BELONG A CITY
OF BEAUTIFUL
LAWNS AND HOMES
WELL KEPT PREMISES THE
RULE RATHER THAN THE
EXCEPTION

The sojourner through our fair city
is invariably impressed with the
beauty and attractiveness of the lawns
and residences. Without elaboration
of any kind the homes of Bedding are
well-painted, and kept in good repair.
Shrubbery is found skirting every
home and also growing in the odd
hooks and corners of the lawns.
Lawns in all parts of the city are
carefully clipped and free from weeds.
Edges are trimmed and ragged lines
along buildings and other places are
not allowed to thrive. More than the
usual amount of Towering plants were
planted around the dwellings last
spring. Window boxes are also in
abundance.
Another praise-worthy practice of
the residents of Bedding is their care
in providing for the comfort of the
birds. Scarcely home can be found
but has from one to half a dozen bird
houses placed at convenient places
about the premises. Few cities of
Michigan have as many birds, and as
wide variety, as come here annually
to remain during the summer months

ed.
The wedding presents were many

BRIDES cake, surrounding the small
tables on the lawn, while the bride
and groom accompanied by one of
their guests, Miss Minnie Cook, made
their escape in an automobile. and
caught the afternoon train for Beld-
ing, where they were entertained at
the home of Mrs. +. A. Cook until
Thursday a. M, when they left for

other points of interest. Miss Shell

her and her husband long and hap

Twenty YEARS IN
BANKING BUSINESS
HERE IN BELONG
VIM. +. SANDELL HAS MADE A
SUCCESS OF INSTITUTION
AND is ENLARGING

VIM. +. Sandell has been in the
banking business i'm Belding for
twenty years. He opened a bank in
the room now occupied by 4. Chapple
Il Co., on South Pleasant street in
June, 1896, and continued in the same
room almost sixteen years. Four
years ago he moved the banks quar-
tiers to its present location on West
Main street.
The early part of June Mr.. Sandell
began taking checking accounts, a
branch of the business he had never
encouraged before. With the open
ing of this new department SandelPs
bank now handles any business that
is usually transacted by bank. In
addition local agencies for several of
the leading insurnce companies are
located there.
During his twenty years as bank
er in Bedding Mr.. Sandell has been an
influential figure in the city's indust-
rial and financial growth. Conserva-
tive and far-sighted in all his BUSH
ness dealings he has made a success
for himself and has also given valu-
able advice of others, who were uncer-
years ago he maintained graduated
scale of interest on savings deposits,
and has never deviated from it.
In the advertisement of Sandel's
Bank this week Mr.. Sandell's invites
everyone to pay him visit and get
acquainted He also gives his interest
rates on savings deposits. Read it
on the last page of the Banner.

PIANO PUPILS GAVE
HOME RECITAL TUESDAY

A very commendable recital was
given by the piano pupils of Miss
Marguerite Lamb at her home on
South Pleasant street Tuesday even
ing. Upwards of ninety parents and
friends of her pupils were present.
The home was tastefully decorated
with roses and abundantly lighted.
The Misses Florence Fisher and Iris
McElroy we're the ushers.
The program of the evening, given
in two parts and each part having ten
numbers, was marred only by the in
ability of two of the students to APP
pear and by Clayton Knapp>being UNI
able TO sing. Miss Lambs mother
sang instead Of Mr.. Knapp.
All the parents were well pleased
with the success of the evening and
complimented Miss Lamb highly for
her ability in training her students.
AS her students advance in the work
it is noticed that they acquire the
grace and ease of action and also the
confidence of correct tones and vol
ume so necessary to successful must
clans. Special mention should be
made of the numbers rendered by
Miss Sarah Hawley, one of Miss
Lambs most advanced pupils. Miss
Hawley's rendition given in two parts
was classed as one of the best ever
heard at recital given by junior
pupils. She expects to take up mu-
sic in a college this fall.
The home recital, so popular in the
cities, is well-liked by local musicians
and is the usual practice of Miss
Lamb.

