School Efficiency Tests

Prof. w. d. White has recently put
in force in the public schools of Clio a
scheme whereby the efficiency of teach
ing methods may be guaged with con-
siderable accuracy. In every business
which is carried on according to modern
standards some scheme is used for
measuring results. 1t is, of course,
highly desirable that some such system
be applied to schools, which are really
the most important business institu-
tions in the country. The system which
Prof. White is employing is in use in
Detroit and many other cities and vii
lagos, where advanced ideas are in
vogue, and promises to be very advan-
tageous. If pupil is found falling be-
hind in his standings, test is applied,
the cause determined and the remedy
provined. The tests are such as ex-
periedce in many thousands of cases
have demonstrated are correct. The
benefits to be derived from keeping
pupils "up" in their studies are almost
incalcuable.

While the Years Are Going By

There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the years are going by;
There are weary souls who perish
While the years are going by.
If smile we can renew
AS our journey we pursue,
Oh, the good that we may do,
While the years are going by
There's no time for idle scorning
While the years are going by;
Let your face be like the morning
While the years are going by.
Oh, the world is full of sighs.
Full of sad and weeping eyes!
Help your fallen brothers rise
While the years are going by.
All the loving links that bind us
While the years are going by
One by one we leave behind US
While the years are going by.
But the seeds of good we SOW
Both in shade and shine will grow
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the years are going by.

CHAUTAuQUA CONTRACT
SIGNED FOR NEXT YEAR
COMMUNITY SYSTEM WILL FUR
NISH PROGRAM
Lecturers of National Reputation Will
Appear and Many Other Charming
Entertainers

On Friday, Of last week, a contract
was signed between various citizens of
Clio and the Community Chautauqua
System for the production of a Chau-
tauqua in Clio in 1916. The time for
the holding of the Chautauqua will be
about the middle of August and it will
consist of five day program, with
numbers each afternoon and evening,
as was the case last year. Among the
various attractions will be Edgar Allen
Fallansbee, lecturer of national repu-
tation, the Alpine Yodlers, the original
company that came over from Switxer-
land to sing at the st. Louis exposition,
and that later appeared on the same
platforms as did Col w. j. Bryan, and
other noted men in Chautauqua work;
there will also be splendid Venetian
Quartette and an Italian Band of
twenty pieces. These, of course, are
only a few items of the program, which
will consist of ten or more separate and
distinct numbers. The Community Sys-
tenn, with whom the contract has been
made, has been operating in Michigan
for several years and the satisfactory
character of its service is evident in
the fact that it has been able to re-
write its contracts in 73 out of rs towns
where it has heretofore given exhibi-
tions. One of the officers of the COM
pany personally negotiated the con-
tract for Clio and assured the gentlemen
who signed it that the program to be
given next year would be equal in every
respect to the one produced here this
year, which gave such general satisfac-
tion. 1t may, perhaps, be proper to
state that the reason why another con-
tract was not signed with the Lincoln
people was that they had increased
their guaranty from $3.50. 90 to $3.50. 90,
an increase which, with the total local
and incidental expense. would bring the
total cost of the entertainment to at
least $4,000. This figure seemed pro-
hibitive in Clio, and as a consequence
the Community contract, offering a
program which it is claimed is equally
as good, was signed. This contract has
a guaranty clause of $650.OO, and pro-
vides that entertainment of talent and
all the work of erecting and taking
down seats and tent shall be done by
the Chautauqua Company, the latter an
eminently sensible provision which will
relieve the local committee of much
trouble and expense.
The price of tickets for adults will be
s1.50, the same as last year, and chill
dren's tickets 75c. There is not the
slightest doubt but that the people of
this section were much pleased, and
profited as well, by the splendid Chau-
tauqua given here this year, and there
can be equally little doubt but that the
one prepared for next year will be ac-
corded abundant support and patronage.

