FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.
Committee of Teachers to Devise
Legislative Bill.
COUNTY SCHOOLS NEED ASSISTANCE.
Supt. Christensen says Aggressive Work
Will be Made For Legislative Relief
Educational Interests Hamperd
for Lack of Funds.

County Superintendent of Schools
Fred Christensen will soon call the
| Committee of School Teachers together,
which was appointed at the last teach
ers meeting, to formulate some sugges-
ton which may be incorporated into
bill to be submitted to the legislature,
when it meets next winter which will
be for the advantage of the county
schools, We believe that the. legish-
ture, if it chooses, can very materially
assist us, said the superintendent
Heretofore the men interested in the
normal schools, the high schools and the
city schools have gone y the legislature
and have got favors which very much
increases their facilities and their capac-
ity to perform their educational func-
tions. Now, we are not in the least en-
vious of any appropriation our brothers
in the profession are getting, and we are
glad that the state assists them to do
better work by granting them advan-
tageous appropriations, but we wish to
remind the legislators that the county
schools are in existence, and that they
are doing most important work in the
state and for the country, and up to so
far there has been little assistance rem
dered the county schools, beyond the in
come that comes from setting apart the
sixteenth section and the money derived
from the sale of swamp lands. The couu-
ty schools suffer from lack of funds, and
something should be done to better
them. am hopeful that the committee
will be able to devise some plan of prac-
teal value, which can be put into the
form of II legislative bill so that it can
be placed in the hands of some one from
this district and pushed and the neces-
sary relief wished for, be granted.
The committee chosen by the teachers
for this work is Mr.. NJ. NJ Guhin, Mr.,
Guttmann, Miss Kate Finnegan, Miss
Brennan, Mr.. Mueller, Mr. Westgate
and the county superintendent. A re-
port must be made to the summer insti-
tute, which will be held in Manitowoc
some time next month.

1t Proves That the Madison Lawyer Missed His Cal
ling by not Taking Edwin Booths Advice.

have been better. But by reading his
paper on Hamlet, for it was paper,
read with close attention to his manu-
script, it did not essentially interfere
with his desire to be tragic and intense
ly oratorical
Those who were present We're regaled
with bits of acting, flights of oratory,
specimens of political stump speaking,
dramatic reading, jury argument, court
room tactics, full play of facial express
sion, and real old style Methodist exhor-
tation, for Mr.. La Toilette ran the gam
ut Of all Of them. But it was not an
uninteresting lecture, if lecture it must
be called. On the contrary he held his
audience to the close in wonderment, it
might be said, of his powers as an actor
and as delightful talker
Mr.. La Toilette it is understood, was
advised by Edwin Booth to go upon the
stage, and by not taking the dead ira
gedian's advice the stage no doubt lost
bright and shining light
The criticism of Hamlet's character
and of the play was treat, classical
gem in the line of literary work, very
much La Toilette in delivery, and para
doxical in treatment for the reason that
standing in the light of critic of the
play there was no reason for faying all
other critics because they did not agree
with his Interpretation.

that we are American citizens; citizens
of the grandest, the best, the truest
country on Gods earth. We are here
to be strengthened in the belief, which
is founded on rock, that our country
will always stand for justice and right.
We, the people, constitute this nation.
Have we confidence in ourselves, the in
tegral units of our body politics? If so,
we must have confidence in our country.
THE CoUNTRY'S GREAT WORK.
''Our country will endure in its work
of emancipating man from the thraldom
of paternalistic government, of encour-
aging man TO realize all the possibilities
of his nature, SO long as the individual
units, the citizen, you and l and all OF
us, are actuated by high and noble
ideals. The cure for the evils of dem
ocracy is more democracy. have con-
fidence in the people The more direct
responsibility and power are lodged with
them the more careful will they become
in the exercise of their power. Our gov
ernment, which represents the people
and is simply body of men clothed
temporarily with certain powers to carry
out the will of the people, may occasion
ally fail to act in accordance with pub
lie opinion, the will of the masses But
if so, we have our remedy. There are
no doubt many among us who hold that
in respect to the proposed government
of Porto Rico and the Philippines our
government has arrived at the parting
of the ways Shall we follow the ad-
monitions of our fathers, or shall we
blot out our rich heritage of tradition
and enter the scramble for world en-
pire?
PEOPLE THE SOVEREIGN POWER.
Fellow citizens that lies wholly with
you, who constitu te the sovereign power
of this country. Your will when ex-
pressed through the ballot is supreme.
Let us look at the questions confronting
us to-day from an unbiased, from pure
ly American standpoint. Let us weigh
carefully the right and the wrong of our
possible action, and the verdict repre-
senting the sober thought of this nation
will be right. But, however we may
settle the great questions looming up in
the distance finally, let us not be too
captious in our criticisms of our govern
ment at the present time. So long as
armed rebellion exists against our au-
thority, we must be unit in supporting
the administration, whatever the COM
plexion of its politics may be-"
COL. GRAYs REMARKS.
Ex-Commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, Col. E. B. Gray of Madi-
son spoke of the achievements of the old
soldiers. He recounted the deeds of
heroism they had accomplished and said
the country ever owed them debt of
gratitude. The colonel then, in vivid
words, portrayed the rapid development
of the United States since the civil war,
paying tribute to the foreign born man
who comes here, and, who by his work
and his loyalty becomes an intergral part
of the citizenship of the country. The
colonel was listened to with marked at
tention and he was literally applauded
at the close.
The exercises closed with the firing of
a salute, and the sounding of taps. Prof.
Kaiser and his singers were thanked for
their excellent services. The Lutheran
church band volunteered its services.

