The Glorious 4th at Willow Springs.

The 18th anniversary of our ma
tional birthday was appropriately Gel
ebrated at the above named place.
The Willow Springs people are noted
for their success in getting up S. S.
and Fourth of July picnics, which
Christian and temperance people are
glad to attend, and have quiet and
enjoyable time. This year a goodly
number were gathered from far and
near, and were delighted with the
program. Visitors were present from
Fayette, Darlington, Mineral Point,
Minneapolis, Chicago and other places
of note, and gladly with us, did honor
to the memory of 1776. Various
games and sports were engaged in with
zest during the day, and balloons were
sent up, which were an attraction for
all. Before the intellectual program
was carried out, the appetites of the
whole multitude were tempted and
satisfied by a prOfusion of the most
delicate yiands. Thanks to the ladies'
After dinner Mr.. James Spensley,
who had been selected for that pur-
pose, presided in his usually quiet and
dignifed manner. and the program
was well carried out. The music was
good, the declaration of independence
was well read by Fred /. Cork, and
Hon. T. Scott Ansley delivered a most
appropriate and effective address,
which was well received by the people.
Both vocal and instrumental music
were dispensed to an appreciative au-
dience. Albert Laird, of Minneap-
oils, b fiat cornetiSt in the F. DAM
Orchestra, treated the audience to
some excellent music on the cornet,
accompanied by the organ, Prof. S.
Osborne, Of Mineral Point, presiding.

Boston for musical treat, and for
further improvement in their line of
work.
In the evening fine display of

and old. The best thing to do next

The 6. A. r. post Of Fond du Lac, al

last week, dropped the name Of Gen.
Edward ). Bragg from their roll OF
members. 1t is said that the meeting
was a very stormy one, and that when
the vote was taken it stood three to
one against Gen. Bragg. The real
ground Of objection to Gen. Bragg
was his opposition to the dependent

Nearly one-half Of the children in
Milwaukee are educated IN the par
ochlal or private schools. The Sen
hnel of that city states that visitors
are denied into the German Cathc-
lie schools. This precludes school
officers from ascertalnlng the neces-
sary information whether the re-
CURED instruction in English branch
es OF education is given or not; the
necessary information can only be
had at second hand, if at all Moth
ing can be more reasonable than the
requirement that English must be
taught in the public schools. All
legal business Of the country is re
CURED to be transacted in English.
Our nation is of English origin.
English wa; the only official Ian
guage of the colonists, nor has there
ever been any other recognized as
such in any state or territory of the
Union. What possible advantage
can it be for any parent to have a
son or daughter learn some other
language in preference to English !?
But whatever may be the claimed
advantages Of instruction in German,
the laws Of this state must be obeyed
to the letter. There can be no
yielding to satisfy the objections of
those who dislike the public schools;
these are inseparable flom the gov
eminent of the state; they are in fact
a part of the government of the state,
incorporated in the constitution,
adopted by the people in 1848. Our
public school system cannot be
changed without changing the gov
eminent.

Chapter of Accidents.

After every 4th, of July, there
comes reported in the newspapers
the usual number of accidents, re-
sultlng from the use of fire crackers,
toy pistols, toy cannons and other
explosives. AS so many accidents
from these sources, are of common
occurrence from year to year, SYM
Dathy for those in ured naturally
grows less, because after so many
warnings against handling com.
bustlbles, lessons of danger should
have been needed But it is not
alone the bodily injuries resulting
from the use of these noisy explo-
slves the papers annually an
nounce disastrous fires, chargeable
to the inevitable little fre-cracker,
SO generally employed to celebrate
independence Day; 1t is the
duty of city governments to ordain
and enforce such ordinances, as
shall protect life and property, and
promote good order. The question
is a proper one, does the roar of
explosives on the 4th. of July, con-
tribute to the proper observance of
the day If it does then they should
be encouraged If the spirit of
patriotism become SO dull, as to
need the explosion of a fre-cracker
pistol or gun, to awaken it into life
and activity, then let the noisy
agent perform its Office.

Fourth of July Observations.

The late Fourth of July appears to
have been more generally noticed in
some form in this country than ever
before. This speaks we'll; National
Independence day should never be
forgotten by the people, but COM
memorated in all suitable ways,
leaving out always dissipation and
carousal. A more perfect day for
agreeability of temperature could
not have been desired. The senior
editor of this paper was invited to
attend the celebration held in the
town of Somers, where the day was
suitably COMMUNICATED, as will be
seen from the letter of our Somers
correspondent. Since our first &C
quaintance with the town of Somers.
a new generation has come upon the
stage of action. Here then an op-
portunity was afforded to contrast
the present with recollections of the
past thirty-hve and more years ago.
The evidences Of marked advance in
culture and refinement were most ap-
parent. The generation of men who
now control the affairs of the town
have had the advantages of free
schools, are mostly we'll educated
we'll informed and qualified to exer-
else the duties of citizenship intelli-
gently. What is true of the men in
the line of progress is equally true of
the women. 1t was the remark Of
an intelligent observer that the large
number of young women and chill
dren on the ground at Somers, for
refinement of manners, good taste in
the style of dress and intelligent
conversation, would fully equal these
classes in any of our cities This is
doubtless true. The old time ex-
preston heard by way of disparage-
ment, "She is only country girl"

The School Question.

The public school question con-
tlnues to be agltated in some quar-
ters with new features added. The
Lutheran Synod, comprising large
and influential body of christians in
Wisconsin which recently convened
in Milwaukee, exhibited an unwill-
ing aCquiescence in all the require
ments of the public schools. They
insist on maintaining parochial
schools; this they have the right to
do. There is no law forbidding the
establishment of as many parochial
or private schools as the people de-
sire. But these schools have no
right to claim exemption from the
public school authorities, for certain
information which the law requires.
The law makes it the duty Of the au-
thorlties to see that every child of a
given age shall be taught English a
certain number of weeks. It is a
mistake to claim that parents have
the exclusive right to dictate what
shall or shall not be taught their
children in school. The law of the
state requiring compulsory educa-
ton, takes duties which belong to
parents and guardians, out of their
hands, when they neglect them, and
puts those duties into the hands of
other persons. The laws requiring
compulsory education are now found
in most of the states of the Union:
they are sufficient evidence that par
ents have no right to do just as they
please with their children. The
state provides the means for the ed
ucation of every child of proper age,
and expects in return an equivalent
in education, which is the best prop
erty the state can possess. The law
requires, as already said, there shall
be English taught in the schools.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY

OUR information in regard to the
crop prospects in this county is de-
rived from the farmers who are met
in the city. The outlook is decided
ly more encouraging than two or
three weeks ago In respect to
corn, opinions differ; some think
there is considerable hope for fair
crop, but majority appear to be-
lieve differently. A good crop Of
oats is not generally anticipated. Pota-
toes are promising. Timothy hay
will not be an average crop; clover
has blossomed on short stems. Up
on the whole the depressed feeling
about crop prospects, manifest sew
eral weeks ago, has passed off.