Interesting Mementoes

Chas. Barker brought to our Office
this week very interesting memento
of the war of 1912, in the shape of a
letter written by his grandfather, Capt.
Oliver Barker, of Quebec, to relative
in the States. The letter is dated April
Goth, 1915, and discloses the fact that
Capt. Barker served with the Canadian
militia during the war, as in it he re-
fers to the unjust, unprovoked and
disgraceful war which the United
States waged against these unoffend-
ing provinces" He tells how they
trimmed us, too, in one place, saying:
"And in an engagement of three
hours and half with Gen. Wilkinson s
whole army consisting of 5000 men and
a considerable train of artillery, main
tanned my position. and killed and
wounded of the invaders, as many men
as had under my command, exclusive
of the prisoners took from them."
The letter fills about four pages of
foolscap, the language is faultless and
the writing. although executed with a
quill pen, is unusually legible and beau
tiful. From printers standpoint, the
paper on which the letter is written is
interesting. 1t is of splendid quality
and bears a water mark, as does the
best writing paper of the present day.
Capt. Barker died at Quebec in 1919,
and his grandson is in possession of
copy of the printed invitation to his
funeral which reads as follows: ''Sir:
The favor of your company is requested
to attend the funeral of the late Oliver
Barker, Esq, Wednesday next, from
the house of Mr.. Burt, No. A, Cham
plain St., to the place of interment. +"
In addition to the papers Mr.. Barker
has loaned The Messenger beautiful
panoramic view of the battlefield of
Gettysburg, taken on the 5Oth anniver-
sary Of the battle. Mr.. Barker was
present at the celebration and was also
on the scene fifty years previously,
when the losses on both sides totaled
about SIS, 200. The picture may be seen
in The Messenger window.

WATERWORKS PLANS
FULLY COMPLETED
WOULD AFFORD PROTECTION TO
ENTIRE TOWN
Engineer Murdock Estimates Cost At
$2s, 100000. Will Be Submitted to
Voters Soon

Engineer Russell A. Murdock, of De-
troit, was in town Monday, and left for
the approval of the council complete
detailed plans for the installation of a
waterworks system for Clio, the same
comprehending fire protection and
domestic service.
1t is the engineers idea that the
pumping station be located at the rear
of the council room, where wells for
the water supply would have to be
driven. In case water is found in suffi-
cient quantities and of good quality an
electric pump would be installed which
would force the water into an elevated
tank whereby the required pressure
would be maintained in the mains. The
pump would be automatic, so that all
it would require in the way of care
would be to see that it was oiled, say
once day, and cleaned as often as
might be necessary.
According to the blue print of the
engineer about five miles of mains
would be laid in the streets, those on
Vienna, Mill and Pine Streets extend
ing to the limits. This would make
very complete system and would insure
service to practically every house,
factory and building within the corpor-
ate limits.
1t is expected the council will take
action on the approval of the plans at
its next meeting, at which time all citi-
zens who are interested are invited to
be present. In case the plans are ap-
proved, which seems likely, it is pro-
posed to submit the question of bonding
for the improvement to the voters at
an early date. The village has not at
the present time dollar of bonded
indebtedness outstanding against it.
There is a small debt owing to the Sag
nav Paving Brick Company, but pay
ment of this is provided for through
special assessment.
Engineer Murdock says he has
been assured that if the waterworks
are put in the whole town will be given
an insurance rating much lower than
that now in force.
We are not. at this time. going to
argue at any length the desirability or
advisability of this improvement, but
we are just going to say that this is
growing and progressive age. Little
towns all around us are supplying the
necessities and conveniences of modern
life. If we want to retain the prestige
that we now undoubtedly have we must
not let them get the start of US. Mich
igan has many towns that have simply
died because they failed to keep step
with the march of progress.

VIM. Tufford Dead

Friends and neighbors of VIM. Tuf-
ford were painfully surprised last Mon
day morning when news of his death
became extant. He had been in failing
health for several years, but his condi-
ton did not appear to be alarming until
Wednesday of last week, when he was
compelled to go to bed. From this time
onward. he continued to fail, although
for the greater part of the time free
from pain, until Monday morning, Dec.
20. 1915, when he peacefully passed
away.
Mr.. Tufford was born at Beamsville,
Ont, Jan. l, 1848, where he passed his
boyhood days, coming to Michigan when
young man. An incident of his boy
hood was his enlistment in the Uuion
army, which he was forced to relinquish
by relatives because he was not of legal
age. Mr.. Tufford came to Clio in
March, 1873, and on the 26th day of
July, 1874, was united in marriage to
Miss Mary Reed, who survives him.
For many years he carried on black
smithing business in Clio, where he en-
joyed an unblemished reputation for in
dustry and integrity. Failing health
compelled him to retire from business
about three years ago since which time
he had found employment on his farm
just west of town. He was an upright
conscientious citizen. kind husband
and father, whose death will occasion
sincere sorrow to all who knew him.
He was member of Clio Lodges of Odd
Fellows and Foresters.
Beside the widow, above mentioned,
Mr.. Tufford is survived by one son,
John, who resides in Detroit, and by
two grandchildren, Earl and Gladys
Tufford, who reside here. also by two
brothers and seven sisters, who reside
at different points in the States and
Canada.
Funeral services were held from the
late home of deceased on Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. c. w. Green officiating,
and the remains were laid at rest in the
family lot in Woodlawn cemetery.
