WE have taken occasion before IN
the columns of this paper to lament
and censure the fact that United States
history is so relatively unimportant a
study IN the public schools. It is not
So in all, but it is an unpleasant con-
tenplation that it is in many, and in
the Kenosha schools among others.
It is too often the custom in the schools
to give the eighth grade student an
elementary training on the subject OF
United States history, while in the
High school course it is either con
spicucus by itssabsence or only small
sart of one of several courses.
In our mind there is no more i'm
uortant branch to the American pupi
in the American schools than United
States history. 1t is on level with
COMPOSITION and Arithmetic, the for
qner of which especially has been mos
sadly neglected until recent years. Blu
Emitted States history is still neglect
ed. The high school student is giver
no lack of English and German. Al
Gent and MEDIEVAL and Modern his
tory of a general character, and thu
dead languages, but aside from the lit
tie elementary smattering CLEANED il

United States history is very meagre

Sisters of St. Mary Are Offered Land
for a New Home for Waits in
the City of Chicago. "a.
$4,000 MUST BE RAISED
The Money Will be Used to Construct a
New Home and to Remodel the Summer
Home for children in This City.

The Sisters of ST. Mary, who are in
charge of Kemper Hall and ST. Mary's
summer home for children in this city,
are making an effort to raise $4,000
for the purpose of carrying on the
work which they have begun in caring
for the homeless waits of Chicago.
The representatives of the Sisters in
this city have used circular asking
that funds be donated for the purpose
of building a new home for the use of
the Sisters. The home is to be located
in Chicago, and in connection with the
appeal for aid the Sisters announce
that a wealthy man residing in Chi
cago has given the Sisters property
valued at $4,000. The property is
ideally situated and has frontage of
us feet. The only condition of the
gift is that the Sisters raise a sum of
$4,000 to be used in constructing a
suitab bic building on the property so
granted. The present property of the
Sisters is rapidly deteriorating in
value and in order for the Sisters to
realize a fair value for it it must be
disposed of at once. Illinois and Wis
consin Episcopa1ians and the friends
of the work being done by the Sisters
will be asked to raise the sum needed.
The Sisters are sending to all parts of
the two states an appeal asking that
all persons. regardless of creed, make
some gift to the worthy charity. rtr4
In connection with the building of
the new home, an effort will be made
to enlarge the sun. 1er home in this
city, which is one of the chief branches
of the work. The summer home in
Kenosha was opened about FIVE years
ago and at that time there was less
than twenty children to care for.
Since that time the old buildings have
been built larger as the demand for the
labor of love expanded, but the last
season showed that the home in Keno
sha was all too small to accommodate
the children. The home in Kenosha
has always been open to all creeds and
it has received liberal support from the
people of Kenosha and other Wiscon-
sin cities. In connection with the new
plan, the pupils of Kemper Hall will
make an effort to raise quite large
amount of the money and the former
Kemper Hall girls in all parts of the
state have promised to help. The Mil
waukee A1umnae association will
make special effort to raise funds for
the home and for the enlargement of
the summer home in this city.
The work of the Sisters of St. Mary
has received a great deal of favorable
comment and the people of Kenosha
have in the past taken pride in as
sisting in the support of the home in
this city. They will undoubtedly be
as liberal in this new venture of the
Sisters of St. Mary and bend their en-
ergies to assist in securing the hand
some gift promised by the Chicago
friends of the home. Any contribu-
tons to the fund may, be sent to the
Sister in charge or to the Sister SUI
perior at Kemper Hall.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON is of the opinion
that Congress should look unfavorably
on the bill now before them authoriz-
ing the appointment of Six ens1gns
in the navy out of the list of gunners,
on the grounds that, while the gunners
may, and as a usual thing, have as
great ability as their superior officers,
with as much technical knowledge,
| they are not fit socially to enter the
rock girt RUG of professional aristoc-
racy. They have not had the advan-
tage of a course at the Annapolis
Academy and are therefore unfit to
serve the United States in the porten-
tious offices of peace, in. the harbor of
a friendly nation when the social
functions of the smart set on board
are making things lively; though in
moment like that at Manila Bay or
Santiago they are quite indispensable
and such an affair, would pass off rather
poorly without them. 1t is unfortun-
ate for the popularity OF Admiral
Sampson that he entertains these
views. If he had not himself worked
up to his present position from the un-
promising and inauspicious circum-
stances of a somewhat arduous boy
hood, it might seem more natural that
he should cherish these notions, but
in face of the fact that he has attained
so eminent social graces in spite of the
discouraging condition of early life, it
is rather surprising that he should not
believe that it is possible for other
men to do likewise, even though they
lack the refining influences of a course
at the naval academy where the code
in making social ornaments of cadets
has not been unlike that in vogue in
West Point.
It would have been rather hard on
certain gentlemen of pre-eminent posi-
ton apd honor in the history of the
world, and rather rough on certain ma
tons likewise if the principle, of
which Admiral Sampson makes him
self the champion, had maintained
hitherto in our own and other countries.

TO CHANGE TIME OF ELECTION
School Board to- Elect Teachers in July
Instead of in May.


Al the next meeting of the Board of
Education Chairman Williams will in
troduce a resolution to the Board ask
ing that the time for The annual cleo
ton of teachers be changed from the
May meeting of the Board to the July
meeting. The resolution is favored by
a ma iority of the members of the Board
and will probably be adopted. For
many years the teachers in the schools
have been selected at the May meet
ing of the Board, but it is claimed that
so early an election has not made it
possible for the members of the Board
to make any examination of the work
of the teachers and they usually elect
ed on the recommends ton of the old
members of the Board. The new plan
will give the new members of the
Board ample time in which to look into
the merits or dement's of the teachers
in order that they may vote intelli-
gently on the question of their cleo
! ton.
It is limited that there will be many
changes in the teaching force at the
close of this year and a hard fight is
expected when the question of election
of teachers comes up for the consider
alton of the Board.

BEFORE the approaching city cleo
ton a careful investigation of the ad-
ministration will make it apparent to
all voters of the citysthat a radical
change is necessary in the manage

Die means of a satisfactory and thor

uon-partisan reform party with reform

We are convinced that an independent

a platform declaring for a clean and
business-1ike administration is the
only alternative.

IN the new primary election bill be-

bill is changed in the important feat

of the new bill to retain the conven-
ton. The particular provisions of the
coming bill may call out opposition
Were it would not be expected, but in

bill will come nearer touching the
mart of the matter than any yet pro-
posed. Conventions based on the vote
of the people have had a long and
honorable career in the history of the
United States.
