Feb %
Mr.. D. NJ. Loughlin who teaches
the school at Kellners Corners spent
Sunday visiting friends and relatives
in Cato. Dan says hard work is the
cause of his seldom coming to see his
many friends in Cato. There are few
| teachers who work more earnestly for
the advancement of their pupils than
he, as the high standard the school at
kellners Corners testities, which has
been under his supervision the past
three years.
Brillion is beginning to put on city
airs. The publication of a newspaper
called the 'Brillion News" Is an evil

happenings and deserves success, but
it does seem to be rather too sarcastic
when speaking of Brillion's less sue
cessful sister, Reedsville.

The township system of school gov
eminent will be an important ques-
ton in the town of Cato the coming
election. The greatest obstacle to the
success of this movement IS the fact
that many do not thoroughly under
stand the law and are not aware of
the advantages of this system over
the district system. Those persons
who have carefully read State Super
intendent Wells address to the State
| Teachers Association are generally
| found to be earnest advocates of the
movement. If the question were
| thoroughly discussed and understood
| its success would be assured. The
literary societies in the town should
have the subject brought up in their
meetings and the benefits that would
accrue from its adoption set forth.
These societies were organized to edu
cate the people and this is an excel
lent opportunity to advance the cause
