A CORRECTION.

cit is said the boys have sworn off
playing poker for two years and signed
a paper to that effect, not because it is
wicked and wrong, but because they have
been cleaned out and desire to recuper-
ate their finances"
The above item of local news appear
ed in the last issue of the Tribune and
as seems customary with that sheet, con-
talns gross Misrepresentation of princi-
pal facts which from a sense of strict
justice to the boys referred to, demands
explanation from some one who knows.
That number of the young men have
formed the praiseworthy resolution and
have signed written agreement they
will, not only by example, but by person
al effort as well, do all within their DOW
er to suppress and to discourage gam
bling IN our city, is true, but the remain
der of the above article is not only mex
cusably false and injurious, but is as
contemplate as it is uncalled for. If, as
the so called editor of the Tribune vainly
tries to have US believe, he is truly a
sincere reformer, aiming to promote the
best interests and moral welfare of our
community, why not give the boys due
credit for a commendable spirit and sin
cere desire to overcome the pernicious
Influences he SO persistently pretends to
deplore, instead of giving unnecessary
circulation to the misleading insinuations
embodied in lis unjust and inconsder-
ate comments. All good men and women
gladly welcome every reform with gen-a-
inc pleasure and cheerfully ercouraoe
all efforts tending in that direction. Mar
row minds on the coltrary, are ever ready
and willing to ascribe narrow and sordid
motives. To which class does our friend
the great reformer owe allegiance? As
for the unfortunate state of "the boys"
finances 50 touchingly alluded to, all late
reliable accounts substantially seem to
agree they are apparently solvent, paying
as they go, one hundred cents on the dol
lar. "Good teacher" go thou and do
likewise. By their works, not profess
sions, We shall know them. Hoping
this ''little mite" may meet with the de-
sired success of doing justice to all
concerned, injustice to none, subscribe
myself with pleasure as
ONE WHO KNOWS.

THE Chronicle placed a wrong con-
struction upon the article in The Pilot
relating to local newspapers. Their nat
ural function is to give local news and it
is this, written as The Chronicle suggests,
which gives local paper reputation.
But every editor should have opinions
on public matters and the ability to give
them proper expression. Look over the
state and reflect on the number of pa
pers there are, far in excess of any need,
most of them keeping their publishers
in want, and the conclusion is inevitable
that these people must be lacking in
good judgment to continue in business
which does not afford a livelihood.
Every one capable of forming letters
with pen" has an idea he can edit q
paper and the number of papers are con-
stantly on the increase. It certainly re-
quires talent to prepare a local page as
it should be, but localizing is misunder-
stood and it is degenerating because it is
believed any one is fit to do the work.

REPORT OF TEACHERS MEETING
HELD FEB. 9, AT MANITOWOC.

Meeting called to order at 10:15 by
MIR. Moeller. Mr.. E. r. Smith was
chosen president pro tenn.
Miss Richter then conducted class
exercise in language, which was design
ed to show method of teaching correct
forms of expression to pupils of primary
grades.
The subject was talk about animals.
Pupils were questioned as to the mode
of life, uses, habitation, coverings, etc. !,
of different animals, being required to
answer in complete sentences. The pu-
pills were prompt and attentive, and a
lively interest was kept up during the
whole exercise, which called out f1atter-
ing comments from the teachers.
A paper on the Use and Abuse of Text
books, was read by MIR. Moeller. THE
present agitation of this subject is not
only justified, but necessitated by the
abuse of Textbooks" In many instan-
ces the book is allowed to take the place
of the teacher, while he is mere ma
chine for the purpose of hearing lessons.
The teacher who is unable to appear be-
fore his pupils without book in hand is
scarcely worthy the name teacher. AL
though he should work independently of
text books, he should have recourse to
many, but should be a slave to none.-
The province of the school is not to
crowd the mind with dry and useless
facts. 1t should give more than mere
memory training. The other faculties
also should be developed. The remain
ing time till noon was occupied by the
election of officers. @. E. Patzer was
chosen president and Katie Dempsey,
secretary.
The afternoon session was opened by
the reading of paper on School Recrea-
ton, by Miss Niquette. The recess
should be made pleasant for pupils or
such days as are unfavorable fer ont.
door amusements. The games should
be physical, such as calistbenics rather
than mental exercises aud should be to
the pupils pleasure, not an obligation.
A very interesting paper on grammar
was read by Mr. Burch. The paper sug-
gested that grammar proper, be abolish
ed IN country schools and in primary
grades. No one has changed from a
poor speaker to good one by applying
the rules of grammar to his remarks
"The time is coming, and it will be here
ere long, when we will no more teach a
boy the grammar of his mother tongue.
than we would astrology.
Principal Smiths paper on Nature
Study, elected much meritorious criti-
cism. The encouragement of indepen-
dent investigation by the pupils, and
cultivation of the powers of observation,
were strongly advised.
By request of the teachers Superinten-
dent Nagle read paper entitled, Some
of the Incalculable Elements of Teach
ing. The teachers acknowledged them.
selves forciby impressed with its literary
and educational merits and expressed
their disappointment that they could not
secure the article in print and devote to
it the time which the thoughts therein
deserved.
On motion the meeting adjourned for
four weeks, when joint meeting with
the Sheboygan teachers Will be held.

