TRAINING SCHOOL.

Julius Kell who has been in the
training school two weeks is making
rapid progress in his studies. The "old
timers will have to hustle if they do
not wish to be distanced.
Five pupils from behind the hilp
(Rib,) Misses Pigeon, Brassett, and
Davis. and Messrs. John and Elmer
Pearson, entered the school last week.
All of the above mentioned came as the
result of personal visitation and solicit
alton of Principal Wells.
Masters Prehn and Weiss of Mar
athon City also entered last week.
Though young, they will have time to
grow while bringing up the work.
Miss Bohrer inspected the work of
one of last years graduates at Fenwood
last week, and Mr. Wells visited an
other who is teaching in the district
west of the Fair grounds.
A list of searching questions has been
sent to each one of the graduates bv
which they can test their work to see if
they are keeping it up to high stand
ard of efficiency.
A good list of school journals is kept
on the reading table. After their per-
usal by the pupils they are sent with
other aids to teachers in the field.
1t is the purpose of the instructors to
maintain as close supervision as circum-
stances will allow of all who have gone
out from the school. No pains will be
spared to ensure their success
Some excellent pictures have been
added to the decorations of the room
Townsend MacCoun's Historical Charts
of the United States and map of Mar
athon county have been added to the
equipment.
There is room for fifteen or twenty
more enterprising and ambitious
young people in the school, 1t will be
the beginning of new and nobler life
to the young man or woman who has
the spirit ito enter. The school is de-
signed especially for pupils from the
country. Are there not more farmers
ambitious for the advancement of their
children No better opportunity will
be afforded them. A little self-denial
and effort may make the fortune of
your child.

THE CONVENTION.

Yesterday, four thousand programs,
giving complete outline of the con
vention, and folders furnishing al
necessary information about hotels,
railroad rates, schedule, ETC., were
mailed to teachers in the state. Last
week newspapers containing programs
were sent to teachers throughout the
county.

The high school now enrolls one hun
dred and sixty-one pupils, which with
the fifty or more scholars in the eighth
grade A who will enter ut the second
semester will raise the number above
two hundred in January. The eighth
grade enrolment is ninety three.
The popularity of the commercial
course is shown by the large number
who have taken up the work. Mr.
Preston, the head of this department,
reports fifty scholars in short hand and
typewriting, forty-five in bookkeeping,
and about a dozen in commercial arith-
metic. More type-writers are needed
and as soon as it is known how many
will continue the work, a sufficient
number will be purchased to allow each
pupil one period day at the machine.
This course affords practical business
education that is invaluable to those
who must begin wage earning at an
early age.
Lyceum divisions have been arranged
and the first meeting will be held on
the Friday following the convention.
The Literary Society gives pupils an
excellent opportunity of cultivating
self-possession, clear, rapid thinking,
and forcible expression. Every scholar
is required to appear at least once each
year, and the debates are always open
to volunteers.
The High School Reporter has not yet
made its appearance this year A high
school weekly seems not to have been
as successful in city of Wausau's size
as a monthly might be. Then the in
terest shown in the publication was so
small that editors were continually in
want of suitable copy, and business
managers found difficulty in making
the financial ends meet Almost every
high school in the state has a paper
and it would be pity if we must go
without one for lack of funds or liter
ature. There are certainly good writer's
in the school; an hour or two month
spent by each one would make the pub.

far as he was able to prevent it. The
chief has an eye open all the while and

sterling qualities and has the friendship

largest box shocks factories in the west

shocks manufacturer in this country.

QUEEN SELECTS HIS MAJESTY.
ROYAL Household Now Ready For
Carnival.

The Times Recorder g announcement
of the selection of Miss Kate Hollis as
Queen of the Carnival brought hun
dreds of sincere congratulations to that
very popular young lady yesterday,
and it was the concensus of opinion that
no one in Americus could do the social
honors of our carnival more gracefully.
A social queen already, her pleasant
duties will in nowise be new.
Miss Hollis has bestowed upon Mr..
John Charles Wheatley the distinguish
ed title of King of the Carnival, and
this handsome couple will together
WELD the sceptre and receive the hom-
age of their loyal subjects here.
Arrangements for the coronation have
not yet been perfected, but announce
ment will be made in due time. Miss
Hollis has not yet completed the selec-
ton of her maids of honor, though it
may be put down rs a certainty that
the royal retipue will be very hand
some one.
Both Queen Katherine and King
Charles were the recipients of many
compliments yesterday.

DETERMINES
QUIT DEPARTMENT.
Will Retire From Active Service In
January.
FINE RECORD OF EIGHT YEARS.
Chief Smiths Eyesight Is Defective,
and For This Reason He Will Not
Be Applicant For disappointment =
Made Fine Record,

After a service of eight years as chief
of Americas paid fire department,
Fire Chief II. Fl. Smith will retire
therefrom at the expiration of his term
of office on January LIST, on account of
physical disabilities which perhaps
would lncapacitate him IN the DIS
charge of his duties.
This announcement will cause both
surprise and regret in Americus.
While still able to perform the re-
sponsible duties of his position, Chief
Smith fears that he might not be able
to continue on through another year,
even should he pass the required ex-
animation.
A year or two after the paid depart
ment was established Chief Smith was
put at the head of it, and his record
there has been one of which he feels
Justly proud. He has strived, and
successfully, to build it up and make it
one of the very best IN the state.
How well he has succeeded is evil
denced by the records of his Office,
which shows Americas fire losses to
be smaller than that of any city in the
South in proportion to population.
Some two or three years ago, while
examining leak in Lose at fire,
the hose burst in Chief Smiths face
and his eyesIght was permanently i'm
pared. In a short while he lost the
sight OF one entirely, and the vision of
his remaining optic is such as to give
him serious concern.
For this reason he will retire from
active service and will not be an APP
plicant for reappointment in January.
During his eight years of faithful
service Chief Smith was absent from
only six fires At the first two of
these he was in Atlanta under care of
an occulist; at two others he was i'll IN
bed at his home, while at the two re-
naming alarms be was at his meals.
Few firemen can show such a record
for faithfulness TO duty.
OF course there will be numerous APP
plicants for the position to be vacated
by Chief Smith, though no one knows
who will be the successful one.

DROPPED THE FLORAL PARADE.
Ladies Would Not Rally In Getting
It Up.

It is matter of regret that the pro-
posed floral parade has fallen through
and will not be feature of the fair,
though 1t might have been very pref
ty one. It seems that Mrs Jones,
upon whom feminine eyes were focus
ed, decided yesterday that as the cost
of decorating her strap" would be as
much as 81. so she would not be party
to such amazing extravaganza. This
decision upon the part of Mrs. Jones
quickly determined Mrs. Smith, who
by the way regards Mrs. Jones as sec
ond only to herself in the social swim.
When Mrs, Brown heard that the
Smiths and Joneses had renigged on
the parade she returned the stable
hack which she had hired for the pa
geant and proposed to decorate, and
will expend the amount thus saved
Isl. 25) in Christmas presents for old
Brown and the little Brownies. But
really it is to be regretted that this
beautiful feature of the fair was aban-
doned because one or two ladies de-
clined to take part
