ENTERPRISING WOMEN OIL
KENOSHA FORTY YEARS AGO.

Old events are continually passing
out of memory, and of some there need
be no regret; but the achievements of
the publlc-spirited women of Kenosha
forty years ago deserve to be snatched
from the oblivious wave of time.
KenOsha was much indebted to the
women in It's early settlement for
many of the public Improvements
which gave prominence to the town.
The women were intent on rendering
the place inviting to strangers and new
corners. The greater part of the village
plat south of the river was on first oc-

one, taking the past FIVE years. Pears,
peaches and plums are regarded unre-

strawberry crop is grown with about
as much perfection in Kenosha county
as in any other section of the west, and
is reliable about every year.

KENosHA PUBLIC Schools.
DENVER. Coz. Junn1 1873

/ AENOSHA PUBLlC SCHOOLS.
| DENVER, COL, yune1, 1883.
| A few days ago, glancing over the
columns of The Badger, d weekly paper
published by the students of your
State University, my attention was ar
rested by this item: The first graded
school in the state was established at
| Kenosha."
| 1t is but a natural consequence that
the Kenosha schools, once famous
throughout the state, should lose their
prestige and gradually falllbehind, as
neighboring cities developed and out
stripped her in the race ofpopulation
and industry. You cannothope again
to lead the educational institutions of
your state. But with likenumber of
inhabitants, and like AMOUNT of
wealth, it seems not unreasonable to
expect that the oldest graded school in
the state should at least kee1pace with
the schools of other cities.
We may say that this viii depend
upon two conditions: First, have the
citizens of Kenosha given liibral sup
port to their schools? Secondly, have
they received a proper retur6for what
they have given?
In answer to the first aVestion. I
quote the following figures rom last
years report of the State Srperinten-
dent. From the table of statistics on
page 224, find, outside of Milwaukee.
that the average valuation ofpparatus
for the several cities is $597; Kenosha
has 5000 worth. Average vaIlation of
libraries, 1925; Kenosha, $3l3 From
the table on page 231, comparing all
the cities together. / find that he aver
age amount paid for teacEilg each
pupil between the ages of 4ald 20 is
$3.50. Kenosha pays Sligo 3 hSq7teg
amount than Ga1y other cit In the
state. This is certainly a splendid
showing, and proves that theold spirit
that gave such an impetus tdthe cause
of education in early days not yet
dead.
What return has this cae and ex-
pense yielded? Again | qote from
the school report. From pge SIS I
learn that Sc per cent. of th, children
of school age in the variouscities at
tend the public schools, whilIin Keno
sha only 3S per cent. attendthere be-
ing only three cities on the lit with so
small percentage. From Rge 226 l
find that 40 per cent. of tese com
plete the course of study ;Kenosha
brings up near the foot of tn list will
one per cent, there being razy four
cities in the state having so snuU a per-
centage of graduates. TheKenosha
High School has a course in 7hich an
cient languages are taught; iialso pre-.
pGTes students for college, few fig-
ures showing how many havtgraduat- |
ed from the ancient languae course.
and how many have been admitted to
college on a High School diploma. |
would be interesting to supplment the |
above. A recent writer in he TELE- |
GRAPH dryly remarks, that tie public |
schools are running so smoothly you
are scarcely aware of their kistence. |
1t seems to me it would be VIII for ey- |
cry citizen to be not only awae of their
existence, but to take care hat they |
compare favorably with othe schools. |

cupancy sandy plain; so deep was the
sand in the streets that walking was
laborious and tiresome Strangers who
came prospecting for home admired
the beauty of the location, lis natural
advantages for harbor and commerce,
but abominated the sand. The women
resolved something must be done to
cbyiate the objection to the sandy
streets. They accordingly organized
an association called the Plank-Walk
Society" Every resident of the town
was visited and solicited for subscrip.
ton; the effort to raise funds was vigor-
ously pressed and about $500 in cash
was realized. The women invested
this sum in the purchase of plank; the
mechanics and Workmen were induced
to volunteer their services to put down
the plank, constructing walk of suff1-
cient width to admit of two persons
walking abreast. The plank walk on
Main street being finished, it was
luxury for citizens to be relieved from
working their way through the deep
sand. Every one was enthusiastic
over the good work the women had
been instrumental in accomplishing.
Two years later, the population hay
ing considerably increased. and the
prospects for the future being full of
hope, attention was turned to the i'm
provement of the park. Ways and
means were discussed by the leading
male citizens for raising the funds ne
cessary to accomplish the work. Here
again the women came to the front
and undertook the enterprise them
selves. They organized under the
name of Park Improvement Society,""
elected their officers, and set about So
Letting money, and between three and
four hundred dollars were secured.
Lumber was purchased, carpenters en-
ployed, and neat fence enclosing the
park was built and painted. A variety
of eVergreens also were planted, but
these in after years were destroyed by
cattle allowed on the ground, who have
a propensity to assault this kind of
shrubbery with their horns. The fenc-
ing of the park was made another oc-
casion for applauding the public-spir-
tied women of the town The park
fence stood we'll for more than twenty
years, when, like many other things
earthly, it began to show signs of de-
cay. No effort was made to repair or
rebuild the fence; many OF the old
friends who had labored for its i'm
provement had moved to other parts
of the country, or had passed beyond
the river where scenes of more trans
cendent beauty and enjoyable than
earthly parks await the coming of the
well-doers.
A few years later. the women of an
other generation conceived the idea of
identifying the park; their plan was
magnificent and classically designed.
How their ideal project ended has
been often told and need not be re-
peated. There are gloomy apprehen-
sions thu park will never again have
such earnest and perseveringfriends as
the women forty years ago.