MEME.

St Isidor's has new organist and
choir. 1t is expected that they will bring
many sinners to repentance by the pa
thos of their music and the sweetness of
their melody.
Jim Sullivan smiles, on every one when
asked concerning the health of the little
stranger boy Jim calls it, but many
are willing to make their ''affadavy" that
it is girl.
NJ. Ell. Egan has returned from his
visit to DIR. Nagle in Missouri He re-
ports the DIR. as rapidly recovering from
his severe attack of malarious fever.
The statement published in the Pilot
to the effect that $4,000 was recently Of
fered for a farm of 100 acres in this town
ship is incorrect, as the owner demands
for the aforesaid farm only $500 and he
is getting no takers even at those figures.
This correction is essential as the opiE-
ion prevails quite generally throughout
the county that Meme is a much more
valuable township than it really is.
Anton Cries of School Hill was acct
IDENTIFY shot by revolver In the hands of
his nephew. He was showing the old
gent how to handle the bulldog" when
it suddenly ''barked" and sent a bullet
into his breast. The bullet has not yet
been found and the old man lies in a
critical condition.
John Donahue is becoming one of the
biggest farmers" in this part of the
county. Everyone knows him to be
live tiller of the soil with lots of ''snap"
to him. He has just purchased another
farm for a handsome consideration and
he intends to farm it up to the top notch
the coming season.
District No. has given up holding
special school meetings and settled down
to business. The next term of school in
this famous district will be held in a very
handsome and comfortable school house
furnished with all the modern improve
ments. Tim Leary has the contract and
has already commenced work.
John Touhey, the popular chairman
of Cooperstown, attended church here
on Sunday last,
Thieves, supposed to hail from She
boygan, recently stole a harness from
Willie Jenkins and sheep from Mr.. Herr.
Persons accused of the crime were arres-
ted in Skeboygan and are now awaiting
trial in Manitowoc.
Mr.. Hestel has commenced building a
creamery and cheese factory, at Mr..
Bohn's. 1t is the first creamery erected
in this township and farmers will anx-
iously await its workings and its profits.
The congregation of ST. Isidor's have
determined to greatly enlarge and other
wise repair their church. This is a move
in the right direction and as the oongre-
cation are possessed of and enjoy a fair
share of the worlds goods it is expected
that no cost will be spared in making the
the edifice what it ought to be-hand-
some and commodious.

FRANK SHAFFER, for some time pro-
prietor of store and saloon in Franklin,
lately disposed of his property to one of
the Vida Bros. of this city and has been
looking around for new location. He
writes from Shawano as follows:
Arriving at Shawano. made the Wis
consin House my headquarters. 1t is a
house kept in first class style and should
any Manitowoc people visit the place l
would advise them to put up at this hotel.
On walking around to view the special
attractions, / was struck by the beauty
of the court house, as handsome one
as there is in the state. The mammoth
grist and saw mill owned by J. D. Kash,
and the general store owned by Koeppen
also deserves notice.
A former Manitowoc nan resides here,
Prof. Weinsbenk. He is leader of a
"silver cornet band" and also gives in
struction to other bands. His friends
in Manitowoc will be pleased to hear of
his success here. Shawano is hospit-
able, home like place, where one may
spend his time pleasantly.

UNION SCHOOL.

A Union School viii be held in the
town of Newton at the schoolhouse near
Teitgen's on Friday and Saturday March
z. and 8.
This is the last of these schools for
this school year. 1t was hoped at the
outset that one could be held in
each town but time would not
permit. With but few exceptions every
teacher in the county has been reached
by means of these schools and it is Ger
tain that much good has been done
through them both in securing improve
ment in methods of teaching and bet
ter understanding of the Course of In
struction.
Teachers who can conveniently attend
this meeting and who have been present
at no other during the year, are expected
to improve this last opportunity. A list
of the names of teachers who have at
tended these meetings will be published
in few weeks.
There is no reason to doubt that school
boards will allow teachers for the time
spent at these meetings. The following
is the programme:

A CORRESPONDENT vigorously resenis
the imputation of The Tribune that the
young men of the city have renowned
gambling because OF their losses to the
clark eyed stranger" They PLAYED
mostly for amusement but perceived
that the habit was growing strong ON
some. and SO broke off generally SO as
to discourage any tendency toward
gambling in a professional sense. This
is their explanation and it is certainly
creditable to them.
