IT'S WELL FOR BROTHERS
TO MEET TOGETHER
IN FELLOWSHIP

Brown City Lodge F. & A. M.
did itself proud on Tuesday, Feb.
9th, when it entertained about 200
brethren of the craft from nearby
cities and towns, likewise those of
it's own members.
Nine Fellowcrafts were raised
to the sublime degree of a Master
Mason in the afternoon and eve-
ming. 1t meant some work, but
Brown City officers and team were
equal to the task, with the assist
ance Of brothers from other LODI
ges.
Through invitation delegation
from our home lodge journeyed to
our sister town and took part in
the festivities.
At siX-thirty the members pres
ent were called from labor to re-
freshments and sat down to we'll
laden banquet tables in the dining
DOM which was prettily decorated
for the occasion. "A meal fit for g
king was served and all being
hungry ate their fill, in fact the
editor of the Expositor, who had
the pleasure of being present laid
in such a supply that when he was
called upon for a speech little
later in the evening he was too
full for utterance."
The work as oxemplified on this
occasion contained man. new
ideasand was very interesting and
instructive. The illustrated lecture
given the newly raised brothers
was most impressive and could moi
fail to give them an impetus to
read more and learn more about
Masonry.
1t would not come amiss in this
write-up to s; y word of commen
dation for Dir. Walsh, worshipfu
master, and the officers who assist
ed him in the work. They are near
ly all new in the positions held
but must have given it consider
able study and hard work, for al
had their parts committed to mem
ory and not a break was made.
Before closing several were
called upon and gave impromptt
speeches. Rev. Garnett, formel
secretary of Brown City lodge, bu
now pastor of the Methodist Epis
copal church at Durand, stated
that he came especially to attend
His talk was not only full of in
terest and serious thought, bu
the humorous side was touched
upon as we'll. Those who followed
him were Hugh Morris, attorne,
of Marlette, l.. II. Howse, forme
editor Of the Brown City Banner
Mr.. Baird, Of Pontiac, Mr.. Smith
of Marlette, not forgetting ou
own home men, Geo. Mcintyre an

in high terms of the principle
and benefits of masonry and tn

IT'S NOW UP
TO YALE PEOPLE
There's Nothing to Hinder Our
City From Having the Best =.
Celebration In County

A very interesting meeting was
held in the M. E. church parlors
last evening to talk over the COM
ing big celebration in st. Clair
county from July 3 to 9, in which
Yale will take part.
There were about forty present,
and everyone there is a booster for
the big event. Yale's day has been
set for Tuesday, July 5th. There
is no reason why our city cannot
make it real affair, starting on
Sunday, the 3rd, with special SER
vices in all the churches. Then q
regular old-fashioned celebration
on the Fourth, and wind up with
the centennial features on the 5th.
The committees had a short ses-
sion in the afternoon with DR..
Bacon, Miss Lambkin and Miss
Keith, and the work was thorough
ly gone over, and suggestions eX-
changed regarding the doings.
A mass meeting was called for
the evening, but there was not q
very large attendance, the lack
seemingly to come from our bust
ness men, the very ones who
should take an active part in an
affair of this kind.
The main part of the centennial
feature is a matter that should in
terest every resident of the city.
The history committee will be
busy from now on gathering inter-
esting bits of history from the
early davs. This will be put to-
gethel, and the parts of it that
can be arranged will be made into
a drama which will be staged in
the open air. Parts Of this big
pageant will be taken TO Port
Huron on the last day of the week
when a big county celebration will
be held.
The music committee is arrang-
ing for a chorus of as many voices
as can be obtained, and this will
make an interesting part of the
big program.
The homecoming committee
will try and get the names and adj
dresses of former Yale people,
and an invitation will be sent to
each one of them to come back and
spend the week in the old town.
The exhibit committee will be
busy from now on gathering old
relics from the pioneers, and big
display is looked for.
Ii you are d descendant Of one
of the older families you may re-
call some Of the stories and le-
gends told You about Chis locality

