SPRAY OF THE RAPIDS.

Prof. NJ. V. O'Shea of the Wisconsin
University at Madison delivered his
first lecture on Child Study Tuesday
evening in the NJ. E. church. His
audience was not as large as it should
have been, for the practical and valua-
bic address he gave should have been
heard by every parent and teacher in
both cities. He hasa pleasing appear
ance and his manner enhances his
impressions upon his hearers. He has
a great many. practical ideas in the
proper training of children and he
conveys them to his hearers in such
simplicity and ease that anyone can
grasp them. We gathered from his
talk that to get the ideal in the
child it was necessary for the parent
or teacher to live and act as near the
''ideal' as possible. He is thinker
and fine reasoner and we sincerely hope
his audience will be larger with each
succeeding lecture.

Another meeting of the board of
directors, Wisconsin Valley Advance
ment association, is being held at
Tomahawk today. E. Oberbeck of
Centralia is present at this meeting in
his capacity as one of the directors,
and E. P. Arpin of Grand Rapids, who
has been up north on business, is
probably there also. Mr.. Oberbeck
solicited Centralia a few hours and
secured twenty-four memberships to
the Advancement association. The
business men in Grand Rapids should
also register their names and will
doubtless keep pace with other cities
when once awakened to the impor-
lance of SO doing.

Here is what Peter Cooper, who
died worth millions, said Of news
paper: In all towns where a news
paper is published every man should
advertise in it, if nothing more than a
card stating his name and the business
he is in. 1t does not only pay the
advertiser, but it lets people at a
distance know that the town in which
you reside isa prosperous community
Of business men. AS the seeds are
Sown SO the seed recompenseS. Never
pull down your sign while you expect
to do business"

COMPLETE COURSE
OF Study Taught In St,
Bernard Schools
Instead Of Primary Grades Only
Twelve Grades.

In the article in Saturdays issue
of the Democrat, in relation to the
opening and progress of the Catholic
schools Of Akron, it was stated that
only the primary grades of study are
taught in the st. Bernard school.
The statement was an error II
should have been stated that there are
twelve grades of study taught in the
st. Bernard school-six primary grades
and six grammar grades. 1t is the in
tention of this school to instruct in
n senior course, but for lack of room,
this grade cannot be taught at present.
For fear that the statement in Satur-
days paper might confirm readers
to the belief that the courses of study
taught in st. Bernard's school do not
reach as high grades as in the other
schools, this correction Is made. A
complete course of both English ana
German is taught in the st. Bernard
schools.

HE'S A MIDDLEwEIGHT NOW.
Kid Mccoy said Saturday that he
is through for ever fighting heavy

Mccoy said that he is ready at any
time TO make match with Lnnky
Bob, as he is anxious to become the
middleweight champion
Whether Fitzsmmons will re-enter
the ring to fight Mccoy is not known
| just now. Fitzsimmons saw the Kid
fight Jim Corbett and as the latter
beat him with Fitz's blow it would
not be surprise if Lanky Bob con
sented to fight Mccoy.
"They are claiming you are going
to quit the ring" was said to the Kid.
"Why, l should say not" said the
Kid, Il had an idea of doing so after
my recent defeat at the hands of Cor.
bett, but after thinking it over have
come to the conclusion that l am n
young man yet. and have decided to
stick to the business.
In doing so | have made up my
mind to do one thing, and that is never
to fight another heavyweight.
II went out of my class to fight
these big fellows, and the advantage
they had over me in height and weight
was too much. | will fight only men
in the class which [ belong to in the
future-the middleweight. l can easily
make that weight, and will only box
at 15S pounds hereafter.
II am anxious to become the mid
dleweight champion of the world, and
in order to get the title honestly l
would like to fight Bob Fitzsimmons
for it, and am ready now to make
match with him to fight in six or eight
weeks. Tom ORourke is willing to
give us big purse to fight for at his
new club, the Charter Oak Athletic
clug, of Hartford, Conn, | hope Fitz
agrees to fight me, as really think