STUDENTS FAIL IN
EXAMINATIONS ALL
OVER MICHIGAN
SEVERAL PREVENTABLE CAUS-
ES WHY THESE FAILURES
EXIST

At this time of the year when re-
ports are coming in at Lansing of the
success or failure of the annual crop
of eighth grade pupils who recently
took the state examinations to qualify
for high school, the educational dag
nostications are again trying to figure
out why so many pupils fail to pass,
In one county, for instance, out of a
total of 1T who took the test 90 fail
ed to make the necessary grade. In
many other counties the proposition is
somewhat better, but the figures quot
ed are not far from the average.
Several reasons for this condition
have been advanced-low teachers
salaries with the resulting keeping
out of the profession of the highest
grade of men and women, poor
school plants in many counties, with
i'm sufficient educational equipment,
etc. But one factor that has hither-
to usually been overlooked is the part
disease plays in the annual crop of
failures. In many county there are
several minor epidemics during the
average school year, necessitating
pupils to be away from school ses-
sion during part of the year and caus,
ing them to fall behind. In the coun-
ty quoted above there were several
epidemics of a quite serious nature
during the past year, and the evidence
is strong that they had a vital rela-
ton to the poor record the pupils
made.
One of the answers to this educa-
tional problem 18th appointment of
more county visiting nurses, accord
ing to the state board of health Of
ficials. Only two counties in the state
Kent and Ottawa, have such nurses.
The work of the county nurse is large
ly to nip epidemics in the bud. The
state is spending hundreds of thou
sands of dollars each year for school
work of pupils who fail because of
such preveneable causes. This repre-
sents large waste annually, much of
which could be prevented by proper
health service and by providing other
similar agencies. The state could
thus help the pupils to put forth their
best powers during their school years.

SCHOOL PLANS FOR
COMING YEAR ARE
BEING FORMULATED
BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS AL
MOST COMPLETED WORK OF
HIRING TEACHERS
AGRICULTURAL COURSE
WILL MEET WITH FAVOR
Additional Room for School Purposes
Necessity; Matter Will Come
Up at Annual Meeting

The Board of Education has almost
completed the hiring of teachers for
the coming school year. One or two
positions are still in doubt but word
is expected from the person selected,
accepting the positions within a few
days. The list of teachers elected and
who have accepted situations % date
are: j. A. Langston, superintendent;
l.. Hockstad, principal; Freda NJ.
Brown, primary department; Rachael
V. Walton, primary department; Ula
Grace, seventh grade; Arthur j. Reed,
commercial department; Ruth Ager,
first grade; Sarah Hopwood, second
grade; Frances L. Bailey, eighth
grade; Sara Giddings, sixth grade and
domestic science; Magdelene DePore,
intermediate; Sarah Heinrich, inter-
mediate; Pearl Radcliffe, primary;
Gladys NJ. Bradt, music and drawing I;
George w. Pellet, agriculture and
manual training; Mary Underwood,
history and mathematics; Flora Will
lett, sixth grade; Georgia Ellery, kim
dergarten; Edna Bliss, seventh and
eighth grade assistant; Fairy Mount,
third and fourth grades; S. I. Roberts,
science; Grace Travis, English and
history.
The selecting of teachers to fill the
vacancies in the high school depart
ment graduates of universities and re-
putable colleges, have been chosen.
This brings the local schools up to a
first place position among the high
schools of the state and gives them a
place on the college list Patrons of
the schools are assured that their chill
dren will be given the best possible
instruction, the tutorage of college
graduates.
The agricultural department will be
of great advantage to students de-
string to take up a course of agricul-
tural as their specialties. In placing
this course the local school has taken
a step in advance Of any school in the
county and one which few high schools
of the state offer. Mr.. Pellet, the
teacher in charge, being a practical
man will be able to give the farmers
of the community much valuable as
sistance. AS he is also a pratical man
for the manual training department
much good may be expected of him
there.
Everything points to a very sue
cessful school year. Additional room
will, of necessity, be provided to take
care of the constantly increasing en-
rollment. This feature will come up
for discussion at the annual school
meeting.
