Clearwater (Wis.) Industrial School

By D. H. Oberholtzer

THE accompanying illustration shows the Clearwater (Wis.) Industrial School. This school was begun largely because of a local demand, one person giving ninety acres of land, and the citizens subscribing quite liberally for the erection of a suitable building for this purpose. This building was partially completed, and school work was begun, a little over a year ago, with two teachers doing primary and intermediate work. At the beginning of the present school year, the work was reorganized, and the school is now prepared to do a higher grade of work, including both vocal and instrumental music, dress-making and carpentry, as well as other industries. The school is located on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, six miles from Eagle River, the county-seat of Vilas County, convenient for northeastern Wisconsin and northern Michigan. Though as yet in its pioneer state, it offers good facilities to our young people who desire a preparation to enter the Master's work. It is located away from the busy scenes of this world's traffic, where, in the quiet of the fields and woods, students can pursue their studies.

Land is cheap, and families who desire to locate near one of our schools, will find here a good opportunity of getting a home. All kinds of vegetables, small fruit, grain, and hay grow almost to perfection; fine apples are also grown here.

Students are now coming in, and we hope soon to have an interesting class at work. There is still room for others. Those desiring further information should write to C. W. Hess or the writer at Eagle River, who will gladly give all desired information.
