WE CAN BOAST. TOO!

"There are 72 pupils enrolled in our
high school for the year. This is a lar
ger number than INLAY City or Yale
has and about half dozen less than
Marlette has. Yale and Inlay City
each have three high school teachers,
and Marlette has fOur."-North Branch
Gazette. We could not help but an
swer this clipping which we cut out of
the school notes in last weeks issue of
the Gazette. Although North Branch
has few more pupils enrolled in the
high room than we have about ten
more) yet is the standard of excellence
maintained in their school any higher
or as high as ours by reason of this =?
For the past two years our school has
been on the University List, and grad
uates from our school are not required
to take an entrance examination. We
are also OH the accredited list of Alma,
Hillsdale, Olivet, Albion, and the Mich
igan College of Mines, for a term of
years.
We have sent to the University, with
in the past four years, five graduates of
our school. besides number who did
not finish here.
We have in all eleven teachers, three
in the high room, six i'm the intermedi-
ate rooms and two i'm the primary de-
partment We have an excellent build
ing, room for each of the first eight
grades, a large high room with seat
ing capacity of over hundred, and a
roomy and well-lighted chemical and
physical laboratory with plenty of ap-
paratus, also well-equipped library
and superintendent office neatly fur
nished. There are two spacious play
rooms in the basement for the children
in bad weather; there are sanitary
drinking fountains on every floor. In
fact we have everything an up-to-date
public school needs.
The School Board recently purchased
new piano for the high room; also a
large number of reference and story
books for the library. A fine set of the
Britannica Encyclopedia was included
i'm this list. We ask North Branch if
she can beat this. Numbers do not
count for everything. 1t is the general
excellence maintained. AS regards
numbers Marlette has about twenty
more than Yale, but this year failed to
again be placed on the University List,
although on there the year before. We
think we have reason to be justly proud
and to boast of our achievements, al
though we have not quite so many en-
rolled as some of our boasting sister
high schools.

KILLED BY TRAN.

Two Harbors, Mimi, Feb. 4.-Barney
Heath, woodsman, was so badly in
jured by Duluth IL Iron Range train
at Hornby, a station on that road twen-
ty-nine miles north of here, that he
died shortly after reaching a hospital.
Heath in company with some others
was coming up from Duluth to work at
Smiths camp near Basset station. The
train slowed up at Hornby and it is
claimed that the train crew urged the
men to Jump off while the train was in
motion so that it would be unnecessary
to come to a full stop. AS Heath
jumped he struck snow drift that
was piled up between the tracks and
rolled back under the train. He was
dragged forty yards before the train
was brought to a stop, when it was
found that his left leg had been
crushed from the knee down. He was
brought to a hospital at Biwabik but
before he reached there he had lost so
much blood that nothing could be done
for him. He was about 80 years of
age and has relatives living in Avoca,
Mich.
The above article was clipped from
the Duluth Dispatch and refers to
Mernie Heath instead of Barney. He
was a son of Hiel Heath and for several
years his people knew nothing of his
whereabouts. His many friends i'm this
neighborhood where he was well known
will regret to learn of his death

We give below the words of a song
written by Mrs. o. M. ellis for the

sung at the institute by the pupils of
Amitie school:
We have come with hearts so light
The farmers here to meet,
To see the produce they have brought
Their prosperity to hear.
Cane and corn and oats and rye
With millet, speltz and wheat,
Yielded SO well in Phillips county.
Chorus. Hurrah! hurrah! for Phillips
county men,
Hurrah! hurrah for Phillips county land
We've formed ourselves into band
To help where'er we can
The farmers of dear old Phillips county
The hog, the horse, the sheep the COW
Have all been proven profit,
They have the best that can be found
Between the east and west.
The north and south have made their bow
And all have said hurrah!
For the farmers of dear old Phillips
county.
We have our churches and our schools
Our city is all right
We have our homes protected by
Our Heavenly Fathers might
And now wen grow and grow and grow
And some day we may be
The farmers of dear old Phillips county
We ladies' do our work as well
With chickens eggs and butter
We keep our homes wherein we dwell
Without the least of bother.
We're glad the pure food law has passed
That we may serve repasts
To the bachelors of dear old Phillips
county.