will put on one of the very best
days CT the weeh, anu the other

A FINE SUCCESS WAS
MADAME BUTTERFLY

Auditorium on Friday evening
last, staged by Mrs. Edna Peacock,
assisted by her pupils and others,
was an unqualified success, both
in point Of attendance and worth
whileness of the evening spent.
The program, as advertised, was
filed to the letter, not one number
missing, and the whole extremely
good.
The curtain rose on very pref
ty scene green trees and shrub
berry, the blossoms of cherry time
in Japan, Japanese screens about
and over all many Japanese Ian
terms throwing a subdued lighting
effect.
Part one consisted of recita-
tions by some of Mrs. Peacocks
pupils in expression, and these
were all so thoroughly good and
enjoyed so we'll that the audience
would have called for encores had
there been time for them.
Playing Lady," by Alice Phil
lips was just what one thought it
would be, initiating the grown-ups
and the imitation was very real,
indeed.
Jean Esther Herbert told Of
What the Wood Fire Said," in a
well trained voice and with splen-
did memory. Catherine Herbert
gave ''The Quarrel in a very cap
tivating manner. Pauline Eilber
spoke Patchwork Quilt" with
piano accompaniment very pref
tily and Hazel Smith brought the
audience into bursts OF merriment
as little darkey girl. She recited
'Topsy's Conversion
Madeline Wilt brought down the
house with her Maggie Mccarthy
on Dietin'. Dressed in ridicu-
lous fashion, Madeline's ludi-
crous manner of depicting the fat
woman, and her attempts at be-
coming less so, were very funny
and the hearty applause was well
deserved.
Varying these recitations trio
was sung by Pearl Bright, Helene
Wilson and Hattie Elston and an
encore was also given.
Another feature interspersing
the program was the dancing by
Madge Little, Irma Edighoffer,
Rosetta Bryce, Margaret Pollock
and Gertrude Minnie. 1t was
called the Butterfly" dance, ana
the young girls looked very at
tractlve In their different colored
tarletan dresses and their move
ments were full of grace. They
were called back for a repetition
Madge then danced alone the Gu
pids dance which won her much
admiration and applause.

enthusiasm and sincere apprecia
tion of her talent in this line.
Such an effort as this whole en-
tertainment was to the centra
figure and to all the assistants
is worthy of great praise, and oul
little city is surely blessed with
unusual talent.
The evening was further liven
ed by Olin Cameron's orchestra
which did their usual good work.
The receipts Of the evening
were $157.

REMEDIAL MEASURES
EXPECTING SCHOOL
EFFICIENCY

1t was stated previously that
the efficiency Of Yale schools
could be raised II to Is per cent,
and that this could be accomplish
ed in three or four years, which
would mean to the district the
saving of the cost of one teacher
each year. This can be accom-
plished through the cooperation
of parents and teachers.
The largest factor by far, III
causing Fl percent rEpeaters in
our schools is irregular attend
ance. Some of it is necessary
through illness, but it is the time
the child could be in school when
he is not that will do much to
bring up the efficiency OF our
schools and at the same time re-
duce unnecessary cost in running
than every additional day that a
child is in school increases his
chances for success in making
normal progress in school. If a
child is in school 80 per cent of
the time, and he could do 100 per
cent in school, Theoretically he
would be able to obtain grading
Of so per cent and be promoted,
but in reality this is not the re-
suit. In the first place, but few
children do on the average 100
per cent work. In the second
place the child does not usually
succeed in getting 80 per cent for
the reason that the days or half
days of absence form broken
links in a chain of connected
knowledge.
This slows down normal prog
ress because in so many cases the
preparations of today's work is
necessary to the understanding of
tomorrow's lesson. The chances
are that in the case cited above,
the grading will be under rs and
a failure instead Of 80 per cent,
FOf course there are exceptions to
the rule. A lack of understanding
of the work is followed by dis
couragement and the possibility of
this child becoming a repeater is
large.
Sometimes there are legitimate
reasons for a child doing more OF
less school work in the home
1t sometimes means the difference
between success and failure to
the students. Parents may dc
much to insure the success OF
children who have home study by
providing a quiet, comfortable
place for work regularly.
Proper amount Of sleep is es.
sential to normal progress in

portant factor in the efficiency of
school, and when it is necessary
to secure new teachers, it is
economy both from the standpoint
Of the child and the financial cost
to secure the most efficient teach
ers possible. Yale teachers have
been working on the efficiency in
teaching for several months and
the results are very gratifying.
The failures for the past semester
have been reduced to 2 per cent
on the average, which looks good
in view of the fact that some
schools have as many as 20 per
cent.
Seine of the repeating of grades
could be avoided by parents hav-
ing physical examination for
adenoids, diseased tonsils, bad
teeth and eyes. These causes for
repeating grades exist here and in
many places is no small factor. A
pair of glasses or a simple opera
tion for adenoids or bad tonsils
will mean much in the way OF
comfort and progress to the child
and at the same time the financial
standpoint, will save $50 to $40 to
the district.
Sometimes the course of study
needs changing to adapt it to the
needs of the children. The course
of study is for the children ano
not the children for it. This con.
tributes something to the efficien'
cy of the school.
We invite everyone to do all you
can by cooperation to bring the
efficiency of our schools to the
highest plane possible, for first ot
all it will mean much for the
children, and in the second place
it will be an economic matter tC
the district.
All who would like to visit tn,
school, we would like to see at any
time.
