Frequently Subject of Attack.


The attacks upon Carnegie were at
one time numerous. He was often ac-
cused of having violated in practice
what he had so consptSuously preach
ed in theory, regarding labor. He saw
the development Of workingmen.s
unions and sometimes was forced to
concede their demands. He himself
claimed to have always maintained a
relatively higher wage in his mills
than any other manufacturer.
His theory on this subject and 9TH
ers is reflected at random in numer-
Gus bith of epigrammatic phraseology
culled from hts Interviews, speeches
and writings.
His terse comment on subjects-pov-
business organisation. good reading,
home and peace-he has scat
tered through his books, even more
widely than his princely gifts.
There are two Carnegie gifts
which will be generally forgotten.

School Commissioners
Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

Although the week was by numerous
other public duties, the commissioner
made twelve short spring visits during
the past week among the rural schools.
The immediate purpose of the spring
visits this year is assisting the teachers
in their work for the township school
days. The teachers are almost un-
animous in their feeling that the con-
test is great incentive for better work,
and helps to remove one argument
against the rural school-small classes
and lack OF competition.
Due to the irregular terms and the
great amount of sickness in the county
this year, the commissioner will not
send out term examinations as final
tests. Each teacher is urged to give
her own final examinations and TO
plan that the shortage of this year may
be finally completely made up in 1919
1920.
Peaine No. l school director reports
that they will probably have ten months
OF school next year. This will help
greatly in making up for time lost in
sickness this year.
From twenty-five schools asking for
teachers only four asked for teachers
who would accept less than $50 per
month. Those asking for experienced
teachers.
April 21-25 is "Be Kind to Animals"
week.
In another column of this paper will
be found legal notice of teachers exa-
mination April 24-25.
Boyne Valley teachers held second
meeting last week.
Attendance was never better than at
the present time. Again the Gill school
reports no absence for two weeks.
Scarcely any absence anywhere except
for sickness and very little of that.

Also watch extension work in library

Coming Home
Expects to Start About the First

Among the good news received here
in letters from overseas, is the infor-
nation that the Thirty-second Division
(which includes carbohydrates Com
pany Soldiers) expects to start from
Germany on. their ',homeward bound
trip about the first of May. just when
the East Jordan contingent will finally
reach their home here is problematic,
but it will undoubtedly be some time
in June.
If they should return in June, then
the East Jordan contingent will have
seen exactly three years service. The
order for Company l., 33rd M. N. G. to
mobilize was received at the Armory
here on Monday, June 10th, 1916. This
was for Mexican border work.. and the
33rd was among the few regiments still
held in the service when war was de-
clared on Germany-June 9TH, 1917.
On Saturday, July 1st, 1916, East Jor-
dan gave these soldiers a farewell
demonstration. On that morning
thousands of people from our city and
surrounding county were at the depot
to see them. start for Camp Ferris-the
first lap OF what was destined to be a
long, long trail. :.
Let us start planning now to give
these heroes an even better public re-
ception ON their homecoming. p
