COMMUNICATED.

To THE PATRONS of the School in Joint
District No. /, City and Town of Mani
towoc.
Being informed that many respectable
aud well-meaning people in your district
hold the opinion that 1, as superintend-
emit of schools, wronged the man who has
acted as principal of your school since
last August, I take the liberty to make
the following statements.
l. Said principal attended a public
teachers examination held in this city
last October, and was examined in all
branches required for third grade GER
tidcate. He failed to reach the required
standing aud consequently was not hcens-
ed to leach. He did net fail through ig
norance of important technicalities,
forms. markings, dates or places; but be
failed because his papers showed his
knowledge of the common and practical
English branches to be very limited, and
that he had not attained even fair de-
gree of intellectual culture.
2. The examination was conducted in
accordance with law, and continued two
days and half. The standings required
for certificates of the different grades had
been determined before the examination
began. All the applicants wrote on the
same set of questions at the same time,
thus giving all an equal chance. The
questions were fair, and any one with
good common school education could
have obtained high standing on them.
Though this principal had the privil-
eye, if he claims that l did not do him
justice, to appeal to the state superinten-
dent, I make the following proposal
Ii said principal desires, / will submit
his examination papers together with the
questions to any three competent men
residing in this city, to decide whether l
have been unjust, or said principal is a
pretender.
The only object have in making the
foregoing statements and proposal is to
vindicate our system of county examina-
tons, which during the past ten years,
supported by the sentiment of our best
citizens, has done much toward eleyatirg
the character of our schools.
Your obedient servant,
c.. T. VIEBAHN.

with propriety be applied to the major

The law empowers treasurers to collect
taxes by distress and sale, and taxes on
zeal estate may be collected in this way
as well as taxes on personal property.
People should bear this fact in mind.

THERE liz now confined in the Jail rather
a high toned tramp. He was picked up
some weeks ago liz deplorable condition,
sick and ragged. The sheriff procured
medical attendance and gave the fellow
excellent treatment When he became
better his daily bill of fare did not in
clude as many delicacies as he thought he
was entitled to. His trampship became
indignant and insisted that he would
receive better treatment of one of the
hotels and that the city should maintain
him there. He is insolent and abusive
and demands that the sheriff should con-
sult him as to the kind of food he would
prefer. He should be kept on bread and
water for few weeks and put at hard
labor until he becomes more tractable.

THE city of Milwaukee has made an
appropriation of $780, 200 for a normal
school. This will insure the location of
a normal school at that place. 1t will be
simply high school for Milwaukee at
the expense of the state. For perfectly
ridiculous and absurd educational iegis
lation, the state of Wisconsin st inds su-
preme. Colleges and normal schools are
receiving so very much attention at the
expense of the common schools, that it is
question whether it is not better to
abolish the latter entirely. Whenever
lot of superannuated old school masters
find that the business of teaching is be
coming precarious on account OF their
fogyism and general worthlessness, the
powers that be, sometimes through the

ture by an educator" whose attention to
political trickery exceeded his attention
to professional duties, have bill passed
for the establishment of normal school,
the Creation of chair" in a normal
school already in existence, or an increase
in the institute force, and the "superan-
nuated" are placed in position where
they are comfortable. Then the "pow-
ers' have lot of pets whose dignity
would be compromised by mingling with
the lowly who attend state examinations,
and they are relieved from duties impos
ed upon others and given state certifi-
Gates through the act of a legislature,
many of the members of which find it
difficult to write their names legibiy.-
Wisconsin is becoming glorious state,
educationally State certificates are
cheap and the state swarms with institu
tons IN which they are manufactured.
Normal schools are being established
when those already in existence find it
difficult TO get students enough to make
a respectable showing on graduation day.
High schools have become ''feeders" for
colleges and the little school on the cross
roads Is left to it's own local resources,
while schemes innumerable are concocted
to better the condition of the normal
school, the college and the university.
Prof. Graham could not be elected state
superintendent because he is common
school man and has more practical ideas
on educational matters than all the col
lege presidents that ever lobbied through
bills in the legislature favorable to the
petty institutions that teach how not to
educate. Wisconsin is making immense
strides and has shook of the common
schools to which it says ''root, hog, or
