IT is commonly supposed that the

THERE isno better way to increase
the efficiency of the public schools
than to frequently visit them. A
superintendent once wrote: "AIen
will drive once a week five miles in
to the country to see about the treat
ment Of a colt they are pasturing,
that wouldn't go once in five years
to visit the schools where their
children spend six hours a day for
three-fourths of the year" 1t does
not do to say, "The schools are all
right" or to find fault because they
are not better. What can be done
to render the government of the
school less difficult? The whole
some fear that Pa or Ma may drop
in any moment and catch the young
ster in his mischief. What is a
greater stimulus to study, than the
possibility that one Of the parents
may listen to the recitation? Par
ents, you can do much to help the
hard-working teacher by your fre-
quent presence, and arouse the lazy
pupil. Try It.

lIIGH LICENSE There is every
indication of powerful influence at
work in this state in favor of high
license Nearly all the cities aud
towns of Wisconsin declared for
high license or prohibition 1t the re-
cent elections, aud the indications
are strong that the next legislature
will give the saloon men of Mllwau-
kee a $500 license law Even Mr..
WalIber, German aud Mayorelect
Of Milwaukee, expressed himself,
privately, to the mon who placed
him IN nomination, that he favored
q $500 license for the city We
have known Emile Wallber many
years. He is an accomplished gen
tleman, somewhat aristocratic, but a
very fair, clean man lie takes a

lieve in Sunday dance houses, and
seldom visits the Beer Halls. May
