Education In Wisconsin.
NOVEMBER 10, 1896.

IL is the present b0ast or the com :
mohwealth OF Wisconsin that her
educational system compares very
fayOrably with that of the foremost
states of the Union in this regard.
The trainers OF oar Con stitution, sup
ported by liberal provisions by Con-
gress. laid an enduring foundation
upon which To rest a public school
system So broad in its scope as 10
secure To the children of the hum blest
inhabitant the same advantages for
securing common school education
as those enjoyed by their more
wealthy neighbors. ana this public
school system has wisely been sup
plemented by Normal Schools fer the
training of teachers, and the State
University for the benefit of those
who desire still higher education.
This state is peopled by an intelli-
gent and progressive class of citizens,
and their advancement in the develop
ment OF the resources with which
they have been favored, and their
progress in commercial and indus
trial way, have been accompanied by
corresponding advance in the eff
cheney of the excellent educational
system with which they have been
provided. Some people are prone TO
underestimate the value Of the educa-
tional advantages WHICH they enjoy,
hut as rule parents and guardians
seem inclined 50 far as practicable To
avail themselves of the opportunity
TO give To those under their charge "A
thorough knowledge OF the common
school branches at least the possession
of which fits one for an intelligent
discharge of the duties of good citizen
ship.
The continually increasing efficiency
of our educational system is found in
improved methods of teaching, aided
by the introduction from time to time
of new appliances suggested by adj
vancing thought and demonstrated
by experiment and experience to be
desirable, and by gradually elevating
the standard To be obtained by both
pupils and teachers.
The leaders in educational work in
Wisconsin are men and women of ripe
experience, progressive in Thought,
and prompted ~ their efforts by a zeal
that is worthy the noble calling in
which they are engaged. In the hands
of such loyal leaders the interests Of
our educational system will ever be
found safe and prosperous, and press
ing forward still further as experience
shall suggest innovations which may
be profitably adopted.

for foreign dressmakers, who must be served
early. Now these dressmakers will not be
willing to cross land and sea for gowns that
resemble too much those Of last year; they
must have a certain number of innovations.
This is not to say that the foreign cintelle
is more keen, perhaps, than the French after

Mrs. Moulton has always had exceedingly
good reviews from the English papers; but
during the last two or three years she has
had many columns devoted to her and her
work in leading English periodicals, the
London Quarterly at one time giving no
less than eleven pages to the discussion Of
her writings, while the Fortnightly Review,
Athenaeum, Literary World and hosts Of
others were scarcely less enthusiastic. In
