Eastern Teachers, Meeting.

The members of the Eastern Teach
ers' Association of Kenosha county
held the regular monthly meeting at
Pleasant Prairie last Saturday. De-
spite the threatening weather and poor
travel over twenty teachers were in
attendance. The meeting was called
to order promptly at $50 by Vice Pres
ident Miss Lulu Rowbottom, and
opened with singing.
The first number on the program was
''Manua1 Lesson in Upper Form
Language" ably presented by Supt.
Griffith. Many excellent points were
gained from the list of questions pre-
pared by the Superintendent
Following this was a discussion of
Current Events led by Ralph Karnes.
All the leading topics of the day were
taken up and carefully considered.
Geometry, with special reference to
the circle, was presented by Mr.. Grit
fifth. Tn this subject it was plainly
shown that the basic principles may
easily be taught to children.
After the noon intermission the
Algebra, carefully demonstrating the
application of the Communicative, Asso-
ciative and Distributive laws of Null
tip1ication. This is subject which
few Algebra students thoroughly COM
prehend, and the ideas gained should
be of vast benefit to teachers.
The program closed with an exchange
of ideas and the querr box, which was
valuable and interesting part Of the
exercises.
Rev. EN-. Andrews, of Woodwork,
honored the meeting by his presence
and showed much interest in the
work.
The teachers who attended were
Misses Rhodes, Hockney, Mcneil,
Butcher, Myrick, Price, Reed, Row
bottom, Murdoch, Jackson, Garland,
Castle, MINIS, Bradley, Elga and
Amy Shearer, and Mesdames Peck and
Sche1oske, and Messrs. Griffith, Ho1len-
beck, Powell, Pierce, Ralph and Frank

AFLEAsANT EVENING.

When a winters snow is all crowded
into one month and that the shortest
one of the year, people have to grasp
their opportunities if they would enjoy
sleigh riding. And the crowd that
gathered at the Epworth League Social
on Friday evening proved that our
people understand the trick of grasp
ing opportunity by his forelock. The
gentle spring shower that cam that
evening failed to brighten people into
staying at home.
It took four horses to draw the
sleigh-load of youth and beauty and
music that came down from Somers to
help fill Mr.. John Pedley' big house.
Their singing added much to the
evenings enjoyment, for it's always a
pleasure to hear the Somers people
sing; and the instrumental music rem
dered by Miss Mabel Cook was. especi-
ally fine. ~,
Games constituted the amusementeof
the evening, but chiefly the game of
conversation as the house was too full
to make the playing of other games an
unqualified success. -.
Refreshments, consisting of coffee
and doughnuts, were served at ten
thirty, from supply that seemed to be
inexhaustible, and the last of the coffee
was lust as good as the first, and that
isn't saying that the first wasn't good
for it was good. Nothing shabby
about our people! *s
Our only regret is that they talk Of
resting from their 1abors until nature
gets done with her spring cleaning
and the roads get settled. u.

A birthday surprise was planned
and perfected on Mrs. George Bruh1
last Friday evening. Mrs. Bruhl was
somewhat confused when about sixty
or more friends came in, but she soon
overcame her somewhat embarrassing
situation and enjoyed the evening,
which was spent in games, music and
song. At II O'Clock very elaborate
supper was served, after which the
crowd dispersed to their homes.
It was a genuine surprise on the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lud-
wig when about twenty-eight of her
young friends came in to help her cele-
brate her seventh birthday. A pleas
ant time was spent, the features being
a choice luncheon of cake, fruits and
candies.

CRUISE. ON THE GULF.
Milwaukee, Kenosha Fishing Parties Leave
Saturday for Gulf of Mexico.

No matter what degree of winter
weather prevails on Wisconsin's lake
shore next week, it will be summer
time for Charles Quar1es, Fred Vogel
and Louis Quar1es, of Milwaukee, and
and E. H. Theirs, of this city. They
expect to start Saturday for a months
yachting cruise on the Gulf of Mexico
and adjacent waters, returning about
Easter.
The party will leave Milwaukee, &C
cordlng to the present plans, on Satur-
day, arriving at Hunta Gorda, Fla,
MONDAY evening. Charles Quarles'
eighteen-ton schooner-rigged yacht,
the Ethel O., will be lying at anchor
there ready to receive the party, and
they will put to sea for months cruise
on charlotte harbor and the Gulf or
Mexico. Punta Gorda is the end of
the railroad and there are only small
steamlets below it on the Florida coast.
For this reason the party will be prac-
t1cally beyond the pale of civilization
during their cruise.
we expect to fish good deal, said
Mr.. Quarles last evening, "and some
OF us will learn to be sailors, have no
doubt. 1t may be we shall get some
tarpon, although we don't go as far out
OF Our way to get tarpon as some do.
There are many other kinds of fish to
be- caught with rod and reel so much
easier.''
While this Milwaukee party is cruis-
ing for pleasure on the waters west of
Florida, Senator ]. V. Quarles will
probably be on his way to Cuba for a
pleasure trip.

more varied in the one case than the
other that satisfactory filing of the
one might to great extent unfit 4
man for the other, owing to the habit
of men to get into rut and stay
there.
I The selection of d Circuit Judge for
this Circuit is too important a question
for the people to approach without
care, reason and d calm and dispas-
stoned weighing of the qualifications
of the candidates. What the people want
and what they have right to have is
the best man, not one who will do, but
the one who will best do. They are
entitled to the truth, and all the truth.
There is no political question at issue
in this canvass, the man who is best
fitted to be the next Circuit Judge by
experience, learning, natural fitness
and acquired ability, by upright and
honest living and doing, should be
selected.
Conceding to Judge BeldeG all due
credit for his conduct as Probate
Judge, it is apparent to the writer that
the knowledge gained in that office is
not such as fits man without expert
ence in active practice, and with a
limited legal training, to undertake
the greater duties devolving upon
Circuit Judge.
Fortunately for the people of this
Circuit, we have heretofore had men
upon our Circuit bench who were or
naments to any court. AS has been
shown in the selection of more than
one for higher judicial position. and
we have also now an aspirant for that
office whose qualifications, legal, men
tai and moral, can be compared with
any predecessor in that office without
any question that his will suffer in the
comparison.
Rarely can d man with the attrib
utes of Mr.. John B. Simmons be Sc
cured for position, to obtain which
any contention is required; and the
writer knows that such contention is
most repugnant to him. The present
seems to be time when the public is
| favored by fortune, as an opportunity
to secure a worthy successor to such
Judges as the Honorable William
William Penn Lyon, John i. Went
worth, John B. Winslow and Hon.
| Frank M. Fish, all of whom graduated
to the bench after long years of sue
cessfu1 practice at the bar, should not
be lightly overlooked.
