberty to suffer pain. The way of tht
trausgressor is hard. God has writer
this law in our bodies, in nature, anc
in our very soul, and the violation
brings.its own penalty.
But God wants us to have the great
est pleasure and is always calling III
upward and onward He tells US how
to be happy, to be good and true
Blessed are they that do his command

the year just passed showed what the
personal initiative will do aud it opened
the eyes of Europe. To the members
of the class he said that their whole
course had been designed to develop
the personal initiative in each, to train
them TO think and act for themselves,
to make them independent.
These very brief remarks, the key
note to the whole school course, being
ended, Supt. Austin distributed the
diplomas to the members of the class
who rose to receive them. The whole
ceremony was short and impressive.