Judgingby the size of the audience which
turned ont to hear the lecture of Robert
M. La Toilette on Hamlet" on Friday
evening last to be an index to his popu-
larity in Manitowoc, it is evident that
the brainy Madison lawyer is not so well
known here as he is in other places in
the state, or else there was not suffici-
ent interest taken in his candidacy for
gubernatorial honors, as might natural
ly be expected.
However, it was not as candidate
seeking the Office that Mr.. La Toilette
came to this city, but rather as an art
critic, or to be more explicit, dramat-
ic critic.
Those who had not heard Mr.. La Fol
lette ON the platform, in the arena of
public debate, or arguing case at law,
must have been interested in his peculi-
ar style, but those who had heard him
before easily recognized the speaker
methods of delivery. There was little
or no difference in Mr.. La Toilette as a
public critic of Shakesperian plays than
when he is making an argument to a
jury or delivering political speech.
The wiry little congressman did not at
tempt to lecture. but talked to his audi
ence as if it was a jury and expected
from them a verdict. In that way he
took up more time than he should and
held his audience too long. A more
calm. dignifed STYLE of delivery Wonld

Dead Comrades
Decoration Day Exercises Pass
off Successfully.
MAYOR RAHR'S ELOQUENT SPEECH
Col. Gray of Madison is the Orator Of the
Day and EuIogizes the Veterans.
NAMES OF PILOT PRIZE WINNERS s

Many beautiful flowers were placed
over the graves of fallen heroes yester-
day, and the cemetery, where rest the
brave men who fought in the war of the
rebellion, never looked more attractive
than it did when the exercises, com
memorative of an historic epoch, took
place. 1t is gratifying to The Pilot to
know that the school children took a
part in gathering flowers and preparing
these lovely symbols to decorate the
tombs where honored ashes lay.
Last week The Pilot offered two prizes
open to the school children who should
take the prettiest boquets to the rooms
of the Horace NJ. Walker post G. A. R.
which We're to be used by the living vet
Grams in decorating the graves of their
dead comrades. Many children entered
this most excellent contest, and as re-
suit the post rooms were turned into a
flower garden. Post Commander
Schuette requested two ladies to act as
a committee to determine who had won
the prizes, and they have made their de-
cision, basing it upon the arrangement
of the boquets as well as their choice
ness. The names of the winners are as
follows:
THE PRIZEWINNERS,
First Prize. Burt narkham.
Second Prize. e......... Anna kuska.
The Pilot will hand the money oyer
to the children if they will call at the
office. The management is glad that
they won, although it would be pleased if
a prize could be given to every child,
To those who took flowers and were not
adjudged winners they have the kindly
memory and the great satisfaction of
knowing that the posies they contributed
were used for patriotic purpose. 1t
will please them to remember that by
their own little act they have done
something which make glad the hearts
of the veterans, who years ago endured
the shock of battle that they might live
and grow to manhood and womanhood
ana receive the benefits of freedom ard
education, sheltered by the folds Of one
flag.

less than 1900 persons. The mayor s
remarks were as follows:
MAYOR RAHR'S ADDRESS.
I'VE are assembled on these sacred
grounds to offer again tribute to our
heroes, both living and dead. We are
assembled to listen to addresses COM
memorating their deeds of valor, to
have our patriotism stimulated by the
patriotism which actuated them in
standing by their country in its hour of
need Their deeds are of the past, but
the influence which they exert on the
present generation will be enhanced by
ceremonies of the kind we have today.
And therein lies the great work of
Memorial day observances. When once
the flame of patriotism is permitted TO
die out, this country's race is run, and
we are ready to decline. The dead that
sleep in the shade of these beautiful
trees, and the living veterans / see be

we owe the country. We are h re tc aonor
