State Supt. Harvey has our
thanks for two pamphlet reports just
issued. One deals with his work as
commissioner appointed by the legis-
lature of '99 to investigate the meth
DDS of procedure in this and other
states and countries in giving instruc-
ton in manual training and in the
theory and art of agriculture in the
public schools. The other is his reg
ular biennial report as state superin-
tendent for the two years ending
June 30. 1900. Both are interesting
volumes.
An exchange says that a county
uperintendent in neighborng city
asked every teacher at the county in |
stitute who took their local paper to
hold up their hand and out of about I
one hundred only six responded. |
The uperintendent expressed great |
surprise and said: You don't spend |
a dollar year with these papers yet
you expect them to print your notices
OF institutes, reports, programs, etc.,
all free OF charge and thus expect
them to advertise you to climb the
ladder to better positions and better
salaries without one cent of patron
age.
We chronicle with pleasure the
fact that James Williams, one of Lam
casters most highly respected clti-
zens, is recovering slowly from long,
severe siege of illness that has con-
fined him to his home for many weeks.
Rather than endure the rigors of an
other Wisconsin winter, however, Mr.
Williams contemplates a change Of
residence to a warmer cline and this
part Of it we dislike the most. As a
preliminary undertaking he offers his
desirable residence property, situated
in the eastern portion of the city, for
sale at a sacrifice, notice of which APP
pears elsewhere. A host of friends
and associates will learn of this con-
elusion with regret, not because they
do not wish to see him once more en-
joying the best of robust health. but
ON account of the vacancy his depart
ure Will produce in social circles
where his was always prominent
figure. We trust the warm rays OF
May sunshine with the careful atten-
ton on part Of devoted wife vii
bring about convalescence to such an
extent that his plans may be altered. |
