 How many parents know Of cer- t&inty that their children are really advancing in their studies? How many parents know whether their boys and girls can write 8 better business CT friendship letter now than they could this time last year?
 How many of our parents have visited our public schools during the present year and have seen the pupils and teachers at their daily work: If pa irons do not visit their schools and see for themselves whether their teachers can teach or govern how, pray, can they learn anything definite? Suffer this plain illustration. If you had, say, five miles in the country, d horse, mule, COW, sheep or gCat ranch and had men ! Ay J1nVn1 tn fna1 onA Chn1tnp them, how often would you visit the ranch and find out how your stock is improving whether your hands are properly caring for your stock? This would De very natural, because you have money invested in your ranch and stock and you desire to obtain the highest market price for them. Now draw the comparison. you have boys and girls, your precious children, in our public schools and these children are the oncoming citizens who are to wield a mighty influence iD shaping the destiny Of our state. our churches, and our national life. Think of this matter and then you will agree that you should visit your public schools and see your children and teachers in their daily work-their daily environments and then you will be better prepared to sympathize and to cooperate with beth teachers and trustees in the vast work of pushing forward the great cause Of our public schools.
 Here are some good reasons why you should be interested in the complete success of your children's education:
 l. The value of the material on which your teachers are working-the training of your childrens' minds for veal or woe in this life.
 ?. The wonderful improvability of the minds Of cur boys and girls.
 ,. The shOrtness of time and the feeting opportunities that are passing so swiftly by, never to return.
 1. The imperishable and far-reach- ing consequences of the teachers work upon the immortal minds of your boys and girls.

MOCK SENATE.
CIeverIy Presented by the Phi Phi Alpha
society in College Chapel.

The annual public" of the Phi Phi
Alpha Literary Society was given in the
College chapel, Monday evening. Ii
took the nature of a mock senate and
the proc eedings of the upper hoase of the
United States congress were presented
in "A very credible manner. This was a
departure from the customary order of
society publics which usually consists of
orations and essays by a few members,
but by this plan the entire membership
was able to take part, and at the same
time an idea of the work done by the
society was given.
The program consisted of two parts,
the first being committee meeting of
some of the senators for the examination
of senator Reed Smoot. This was made
very interesting by the introduction of
petitions from local organizations for
the unseating of Senator Smoot
The second part of the program con-
sisted of the senate in which bills were
presented, and many present day topics
were discussed and acted upon. The
intermingling of wit and humor and
drives" upon different students tended
to make this part of the program highly
entertaining. On the whole the public"
was good one and Phi Phi Alpha is to
be congratulated upon making a success
of the novel idea

GAVE TALK ON ETIQUETTE
Shirts With Upturned Collars
Barred from Wright Hall.

Alma College has always been for the
highest culture not only that to be de-
rived from books, but emphasis is also
laid upon morals manners, and all that
goes to make for the highest develop
ment of character. In accordance with
these principles, Miss Allen, dean of
Wright Hall, gave little talk TO the
boys who board at the college dining
hall, one day last week, in which she
touched upon many of the rules of
etiquette which students are apt TO for
get. Among other things she spoke
against the habit persisted in by some
of appearing in the dining room wear
ing flannel shirt with the collar turned

Some Further Changes Necessary
for Relief Of the Legislature.
FLOODED WITH LOCAL BILLS.
Governor Warner Gives PROMPT
Attention TO Charges Against
Offending Officials
4, lansing. March 20. 1905

Lansing, March ~, 100.
A delegation from Montcalm county
waited upon Governor Warner one day
last week and preferred charges against
the prosecuting attorney of that county
for neglect of duty in failure 10 prosecute
violations of the local option law, and
asking his dismissal from Office. The
governor promptly referred the case 10
Attorney General Bird for investigation,
and upon his report the governor will
act. Governor Warner has shown a
ready responsiveness to all demands of
the duty he has assumed of executing
the laws, and requiring that all officers
in subordinate positions shall likewise
observe the obligations resting upon
them. The case of Mr.. butcher, of the
board of control for the asylum at New
berry, was a good illustration of this.
There was no hesitation or delay in re-
curing him TO vacate his Office, as soon
as the investigation showed that he had
violated the law in profiting by contracts
for supplies, though IL was not shown
that the state had suffered any financial
loss thereby. Mr.. butcher made the
plea that he had committed no moral
wrong, but only technical violation of
the law since he only charged the state
the market price for the wood he sold.
But Governor Warner believed that no
officer could violate the law which he
had taken an obligation 10 obey without
committing a moral wrong and showing
himself unfit for the trust that had been
reposed in him,

PASSED FIFTY.FIRST MILESTONE
T.. 4. Potter Gets "A Surprise, but Cele-

Ssecial correspondent to the Record.
Mrs. +. A. Potter, wife of Supervisor
Potter of Sumner township, planned a

of his estimable wife they have carved
out for themselves pleasant farm home.
With the aid of a telephone Mrs. Potter
invited Mr.. and Mrs. ]. b. Tubbs, Mr.
and Mrs. r. A. Wood, Mr.. and Mrs. w
T. Pitt and their son, Myron, and wife
10 dinner. As we drove up to the house
we found Mr.. Potter busily engaged i'll
splitting up his summers wood, and TO
say that he was surprised is putting II
very mild. He soon caught on, as
the old saying goes, and helped the
ladies out of the buggies and over the
ice 10 the door step-which was no small
task for ll5 pound man TO assist the
three 200 pound ladies TO place of
safety-but he did it and did il grace

orations were pink and green and the
dinner should be spelled with a capital
